qfcc now does local common subexpression elimination. It seems to work, but
is optional (default off): use -O to enable. Also, uninitialized variable
detection is finally back :)
The progs engine now has very basic valgrind-like functionality for
checking pointer accesses. Enable with pr_boundscheck 2
Temps aren't supported yet :P
The alias defs themselves aren't killed (still want any assignments to
occur) but rather, their nodes are. Also, edges to the alias defs' nodes
are added to the assigning node. Fixes structlive.r :)
I got fed up with using "int" types, but the members being "integer"
(hold-over from before the int rename).
Also, correct the names of those types and @va_list (error reporting was
chopping off part of the name).
MOVE (static move) and MOVEP to a pointer constant know exactly where their
data is going, so treat them similarly to assignments: save their
distination operands (the addressed def for MOVEP) and mark them as
defined.
The live var flow analysis doesn't check for aliases. Rather than changing
it to check for aliases (which might break uninitialized var analysis, as
it uses "use" from the live var analysis), make dag_remove_dead_vars do the
check. Fixes the misplaced text in the menus.
Nifty: if you pass a struct via reference to a function, and a field of
that struct may be both set and not set (eg, set only in an if statement),
gcc will report that field assuming that fields that are never set will be
set by the function (my interpretation).
* taniwha ponders the flow analysis for that

At the statement level, all pointer types are the same, so just return the
op obtained from the sub-expression when the low-level type of the alias
expression matches the low-level type of the type of type sub-expression
operand.
With this, the alias of a value code can be removed (I always thought it
was wrong), which is what broke calling obj_msgSend_super (type &.super
param lost the &).
Now I have to deal with pointer values in the optimizer :/
When an alais def (or aliased def) is used, any overlapping aliases that
have previously been assigned need to be marked as live, and edges to the
aliases added to the new node. However, when assigned to, live-forcing
needs to be turned off.
This fixes the lost assignments to .super.
This fixes the bogus temps for "*to = *from++;", but qfcc ices due to the
operand types being lost. It seems alias operands need to be resurrected,
if only for code output by dags.
I forgot to add func->num_statements :P. Fixes the weirdness where only
some alias temps were being (bogusly) detected as uninitialized. Now they
all are.
When the naive uninitialized variable detection finds a node with possible
uses of uninitialized variables, the statements in the node are scanned one
at a time checking each usage and removing uninitialized definitions as
appropriate. vectest.r now compiles without warnings. As an added bonus,
accurate line number information is reported for uninitialized variables.
Unfortunately, there is still a problem with uninitialized temps in
switch.r, but that might just be poor handling of temp op aliases.
Only definitions for the def used in the current statement (whether an
alias or not) are suitable for killing. Doing otherwise defeats the purpose
of this work :P
Fixes the false negatives found in a modified quattest.r (commented out the
"tq.s = 0;" line).
Nicely, the use sets from live_variable analysis can be used too, though
there are some problems with the naive implementation. For:
vector foo (float x, float y, float z)
{
vector v;
v.x = x;
v.y = y;
v.z = z;
return v;
}
qfcc thinks v is uninitialized, but if "if (x) return nil;" (or any other
basic-block splitter) is put just before the return v; qfcc correctly
detects that v is initialized. The reason is that the inits are in the same
basic block as the return, and thus aren't affecting the reaching
definitions, which are stored per-block.
The naive implementation should be good for a fast-cull before doing a
per-statement check.
The exit dummy block is setup to provide dummy uses of global variables to
the live variable analysis doesn't miss global variables. Much cleaner than
the previous code :) There may be some issues with aliases, though.
The entry dummy block is setup to provide dummy definitions of local
variables so the reaching definitions analysis can be used to detect
uninitialized variables (not implemented yet). Fake statement numbers
(func->num_statements + X) are used to represent the definitions. Local
variables (ie, not temp ops) use their offsets (ie, the offset range they
cover) for X. Temp ops use their flowvar number + the size of the
function's defspace for X. flow_kill_aliases() should take care of temp op
aliasing, while the use of the actual offsets spanned by the variable's def
should take care of any wild aliasing so structures and unions should
become a non-issue.
