a generalized version of the formal var/out/constref support (this
also fixes passing string[xyz] expressions to non-formal var/out/constref
parameters)
git-svn-id: branches/jvmbackend@18774 -
o primitive types are first boxed
o the parameter is passed inside an array of one class instance
o changing the parameter inside the routine (by assigning a value to it
like in Delphi.NET and different from regular Pascal code) will replace
this class instance (again boxing the value if required)
o on return, the class instance is extracted, unboxed if required, and
assigned back to the original location
o formal const parameters are handled without the extra array indirection,
since they cannot be changed
TODO: while writing tjvmcallparanode.handleformalcopyoutpara() I forgot that
calling getcopy on ttemprefnodes whose ttempcreatenode hasn't been copied
yet works fine, so that code is more complex than needed. Still have to
fix.

* use this counter to mark classes containing abstract methods as
"abstract" in the bytecode per the JVM spec
* also use the counter to short-circuit printing of all abstract

of abstract methods every time a new instance is created, which is
a waste of time if there are none in the first place)

a new customprocname() method and tprocnameoption flags (add parameter

don't add the "class" prefix for class methods)
Reason: for internal use by the compiler so it can output the procdef

easier than manually constructing a new procdef, or duplicating it
inside of another objectdef)

- added "helperallowed" boolean field to ttypenode which is set to false by default
- check that field in ttypenode.pass_1 and generate an error if it's false
* ncal.pas:

* pexpr.pas:
- allow helpers in "sizeof" and "typeinfo"
- remove the check against "TSomeHelper.SomeMethod", but leave an explaining comment there
git-svn-id: branches/svenbarth/classhelpers@17308 -
This change became necessary of the following reasons:
- Records don't support inheritance, thus for "record helpers" some creativity would have been necessary to implement them; with the new implementation this is more easily
- the new approach allows for easy checks regarding virtual methods and their overrides which would have been more complicated in the old variant
- if someone feels the need the types of helpers (object, interface) can be added rather easily
- unnecessary things like VMT generation can be disabled now
details:
- msg*:
* moved some messages from parser to type
* adjusted a message ("class helper" => "helper")
- symdef.pas:
* renamed "helperparent" to "extendeddef" and changed its type from "tobjectdef" to "tabstractrecorddef", so records can be extended as well (somewhen in the near future)
* removed "finish_class_helper" method as it isn't necessary (luckily I haven't yet adjusted the ObjC variant)
* changed name of "is_objectpascal_classhelper" to "is_objectpascal_helper" to reflect that this function applies to all helper types
* tobjectdef.create: ImplementedInterfaces isn't created for odt_helper anymore
* tobjectdef.alignment: for helpers it's the same as for classes although this shouldn't be used anywhere...
* tobjectdef.vmtmethodoffset: set to 0 for helpers to be sure...
* tobjectdef.needs_inittable: not needed for helpers (no fields allowed)
* is_objectpascal_helper: only needs check for "odt_helper" object type
- symconst.pas:
* changed odt_classhelper to more general odt_helper
* added new type "thelpertype" which is used to check that "(record|class) helper" corresponds with the given extended type (as Delphi XE checks this as well this strict solution can be kept for modes Delphi and ObjFPC)
- symtable.pas:
* extended "searchsym_in_class" with the possibility to disable the search for helper methods (needed for inherited) => this implies changing all occurences of "searchsym_in_class" with a "true" except some special locations
* renamed "search_objectpascal_classhelper" to "search_objectpascal_helper"
* searchsym_in_class:
** when an extended method is defined with "overload" it can be that a same named method of the extended class might be called (sadly this means that this search was unnecessary...)
** contextclassh is the def of the helper in the case of an inherited call inside the helper's implementation
** when methods inside a helper are searched, it must be searched in the extended type first
- ptype.pas:
* single_type is used to parse the parent of a helper as well, so allow a helper if the stoParseClassParent is given (needs check in pdecobj.pas/parse_class_parents for normal classes)
* read_named_type: currently the only case when something <> ht_none is passed to the modified parse_objdec (see below) is when the combination "class helper" is encountered ("record helper" will be another one)
- pinline.pas: adjustment for extended "searchsym_in_class"
- pexpr.pas:
* adjustments regarding "searchsym_in_class" and "is_objectpascal_helper"
* factor/factor_read_id: moved the check for "TSomeClassType.SomeMethod" outside of the "is_class" check
* factor:
** in case of an inherited we need to search inside the extended type first (Note: this needs to be extended to find methods in the helper parent if no method is found in the extended type)
** we also need to disable the search for helper methods when searching for an inherited method (Note: it might be better to introduce a enum to decide whether a helper method should search before or after the methods of the extended type or even never)
- pdecsub.pas:
* insert_self_and_vmt_para: in a helper the type of Self is of the extended type
* pd_abstract, pd_final: more nice error message
* pd_override, pd_message, pd_reintroduce: adjusted checks because now "is_class" is no longer true for helpers
* proc_direcdata: allowed "abstract" for helpers (only to produce a more nice error message)
* parse_proc_direc: adjustment because of "is_objectpascal_helper"
- pdecobj.pas:
* adjustments regarding "is_objectpascal_helper"
* adjusted object_dec to take the type of the helper (class, record) as a parameter to be able to check whether the correct extended type was given
* struct_property_dec: properties are allowed in helpers
* parse_object_options: nothing to be parsed for helpers (at least I hope so ^^)
* parse_parent_classes:
** the parent of a helper is now parsed as a normal parent, the extended type is parsed in an extra procedure
** check for "sealed" no longer needed
** added check that the parsed parent of a helper is indeed a helper
** allow to parse the closing ")" of the helper's parent
* parse_extended_class:
** new procedure that parses the type which is extended
** it checks that the extended type is a class for "class helper" and a record for "record helper"
** it checks that a helper extends the same class or a subclass for class helpers
** it checks that a helper extends the same record for record helpers
* parse_object_members:
** "type", "const", "var" is allowed in helpers
** don't exclude flags regarding virtual methods, they are needed for the checks in mode Delphi (this implies that VMT loading must be disabled for helpers)
* object_dec:
** don't change "odt_helper" to "odt_class", but still include the "oo_is_classhelper" flag
** allow the parsing of object options (there are none)
** parse the extended type for helpers
- pdecl.pas
* adjustment because of extension of object_dec
* types_dec: remove the call to finish_classhelper
- objcdef.pas
* objcaddencodedtype, objcdochecktype: add references to helpers as implicit pointers although that should not be used in any way...
- nld.pas
* tloadnode.pass_typecheck: self is a reference to the extended type
- nflw.pas
* create_for_in_loop: adjustment because of changed procedure and inheritance type
- ncgrtti.pas
* TRTTIWriter.write_rtti_data: disable for helpers for now (I need to check what Delphi does here)
- ncgld.pas
* tcgloadnode.pass_generate_code: virtual methods of helpers are treated as normal methods
- ncgcal.pas
* tcgcallnode.pass_generate_code: virtual methods of helpers are treated as normal methods
- ncal.pas
* tcallnode.pass_typecheck: adjust for extension of tcallcandidates constructor
- htypechk.pas
* tcallcandidates declaration: extend some methods to (dis)allow the search for helper methods (needed for inherited)
* tcallcandidates.collect_overloads_in_struct:
** search first in helpers for methods and stop if none carries the "overload" flag
** move the addition of the procsyms to an extra nested procedure because it's used for helper methods and normal struct methods

