With the need to handle aliasing in the optimizer, it has become apparent
that having the flow data attached to symbols is not nearly as useful as
having it attached to defs (which are views of the actual variables).
This also involves a bit of a cleanup of operand types: op_pointer and
op_alias are gone (this seems to greatly simplify the optimizer)
There is a bit of a problem with enums in switch statements, but this might
actually be a sign that something is not quite right in the switch code
(other than enums not being recognized as ints for jump table
optimization).
Turns out there was only one place to fix (for qc, anyway: I don't have
tests for qp yet). func-static now passes :)
Hmm, how to test for static var naming... (not implemented yet)
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.
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.
With this, alias defs become singletons based on the def they alias and the
type and offset of the alias. Thus, the removal of the free_def call in
emit.c.
alias_def now always creates an offset def (though the usual case has an
offset of 0). The if the alias escapes the bounds of the base def, an
internal error will be generated.
It really doesn't seem wise to allow the compiler to do so as it would
overwrite unrelated defs. The only time such a thing is valid is the return
statement (silly vm design), and that's read-only.
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).
qfcc isn't meant to be long running, so I'm not super worried about memory
usage, but definitely lost memory blocks when compiling just a single
function seems a tad sloppy.
It doesn't quite work yet, but...
It has proven necessary to know what type .return has at any point in the
function. The segfault in ctf is caused by the return statement added to
the end of the void function messing with the expr pointer stored in the
daglabel for .return. While this is actually by design (though the
statement really should have a valid expr pointer rather than), it actually
highlights a bigger problem: there's no stable knowledge of the current
type of .return. This is not a problem in expression statements as the
dagnodes for expression statements store the desired types of all operands.
However, when assigning from .return to attached variables in a leaf node,
the type of .return is not stored anywhere but the expression last
accessing .return.
Now information like dags or live variables are dumped separately, and the
live variable information replaces the flow node in the diagram (like dags
have recently).
They really should have been in statements.[ch] in the first place
(actually, they sort of were: is_goto etc, so some redundant code has been
removed, too).
Native versions of qfcc and pak are now built automatically, and the
android toolchain now defaults to a more sensible place. Also, the separate
pkg-config replacement is no longer necessary.
