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

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)

+ initial implementation of whole-program optimisation framework
+ implementation of whole-program devirtualisation
o use:
a) generate whole-program optimisation information (no need
to completely compile the program and all of its units
with -OW/-FW, only the main program is sufficient)
fpc -OWdevirtcalls -FWmyprog.wpo myprog
b) use it to optimise the program
fpc -B -Owdevirtcalls -Fwmyprog.wpo myprog
(the -B is not required, but only sources recompiled during
the second pass will actually be optimised -- if you want,
you can even rebuild the rtl devirtualised for a particular
program; and these options can obviously also be used
together with regular optimisation switches)
o warning:
- there are no checks yet to ensure that you do not use
units optimised for a particular program with another
program (or with a changed version of the same program)

+ 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

the blocknode already having a resultdef set)

the typeinfo
