This fixes the technically correct but horrible mess of temps and
addressing when dealing with ivars, and the resulting uninitialized
temps due to the non-constant pointers (do need statement level constant
folding, though).
This is part of what messed up float_val in the encoding for @params.
The other part is something in the linker type encoding merge code: it
may be too aggressive. It's also what messed up the size of @params.
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).
This reverts commit c78d15b331.
While a block expression's result may be an l-value, block expressions
are not (and their results may not be), thus taking the address of one
is not really correct. It seems the only place that tries to do so is
the assignment code when dealing with structures.
This reverts commit b49d90e769.
I suspect this was a workaround for the mess in assignment chains.
However, it caused compile errors with the new implementation, and is
just bogus anyway.
While I still hate ".=", at least it's more hidden, and the new
implementation is a fair bit cleaner (hah, goto a label in an if (0) {}
block).
Most importantly, the expression tree code knows nothing about it. Now
just to figure out what broke func-epxr. A bit of whack-a-mole, but yay
for automated tests.
Doing it in the expression trees was a big mistake for a several
reasons. For one, expression trees are meant to be target-agnostic, so
they're the wrong place for selecting instruction types. Also, the move
and memset expressions broke "a = b = c;" type expression chains.
This fixes most things (including the assignchain test) with -Werror
turned off (some issues in flow analysis uncovered by the nil
migration: memset target not extracted).
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 :)
This bug drove me nuts for several hours until I figured out what was
going on.
The assignment sub-tree is being generated, then lost. It works for
simple assignments because a = b = c -> (= a (= b c)), but for complex
assignments (those that require move or memset), a = b = c -> (b = c) (a
= c) but nothing points to (b = c). The cause is using binary
expressions to store assignments.