* Pass dispinterfaces with correct type (varDispatch).
* Pass skipped parameters as EmptyParam (vType=varError, vError=DISP_E_PARAMNOTFOUND), as COM requires to preserve correct argument count and positions.
* Since ttempcreatenode.size can be set after creation, don't calculate parameter size in first pass, this simplifies things a bit.
git-svn-id: trunk@16863 -
* Create implicit access methods, which hold type information for property parameters and allow parsing/typechecking occur the same way as for regular (non-dispinterface) properties.
+ Introduce separate proctypeoptions for property access methods. They are translated into correct dispatch call types and used to distinguish property access from regular method calls.
* Bump PPU version because new information has been introduced.
- Code specific to dispinterface properties in expression parser is no longer necessary, removed.
* Allow access to default property with [] for dispinterfaces.
+ Extended the test with basic correctness checks for property dispatching.

git-svn-id: branches/paul/extended_records@16560 -
- rename tprocdef._class to tprocdef.struct and change the type from tobjectdef to tabstractrecorddef because methods can belong not to classes only now but to records too
- replace in many places use of current_objectdef to current_structdef with typcast where is needed
- add an argument to comp_expr, expr, factor, sub_expr to notify that we are searching type only symbol to solve the problem with records,objects,classes which contains fields with the same name as previosly declared type (like:
HWND = type Handle;
rec = record
hWnd: HWND;
end;)
- disable check in factor_read_id which was made for object that only static fields can be accessed as TObjectType.FieldName outside the object because it makes SizeOf(TObjectType.FieldName) imposible and since the same method was extended to handle records it also breaks a52 package compilation
- rename tcallcandidates.collect_overloads_in_class to tcallcandidates.collect_overloads_in_struct and addapt the code to handle overloads in records too
- fix searchsym_type to search also in object ancestors if we found an object symtable
- add pd_record, pd_notrecord flags to mark procedure modifies which can or can't be used with records. Disallow the next modifiers for records: abstract, dynamic, export, external, far, far16, final, forward, internconst, internproc, interrupt, message, near, override, public, reintroduce, virtual, weakexternal,
Allow the next modifiers for records: static

o All signed and unsigned ordinal types are made automatable.
o Non-automatable types are rejected when parsing dispinterface declarations.
o Simplified translate_disp_call() a bit.
o translate_disp_call() now supports non-automatable parameters which can be typecasted to automatable ones. UnicodeString is not yet there, though.
o Partially fixes#17904: parameters of Variant Dispatch calls are passed by reference when they can be mapped to a variable.

