Commit 76b3bedb72 broke more than just the
swap test, but at least I know I need to get an edge in the dag.
Currently, the following code is generated: return and add are reversed.
../tools/qfcc/test/return-postop.r:8: return counter++;
0001 store.i counter, .tmp0
0002 return .tmp0
0003 add.i .tmp0, (1), counter
However, I don't want to deal with it right now, so it's marked XFAIL.
Attempting to add ev_ushort caused ptraliasenc to break, but that was
because it was already broken: I had implemented the scan of the xdef
table incorrectly, thus adding only 1 ev type resulted in the walked
pointer being out of phase with its data due to it first passing over
the type encodings (which is why adding long and ulong didn't cause any
obvious trouble).
And other related fields so integer is now int (and uinteger is uint). I
really don't know why I went with integer in the first place, but this
will make using macros easier for dealing with types.
They are both gone, and pr_pointer_t is now pr_ptr_t (pointer may be a
little clearer than ptr, but ptr is consistent with things like intptr,
and keeps the type name short).
I don't know why they were ever signed (oversight at id and just
propagated?). Anyway, this resulted in "unsigned" spreading a bit, but
all to reasonable places.
Forgetting to invoke [super dealloc] in a derived class's -dealloc
method has caused me to waste far too much time chasing down the
resulting memory leaks and crashes. This is actually the main focus of
issue #24, but I want to take care of multiple paths before I consider
the issue to be done.
However, as a bonus, four cases were found :)
I have gotten tired of chasing memory leaks caused by me forgetting to
add [super dealloc] to my dealloc methods, so getting qfcc to chew me
out when I do seems to be a good idea (having such a warning would have
saved me many hours, just as missing return warnings have).
When moving an identifier label from one node to another, the first node
must be evaluated before the second node, which the edge guarantees.
However, code for swapping two variables
t = a; a = b; b = t;
creates a dependency cycle. The solution is to create a new leaf node
for the source operand of the assignment. This fixes the swap.r test
without pessimizing postop code.
This takes care of the core problem in #3, but there is still room for
improvement in that the load/store can be combined into a move.
The server edict arrays are now stored outside of progs memory, only the
entity data itself (ie data accessible to progs via ent.fld) is stored in
progs memory. Many of the changes were due to code accessing edicts and
entity fields directly rather than through the provided macros.
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).
They worked well if there was only one source file in the test, but
failed if there were two or more. While only typelinker needed the
enhanced macros, I got them all because I generally copy the nearest
block when adding a new test thus it's best if they're all "correct".
I'm not sure if it's due more to doubles or unions, but the bug was
found via double. It seems the dags code generator doesn't see that the
assignment to the union's double field kills the two int fields.
The test passes when NOT optimizing.
This is a bit of a weird one because it's a combination of the aliasing
code and mixing C prototypes with QuakeC function definitions, and the
function type rebuilding in qc-parse.y not being very "consistent" in
its abuse of the type system.
I noticed that pointer math is currently incorrect in qfcc, but it would
be nice for fixing it to not break anonstruct since it is testing
something else.
This bug drove me nuts for several hours until I figured out what was
going on.
The assignment sub-tree is being generated, then lost. It works for
simple assignments because a = b = c -> (= a (= b c)), but for complex
assignments (those that require move or memset), a = b = c -> (b = c) (a
= c) but nothing points to (b = c). The cause is using binary
expressions to store assignments.
It proved to be too fragile in its current implementation. It broke
pointers to incomplete structs and switch enum checking, and getting it
to work for other things was overly invasive. I still want the encoding,
but need to come up with something more robust.a
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.
This fixed the uninitialized temp warning in HUD.r. The problem was
caused by the flow analyzer not being able to detect that the struct
temp was being initialized by the move statement due to the address of
the temp being in a pointer temp. While it would be good to use a
constant pointer for the address of the struct temp or improving the
flow analyzer to track actual data, avoiding the temp in the first place
results in nicer code as it removes a move statement.
It turns out the enumerator type and enum type wind up with different
instances of the same type (due to the way type chaining works). This
results in infinite recursion in assign_expr and check_types_compatible.
Not sure just what version of automake broke things, but I do remember
having a bad time getting the dependencies to work in the first place.
At least now they should be more reliable (until automake changes
things).
After messing with SIMD stuff for a little, I think I now understand why
the industry went with xyzw instead of the mathematical wxyz. Anyway, this
will make for less pain in the future (assuming I got everything).
If the kahan triangle area method breaks, I did something wrong with qfcc's
handling of parentheses (ie, floating point math is not truly associative).
This is a nice feature found in fteqcc (also a bit of a challenge from
Spike). Getting bison to accept the new expression required rewriting the
state expression grammar, so this is mostly for the state expression. A
test to ensure the state expression doesn't break is included.
It seems dag_set_live_vars still served a purpose after all, but I don't
feel like bringing it as I'd rather implement its param handing in
dagnode_set_edges. I've now got a test case for it, though the test
currently causes the VM to segfault (even with pr_boundscheck 2!).
If the final block ends in a conditional statement, appending return to the
block will hide the conditional statement from the flow analyzer. This may
cause the conditional statement's destination node be become unreachable
according to the analyzer and thus eliminated. The label for the branch
then loses its target sblock and thus the code generator will produce a
zero-distance jump resulting in an infinite loop.
Thus, if the final block ends in a conditional statement (or, for
completeness, a call statement), append a new empty block before adding the
return statement.
It turns out they're not getting allocated properly (they're put in the
function's locals defspace rather than near data), but fixing it proved a
little more problematic than expected, so the test is marked as XFAIL for
now to remind me to fix it.
