Not sure just what version of automake broke things, but I do remember
having a bad time getting the dependencies to work in the first place.
At least now they should be more reliable (until automake changes
things).
After messing with SIMD stuff for a little, I think I now understand why
the industry went with xyzw instead of the mathematical wxyz. Anyway, this
will make for less pain in the future (assuming I got everything).
If the kahan triangle area method breaks, I did something wrong with qfcc's
handling of parentheses (ie, floating point math is not truly associative).
This is a nice feature found in fteqcc (also a bit of a challenge from
Spike). Getting bison to accept the new expression required rewriting the
state expression grammar, so this is mostly for the state expression. A
test to ensure the state expression doesn't break is included.
It seems dag_set_live_vars still served a purpose after all, but I don't
feel like bringing it as I'd rather implement its param handing in
dagnode_set_edges. I've now got a test case for it, though the test
currently causes the VM to segfault (even with pr_boundscheck 2!).
If the final block ends in a conditional statement, appending return to the
block will hide the conditional statement from the flow analyzer. This may
cause the conditional statement's destination node be become unreachable
according to the analyzer and thus eliminated. The label for the branch
then loses its target sblock and thus the code generator will produce a
zero-distance jump resulting in an infinite loop.
Thus, if the final block ends in a conditional statement (or, for
completeness, a call statement), append a new empty block before adding the
return statement.
It turns out they're not getting allocated properly (they're put in the
function's locals defspace rather than near data), but fixing it proved a
little more problematic than expected, so the test is marked as XFAIL for
now to remind me to fix it.
This required throwing out the primary rules that snax did up to help me
with conflicts many years ago, but they were now getting in the way. Now
the productions from primary are merged in with unary_expr.
It turns out no code was being generated for x = *y. Ouch. I suspect I need
to take a better look at expr_deref at some time in the not too distant
future.
