This is part of the work for #26 (Record resource pointer with builtin
function data). Currently, the data pointer gets as far as the
per-instance VM function table (I don't feel like tackling the job of
converting all the builtin functions tonight). All the builtin modules
that register a resources data block pass that block on to
PR_RegisterBuiltins.
This will make it possible for the engine to set up their parameter
pointers when running Ruamoko progs. At this stage, it doesn't matter
*too* much, except for varargs functions, because no builtin yet takes
anything larger than a float quaternion, but it will be critical when
double or long vec3 and vec4 values are passed.
Storing a variable into a dereference pointer (*p = x) is not marking
the variable as used (due to a mistake while converting to Ruamoko
statement format) resulting in assignments to that variable being
dropped due to it being a dead assignment as the assignment to the
variable and the storing need to be in separate basic blocks (thus the
call in the test, though an if would have worked, I think) for the bug
to trigger.
There was an out-by-one where attempting to run a program with only one
argument would result in the argument not being passed to the program
(two worked). This is actually the source of the error fixed in
9347e4f901 because test-harness.c was the
basis for qwaq's main.c
The means that the actual call expression is not in the statement lint
of the enclosing block expression, but just its result, whether the call
is void or not. This actually simplifies several things, but most
importantly will make Ruamoko calls easier to implement.
The test is because I had some trouble with double-calls, and is how I
found the return-postop issue :P
Commit 76b3bedb72 broke more than just the
swap test, but at least I know I need to get an edge in the dag.
Currently, the following code is generated: return and add are reversed.
../tools/qfcc/test/return-postop.r:8: return counter++;
0001 store.i counter, .tmp0
0002 return .tmp0
0003 add.i .tmp0, (1), counter
However, I don't want to deal with it right now, so it's marked XFAIL.
Attempting to add ev_ushort caused ptraliasenc to break, but that was
because it was already broken: I had implemented the scan of the xdef
table incorrectly, thus adding only 1 ev type resulted in the walked
pointer being out of phase with its data due to it first passing over
the type encodings (which is why adding long and ulong didn't cause any
obvious trouble).
And other related fields so integer is now int (and uinteger is uint). I
really don't know why I went with integer in the first place, but this
will make using macros easier for dealing with types.
They are both gone, and pr_pointer_t is now pr_ptr_t (pointer may be a
little clearer than ptr, but ptr is consistent with things like intptr,
and keeps the type name short).
I don't know why they were ever signed (oversight at id and just
propagated?). Anyway, this resulted in "unsigned" spreading a bit, but
all to reasonable places.
Forgetting to invoke [super dealloc] in a derived class's -dealloc
method has caused me to waste far too much time chasing down the
resulting memory leaks and crashes. This is actually the main focus of
issue #24, but I want to take care of multiple paths before I consider
the issue to be done.
However, as a bonus, four cases were found :)
I have gotten tired of chasing memory leaks caused by me forgetting to
add [super dealloc] to my dealloc methods, so getting qfcc to chew me
out when I do seems to be a good idea (having such a warning would have
saved me many hours, just as missing return warnings have).
When moving an identifier label from one node to another, the first node
must be evaluated before the second node, which the edge guarantees.
However, code for swapping two variables
t = a; a = b; b = t;
creates a dependency cycle. The solution is to create a new leaf node
for the source operand of the assignment. This fixes the swap.r test
without pessimizing postop code.
This takes care of the core problem in #3, but there is still room for
improvement in that the load/store can be combined into a move.
The server edict arrays are now stored outside of progs memory, only the
entity data itself (ie data accessible to progs via ent.fld) is stored in
progs memory. Many of the changes were due to code accessing edicts and
entity fields directly rather than through the provided macros.
There's still some cleanup to do, but everything seems to be working
nicely: `make -j` works, `make distcheck` passes. There is probably
plenty of bitrot in the package directories (RPM, debian), though.
The vc project files have been removed since those versions are way out
of date and quakeforge is pretty much dependent on gcc now anyway.
Most of the old Makefile.am files are now Makemodule.am. This should
allow for new Makefile.am files that allow local building (to be added
on an as-needed bases). The current remaining Makefile.am files are for
standalone sub-projects.a
The installable bins are currently built in the top-level build
directory. This may change if the clutter gets to be too much.
While this does make a noticeable difference in build times, the main
reason for the switch was to take care of the growing dependency issues:
now it's possible to build tools for code generation (eg, using qfcc and
ruamoko programs for code-gen).
They worked well if there was only one source file in the test, but
failed if there were two or more. While only typelinker needed the
enhanced macros, I got them all because I generally copy the nearest
block when adding a new test thus it's best if they're all "correct".
I'm not sure if it's due more to doubles or unions, but the bug was
found via double. It seems the dags code generator doesn't see that the
assignment to the union's double field kills the two int fields.
The test passes when NOT optimizing.
This is a bit of a weird one because it's a combination of the aliasing
code and mixing C prototypes with QuakeC function definitions, and the
function type rebuilding in qc-parse.y not being very "consistent" in
its abuse of the type system.
