Bad codegen (or calling convention?): Arguments pointed to on stack into tailcall

If I understand the current implementation correctly, this uses something in LLVM called musttail which significantly limits tailcalls (in particular the type signature of the callee has to match the...

Allow declarations in @Type for Struct/Union/Enum/Opaque

I have a set of `struct`s that all have a function, let's say `func` and I want a struct that contains all of those functions, named by the struct names....

Stage2: false dependency loop

Another example. I've been struggling with dependency loops forever, and here is the most recent: ```zig const execute = struct { const ThreadedFn = packed struct { f: Fn, const...

Stage2: false dependency loop

I've recently abandoned having the named type ```zig const Fn = *const fn ( process: *Process, ) void; ``` and just put in the whole `*const fn...` stuff everywhere. Ugly,...

LLVM backend cannot lower pointers in packed struct constants

I have an Intel-based mac that I haven't been using. So I tried itlso on zig-x86_64-macos-0.15.0-dev.822+dd75e7bcb and it works properly without haveing to do anything special (like no-llvm switch). But...

LLVM backend cannot lower pointers in packed struct constants

Thanks, @mlugg for confirming my guess as to why it worked. Sigh... and now I get: ``` unable to perform tail call: compiler backend 'stage2_x86_64' does not support tail calls...

LLVM backend cannot lower pointers in packed struct constants

Tail calls are an absolute requirement for this project. So I'm not a happy camper (I've had to change (uglify) 100s of lines of code to move things from comptime...
