The previous solution was problematic because the change was language-
visble via the isUnsigned trait. Now, pointers are simply explicitly
checked for in the relevant places. (Note that there might be cases in
the diff where a direct isunsigned() call would have been appropriate –
I only checked for instances where the type clearly cannot be a pointer,
but chose to go the safe route in replicating existing behavior
otherwise).
Fixes DMD testcase 'traits'.
See the comment in DtoCallFunction for an explanation of what is
going on.
The struct zero initialization code was also refactored out to
AssignExp::toElem and modified so that it is only triggered
on integer->struct assignments, not for any types where the
modifier-stripped types don't match up. This would have lead to
silently wrong code in the cases where the assert would have been
triggered otherwise.
Fixes the Phobos testsuite build.
Previously, we just had a hack to make ref foreach statements work.
This commit enables them to work in other cases as well, like the
implicit __result variable for functions with out-contracts (which
is such a magic ref variable for ref-returning functions).
Fixes DMD testcase 'testcontracts'.
This is based on Item 2 of "More Effective C++". In general, the C++ cast operators are more expressive and easy to find,
e.g. by grep. Using const_cast also shuts up some compiler warnings.
1) The last parameter of getGetElementPtr() has type bool. In some instances, a 2 is used as parameter. This is converted to true.
2) Several loops use int instead of unsigned. This causes warning about signed/unsigned mismatch.
Curiously, only Visual C++ complains about this. Nevertheless I think that the warnings should be fixed.
Unline older versions, llvm 3.0 provides atomic instructions, not intrinsics.
The patch wraps the instructions into intrinsics, so they will be accessible
from d code.
