This eases type unaliasing on functions a little.
Still more to to go, but this fixes a really hair-pulling bug: linux's
heap randomiser was making the typedef test fail randomly whenever
typedef.qfo was compiled.
When a type is aliased, the alias has two type chains: the simple type
chain with all other aliases stripped, and the full type chain. There
are still plenty of bugs in it, but having the clean type chain takes
care of the major issue that was in the previous attempt as only the
head of the type-chain needs to be skipped for type comparison.
Most of the bugs are in finding the locations where the head needs to be
skipped.
All simple type checks are now done using is_* helper functions. This
will help hide the implementation details of the type system from the
rest of the compiler (especially the changes needed for type aliasing).
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.
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
typedef is meant to create a simple renaming of a potentially complex
type, not create a new type. Keeping the parameter type alias info makes
the types effectively different when it comes to overloaded function
resolution, which is quite contrary to the goal. Does expose some
breakage elsewhere, though.
All functions are stored in the overload functions table, even those
that are never explicitly overloaded, but only explicitly overloaded
functions (those with @overload) use the type-qualified naming.
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.
void foo (int); is fine for a prototype (or, presumably, a qc function
variable), but not for an actual function body. This fixes the segmentation
fault when the parameter name is omitted.
Also move the ALLOC/FREE macros from qfcc.h to QF/alloc.h (needed to for
set.c).
Both modules are more generally useful than just for qfcc (eg, set
builtins for ruamoko).
Simply "backed" and "virutal". Backed spaces have memory allocated to them
while virtual spaces do not. Virtual spaces are intended for local
variables and entity fields.
Also remove the extern for current_storage as it belongs in shared.h.
I'm not satisfied with the documentation for initialize_def, but it will do
for now. I probably have to rewrite the thing as it's a bit of a beast.
With the intoduction of the statement type enum came a prefix clash. As
"st" makes sense for "statement type", I decided that "storage class"
should be "sc". Although there haven't been any problems as of yet, I
decided it would be a good idea to clean up the clash now. It also helps
avoid confusion (I was a bit surprised after working with st_assign etc to
be reminded of st_extern etc).
It is necessary to know if a def is a function parameter so it can be
treated as initialized by the flow analyzer. The support for the flag in
object files is, at this stage, purely for debugging purposes.
.return and .param_N are not classed as global variables for data flow
analysis. .return is taken care of by return statements, and .param_N by
call statements.
With this, the menus work up to attempting to load the menu plist.
Something is corrupting zmalloc's blocks.
First, it turns out using daglabels wasn't such a workable plan (due to
labels being flushed every sblock). Instead, flowvars are used. Each actual
variable (whether normal or temp) has a pointer to the flowvar attached to
that variable.
For each variable, the statements that use or define the variable are
recorded in the appropriate set attached to each (flow)variable.
The flow graph nodes are now properly separated from the graph, and edge
information is stored in the graph struct. This actually made for much
cleaner code (partly thanks to the use of sets and set iterators).
Flow graph reduction has been (temporarily) ripped out as the entire
approach was wrong. There was also a bug in that I didn't really understand
the dragon book about selecting nodes and thus messed things up. The
depth-first search tree "fixed" the problem, but was really the wrong
solution (sledge hammer :P).
Also, now that I understand that dot's directed graphs must be acyclic, I
now have much better control over the graphs (back edges need to be
flipped).
They're now dot_sblock.c and print_sblock. The new names both better
reflect their purpose and free up "flow" for outputting the real flow
analysis graphs.
Much of the data recently added to sblock_t has been moved to flownode_t.
No graph reduction is carried out yet, but the initial (innermost level)
graph has been built.
Freeing then re-allocating a def to change its storage from external is
really not the right way to do it, but for now this fixes the loss of the
relocs. With this, the menus seem to work :)
The space is meaningless for op_* relocations as they are always in the
code space, but def_* relocations need to know which space holds the
location to be adjusted.
The first function seems to work fine, but there's a problems with the
scope of params causing params to get their knickers in a twist (tangled
linked list).
Since there is now a proper symbol table, defs are now just references to
memory locations and the symbol table takes care of duplicates.
Also, start using far data for ObjQC structures.
The qfo functions have been stubbed out until I figure out what to do with
object files in the new scheme.
That which isn't rewritten is horribly broken. However, this does include a
nice mechanism for building QC structs for emitting data.
emit.c has been gutted in the spirit of "throw one away".
There is much work to be done to get even variables emitted, let alone
code. Things should be a little more fun from here on.
Don't use the true void return in traditional mode.
Prefer the true void return over "done" at the end of functions.
Don't emit the above if the last emitted statement is a return and there is
no label at the end of the function.
