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The vc project files have been removed since those versions are way out
of date and quakeforge is pretty much dependent on gcc now anyway.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 fixes the segfault when loading the menu progs. I had forgotten
that the menu code doesn't use PR_LoadProgs (I don't remember why.
Obsolete reason?).
When I ported SEB to python, I discovered that I apparently didn't
really understand the paper's description of the end condition and the
usage of the affine and convex sets for center testing. This cleans up
the test and makes SEB more correct for the cases that have less than 4
supporting points (especially when there are less than 4 points total).
Returning a string was a bad idea as it makes str_str difficult to use
with str_mid. (actually, iirc, it was the only reason I moved all
strings into progs memory... hmm).
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.
In testing variable fw/precision in PR_Sprintf, I got a nasty reminder
of the limitations of the current progs ABI: passing @args to another QC
function does not work because the args list gets trampled but the
called function's locals. Thus, the need for a va_copy. It's not quite
the same as C's as it returns the destination args instead of copying
like memcpy, but it does copy the list from the source args to a
temporary buffer that is freed when the calling function returns.
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.
This allows for the four combinations of shift and control. Not
bothering with alt because alt-f4 closes my xterm (bbkeys from the looks
of it: it grabs a bunch of Mod1-* keys).
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.
This returns the character (as an int) at the index. Equivalent to
string[index], but qc code doesn't have char-level access and not having
it means that strings can internally change to wchar without too much
fuss (maybe).
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 causes the block to be freed when the forward: handler returns
(assuming it's not yet another builtin). This is necessary so calling a
lot of forwarded messages in a loop doesn't leak memory (though it will
get freed eventually).
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.
With this, object's implementing forward:: seem to accept the message
well, including receiving all the original args (not quite sure how to
deal with them in ruamoko code just yet, though).
PR_AllocTempBlock() works the same way as PR_SetTempString(), except
that it takes a size parameter and always allocates (never tries to
merge). This is, in a way, abusing the string system, but I needed a way
to allocate a block of progs memory that would be automatically freed
when the current frame ended. The biggest abuse is the need to cast away
the const of PR_GetString()'s return value.
libr supplies an __obj_forward definition that links to a builtin, but
as it is the only def in its object file, it is readily replaceable by
an alternative Ruamoko implementation.
The builtin version currently simply errors out (rather facetiously),
but only as a stub to allow progs to load.
This should speed up ruamoko code somewhat as hash table lookups have
been replaced with direct array indexing. As a bonus, support for
message forwarding has been added (though not tested).
Move the semi-permanent resource initialisation into the module init and
the cleanup of those resources into cleanup. Makes actual runtime init
much easier to read.
Rather than relying on progs code version, use the string to determine
whether PR_Sprintf should behave as if floats have been promoted through
... I imagine I'll get to the rest of the server code at some stage.
With these two changes, nq-x11 works again (teleporters were the
symptom).
This is one step closer to implementing conformsToProtocol. However,
protocols are not yet initialized correctly: they are not registered,
nor are their selectors.
While the static initializer list pointer was not written previously,
the module struct always came immediately after the symbols struct, and
the module version has so far always been 0. Thus, the list pointer is
correctly 0 for older progs and there's no need for a version bump.
With this, the VA is very close to being safe to use in a threaded
environment (so long as each VM is used by only one thread). Just the
debug file hash and source paths to sort out.
Other than consistency with printf(), I'm not sure why we went with the
printed size as the return value; returning the resultant strings makes
much more sense as dsprintf() (etc) can then be used as a safe va()
Other than its blocking of access to certain files, it really wasn't
that useful compared to the functions in qfs, and pointless with access
to qfs anyway.
The progs execution code will call a breakpoint handler just before
executing an instruction with the flag set. This means there's no need
for the breakpoint handler to mess with execution state or even the
instruction in order to continue past the breakpoint.
The flag being set in a progs file is invalid.
For technical reasons (programmer laziness), qfcc does not fix up local
def type encodings when writing the debug symbols file (type encoding
location not readily accessible).
The debug subsystem now uses the resources system to ensure it cleans
up, and its data is now semi-private. Unfortunately, PR_LoadDebug had to
remain public for qfprogs because using PR_RunLoadFuncs would cause
builtin resolution to complain.
It is now set to 0 when progs are loaded and every time
PR_ExecuteProgram() returns. This takes care of the default case, but
when setting parameters, pr_argc needs to be set correctly in case a
vararg function is called.
PR_SaveParams() is required for implementing the +initialize diversion
used by Objective-QuakeC because builtins do not have local def spaces
(of course, a normal stack calling convention would help). However, it
is entirely possible for a call to +initialize to trigger another call
to +initialize, thus the need for stacking parameter stashes. As a
bonus, this implementation cleans up some fields in progs_t.
The initial code was pretty much a port of the code in the editor I
wrote 25 years ago. Either I didn't think of the optimization back then,
or I tried to implement it, failed, and figured it wasn't worth it
(despite using it on a 386dx33). However, I noticed it now and it was
easy enough to get working, and it's always good to not do something
that's not needed.
When the substring is the tail of the supplied string, return a
"pointer" to within the supplied string rather than a new "return"
string. This means that tail-end substrings of string constants are
themselves constants.
The engine now requires non-v6 progs to store the log2 alignment for the
param struct in .param_alignment.
PR_EnterFunction is clearer and possibly more efficient.
Only as scalars, I still need to think about what to do for vectors and
quaternions due to param size issues. Also, doubles are not yet
guaranteed to be correctly aligned.
It turned out I needed access to the physical device from a buffer
object, so rather than storing the vulkan logical device directly in
buffer (and other) objects, store the qfv logical device.
The better accuracy is for specific cases (90 degree rotations around a
main axis: the matrix element for that axis is now 1 instead of
0.99999994). The speedup comes from doing fewer additions (multiply
seems to be faster than add for fp, at least in this situation).
I added Sys_RegisterShutdown years ago and never really did anything
with it: now any system that needs to be shutdown can ensure it gets
shutdown on program exit, and in the correct order (ie, reverse to init
order).
