zig/lib/std / zig/Zir.zig

Zig Intermediate Representation. Astgen.zig converts AST nodes to these untyped IR instructions. Next, Sema.zig processes these into AIR. The minimum amount of information needed to represent a list of ZIR instructions. Once this structure is completed, it can be used to generate AIR, followed by machine code, without any memory access into the AST tree token list, node list, or source bytes. Exceptions include: * Compile errors, which may need to reach into these data structures to create a useful report. * In the future, possibly inline assembly, which needs to get parsed and handled by the codegen backend, and errors reported there. However for now, inline assembly is not an exception.

Header

In order to store references to strings in fewer bytes, we copy all string bytes into here. String bytes can be null. It is up to whomever is referencing the data here whether they want to store both index and length, thus allowing null bytes, or store only index, and use null-termination. The string_bytes array is agnostic to either usage. Index 0 is reserved for special cases.

ExtraIndex

The meaning of this data is determined by Inst.Tag value. The first few indexes are reserved. See ExtraIndex for the values.

extraData()

The data stored at byte offset 0 when ZIR is stored in a file.

NullTerminatedString

We could leave this as padding, however it triggers a Valgrind warning because we read and write undefined bytes to the file system. This is harmless, but it's essentially free to have a zero field here and makes the warning go away, making it more likely that following Valgrind warnings will be taken seriously.

toString()

Function call. Uses the pl_node union field with payload Call. AST node is the function call.


                .@"resume" = .un_node,

Bodies

Function call using a.b() syntax. Uses the named field as the callee. If there is no such field, searches in the type for a decl matching the field name. The decl is resolved and we ensure that it's a function which can accept the object as the first parameter, with one pointer fixup. This function is then used as the callee, with the object as an implicit first parameter. Uses the pl_node union field with payload FieldCall. AST node is the function call.

BuiltinCall

Conditional branch. Splits control flow based on a boolean condition value. Uses the pl_node union field. AST node is an if, while, for, etc. Payload is CondBr.


        pub const static_len = 124;

Flags

Same as condbr, except the condition is coerced to a comptime value, and only the taken branch is analyzed. The then block and else block must terminate with an "inline" variant of a noreturn instruction.


        pub fn toRef(i: Index) Inst.Ref {
            return @enumFromInt(@intFromEnum(Index.ref_start_index) + @intFromEnum(i));
        }

CondBr

Given an operand which is an error union, splits control flow. In case of error, control flow goes into the block that is part of this instruction, which is guaranteed to end with a return instruction and never breaks out of the block. In the case of non-error, control flow proceeds to the next instruction after the try, with the result of this instruction being the unwrapped payload value, as if err_union_payload_unsafe was executed on the operand. Uses the pl_node union field. Payload is Try.


        pub fn toOptional(i: Index) OptionalIndex {
            return @enumFromInt(@intFromEnum(i));
        }
    };

Try

Same as try except the operand is a pointer and the result is a pointer.


    pub const OptionalIndex = enum(u32) {
        /// ZIR is structured so that the outermost "main" struct of any file
        /// is always at index 0.
        main_struct_inst = 0,

        none = std.math.maxInt(u32),

Declares the beginning of a statement. Used for debug info. Uses the dbg_stmt union field. The line and column are offset from the parent declaration.

        /// value and may instead be used as a sentinel to indicate null.

EnumDecl

A labeled block of code that loops forever. At the end of the body will have either a repeat instruction or a repeat_inline instruction. Uses the pl_node field. The AST node is either a for loop or while loop. This ZIR instruction is needed because AIR does not (yet?) match ZIR, and Sema needs to emit more than 1 AIR block for this instruction. The payload is Block.

Small

Asserts that all the lengths provided match. Used to build a for loop. Return value is the length as a usize. Uses the pl_node field with payload MultiOp. There are two items for each AST node inside the for loop condition. If both items in a pair are .none, then this node is an unbounded range. If only the second item in a pair is .none, then the first is an indexable. Otherwise, the node is a bounded range a..b, with the items being a and b. Illegal behaviors: * If all lengths are unbounded ranges (always a compile error). * If any two lengths do not match each other.

If the value is comptime, the memory location is global static constant data. Otherwise, the memory location is in the stack frame, local to the scope containing the instruction. Uses the un_tok union field.

StructInit

A string name is provided which is an anonymous error set value. If the current function has an inferred error set, the error given by the name is added to it. Results in the error code. Note that control flow is not diverted with this instruction; a following 'ret' instruction will do the diversion. Uses the str_tok union field.

deinit()

Given a value, check whether it is a valid local constant in this scope. In a runtime scope, this is always a nop. In a comptime scope, raises a compile error if the value is runtime-known. Result is always void. Uses the un_node union field. Node is the initializer. Operand is the initializer value.


        pub const MultiProng = struct {
            items: []const Ref,
            body: []const Index,
        };
    };

findTrackable()

A struct literal with a specified explicit type, with no fields. Uses the un_node field.


    pub const ArrayInitRefTy = struct {
        ptr_ty: Ref,
        elem_count: u32,
    };

findTrackableRoot()

An anonymous struct literal with a known result type, with no fields. Uses the un_node field.


    pub const Field = struct {
        lhs: Ref,
        /// Offset into `string_bytes`.
        field_name_start: NullTerminatedString,
    };

FnInfo

An anonymous struct literal with no fields, returned by reference, with a known result type for the pointer. Asserts that the type is a pointer. Uses the un_node field.


    pub const FieldNamed = struct {
        lhs: Ref,
        field_name: Ref,
    };

getParamBody()

Struct initialization without a type. Creates a value of an anonymous struct type. Uses the pl_node field. Payload is StructInitAnon.


    pub const As = struct {
        dest_type: Ref,
        operand: Ref,
    };

getParamName()

Finalizes a typed struct or union initialization, performs validation, and returns the struct or union value. The given type must be validated prior to this instruction, using validate_struct_init_ty or validate_struct_init_result_ty. If the given type is generic poison, this is downgraded to an anonymous initialization. Uses the pl_node field. Payload is StructInit.

getFnInfo()

Struct initialization syntax, make the result a pointer. Equivalent to struct_init followed by ref - this ZIR tag exists as an optimization for a common pattern. Uses the pl_node field. Payload is StructInit.

inst_tracking_version

Given a set of struct_init_field_ptr instructions, assumes they are all part of a struct initialization expression, and emits compile errors for duplicate fields as well as missing fields, if applicable. This instruction asserts that there is at least one struct_init_field_ptr instruction, because it must use one of them to find out the struct type. Uses the pl_node field. Payload is Block.

typeCapturesLen()

Given a pointer being used as the result pointer of a struct initialization expression, return a pointer to the field of the given name. Uses the pl_node field. The AST node is the field initializer. Payload is Field.
