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The vc project files have been removed since those versions are way out
of date and quakeforge is pretty much dependent on gcc now anyway.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).
The compilation unit stores the directory from which qfcc was run and
any source files mentioned. This is similar to dwarf's compilation unit.
Right now, this is the only data in the new debug space, but more might
come in the future so it seems best to treat the debug space separately
in the object files.
getcwd is assumed to use malloc if its buff param is null. This may need
fixing in the future, but it's in one spot. The result in "saved" in the
non-progs pool.
It never really helped sort out the path issues when using build
directories. It worked well enough for single directory projects, but
things got messy very quickly, especially when mixing ruamoko libs with
external progs. A better method based on dwarf is coming.
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.
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).
That is, those created by operand_address. The dag code needs the
expression that is attached to the statement to have the correct
expression type in order to do the right thing with the operands and
aliasing, especially when generating temps. This fixes assignchain when
optimizing (all tests pass again).
Now convert_nil only assigns the nil expression a type, and nil makes
its way down to the statement emission code (where it belongs, really).
Breaks even more things :)
It's not possible to take the address of constants (at this stage) and
trying to use a move instruction with .zero as source would result in
the VM complaining about null pointer access when bounds checking is on.
Thus, don't convert a nil source expression until it is known to be
safe, and use memset when it is not.
This fixes the problem of using the return value of a function as an
element in a compound initializer. The cause of the problem is that
compound initializers were represented by block expressions, but
function calls are contained within block expressions, so def
initialization saw the block expression and thought it was a nested
compound initializer.
Technically, it was a bug in the nested element parsing code in that it
wasn't checking the result value of the block expression, but using a
whole new expression type makes things much cleaner and the work done
paves the way for labeled initializers and compound assignments.
Multi-line calls (especially messages) got rather confusing to read as
the lines jumped back and forth. Now the binding is better but the dags
code is reordering the parameters sometimes.
This reverts commit a2f203c840.
There is indeed a world of difference between "any" and "only", and it
helps if I read the rest of the docs AND the code :P.
While expression symbols worked for what they are, they weren't so good
for ivar access because every ivar of a class (and its super classes)
would be accessed at method scope creation, generating spurious access
errors if any were private. That is, when the access checks worked at
all.
This is for adding methods to classes and protocols via their interface,
not for adding methods by adding protocols (they still get copied).
Slightly more memory efficient.
Unlike gcc, qfcc requires foo to be defined, not just declared (I
suspect this is a bug in gcc, or even the ObjC spec), because allowing
forward declarations causes an empty (no methods) protocol to be
emitted, and then when the protocol is actually defined, one with
methods, resulting in two different versions of the same protocol, which
comments in the gnu objc runtime specifically state is a problem but is
not checked because it "never happens in practice" (found while
investigating gcc's behavior with @protocol and just what some of the
comments about static instance lists meant).
It proved to be too fragile in its current implementation. It broke
pointers to incomplete structs and switch enum checking, and getting it
to work for other things was overly invasive. I still want the encoding,
but need to come up with something more robust.a
Such declarations were being lost, thus in the following, the id field
never got added:
typedef struct qwaq_mevent_s {
int id;
int x, y, z;
int buttons;
} qwaq_mevent_t;
The addition of xdef data has made qfo_to_progs unusable in qfprogs,
resulting in various invalid memory accesses. It always was an ugly hack
anyway, so this is the first step to proper qfo support in qfprogs.
I was originally going to put it in the debug syms file, but I realized
that the data persistence code would need access to both def type and
certainly correct def offsets for defs in far data.
This far better reflects the actual meaning. It is very likely that
ty_none is a holdover from long before there was full type encoding and
it meant that the union in qfcc's type_t had no data. This is still
true for basic types, but only if not a function, field or pointer type.
If the type was function, field or pointer, it was not true, so it was
misnamed pretty much from the start.
The encoding is 3:5 giving 3 bits for alignment (log2) and 5 bits for
size, with alignment in the 3 most significant bits. This keeps the
format backwards compatible as until doubles were added, all types were
aligned to 1 word which gets encoded as 0, and the size is unaffected.
This fixed the uninitialized temp warning in HUD.r. The problem was
caused by the flow analyzer not being able to detect that the struct
temp was being initialized by the move statement due to the address of
the temp being in a pointer temp. While it would be good to use a
constant pointer for the address of the struct temp or improving the
flow analyzer to track actual data, avoiding the temp in the first place
results in nicer code as it removes a move statement.
Only as scalars, I still need to think about what to do for vectors and
quaternions due to param size issues. Also, doubles are not yet
guaranteed to be correctly aligned.
