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 :)
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).
The reduction is performed itteratively until the graph is irreducible, but
such that each reduction wraps the previous graph. Unfortunately, due
depth-first searching not being implemented, graphs that should be reduced
(ie, those with natural loops).
set_first() now returns a pointer to a setstate_t struct that holds the
state necessary for scanning a set. set_next() will automatically delete
the state block when the end of the set is reached. set_delstate() is also
provided to allow early termination of the scan.
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.
