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).
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).
The evil comment is not just "pragmas are bad, ok?", but switching between
advanced, extended and tradtitional modes when compiling truly is evil and
not guaranteed to work. However, I needed it to make building test cases
easier (it's mostly ok to go from advanced to extended or tradtional, but
going the other way will probably cause all sorts of fun).
In the process, opcode_init now copies the opcode table data rather than
modifying it.
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.
With temp types changing and temps being reused within the one instruction,
the def type is no longer usable for selecting the opcode. However, the
operand types are stable and more correct.
Nicely, the need for dag_gencode to recurse seems to have been removed.
At least for a simple case, correct code is generated :)
switch.r:49: case 1: *to = *from++;
003b loadbi.i *(from + 0), .tmp10
003c add.i from, .imm, from
003d storep.i .tmp10, *to
It doesn't make any difference yet, but that's because I need to add extra
edges indicating iter-node dependencies. However, the sort does seem to
work for its limited input.
While things are quite broken now (very incorrect code is being generated),
the dag is much easier to work with. The dag is now stored in an array of
nodes (the children pointers are still used for dagnode operands), and sets
are used for marking node parents, attached identifiers and (when done,
extra edges).
Instead of storing the generating statement in the dagnode, the generating
expression is stored in the daglabel. The daglabel's expression pointer is
updated each time the label is attached to a node. Now I know why debugging
optimized code can be... interesting.
It now seems to generate correct code for each node. However, node order is
still incorrect in places (foo++ is being generated as ++foo). quattest.r
actually executes and produces the right output :)
flow_analyze_statement uses the statement type to quickly determin which
operands are inputs and which are outputs. It takes (optional) sets for
used variables, defined variables and killed variables (only partially
working, but I don't actually use kill sets yet). It also takes an optional
array for storing the operands: index 0 is the output, 1-3 are the inputs.
flow_analyze_statement clears any given sets on entry.
Live variable analysis now uses the sets rather than individual vars. Much
cleaner code :).
Dags are completely broken.
The types are expression, assignment, pointer assignment (ie, write to a
dereferenced pointer), move (special case of pointer assignment), state,
function call/return, and flow control. With this classification, it will
be easier (less code:) to determine which operands are inputs and which are
outputs.
Surprisingly, I don't yet have to "throw one out", but things are still
problematic: rcall1 is getting two arguments, goto and return get lost,
rcall2 got an old temp rather than the value it was supposed to, but
progress :)
