All simple type checks are now done using is_* helper functions. This
will help hide the implementation details of the type system from the
rest of the compiler (especially the changes needed for type aliasing).
Unlike gcc, qfcc requires foo to be defined, not just declared (I
suspect this is a bug in gcc, or even the ObjC spec), because allowing
forward declarations causes an empty (no methods) protocol to be
emitted, and then when the protocol is actually defined, one with
methods, resulting in two different versions of the same protocol, which
comments in the gnu objc runtime specifically state is a problem but is
not checked because it "never happens in practice" (found while
investigating gcc's behavior with @protocol and just what some of the
comments about static instance lists meant).
All internal structs now have "proper" names, and fit the naming convention
(eg, obj_module (like objective-c's types, but obj instead of objc). Some
redundant types got removed (holdovers from before proper struct tag
handling).
Also, it has proven to be unnecessary to build internal classes, so
make_class and make_class_struct are gone, too.
Type names are cleaned up, as is the creation. Also, the class pointer in
the type encoding now gets emitted. However, Still need to actually create
_OBJ_CLASS_Class and fix the type encoding reloc handling in the linker.
Since there is now a proper symbol table, defs are now just references to
memory locations and the symbol table takes care of duplicates.
Also, start using far data for ObjQC structures.
The qfo functions have been stubbed out until I figure out what to do with
object files in the new scheme.
That which isn't rewritten is horribly broken. However, this does include a
nice mechanism for building QC structs for emitting data.
emit.c has been gutted in the spirit of "throw one away".
There is much work to be done to get even variables emitted, let alone
code. Things should be a little more fun from here on.
Use "@reference ClassName;" or "@reference ClassName(CategoryName);" to
create a refence to the class or category, forcing the defining object file
to be linked into the program when the object file is part of a library.
start working on the linker.
class.[ch]:
redo class defs so the pointer works (needs relocs still)
obj_file.h:
add prototype for read_obj_file, QFO_* data access macros and include
pr_debug.h
type.[ch]:
separate type system initialisation and recording of the standard types
so find_type works properly in multiple compilation
def.c:
don't mark static defs as initialized
expr.c:
proper class pointer def stuff
immediate.c:
clean out dead vars/code
obj_file.c:
allocate space for the line info and bail if the file can't be opened.
qfcc.c:
register the standard types for each compile pass and start linking the
files
