Thanks to the use/def/kill lists attached to statements for pseudo-ops,
it turned out to be a lot easier to implement flow analysis (and thus
dags processing) than I expected. I suspect I should go back and make
the old call code use them too, and probably several other places, as
that will greatly simplify the edge setting.
Since Ruamoko now uses the stack for parameters and locals, parameters
need to come after locals in the address space (instead of before, as in
v6 progs). Thus use separate spaces for parameters and locals regardless
of the target, then stitch them together appropriately for the target.
The third space is used for allocating stack space for arguments to
called functions. It us not used for v6 progs, and comes before locals
in Ruamoko progs.
Other than the return value, and optimization (ice, not implemented)
calls in Ruamoko look like they'll work.
My little test program now builds with the Ruamoko ISA :)
void cp (int *dst, int *src, int count)
{
while (count--) {
*dst++ = *src++;
}
}
Calls are broken (unimplemented), and non-void returns are not likely to
work either (only partially implemented).
For the most part, it wasn't too bad as it's just a rotation of the
operands for some instructions (store, assign, branch), but dealing with
all the direct accesses to specific operands was a small pain. I am very
glad I made all those automated tests :)
This makes the v6p instruction table consistent with the ruamoko
instruction table, and clears up some of the ugliness with the load,
store, and assign instructions (. .= and = are now spelled out). I think
I'd still prefer an enum code (faster) but at least this is more
readable.
I decided that the check for whether control reaches the end of the
function without performing some necessary action (eg, invoking
[super dealoc] in a derived -dealoc) is conceptually the return
statement using a pseudo operand and the necessary action defining that
pseudo operand and thus is the same as checking for uninitialised
variables. Thus, add a pseudo operand type and use one to represent the
invocation of [super alloc], with a special function to call when the
"used" pseudo operand is "uninitialised".
While I currently don't know what else pseudo operands could be used
for, the system should be flexible enough to add any check.
Fixes#24
I want to use the function's pseudo address that was used for managing
aliased temporary variables for other pseudo operands as well. The new
name seems to better reflect the variable's purpose even without the
other pseudo operands as temporary variables are, effectively, pseudo
operands until they are properly allocated.
After seeing set_size and thinking it redundant (thought it returned the
capacity of the set until I checked), I realized set_count would be a
much better name (set_count (node->successors) in qfcc does make much
more sense).
It now takes a context pointer (opaque data) that holds the buffers it
uses for the temporary strings. If the context pointer is null, a static
context is used (making those uses of va NOT thread-safe). Most calls to
va use the static context, but all such calls have been formatted
consistently so they are easy to find when it comes time to do a full
audit.
When a global variable is accessed via only an alias in a function the
actual def's flowvar would remain in the state it was from the last
function that accessed the global normally. This would result in invalid
flowvar accesses which can be difficult to reproduce (thus no test
case).
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).
and its usage. The parts of flow_analyze_statement that use it know
where the returned operand needs to go. Unfortunately, this breaks dags
pretty hard, but that's because dags needs to learn about the fancy
assignment-type statements.
That was a fair bit trickier than I thought, but now .return and .paramN
are handled correctly, too, especially taking call instructions into
account (they can "kill" all 9 defs).
As expected, this does not fix the mangled pointer problem in
struct-init-param.r, but it does improve the ud-chains. There's still a
problem with .return, but it's handling in flow_analyze_statement is a
bit "special" :P.
Doing the same thing at the end of two branches of an if/else seems off.
And doing an associative(?) set operation every time through a loop is
wasteful.
This the fixes the incorrect flow analysis caused by the def being seen
to have the wrong size (structure field of structure def seen through a
constant pointer). Fixes the ICE, but the pointer constant is broken
somewhere in dags, presumably.
While scan-build wasn't what I was looking for, it has proven useful
anyway: many of the sizeof errors were just noise, but a few were actual
bugs (allocating too much or too little memory).
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.
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).