* renamed tabstractprocdef.requiredargarea into callerargareasize,
and also added calleeargareasize field; added init_paraloc_info(side)
method to init the parameter locations and init those size fields and
replaced all "if not procdef.has_paraloc_info then ..." blocks with
procdef.init_paraloc_info(callersize)"
* moved detection of stack tainting parameters from psub to
symdef/tabstractprocdef
+ added tcallparanode.contains_stack_tainting_call(), which detects
whether a parameter contains a call that makes use of stack paramters
* record for each parameter whether or not any following parameter
contains a call with stack parameters; if not, in case the current
parameter itself is a stack parameter immediately place it in its
final location also for use_fixed_stack platforms rather than
first putting it in a temporary location (part of mantis #17442)
* on use_fixed_stack platforms, always first evaluate parameters
containing a stack tainting call, since those force any preceding
stack parameters of the current call to be stored in a temp location
and copied to the final location afterwards
git-svn-id: trunk@16050 -
don't have any parameters in most expressions, rather than using them
as the procvar itself) -> replaced procvar<>nil with assigned(procvar)
in test/tmacprocvar.pp to keep it compiling (otherwise it now called
the procvar); necessary in combination with the next fix to compile
webtbs/tw17379a.pp
* automatically disambiguate the use of the function name when used as a
parameter in macpas mode (if the formal parameter type is a procvar
type then interpret it as the current function definition, otherwise
as the current function result) (mantis #17379)
git-svn-id: trunk@15971 -
+ support for nested procedural variables:
o activate using {$modeswitch nestedprocvars} (compatible with all
regular syntax modes, enabled by default for MacPas mode)
o activating this mode switch changes the way the frame pointer is
passed to nested routines into the same way that Delphi uses (always
passed via the stack, and if necessary removed from the stack by
the caller) -- Todo: possibly also allow using this parameter
passing convention without enabling nested procvars, maybe even
by default in Delphi mode, see mantis #9432
o both global and nested routines can be passed to/assigned to a
nested procvar (and called via them). Note that converting global
*procvars* to nested procvars is intentionally not supported, so
that this functionality can also be implemented via compile-time
generated trampolines if necessary (e.g. for LLVM or CIL backends
as long as they don't support the aforementioned parameter passing
convention)
o a nested procvar can both be declared using a Mac/ISO Pascal style
"inline" type declaration as a parameter type, or as a stand-alone
type (in the latter case, add "is nested" at the end in analogy to
"of object" for method pointers -- note that using variables of
such a type is dangerous, because if you call them once the enclosing
stack frame no longer exists on the stack, the results are
undefined; this is however allowed for Metaware Pascal compatibility)
git-svn-id: trunk@15694 -
+ {$modeswitch objectivec2}, which is required before you can use
Objective-C 2.0 features (such as the above). It automatically
also implies {$modeswitch objectivec1}
+ genloadfield() helper to load a field of a node representing
a record/object/class
git-svn-id: trunk@15460 -
represent complex locations (required for full x86-64 ABI support,
which is not yet implemented) -> lots of special result handling
code has been removed and replaced by the parameter handling
routines
+ added support for composite parameters (and hence function
results) to tcg.a_load_ref_cgpara() (so it can be used for
handling, e.g., 64 bit parameters on 32 bit platforms)
* the above fixed writing past the end of allocated memory when
handling records returned in registers on x86-64 whose size is
not a multiple of 8 bytes (mantis #16357)
- removed the x86-64 and PPC specific versions of a_load_ref_cgpara(),
as they are now handled correctly by the generic version
* moved the responsibility of allocating tcgpara cpu registers
(using paramanager.allocparaloc()) from the callers of
cg.a_load*_cgpara() to the cg.a_load*_cgpara() methods
themselves (so the register allocation can be done efficiently
when dealing with function results)
* for the above, renamed paramanager.alloc/freeparaloc() to
paramanager.alloc/freecgpara(), and use paramanager.allocparaloc()
to allocate individual pcgparalocations instead
* fixed the register size of SSE2 function result registers for
x86-64 (when used for floating point), which results in removing
a few superfluous "movs? %xmm0,%xmm0" instructions
* fixed compilation of paramanagers of avr, m68k and mips after r13695
and also updated them for these new changes
git-svn-id: trunk@15350 -
tobjectdef.needs_inittable returns false for classes nowadays (and already
since quite some time)
* nevertheless replaced all usages in the compiler of x.needs_inittable with
is_managed_type(x) (in case some other condition is added again in the
future) and removed all remaining accompanying "and not is_class(x)"
checks
git-svn-id: trunk@15320 -
passing any value to that parameter which has the same size as the
parameter (it basically acts as if there is an explicit type conversion
to the parameter type around the value at the caller side). If a procvar
has an univ parameter, all procvars whose corresponding parameter
has the same size as that univ parameter are similarly compatible.
This transparent compatibility can however cause crashes in case of
of the procvars when one of the types is passed on the stack and the
other isn't (because then the called routine will a) load the parameter
from a wrong location and b) pop the wrong amount off of the stack at
then end). Therefore FPC will warn in most cases where this can happen.

