The purpose of this is:
* Only one way to do things
* Changing a function with void return type to return a possible
error becomes a 1 character change, subtly encouraging
people to use errors.
See #632
Here are some imperfect sed commands for performing this update:
remove arrow:
```
sed -i 's/\(\bfn\b.*\)-> /\1/g' $(find . -name "*.zig")
```
add void:
```
sed -i 's/\(\bfn\b.*\))\s*{/\1) void {/g' $(find ../ -name "*.zig")
```
Some cleanup may be necessary, but this should do the bulk of the work.
Before:
* IR basic blocks are in arbitrary order
* when doing an IR pass, when a block is encountered, code
must look at all the instructions in the old basic block,
determine what blocks are referenced, and queue up those
old basic blocks first.
* This had a bug (See #667)
Now:
* IR basic blocks are required to be in an order that guarantees
they will be referenced by a branch, before any instructions
within are referenced.
ir pass1 is updated to meet this constraint.
* When doing an IR pass, we iterate over old basic blocks
in the order they appear. Blocks which have not been
referenced are discarded.
* After the pass is complete, we must iterate again to look
for old basic blocks which now point to incomplete new
basic blocks, due to comptime code generation.
* This last part can probably be optimized - most of the time
we don't need to iterate over the basic block again.
closes#667
* Merge io.InStream and io.OutStream into io.File
* Introduce io.OutStream and io.InStream interfaces
- io.File implements both of these
* Move mem.IncrementingAllocator to heap.IncrementingAllocator
Instead of:
```
%return std.io.stderr.printf("hello\n");
```
now do:
```
std.debug.warn("hello\n");
```
To print to stdout, see `io.getStdOut()`.
* Rename std.ArrayList.resizeDown to std.ArrayList.shrink.
