It currently dies when single stepping or exiting due to EditBuffer's
retain count not getting incremented when initialized. This is because
EditBuffer is initialized in C and thus does not call Object's -init.
While trying to build a view without deriving from it was a neat idea,
it doesn't work so well because a view really needs to know how to draw
itself. This even fixes the segfault when stepping past the end of the
program.
For now it just manages type encodings via their encoding string,
ensuring types are fetched from the target only once, if at all (may
already have the type due to it being common).
Things were getting rather cluttered with everything being qwaq-* and
all in one directory. Now most have lost the qwaq- prefix and have been
moved into subdirectories (non-recursive make).
Because type aliases need to be unaliased, the type pointers in the type
encodings need to be correct when it comes to linking defs and
functions. This fixes the linking errors in ruamoko/game.
I was very uncertain about the validity of messing with the old type
encoding that way, but adding the check to ensure the type has been
processed never fired, so it seems ok. And the comments help me a lot :)
When aliasing a type that already has aliases, the top node needs to be
replaced if it is unnamed, or the alias-free branch of the new node
needs to reach around to the alias-free branch of the existing node.
This fixes the bogus param counts in qwaq.
This fixes the typelinker test, but not the linking error in
ruamoko/game that it was supposed to represent. I guess there's
something more going on (maybe type encoding relocation issues).
Fixes#6
It turned out that the problem with @zero was caused by initial type
chaining occurring before the structures had been initialized and thus
the linker's @zero type encoding string was incorrect: {?=} instead of
{tag @zero-}, thus when the actual type encoding supplied by an object
file came along (with the correct encoding string), it wasn't found.
It is now "consistent" with the rest of the type building in that it
uses find_type(append_type(return, params)) like the C version, thus
allowing append_type to do its thing with type aliases. This fixes the
overload test.
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.
The full_type branch of an alias splitter (alias with null name) needs
to mirror the clean side up to the type alias. It is causing problems
with functions, but that's expected because parameters complicate
things.
It's not connected up yet because I'm unsure of just where to put things
(it gets messy fast), but just being able to see the structure of
complex types is nice.
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.