to objc_msgSend* into the callnode. This allows reusing the current
call node rather than having to create a new one, and is in particular
necessary because even though the objc_msgSend* functions are declared
as varargs, you're supposed to typecast them to the function type
describing the method before calling them (so they should *not* use
varargs calling conventions!)
* for the above, a field called fobjcforcedprocname has been added to the
callnode, which can be set to a string that will be used as the (mangled)
name of the function to call instead of the mangled name of the procsym
-> fixes calling obj-c methods with floating point arguments on ppc

rtl/inc/objcbase.pas), including derived classes
o support for converting methods of objcclasses into selectors

o support for loading from/storing to fields of objcclasses
o support for calling Objective-C methods using regular
Object Pascal syntax (see tests/test/tobjc1.pp)
o some things that are known to be not yet working:
o automatic conversion from ID to objcclasses and back
o declaring and implementing new objcclasses/methods in Pascal code
o debug information (objcclasses are currently plain pointers
as far as the debugger knows)
git-svn-id: branches/objc@13162 -
inlining, because that results in alignment settings of "0"
(voidtype.savesize = 0 -> size2align(0) = 0), which is interpreted
by the code generators as unaligned (and is actually even invalid
nowadays). This caused errors on NDS when writing to memory mapped
I/O devices (mantis #13343)
git-svn-id: trunk@12916 -
alignment for each memory reference (mantis #12137, and
test/packages/fcl-registry/tregistry1.pp on sparc). This also
enables better code generation for packed records in many cases.
o several changes were made to the compiler to minimise the chances
of accidentally forgetting to set the alignment of memory references
in the future:
- reference_reset*() now has an extra alignment parameter
- location_reset() can now only be used for non LOC_(C)REFERENCE,
use location_reset_ref() for those (split the tloc enum so the
compiler can catch errors using range checking)

+ -Owoptvmts whole program optimisation which replaces vmt entries
with method names of child classes in case the current class'
method can never be called (e.g., because this class is never
instantiated). As a result, such methods can then be removed
by dead code removal/smart linking (not much effect for either
the compiler, lazarus or a trivial lazarus app though).

+ symbol liveness wpo information extracted from smartlinked programs
(-OW/-Owsymbolliveness)
+ use symbol liveness information to improve devirtualisation (don't
consider classes created in code that has been dead code stripped).
This requires at least two passes of using wpo (first uses dead code
info to locate classes that are constructed only in dead code,
second pass uses this info to potentially further devirtualise).
I.e.:
1) generate initial liveness and devirtualisation feedback
fpc -FWtt.wpo -OWall tt.pp -Xs- -CX -XX
2) use previously generated feedback, and regenerate new feedback
based on this (i.e., disregard classes created in dead code)
fpc -FWtt-1.wpo -OWall -Fwtt.wo -Owall tt.pp -Xs- -CX -XX
3) use the newly generated feedback (in theory, it is possible
that even more opportunities pop up afterwards; you can
continue until the program does not get smaller anymore)
fpc -Fwtt-1.wpo -Owall tt.pp -CX -XX
* changed all message() to cgmessage() calls so the set codegenerror
* changed static fsectionhandlers field to a regular field called
fwpocomponents
* changed registration of wpocomponents: no longer happens in the
initialization section of their unit, but in the InitWpo routine
(which has been moved from the woinfo to the wpo unit). This way
you can register different classes based on the target/parameters.
+ added static method to twpocomponentbase for checking whether
the command line parameters don't conflict with the requested
optimisations (e.g. generating liveness info requires that
smartlinking is turned on)
+ added static method to twpocomponentbase to request the
section name
