- added checks for duplicate field names.
- moved the tree node symbol tables out of PSymbolTreeNode to the worker data. That symbol is a bad location because it restricts the usefulness of the symbol class which is also needed for variables which use different AST structs.
- fixed some memory management issues with the work classes for the compiler that became apparent after moving the symbol tables in there. In several places these were copied around, possibly losing data.
- fixed: The tree nodes for classes and struct members were stored in the global tree nodes table.
- sort variable declarations into their own list for processing.
This uses a different algorithm as the old implementation - instead of recursively resolving unknown symbols it will first collect all constants from all scopes and then process them in one operation, doing multiple passes over the list until no more constants can be resolved anymore.
Ultimately we may have to get a fully qualified name out of this, so Outer should be a type that can handle this feature. The new class for this is currently used as base for PType and PSymbol so that PNamedType inherits from it and maybe later a namespace symbol can, too.
- Values are tagged to allow for some measure of changing variable types
without automatically breaking savegames.
- Use these new methods to serialize the non-native variables in an
object. This allows for achiving non-ints.
- Don't bother keeping track of uncompiled nodes in a special table. Use
the regular symbol table instead. This should in the future make
compiling nodes referenced deeper than (and before) their definitions
fairly straightforward.
- Also, break up the compiler's Message() function into Warn() and Error()
and get rid of zcc_errors.h. I can't really see having a set of error
numbers being useful.
- The A_Jump family of action functions now return the state to jump
to (NULL if no jump is to be taken) instead of jumping directly.
It is the caller's responsibility to handle the jump. This will
make it possible to use their results in if statements and
do something other than jump.
- DECORATE return statements can now return the result of a function
(but not any random expression--it must be a function call). To
make a jump happen from inside a multi-action block, you must
return the value of an A_Jump function. e.g.:
{ return A_Jump(128, "SomeState"); }
- The VMFunction class now contains its prototype instead of storing
it at a higher level in PFunction. This is so that
FState::CallAction can easily tell if a function returns a state.
- Removed the FxTailable class because with explicit return
statements, it's not useful anymore.
This requires quite a bit more thorough cleanup. I got it to the point where the titlepic appears after restarting, but it still crashes when starting the game so there's more data that needs to be cleaned up...
- Member variables are now declared all in one place: InitThingdef(). They
are not partially defined in thingdef_expression.cpp and further refined
in actor.txt.
- This left ParseNativeVariable() parsing only functions, so it has been
renamed to ParseNativeFunction().
- Note that their declarations in InitThingdef() are expected to be
temporary.
- PType::FindConversion() can find a path to convert one type to another.
This is completely generic and can handle any number of conversion
functions.
- I can't believe I completely forgot to let the parser handle true and
false literals.
- Consolidate all the %include blocks in zcc-parse.lemon into a single
one, because Lemon all of a sudden decided it didn't like me having more
than one in the grammar file.
- Added a PBool type to represent boolean values with.
- Added TypeVoid for statements, which produce no type.
- Added TypeError for expressions whose arguments are incompatible.
- Pointers now derive from PBasicType instead of PInt. Since they have their own register sets in the VM, this seems to make more sense than treating them as integers.
- Constants can be strings, but the existing PSymbolConst couldn't handle
them. The old PSymbolConst is now PSymbolConstNumeric, and the new
PSymbolConst is a now a baseclass for it and PSymbolConstString.
- The type systems used by PField and FxExpression are completely
incompatible, but I think I got the differences taken care of as far
as ParseNativeVariable(), ParseUserVariable(), and FxClassMember are
concerned.
- Support for declaring native bool variables has been removed for the time
being. It wasn't used anyway.
- Removed PSymbolVariable.
