Simply referencing the original metafunc resulted in only the first
variant getting a def. Now my little test generates defs for all called
variants of a generic function.
However, I'm still not sure this is quite the direction I want to go
with making calls to generic functions, but I still need to figure out
defining them. I think making progress with the glsl front-end will
help.
Checking only the last function to be added results in false negatives
and thus duplicates when defining a generic function. eg:
genFType radians (genFType degrees);
genDType radians (genDType degrees);
genFType radians (genFType degrees) = #0;
genDType radians (genDType degrees) = #0;
Detecting generic functions needs to be done before finalizing the
function type for non-generic functions, otherwise the resulting
function type winds up being incorrect due to bogus resolution of the
return type (and probably a few other factors).
This takes care of handling the return type in function definitions as
well as declarations as
I never did like overloaded_function_t as a name, and with the
introduction of generic functions (or templates, I guess?) meta-function
makes more sense to me.
There's still the problem of defining implementations, but this gets a
lot of things working so long as the return type is one of the parameter
types rather than computed.
A working call isn't produced yet, but the generic function does seem to
be selected correctly preferring a minimum of type promotions, though I
suspect I'll need to do more work on the selection process.
With this, genFType and genDType functions are now treated separately
and expanding to all components (single row or column matrices are not
supported (at this stage, anyway) for generic parameters).
That is, `@generic(...) { ... };`, which is handy for bulk declarations
(such as for glsl). This proved to be a lot harder than expected, I
suspect handling of specifiers needs a lot of work.
It doesn't properly differentiate between (treats genDType as being the
same as genFType):
@generic(genFType=@vector(float)) genFType radians(genFType degrees);
@generic(genDType=@vector(double)) genDType radians(genDType degrees);
but this is due to problems with how the type is built from
@vector(float) and @vector(double). However, I thought it was about time
I got some of this into git.
Also, `@generic(...) { ... };` blocks don't work properly (they lose the
generic info): need to get a little smarter about handling generic scope
in `external_def_list`.
It's disabled by default because it's a runtime thing and I'm not sure I
want to keep it enabled, but it did find some issues (which I've cleaned
up), although it didn't find the problem I was looking for :P
There were a few places where some const-casts were needed, but they're
localized to code that's supposed to manipulate types (but I do want to
come up with something to clean that up).
Or at least mostly so (there are a few casts). This doesn't fix the
motor bug, but I've wanted to do this for over twenty years and at least
I know what's not causing the bug. However, disabling fold_constants in
expr_algebra.c does "fix" things, so it's still a good place to look.
Finally, that little e. is cleaned up. convert_name was a bit of a pain
(in that it relied on modifying the expression rather than returning a
new one, or more that such behavior was relied on).
I had messed up the handling of declarators for combinations of pointer,
function, and array: the pointer would get lost (and presumably arrays
of functions etc). I think I had gotten confused and thought things were
a tree rather than a simple list, but Holub set me straight once again
(I've never regretted getting that book). Once I understood that, it was
just a matter of finding all the places that needed to be fixed. Nicely,
most of the duplicated code has been refactored and should be easier to
debug in the future.
The type system rewrite had lost some of the checks for function fields.
This puts the actual code in the one place and covers parameters as well
as globals.
The symtab code itself cares only about global/not global for the size
of the hash table, but other code can use the symtab type for various
checks (eg, parameter shadowing).
Along with QuakeC's, of course. This fixes type typeredef2 test (a lot
of work for one little syntax error). Unfortunately, it came at the cost
of requiring `>>` in front of state expressions on C-style functions
(QuakeC-style functions are unaffected). Also, there are now two
shift/reduce conflicts with structs and unions (but these same conflicts
are in gcc 3.4).
This has highlighted the need for having the equivalent of the
expression tree for the declaration system as there are now several
hacks to deal with the separation of types and declarators. But that's a
job for another week.
The grammar constructs for declarations come from gcc 3.4's parser (I
think it's the last version of gcc that used bison. Also, 3.4 is still
GPL 2, so no chance of an issue there).
In working with vectors and matrices while testing the scene wrappers, I
found that there was a fair bit of confusion about how large something
could be. Return values can be up to 32 words (but qfcc wasn't aware of
that), parameters were limited to 4 words still (and possibly should be
for varargs), and temp defs were limited to 8 words (1 lvec4). Temps are
used for handling return values (at least when not optimizing) and thus
must be capable of holding a return value, and passing large arguments
through *formal* parameters should be allowed. It seems reasonable to
limit parameter sizes to return value sizes.
A temp and a move are still used for large return values (4x4 matrix),
but that's an optimization issue: the code itself is at least correct.
I suspect this is an ancient bug that wasn't noticed due to not looking
at progs.src compiled code enough, but it makes the first statements of
the function point to the correct line instead of a forward declaration.
This is a very tiny optimization, but there's no point in adjust the
stack if there's no actual adjustment. I didn't bother with it initially
because I thought it wouldn't happen (and I was more interested in
getting things working first), but it turns out that simple getters that
result in a zero adjustment are quite common (70/535 in qwaq-app.dat).
dvec4, lvec4 and ulvec4 need to be aligned to 8 words (32 bytes) in
order to avoid hardware exceptions. Rather than dealing with possibly
mixed alignment when a function has 8-word aligned locals but only
4-word aligned parameters, simply keep the stack frame 8-word aligned at
all times.
As for sizes, the temp def recycler was written before the Ruamoko ISA
was even a pipe dream and thus never expected temp def sizes over 4. At
least now any future adjustments can be done in one place.
My quick and dirty test program works :)
dvec4 xy = {1d, 2d, 0d, 0.5};
void printf(string fmt, ...) = #0;
int main()
{
dvec4 u = {3, 4, 3.14};
dvec4 v = {3, 4, 0, 1};
dvec4 w = v * xy + u;
printf ("[%g, %g, %g, %g]\n", w[0], w[1], w[2], w[3]);
return 0;
}
This is necessary to get statement disassembly working, and likely
debugging in general. locals is the total size of the stack frame and
thus reaches above the function-entry stack pointer, and params_start is
the local space relative start of the parameters. Thus, knowing the
function-entry stack pointer, the bottom of the locals space can be
found by subtracting params_start, and the top of the locals space by
adding (locals - params_start).
