symtable.pas:
  + add new tsymbol_search_flag type which can be passed to various searchsym* routines
  + add support to not call "addsymref"
  + add new searchsym_with_flags function that calls searchsym_maybe_with_symoption
  * adjust searchsym_maybe_with_symoption, searchsym_in_class & searchsym_in_helper to use new flag type instead of Boolean arguments
  * adjust searchsym & searchsym_with_symoption which call the modified functions
nutils.pas, handle_staticfield_access:
  * adjust searchsym_in_class call
pexpr.pas, handle_factor_typenode, postfixoperators, factor:

fmodule.pas, tmodule:
  + add genericdummysyms field which is a TFPHashObjectList that contains TFPObjectList instances per generic dummy that in turn contains tgenericdummysyms instances
pgenutil.pas:
  + add function split_generic_name to split a generic name into non-generic name and count value of type parameters
  + add function resolve_generic_dummysym which tries to use the new genericdummysyms field to find the real symbol of a dummy sym

344571cb4e Added support for type helpers. In non Delphi modes they use "type helper" and in mode Delphi they use "record helper". They can also be used on constants.
symconst.pas:
  + extend "thelpertype" by "ht_type" which tells the code in "pdecobj.parse_extended_type" that a type helper declaration has been parsed
node.pas:
  + add a constant which identifies all constant node types
ptype.pas:
  + read_named_type: add a parameter "hadtypetoken" to tell the code whether a "type" token had been parsed before
  + read_named_type: if an identifier "helper" is parsed we need to check whether "hadtypetoken" is true and the modeswitch "m_class" is set, but the "m_delphi" one is not; in that case we have a "type helper" declaration
pgenutil.pas, generate_specialization:
  * adjust call to read_named_type
pdecl.pas, types_dec:
  * adjust call to read_named_type

pdecobj.pas:
  * parse_extended_type: extend for correct handling of primitive types (includes Delphi compatible handling as well) and reject types that are explicitly not allowed
  * method_dec: require "static" for class methods in type helpers
  * method_doc: allow constructors for type helpers as well
paramgr.pas, tparamanager:
  * set_common_funcretloc_info: handle type helper constructors like record constructors
  * handle_common_ret_in_param: the "self" value of a type helper constructor is also returned in a parameter
pexpr.pas:
  + add a function to postfixoperators which tries to find and apply a type helper for a given type
  * postfixoperators: try to apply type helpers for ordinal constants
  * postfixoperators: use the correct string type for string constants
  * postfixoperators: try to apply type helpers for enum constants
  * postfixoperators: try to apply type helpers for arrays
  * postfixoperators: try to apply type helpers for Variant
  * postfixoperators: try to apply type helpers for pointer types
  * postfixoperators: try to apply type helpers for other types
  * factor: check postfixoperators after _REALNUMBER, _CCHAR, _CWCHAR, _TRUE and _FALSE
  * factor: also check postfixoperators if a _POINT follows a _NIL

symdef.pas, tdefawaresymtablestack.addhelpers:
  * use "generate_objectpascal_helper_key" to generate the key
symtable.pas:
  + add function to generate the key value for the map of extended types using the extended def
  * adjust "search_last_objectpascal_helper" and "search_objectpascal_helper" to handle primitive types as well
  * use the new "generate_objectpascal_helper_key" function to generate the key

pparautl.pas:
  * insert_self_and_vmt_para: don't insert the $vmt symbol for record or type helpers (ToDo: check whether class helpers really need the symbol as well)
  * insert_self_and_vmt_para: pass "self" as var parameter for type helpers as well
psub.pas, generate_bodyentry_block: 
  * also allow type helpers for constructor methods
ncal.pas, tcallnode.gen_self_tree:
  * also use a temp variable for type helper constructors
ncgcal.pas, tcgcallnode.secondcallparan:
  * allow Pointers to be passed as address param if it is the Self value of a type helper extending a pointer type
  * correctly handle the location in case of type helper constructors

+ add tests

b5827ce363 Move the handling of "misstyled" floating point constants like "2." or "2.e10" from the scanner to the parser. This way type helpers calls for integer constants can be parsed correctly in the future.
Note: the error messages for incorrect "misstyled" floating point numbers (e.g. "2e10foo") have changed because of this.

