This is for adding methods to classes and protocols via their interface,
not for adding methods by adding protocols (they still get copied).
Slightly more memory efficient.
Duplicate methods in an interface (especially across protocols and
between protocols and the interface) are both harmless and even to be
expected. They certainly should not cause the compiler to demand
duplicate method implementations :)
This is actually a double issue: when a class implementing a protocol
used the protocol in @protocol(), not only would the protocol get
emitted as part of the class data specifying that the class conforms to
the protocol, a second instance would be emitted again when @protocol()
was used. On top of that, only the instance referenced by @protocol()
would be initialized. Now, both class emission and @protocol() get their
protocol def from the same place and thus only one, properly
initialized, protocol instance is emitted.
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).
This far better reflects the actual meaning. It is very likely that
ty_none is a holdover from long before there was full type encoding and
it meant that the union in qfcc's type_t had no data. This is still
true for basic types, but only if not a function, field or pointer type.
If the type was function, field or pointer, it was not true, so it was
misnamed pretty much from the start.
While scan-build wasn't what I was looking for, it has proven useful
anyway: many of the sizeof errors were just noise, but a few were actual
bugs (allocating too much or too little memory).
type_obj_class is no longer a class, so its ivars are not stored in
type_obj_class.t.class->ivars but rather type_obj_class.t.symtab.
This fixes the segfault Spirit and Randy were experiencing.
In passing, correct the unneeded emission of meta class ivars for non-root
classes. This should make for much smaller progs that use classes.
But reset current_symtab to its prior value when done. This fixes a
segfault caused by initializing the class system while parsing a struct
(eg, one of the members is of type id).
type_id is implemented as a pointer to "struct obj_object" (ie, not really
a class), so the correct check is to ensure the type is:
1 a pointer
2 to a struct
3 using the same symbol table as type_obj_object
This is needed to allow compile-time protocol conformance checks, though
nothing along those lines has been implemented yet.
id has been changed from TYPE to OBJECT, required to allow id <proto> to be
parsed. OBJECT uses symbol, allowing id to be redefined once suitable work
has been done on the parser.
Also remove the extern for current_storage as it belongs in shared.h.
I'm not satisfied with the documentation for initialize_def, but it will do
for now. I probably have to rewrite the thing as it's a bit of a beast.
With the intoduction of the statement type enum came a prefix clash. As
"st" makes sense for "statement type", I decided that "storage class"
should be "sc". Although there haven't been any problems as of yet, I
decided it would be a good idea to clean up the clash now. It also helps
avoid confusion (I was a bit surprised after working with st_assign etc to
be reminded of st_extern etc).
First, the class def needed to be created before the class type, then the
def space indices had to be set early, otherwise the relocs wound up with
space 0 instead of the correct space.
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.
As id and Class do not point to real objects as such, trying to get the
class from their types doesn't work, so instead send the message to a
"null" class that skips the method checks.
Now the classes are built "properly" (using the same tools as the parser
itself), and the structs (obj_object, obj_class and obj_protocol) are built
separately, but using the class ivars.
Even just before, type_obj_object, type_obj_class and type_obj_protocol
were a bit bogus (still are), but now the arrays used to list their ivars
are correct. I plan to create the above mentioned types using
class_to_struct to do it properly.
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 gnu bison and flex are required anyway, no harm in using their api
prefix options. Now, qfcc can compile both QC/Ruamoko and Pascal files
(Pascal is (currently?) NOT supported in progs.src mode), selecting the
language based on the extension: .r, .qc and .c select QC/Ruamoko, .pas and
.p select Pascal, while anything else is treated as an object file (as
before).
