+ Added read/write notifications of variables. These will be usefull
for providing information for several optimizations. For example
the value of the loop variable of a for loop does matter is the
variable is read after the for loop, but if it's no longer used
or written, it doesn't matter and this can be used to optimize
the loop code generation.
* Moved pocall_internconst to po_internconst because it is not a
calling type at all and it conflicted when inlining of these small
functions was requested
+ ret_in_reg to replace ret_in_acc
(fix some register allocation bugs at the same time)
+ save_std_register now has an extra parameter which is the
usedinproc registers
* The whilen and repeatn are now completely unified into whilerepeatn. This
allows the state tracker to change while nodes automatically into
repeat nodes.
* Resulttypepass improvements to the notn. 'not not a' is optimized away and
'not(a>b)' is optimized into 'a<=b'.
* Resulttypepass improvements to the whilerepeatn. 'while not a' is optimized
by removing the notn and later switchting the true and falselabels. The
same is done with 'repeat until not a'.
* foreach gets extra argument for passing local data to the
iterator function
* -CR checks also class typecasts at runtime by changing them
into as
* fixed compiler to cycle with the -CR option
* fixed stabs with elf writer, finally the global variables can
be watched
* removed a lot of routines from cga unit and replaced them by
calls to cgobj
* u32bit-s32bit updates for and,or,xor nodes. When one element is
u32bit then the other is typecasted also to u32bit without giving
a rangecheck warning/error.
* fixed pascal calling method with reversing also the high tree in
the parast, detected by tcalcst3 test
+ first parameter offset in stack now portable
* rename some constants
+ move some cpu stuff to other units
- remove unused constents
* fix stacksize for some targets
* fix generic size problems which depend now on EXTEND_SIZE constant
error was found
* generic changeregsize(reg,size) for i386 register resizing
* removed some more routines from cga unit
* fixed returnvalue handling
* fixed default stacksize of linux and go32v2, 8kb was a bit small :-)
* LOC_CONSTANT added for better constant handling
* secondadd splitted in multiple routines
* location_force_reg added for loading a location to a register
of a specified size
* secondassignment parses now first the right and then the left node
(this is compatible with Kylix). This saves a lot of push/pop especially
with string operations
* adapted some routines to use the new cg methods
* register allocation is now handled by a class and is mostly processor
independent (+rgobj.pas and i386/rgcpu.pas)
* temp allocation is now handled by a class (+tgobj.pas, -i386\tgcpu.pas)
* some small improvements and fixes to the optimizer
* some register allocation fixes
* some fpuvaroffset fixes in the unary minus node
* push/popusedregisters is now called rg.save/restoreusedregisters and
(for i386) uses temps instead of push/pop's when using -Op3 (that code is
also better optimizable)
* fixed and optimized register saving/restoring for new/dispose nodes
* LOC_FPU locations now also require their "register" field to be set to
R_ST, not R_ST0 (the latter is used for LOC_CFPUREGISTER locations only)
- list field removed of the tnode class because it's not used currently
and can cause hard-to-find bugs
longer longint($ffffffff), but just $fffffff in psystem)
* small additional fix in 64bit rangecheck code generation for 32 bit
processors
* adaption of ranges required the matching talgorithm used for selecting
which overloaded procedure to call to be adapted. It should now always
select the closest match for ordinal parameters.
+ inttostr(qword) in sysstr.inc/sysstrh.inc
+ abs(int64), sqr(int64), sqr(qword) in systemh.inc/generic.inc (previous
fixes were required to be able to add them)
* is_in_limit() moved from ncal to types unit, should always be used
instead of direct comparisons of low/high values of orddefs because
qword is a special case
