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The vc project files have been removed since those versions are way out
of date and quakeforge is pretty much dependent on gcc now anyway.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).
This allows a debugger to do any symbol lookups and other preparations
between loading progs and the first code execution. .ctors are called as
per normal if debug_handler is not set.
This is the first step in reworking PR_Sprintf to use a state machine.
The goal is to make it more robust against errors and easier to extend
(eg, * width and precision).
And rename prd_exit to prd_terminate (the idea is the host will
terminate the VM). This makes it possible for the debugger to pause the
VM before any code, even a builtin function, is executed. Breaks the
debugger source window, but only because it's not updating on file
change (I think).
I decided I want events for VM enter/exit but enter needs to somehow
pass the function which will be executed (even if a builtin). A generic
void * param seemed the best idea, which meant the error string could be
passed via the param instead of a "global" string in the progs struct.
They take a pointer to a free-list used for hashlinks so the hashlink
pools can be per-thread. However, hash tables that are not updated are
always thread-safe, so this affects only updates. progs_t has been set
up such that it is easy for multiple progs within one thread can share
hashlinks.
While there was a breakpoint hook, it was for only breakpoints and more
was needed. Now there's a generic hook that is called for tracing,
breakpoints, watch points, runtime errors and VM errors, with the
"event" type passed as the first parameter and a data pointer in the
second.
The idea is to find th def that contains the address. Had to write my
own bsearch (well... lifted from wikipedia) because libc's is exact. The
defs are assumed to be sorted (which qfcc now ensures when it writes
progs and sym files).
Type encodings are used whenever they are available. For now, if they
are not, then everything is treated as void (which prints <void>, not
very useful). Most return statements and references to .return are now
very readable (excluding structs), and only params going through "..."
are a messy union.
The memset instructions now match the move* instructions other than the
first operand (always int). Probably breaks much, but fixed in next few
commits.
If a temp string is found in the return slot, PR_FreeTempStrings won't
delete the string. However, PR_PopFrame was blindly stomping on the
possibly surviving temp string with the push strings, which would cause
a leak.
This "pushes" a temp string onto the callee's stack frame after removing
it from the caller's stack frame. This is so builtins can pass
auto-freed memory to called progs code. No checking is done, but mayhem
is likely to ensue if a string is pushed that was allocated in an
earlier frame.
