Added -v-cg switch, which right now just prints "codegen: module.name (module/name.d)" to stdout, this can really help figuring out where, in some complex build command, things go wrong.
to D functions, we can apply noalias and nocapture. They are sret parameters,
'nest' pointers passed to nested functions, and _argptr:
Nocapture:
- Sret and nest are nocapture because they don't represent D-level variables,
and thus the callee can't (validly) obtain a pointer to them, let alone keep
it around after it returns.
- _argptr is nocapture because although the callee has access to it as a
pointer, that pointer is invalidated when it returns.
All three are noalias because they're function-local variables
- Sret and _argptr are noalias because they're freshly alloca'd memory only
used for a single function call that's not allowed to keep an aliasing
pointer to it around (since the parameter is nocapture).
- 'Nest' is noalias because the callee only ever has access to one such pointer
per parent function, and every parent function has a different one.
This commit also ensures attributes set on sret, _arguments and _argptr are
propagated to calls to such functions.
It also adds one exception to the general rule that attributes on function types
should propagate to calls: the type of a delegate's function pointer has a
'nest' parameter, but this can either be a true 'nest' (for delegates to nested
functions) or a 'this' (for delegates to member functions). Since 'this' is
neither noalias nor nocapture, and there's generally no way to tell which one it
is, we remove these attributes at the call site if the callee is a delegate.
- Implement x86-64 extern(C), hopefully correctly.
- Tried to be a bit smarter about extern(D) while I was there.
Interestingly, this code seems to be generating more efficient code than
gcc and llvm-gcc in some edge cases, like returning a `{ [7 x i8] }` loaded from
a stack slot from an extern(C) function. (gcc generates 7 1-byte loads, while
this code generates a 4-byte, a 2-byte and a 1-byte load)
I also added some changes to make sure structs being returned from functions or
passed in as parameters are stored in memory where the rest of the backend seems
to expect them to be. These should be removed when support for first-class
aggregates improves.
- Moved main() into its own file gen/main.cpp
- Fixed basic cross compilation
- removed the option for setting OS
- added support for llc's mattr, mcpu and mtriple switches
- added basic ABI abstraction for return value rewrites, it's not perfect and will probably be completely rewritten once I get to handling parameter rewrites as well.
- x86-64 extern(C) abi for cfloat returns now match (llvm-)gcc.
Applied patch from ticket #129 to compile against latest LLVM. Thanks Frits van Bommel.
Fixed implicit return by asm block at the end of a function on x86-32. Other architectures will produce an error at the moment. Adding support for new targets is fairly simple.
Fixed return calling convention for complex numbers, ST and ST(1) were switched around.
Added some testcases.
I've run a dstress test and there are no regressions. However, the runtime does not seem to compile with symbolic debug information. -O3 -release -inline works well and is what I used for the dstress run. Tango does not compile, a small workaround is needed in tango.io.digest.Digest.Digest.hexDigest. See ticket #206 .
Fixed function literals in static initializers.
Changed alignment of delegates from 2*PTRSIZE to just PTRSIZE.
Changed errors to go to stderr instead of stdout.
Fairly major rewriting of struct/union/class handling, STILL A BIT BUGGY !!!
Changed runtime functions taking opaque[] to void[].
Implemented proper type painting, to avoid "resizing" array casts in runtime calls that previously took opaque[].
Implemented dynamic arrays as first class types, this implements proper ABI for these types on x86.
Added dwarf region end after call to assert function, fixes some problems with llvm not allowing this to be missing.
Reverted change to WithStatement from rev [704] it breaks MiniD, mini/with2.d needs to be fixed some other way...
Fixed tango bug 1339 in runtime, problem with _adReverseChar on invalid UTF-8.
Disabled .bc generation in the compiler runtime part, genobj.d triggers some llvm bug when using debug info. the .o seems to work fine.
Reimplemented support for nested functions/class using a new approach.
Added error on taking address of intrinsic.
Fixed problems with the ->syntaxCopy of TypeFunction delegate exp.
Removed DtoDType and replaced all uses with ->toBasetype() instead.
Removed unused inplace stuff.
Fixed a bunch of issues in the runtime unittests, not complete yet.
Added mini tests.
Fixed some wrong argument handling code when setting parameter attributes.
Updated the tango unittest script in the tango patch, does not work yet, all modules don't compile...
Removed the -fp80 option and made real be 80bit floats on X86, this is what the D spec really says it should be and fixes a bunch of issues.
Changed the handling of parameter attributes to a bit more generalized approach.
Added sext/zext attributes for byte/short/ubyte/ushort parameters, fixes#60 .
Parameter attribs now properly set for intrinsic calls if necessary.
Made the tango.math.Math patch less intrusive.
Fixed/added some mini tests.
