I've long felt build_function_call was getting a bit big, and expr.c
especially so. This should make it easier to rewrite build_function_call
for dealing with target-specific code. As a bonus, the int through ...
warning is already cleaned up.
I'd gotten tired of all the convoluted progs version checks, and with
the addition of spirv, they're not even always relevant, and adding C
(when I get to it) will make things even worse. However, for now the
first victim is just the parameter/return value size check.
I plan to do this eventually for Ruamoko, but I need it to keep working
for now; it's rather nice having multiple languages. I expect this will
open up a lot of options for inlining, generic/template function
instantiation, etc. Right now, it's helping with specialization
constants in glsl.
I'm not sure I got all the checks right, but bsp_gbuf.geom passes the
validity (but failes due to not having implemented the application of
the qualifiers).
Attributes seem appropriate as GLSL's qualifiers affect variables rather
than types (since there's no typedef).
Not much is done with the attributes yet other than some basic error
checking (duplicates of non-layout attributes) and debug output, but
most (if not all) declarations get to the declaration code with
attributes intact.
Allows the parsing of the return type in the following:
@generic(vec=[vec2,vec3,vec4]) {
@vector(bool,@width(vec)) lessThan(vec x, vec y);
}
Unfortunately, can't use math in int value parameters just yet, the
processing of expressions needs to be delayed (it's currently done
immediately so type-checking happens to early).
It's not connected up yet, but does produce what looks like the correct
code.
There's no direct support for namespaces in Ruamoko yet, nor even in
qfcc, but glsl's blocks bring in a bit of foundation for them, even the
concept of "using" (for blocks with no instance name).
The members don't get locations allocated to them yet, but
fstrianglest.vert compiles and links correctly otherwise.
Also, there's no error checking yet.
The expression grammar has been tidied up and some basic checks are made
of parameters to the type functions. Also, type parameters are looked up
so parsing now works properly. However, the type parameters are not used
correctly, so function generation doesn't work.
The syntax is not at all correct at this stage (really, just a copy of
Ruamoko), but the keyword table exists (in the wrong place) and the
additional basic types (bool, bvecN and (d)matNxM) have been added.
Boolean base type is currently just int, and matrices have 0 width while
I think about what to use, but finally some progress after several
months' hiatus.
The improved location tracking isn't used yet, but was fairly invasive
on the bison-flex api.
It also cleans up some of the ancient workarounds for bad flex cores.
Especially binary expressions. That expressions can now be reused is
what caused the need to make expression lists non-invasive: the reuse
resulted in loops in the lists. This doesn't directly affect code
generation at this stage but it will help with optimizing algebraic
expressions.
The dags are per sequence point (as per my reading of the C spec).
This gets only some very basics working:
* Algebra (multi-vector) types: eg @algebra(float(3,0,1)).
* Algebra scopes (using either the above or @algebra(TYPE_NAME) where
the above was used in a typedef.
* Basis blades (eg, e12) done via procedural symbols that evaluate to
suitable constants based on the basis group for the blade.
* Addition and subtraction of multi-vectors (only partially tested).
* Assignment of sub-algebra multi-vectors to full-algebra multi-vectors
(missing elements zeroed).
There's still much work to be done, but I thought it time to get
something into git.
Nicely, I was able to reuse the generated conversion code used by the
progs engine to do the work in qfcc, just needed appropriate definitions
for the operand macros, and to set up the conversion code. Helped
greatly by the new value load/store functions.
Ruamoko passes va_list (@args) through the ... parameter (as such), but
IMP uses ... to defeat parameter type and count checking and doesn't
want va_list. While possibly not the best solution, adding a no_va_list
flag to function types and skipping ex_args entirely does take care of
the problem without hard-coding anything specific to IMP.
The system currently just sets some bits in the type specifier (the
attribute list should probably be carried around with the specifier),
but it gets the job done for now, and at least gets things started.
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).
