This commit will use the memory layout information for heap allocations
added in the previous commit to determine LLVM types, instead of
guessing their types based on the content. This fixes a bug in which
recursive data structures (such as doubly linked lists) would result in
a compiler stack overflow due to infinite recursion.
Not all heap allocations have a memory layout yet, but this can be
incrementally fixed in the future. So far, this commit should fix
(almost?) all cases of this stack overflow issue.
This fixes https://github.com/tinygo-org/tinygo/issues/1884.
My original plan to fix this was much more complicated, but then I
realized that the output type doesn't matter anyway and I can simply
cast the type to an *i8 and perform a GEP on that pointer.
This implements the copy() built-in function. It may not work in all
cases, but should work in most cases.
This commit gets the following 3 packages to compile, according to
tinygo-site/imports/main.go:
* encoding/base32
* encoding/base64
* encoding/pem (was blocked by encoding/base64)
This interpreter currently complements the Go SSA level interpreter. It
may stay complementary or may be the only interpreter in the future.
This interpreter is experimental and not yet finished (there are known
bugs!) so it is disabled by default. It can be enabled by passing the
-initinterp flag.
The goal is to be able to run all initializations at compile time except
for the ones having side effects. This mostly works except perhaps for a
few edge cases.
In the future, this interpeter may be used to actually run regular Go
code, perhaps in a shell.
