It is syntactic sugar for if (!(foo)), but is useful for avoiding
inconsistencies between such things as if (string) and if (!string), even
though qcc can't parse if not (string). It also makes for easier to read
code when the logic in the condition is complex.
It turns out this is required for compatibility with qcc (and C, really).
Once string to boolean conversions are sorted out completely (not that
simple as qcc is inconsistent with if (string) vs if (!string)), Qgets can
be implemented :)
It looks like I had forgotten that the compare function is supposed to
return true/false (unlike memcmp's sorting ability). Also, avoid the
pointers in the value struct as they can change without notice.
Using enums in switches now works nicely, including warnings for unused
enum values.
Either I had gotten confused while writing the code and mixed up line and
offset, or I had changed offset to line at one stage but missed a place.
This fixes the segfault when compiling chewed-alias.r and return-ivar.r
Rather than prefixing free_ to the supplied name, suffix _freelist to the
supplied name. The biggest advantage of this is it allows the free-list to
be a structure member. It also cleans up the name-space a little.
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.
MOVEP's opc itself is always known and used, whether it's a constant
pointer or variable doesn't matter. This fixes the lost pointer calculation
for va_list.list[j] = object_from_plist (item);
Dead nodes are those that generate unused values (unassigned leaf nodes,
expressions or destinationless move(p) nodes). The revoval is done by the
flow analysis code (via the dags code) so that any pre and post removal
flow analysis and manipulation may be done (eg, available expressions).
assign_expr mangles the destination expression for dereferenced
assignments into something that is invalid as an lvalue, so simply use
new_binary_expr with the same opcode.
It turns out expression trees are (mostly?) valid DAGs, so all edges being
constrained works, though the graphs get a little tall (but easier to read).
This fixes the infinite loop in if ((x = self.heat && x))
Really, I think I need to revisit the whole expression tree code. It's
proving to be rather fragile.
The source of the assignment is used as the value to test, and the
assignment itself is inserted into the boolean expressions's block. This
fixes the inernal error for "if ((x = 0))".
Normally, it will happen only as a follow-on error, but I can think of a
way to force it without other errors, so treating it as an internal error
is a bit harsh.
