ansistrings are represented by nil
* fixed type conversion of constant empty ansistring/unicodestring to
pchar/pwidechar on the JVM target

verifier when -Cpjvmdalvik is used (including debug information). Using
-Cpjvmdalvik changes the semantics at the language-level in one case:
boolean(bytevar) will no longer return a boolean that contains the same
value as bytevar did, but will map the value to 0/1 (that also means that
such expressions cannot be passed to var-parameters in case of
-Cpjvmdalvik). Code compiled with -Cpjvmdalvik will also work fine on
the regular JVM, but it may be somewhat slower (it won't necessarily
be slower on Dalvik, because the .class -> .dex transformation
applies many optimizations itself)

those are also supported by the Java language (intftype.class) and required
in equivalent Pascal expressions (such as JLClass(intftype))
git-svn-id: branches/jvmbackend@19742 -
as far as Java is concerned, they're now all arrays of JLObject.
When loading a value from them, we typecast the loaded value
to the appropriate type. This allows typecasting one pointer
type to another without getting verification errors (since an
"array of JLObject" is not compatible with "array of JLString")
- no longer allow dereferencing untyped pointers on the JVM
target, since that always results in invalid bytecode
git-svn-id: branches/jvmbackend@18819 -
unicodestring = java.lang.String. The reason this was the default in
the past is that this was the first string type that was implemented,
and without it being the default most code involving string operations
would fail. Now the default strings types are the same as for other
targets
+ new {$modeswitch unicodestrings} directive, that when activated
*together* with {$h+},
1) changes char into an alias for widechar
2) changes string into an alias for unicodestring
3) changes the preferred string evaluation type (in case of uncertainty)
to unicodestring
{$modeswitch unicodestrings} with {$h-} does not change anything at all
regarding the string type (it still changes the char type)
+ new uuchar unit that redefines char as widechar, and which is automatically
included by the compiler if {$modeswitch unicodestrings} is enabled
git-svn-id: branches/jvmbackend@18781 -
(make_field_static() ) and replaced semi-duplicates of that
code with calls to this routine
* made the handling of static fields for the JVM target more
similar to that on the other targets, so that class properties
now also work there (-> updated JVM-specific code in several
places to deal with this new handling)
git-svn-id: branches/jvmbackend@18723 -
on the caller side whether it's a normal or class method that we are
calling, add the self-class parameter inside the invoke method if
necessary (by simply counting the number of parameters and inserting
it if we're one short)
git-svn-id: branches/jvmbackend@18699 -
o every porocedural variable type is represented by a class with one
public "invoke" method whose signature matches the signature of the
procvar
o internally, dispatching happens via java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke().
WARNING: while this allows calling private/protected or other methods
that are normally not accessible from another context, a security
manger can override this. If such a security manager is installed,
most procvars will cause security exceptions
o such dispatching also requires that all arguments are wrapped, but
that's done in the compiler-generated body of the invoke method,
so that procvars can also be called conveniently from Java code
o typecasting between a procedure of object and tmethod is supported,
as well as Delphi-style replacing of only the method pointer via
@procvar1=@procvar2.
o nested procvars are not yet supported, but most of the basic
infrastructure for them is already present
* all units/programs now get an internal __FPC_JVM_Module_Class_Alias$
type when compiled for the JVM target, which is an "external" class
that maps to the unit name. This is required to look up the
JLRMethod instances for regular functions/procedures
+ new tabstractprocdef.copyas() method that allows to create a procvar
from a procdef and vice versa
git-svn-id: branches/jvmbackend@18690 -
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.
git-svn-id: branches/jvmbackend@18675 -
o sets of enums are handled as JUEnumSet instances, others as JUBitSet
derivatives (both smallsets and varsets, to make interoperability with
Java easier)
o special handling of set constants: these have to be constructed at run
time. In case of constants in the code, create an internal constsym to
represent them. These and regular constsyms are then aliased by an
another internal staticvarsym that is used to initialise them in the
unit initialisation code.
o until they are constructed at run time, set constants are encoded as
constant Java strings (with the characters containing the set bits)
o hlcgobj conversion of tcginnode.pass_generate_code() for the genjumps
part (that's the only part of the generic code that's used by the JVM
target)
o as far as explicit typecasting support is concerned, currently the
following ones are supported (both from/to setdefs): ordinal types,
enums, any other set types (whose size is the same on native targets)
o enum setdefs also emit signatures
o overloading routines for different ordinal set types, or for different
enum set types, is not supported on the JVM target
git-svn-id: branches/jvmbackend@18662 -
(cannot reuse the memory location on the JVM)
* optimized int_to_int conversions for certain smaller->larger types
in mem locations (can reuse the memory location on the JVM, because
stack locations are always at least 4 bytes)
git-svn-id: branches/jvmbackend@18622 -
JDK class-style enums rather than plain ordinals like in Pascal
o for Pascal code, nothing changes, except that for the JVM target
you can always typecast any enum into a class instance (to interface
with the JDK)
o to Java programs, FPC enums look exactly like Java enum types
git-svn-id: branches/jvmbackend@18620 -
so that the result type of random dynamic array expressions doesn't suddenly
get changed into open array (causes internalerror if the size is requested),
and instead simply change the conversion type to tc_equal
git-svn-id: branches/jvmbackend@18605 -
(non-dynamic arrays, records, shortstrings)
- removed the ability to typecast such types directly into related class
types, you have to use the @-operator first now to get a pointer to
the type
o updated the RTL and internal compiler code to properly use this
new convention
o allowed removing several special cases from
tjvmtypeconvnode.target_specific_general_typeconv(), and that
method can probably be removed completely over time
* no longer give compile time errors for pointer-related typecasts that
will fail at run time, because the checking was too complex and could
be worked around via actual pointer typecasts anyway
* removed some unnecessary checkcast operations (for shortstring/
shortstringclass)
git-svn-id: branches/jvmbackend@18574 -
o support for ansistring constants. It's done via a detour because the
JVM only supports UTF-16 string constants (no array of byte or anything
like that): store every ansicharacter in the lower 8 bits of an
UTF-16 constant string, and at run time copy the characters to an
ansistring. The alternative is to generate code that stores every
character separately to an array.
o the base ansistring support is implemented in a class called
AnsistringClass, and an ansistring is simply an instance of this
class under the hood
o the compiler currently does generate nil pointers as empty
ansistrings unlike for unicodestrings, where we always
explicitly generate an empty string. The reason is that
unicodestrings are the same as JLString and hence common
for Java interoperation, while ansistrings are unlikely to
be used in interaction with external Java code
* fixed indentation
git-svn-id: branches/jvmbackend@18562 -
so it can be intercepted by the JVM backend (it has to create an actual
array)
+ JVM support for the elem_2_open_array hook
git-svn-id: branches/jvmbackend@18561 -
voidpointerdef to java_jlobject (they're generated by generic code
in nmem; avoids an ifdef for the jvm target there)
