All simple type checks are now done using is_* helper functions. This
will help hide the implementation details of the type system from the
rest of the compiler (especially the changes needed for type aliasing).
They take a pointer to a free-list used for hashlinks so the hashlink
pools can be per-thread. However, hash tables that are not updated are
always thread-safe, so this affects only updates. progs_t has been set
up such that it is easy for multiple progs within one thread can share
hashlinks.
This is where constant folding should have happened all along. While
unary_expr should fold constants too, it seems to already try to do so
and it's a bit much of a mess to clean up right now.
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).
It looks like I had forgotten that the compare function is supposed to
return true/false (unlike memcmp's sorting ability). Also, avoid the
pointers in the value struct as they can change without notice.
Using enums in switches now works nicely, including warnings for unused
enum values.
Aliasing the jump table to an integer broke statement_get_targetlist with
the new alias def handling, and was really wrong anyway. I probably did
that due to being fed up with things and wanting to get qfcc working again
rather than spending time getting jumpb right.
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).
The goto for the default expression is the source of the mis-counted label
users: the label was being counted by the goto, but the goto was never
being inserted into the code (only v6 progs or "difficult" types insert the
goto).
The space is meaningless for op_* relocations as they are always in the
code space, but def_* relocations need to know which space holds the
location to be adjusted.
Since there is now a proper symbol table, defs are now just references to
memory locations and the symbol table takes care of duplicates.
Also, start using far data for ObjQC structures.
The qfo functions have been stubbed out until I figure out what to do with
object files in the new scheme.
That which isn't rewritten is horribly broken. However, this does include a
nice mechanism for building QC structs for emitting data.
emit.c has been gutted in the spirit of "throw one away".
There is much work to be done to get even variables emitted, let alone
code. Things should be a little more fun from here on.
