Having the OS/runtime provide a cryptographic entropy source is the
right thing to do, and we need it to initialize the default random
number generator.
This change was made in order to allow things produced with Odin and using Odin's core library, to not require the LICENSE to also be distributed alongside the binary form.
- Add intrinsics.objc_super()
- Emit objc_msgSendSuper2 calls when an objc method call is combined with objc_super(self)
- Fix objc_block return value ABI for large struct returns
- Fix objc_implement method wrappers bad ABI for large struct returns and indirect args
- Simplify parameter forwarding for objc_imlpement methods
- Add intrinsics.objc_instancetype to mimi Objective-C instancetype* returns
This facilitates returning the correct type on subclasses when calling mehtods
such as `alloc`, `init`, `retain`, etc.
- Refactor Objective-C class implementations generation so that hierarchies are properly initialized
- Better codegen for context passing with ivar-based autocontext
- Allow @superclass on imported objc-c objects
- Better codegen for block forwarding invoker, arguments are forwarded directly
This updates and reformats the doc file for the runtime package. The
list of things that need to be implemented for a compiler runtime to
work has been updated in accordance with recent changes to runtime
(notably `cstring16` and `string16` types and `#load_directory`). Some
copy-paste errors around string-comparison procedures have been fixed.
The file has been renamed to `doc.odin` as per convention, the comment
has been moved to the top of the package declaration and the comment is
now markdown-formatted.
Also wrote down a little map to maybe slightly help with understanding
navigation within package runtime's files and added a few more
explanations as to why that list of declarations exists and how to use
it.
The list of declarations has been detailed to some degree, explaining
under what conditions the declarations are required.
