The division and remainder operations were lowered directly to LLVM IR.
This is wrong however because the Go specification defines exactly what
happens on a divide by zero or signed integer overflow and LLVM IR
itself treats those cases as undefined behavior. Therefore, this commit
implements divide by zero and signed integer overflow according to the
Go specification.
This does have an impact on the generated code, but it is surprisingly
small. I've used the drivers repo to test the code before and after, and
to my surprise most driver smoke tests are not changed at all. Those
that are, have only a small increase in code size. At the same time,
this change makes TinyGo more compliant to the Go specification.
Before this change, the compiler could panic with the following message:
panic: 20 not an Int
That of course doesn't make much sense. But it apparently is expected
behavior, see https://github.com/golang/go/issues/43165 for details.
This commit fixes this issue by converting the constant to an integer if
needed.
Previously, the compiler used LLVM's shift instructions directly, which have UB whenever the shifts are large or negative.
This commit adds runtime checks for negative shifts, and handles oversized shifts.
