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)

* extracted code to detect constructed class/object types from
tcallnode.gen_vmt_tree into its own method to avoid clutter
* detect x.classtype.create constructs (with classtype = the
system.tobject.classtype method), and treat them as if a
"class of x" has been instantiated rather than a
"class of tobject". this required storing the instantiated
classrefs in their own array though, because at such a
point we don't have a "class of x" tdef available (so
now "x", and all other defs instantiated via a classref,
are now stored as tobjectdefs in a separate array)

+ -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

It is done in the following way:
When unit is compiled, .rc file are compiled to .res and list of unit's resource files is stored in .ppu
Before final linking all program's .res files are collected into global .res file (.res files are easily concatenated).
Then this global .res files is compiled to single .or file, which is linked to executable.
As a result global resource index is created and the problem is fixed.
Old resource processing behavior still supported when tresinfo.rcbin is not set for target.
New resource processing is activated for windows and linux. Cross compiled windres can be used to compile .rc files on linux.
git-svn-id: trunk@7515 -
* varsets ({$packset x}) are now supported on big endian targets
* gdb now displays sets properly on big endian systems
* cleanup of generic set code (in, include/exclude, helpers), all
based on "bitpacked array[] of 0..1" now
* there are no helpers available yet to convert sets from the old to
the new format, because the set format will change again slightly
in the near future (so that e.g. a set of 24..31 will be stored in
1 byte), and creating two classes of set conversion helpers would
confuse things (i.e., it's not recommended to use trunk currently for
programs which load sets stored to disk by big endian programs compiled
by previous FPC versions)
* cross-endian compiling has been tested and still works, but one case
is not supported: compiling a compiler for a different endianess
using a starting compiler from before the current revision (so first
cycle natively, and then use the newly created compiler to create a
cross-compiler)
