It really should be impossible, but I'm not sure where the bug is yet
(though there are uninitialized variables that are false positives that
most definitely are initialized, might be related)
Pointing to aliases of the var causes all sorts of problems, but this time
it was causing the uninitialized variable detector to miss certain
parameters.
It is necessary to know if a def is a function parameter so it can be
treated as initialized by the flow analyzer. The support for the flag in
object files is, at this stage, purely for debugging purposes.
The structvar2 = structvar1 is implemented as a move expresion, which
address_expr didn't like. Return the address of the source. For indirect
move expressions, this is just the source expression itself.
Constant/label nodes should never be killed because they can (in theory)
never change. While constants /can/ change in the Quake VM, it's not worth
worrying about as there would be much more important things to worry about
(like 2+2 not giving 4).
Due to the hoops one would have to jump through, it is assumed that a
pointer or an offset from that pointer will never overwrite the pointer.
Having the source operand of a pointer assignment available to later
instrctions can make for more efficient code as the value does not need to
be dereferenced later. For this purpose, pointer dereference dag nodes now
store the source operand as their value, and dagnode_match will match x=a.b
with *(a+b)=y so long as both a and b are the same in both nodes. x and y
are irrelevant to the match. The resulting code will be the equivalent of:
*(a+b) = y;
x = y;
This necessitated disabling the id2 padding, but it's only commented out
incase there's more growth. Now the (compiler) error in -addObjectNoRetain
is caught ealier.
.return and .param_N are not classed as global variables for data flow
analysis. .return is taken care of by return statements, and .param_N by
call statements.
With this, the menus work up to attempting to load the menu plist.
Something is corrupting zmalloc's blocks.
Accessing the final statement of an sblock via tail doesn't work in an
empty sblock because tail points to sblock->statements and thus the cast is
invalid. This bug has be lurking for a long time, but for some reason the
cse stuff tickled it (thankfully!!!).
Function calls need to ensure .param_N actually get assigned, and so the
params must be seen as live by the dead variable removal code. However, it
is undesirable to modify the live vars data of the flow node, so make a
local copy.
With temp types changing and temps being reused within the one instruction,
the def type is no longer usable for selecting the opcode. However, the
operand types are stable and more correct.
The main void defs are .return and .param_N. If the source operand is void,
use the destination operand's type to alias the source operand rather than
the source operand's type to alias the destination's operand (the usual
case).
The dags code isn't the only place that creates temporary variables, so
count them as they go into a statement rather than when they're created.
This fixes the temp underflows.
Nicely, the need for dag_gencode to recurse seems to have been removed.
At least for a simple case, correct code is generated :)
switch.r:49: case 1: *to = *from++;
003b loadbi.i *(from + 0), .tmp10
003c add.i from, .imm, from
003d storep.i .tmp10, *to
A node that writes to a var must be evaluated after any node that reads
that var, so for any node reading var, add that node to the edges of the
node currently associated with the var (unless the node is a child of the
node reading the var).
It doesn't make any difference yet, but that's because I need to add extra
edges indicating iter-node dependencies. However, the sort does seem to
work for its limited input.
