The switch allows the optimizer and inliner to run on all modules at once and opens the door for template instantiation improvements that should lower compile time and executable size.
llvm::OStream provides all std::ostream functionality (by holding a
std::ostream* internally), but
* doesn't include <iostream>, avoiding per-file overhead.
* allows the stream pointer to be null, and the (inlined) operators do nothing
when that's the case. (This also allows removal of the ofstream("/dev/null")
hack Logger used when disabled, which presumably wasn't very portable)
- 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.
Note: For a backward compatible interface, use the new bin/ldmd script. It
supports all old options while passing on anything it doesn't recognize.
Some changes caused by this:
* -debug and -version are now -d-debug and -d-version due to a conflict with
standard LLVM options.
* All "flag" options now allow an optional =true/=1/=false/=0 suffix.
* Some "hidden debug switches" starting with "--" were renamed because LLVM
doesn't care about the number of dashes, so they were conflicting with other
options (such as -c).
The new versions start with "-hidden-debug-" instead of "--"
* --help works, but has a non-zero exit code. This breaks some Tango scripts
which use it to test for compiler existence. See tango.patch.
Some changes not (directly) caused by this;
* (-enable/-disable)-FOO options are now available for pre- and postconditions.
* -march is used instead of -m (like other LLVM programs), but -m is an alias
for it.
* -defaultlib, -debuglib, -d-debug and -d-version allow comma-separated values.
The effect should be identical to specifying the same option multiple times.
I decided against allowing these for some other options because paths might
contain commas on some systems.
* -fPIC is removed in favor of the standard LLVM option -relocation-model=pic
Bug:
* If -run is specified as the last argument in DFLAGS, no error is generated.
(Not very serious IMHO)
CFGSimplification pass.
The pass was originally added as a workaround for a LLVM 2.4 bug where debug
info would reference labels that have been optimized away.
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 align N; in asm blocks.
Fixed inreg parameter passing on x86 for ref/out params.
Removed support for lazy initialization of function local static variables, I have no idea why I ever implemented this, it's not in the D spec, and DMD doesn't support it :P
Some of the global variable related changes might cause minor regressions, but they should be easily fixable.
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 !!!
Removed druntime from the repository again.. Sorry :/
Updated the druntime port a bit, now requires druntime from trunk.
Added info in runtime/README on how to get druntime from trunk.
Added patch to add LDC support to druntime.
Removed some debug logging from D2 builds.
Fixed broken typeinfo for const/invariant in D2.
Changed the way struct/class fields are added, first small part of cleaning up these...
Make struct/class/union fields aware of any anonymous struct/union they might be part of, not yet really useful, but part of getting better union support.
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.
