Labels can be shared between multiple flow-control instructions, so use the
label's used counter to determine when to remove the label. This was
causing problems with the jump threading.
The common cause seems to be casting a cast (very common, and I'm not sure
just realiasing the expression would be right). It does't cause any harm
(particularly, it doesn't trigger alias def chains), so I won't worry about
it.
The actual bug might still be elsewhere, but at least now I know the alias
chains were coming from accessing .return and .param_N, which are unions
(not directly usable by the progs engine). Emitting a reference to a union
(or struct) would create an alias def, but an alias expression was created
in the expression tree to simplify return/param access. The double layer
(sometimes 3 or 4) alias isn't really neaded, so rather than layering the
aliases, just re-alias the alaised def.
It is inteded for flagging buggy conditions in the compiler, particularly
after having fixed the original bug (in case something comes back from the
dead).
v6 progs expects .zero to be only 1 word. The code actually tried to keep
vector out of .zero, but it seems I'd rearranged the structure defintion
without updating the code that kills the vector field. Problem spotted by
divVerent.
Despair has things locked down such that running qfcc during a build fails
due to lack of read access to /usr/local/lib. This is actually a good
thing as accidentally hitting old includes/libs (when a file gets deleted
in the tree) hides bugs. Thus, --no-default-paths to turn off default
search paths.
The special token __INFINITY__, like __FILE__ and friends, will expand to
a floating-point expression containing a value the C compiler considers
infinite. Obviously, this assumes that the system has relatively modern
float hardware -- but if it doesn't, having Ruamoko be able to represent
float infinity is the least of your problems. :)
Initializing a field variable to another field will set the new field to
point to the same location. No type checking is done.
eg:
.SEL thinkMethod = think;
