While qfcc dealing sensibly with mixed target VMs in the object files
has always been an outstanding issue, with the new instruction set it
has become a priority. Most importantly, this should allow QF to
continue building while I work on qfcc targeting the new IS.
It does little good for documentation to refer to fields that don't
exist (because a certain someone forgot to change the docs when changing
the field names, I wonder who :P).
And partial implementations in qfcc (most places will generate an
internal error (not implemented) or segfault, but some low-hanging fruit
has already been implemented).
The opcode table is a nightmare to maintain, but this does clean it up
and speed up opcode lookups since they can now be indexed. Of course, it
turns out I had missed adding several instructions, so had to fix that,
and qfcc needed a bit of a re-jigger to get the opcode out of the table.
qfo_to_progs was modifying the space data pointers in the input qfo,
making it impossible to reuse the qfo. However, qfo_relocate_refs needs
the updated pointers, thus do a shallow copy of the qfo and its spaces
(but not any of the data)
I decided that the check for whether control reaches the end of the
function without performing some necessary action (eg, invoking
[super dealoc] in a derived -dealoc) is conceptually the return
statement using a pseudo operand and the necessary action defining that
pseudo operand and thus is the same as checking for uninitialised
variables. Thus, add a pseudo operand type and use one to represent the
invocation of [super alloc], with a special function to call when the
"used" pseudo operand is "uninitialised".
While I currently don't know what else pseudo operands could be used
for, the system should be flexible enough to add any check.
Fixes#24
I want to use the function's pseudo address that was used for managing
aliased temporary variables for other pseudo operands as well. The new
name seems to better reflect the variable's purpose even without the
other pseudo operands as temporary variables are, effectively, pseudo
operands until they are properly allocated.
Forgetting to invoke [super dealloc] in a derived class's -dealloc
method has caused me to waste far too much time chasing down the
resulting memory leaks and crashes. This is actually the main focus of
issue #24, but I want to take care of multiple paths before I consider
the issue to be done.
However, as a bonus, four cases were found :)
While get_selector does the job of getting a selector from a selector
reference expression, I have long considered lumping various expression
types under ex_expr to be a mistake. Not only is this a step towards
sorting that out, it will make working on #24 easier.
In order to correctly handle swap-style code
{ t = a; a = b; b = t; }
edges need to be created for each of the assignments moving an
identifier lable, but the dag must remain acyclic (the above example
wants to create a cycle). Having the reachable nodes recorded makes
checking for potential loops a quick operation.
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).
