Since the change to the symbol emission strategy, a lot of the
previous attempts to derive the linkage for a symbol from its
AST node has been superfluous. This cleans up all the related
code, as it is really not doing much anymore.
The code to opportunistically internalize symbols is now gone
entirely. It was commented out anyway due to problems with
making it work reliably in the face of the not-so-stable
structure of the AST we get from the frontend (regarding the
modules certain symbols end up in). But in any case internal
linkage woudl also be troublesome for cross-module inlining,
so I gave up on making this work for the time being.
The only (minor) change in the emitted code should be in
.offTi generation, which is untested and disabled by default
anyway (GENERATE_OFFTI).
Turns out that since the change to use DMD's symbol emission
logic a few releases back we didn't actually ever emit code
for the extra modules. Thus, all the effort for the extra
semantic passes went to waste.
If we want to implement DMD-style cross-module inlining, we
need to add the extra semantic3s back in, and then iterate
over all the non-root modules with a codegen visitor that
only emits symbols as available_externally.
We probably won't need the availableExternally members if
we start with a clean design in the new symbol emission
framework. Thus, remove everything in the meantime. This
will make some release builds a bit faster, and should not
negatively affect generated code.
1. Main include corresponding to .cpp file, if any.
2. DMD and LDC includes.
3. LLVM includes.
4. System includes.
Also updated a few include guards to match the default format.
Fixed problem with DtoConstSize_t taking a size_t argument, this is not enough for cross compiling from 32bit host to a 64bit target. It now takes uint64_t. There's probably a lot of similar case around to code ...
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.
In particular, %.nest_arg is always aligned even though it's bitcast from i8*.
Pointers in vtables are also guaranteed to be stored at aligned addresses.
- 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 .
Changed -g switch to emit DW_LANG_D debug info, make demangling work with a patched GDB, still more work to do for full support of D's Dwarf extensions.
Added getNullValue helper method.
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.
I've implemented it this way since it doesn't require any changes in the
frontend. However, I think having TypeTuple expressed as LLVM struct types
would make much more sense and open the door to tuple lvalues.
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.