scanner.pas, tscannerfile.readtoken:
  instead of tokenizing "2.", "2.e10", "2.e+10" and "2.e-10" as "_REALNUMBER" tokenize them as "_INTCONST _POINT", "_INTCONST _POINT _ID", "_INTCONST _POINT _ID _PLUS _INTCONST" "_INTCONST _POINT _ID _PLUS _INTCONST"; tokenizing of normal floating constants is not changed

pexpr.pas:
  factor: 
    * extract the code for creating a new constant floating point from "factor" into a new function "real_const_node_from_pattern"
    + allow the parsing of postfixoperators for integer constants if a "." is encountered
  + postfixoperators: check for a "misstyled" floating point number if an ordinal const (not an enum and not a boolean) is encountered (the code is already partially prepared for type helper support)
  
+ Added tests

4adb36e8da Add support for generic type constraints. They are currently only useful to stop specialization of a generic. The parsing of a generic is still too lax and needs to be changed in the future...
symconst.pas:
  + extend "tdefoptions" by a "df_genconstraint" which will be used to mark dummy defs that should mainly satisfy the compiler's type checking without to much changes
symsym.pas:
  + add a class "tgenericconstraintdata" which will hold information about the constraints associated with a specific generic type parameter (designed for future extensions)
  + extend "ttypesym" by a reference to a "tgenericconstraintdata" which is written to the ppu only if needed
symtype.pas:
  + add a pointer to "tderef" as this is needed for the ppu reading/writing code for the "tgenericconstraintdata"
pdecl.pas, types_dec:
  + call "parse_generic_parameters" so that constraints are allowed
pgenutil.pas:
  + extend "generate_specialization" by a "parsedpos" to give in the file position of the first parsed parameter (needed for correct error locations when checking the constraints)
  + add an overloaded call of "generate_specialization" to differentiate between the use cases "first parameter parsed by generate_specialization" and "first parameter parsed by other code"; this also allows to write the "fillchar" for the "parampos" parameter only once ( => otherwise a warning is triggered => error in compilation)
  + extend the "parse_generic_specialization_types" by a "poslist" parameter which will contain the positions of all parsed type parameters (can only be used in the case that all parameters are parsed)
  * move the original code of "parse_generic_specialization_types" to a new procedure "parse_generic_specialization_types_internal" which take an additional "parsedpos" parameter which will be added to the "poslist" before all others; "parse_generic_specialization_types" calls this new procedure with a dummy argument (which won't be used)
  + extend "parse_generic_parameters" by the parsing of generic constraints which constructs correct defs for the parameters and fills in the new "tgenericconstraintdata" object for each parameter (note: the "constructor" constraint is only parsed for Delphi compatibility and basically means the same as a "class" constraint... (it's a relict of Delphi.NET))
  * adjust "insert_generic_parameter_types" as specializations and generics can no longer be differed by whether the type parameters are of type "undefineddef"
pdecsub.pas, parse_proc_head, consume_generic_interface:
  * adjust call to "generate_specialization"
  + add a new function "check_generic_constraints" which is used from within "generate_specialization" to ensure that the given specialization parameters are compatible with the constraints of the generic parameters
ptype.pas:
  * single_type: adjust call to "generate_specialization"
  * read_named_type, expr_type: adjust call to "generate_specialization"
  + write_persistent_type_info: don't write typeinfo for constraints
pexpr.pas, sub_expr:
  * adjust call to "generate_specialization"
* adjusted ppudump, because of added "tdefoptions.df_genconstraint" value

+ added tests for generic constraints
* modified test for class helper inside a generic which extends a class type parameter
+ added test for record helper inside a generic which extends a record type parameter

dbc410de63 Allow the usage of a generic's name without type arguments inside of nested classes inside the generic. This fixes Mantis #19499, but also Mantis #18688.
* symtable.pas:
    + add function "get_generic_in_hierarchy_by_name" which returns a def with the name of the symbol in the given object/record hierarchy (useful only in non-Delphi modes)
    + add function "return_specialization_of_generic" which returns the specialization def of a given class inside the given object/record hierarchy
* pexpr.pas, factor, factor_read_id: instead of checking whether the names of the found symbol and the current_structdef are equal, check whether the generic appears in hierarchy of current_structdef
* ptype.pas:
    * id_type: check whether the found symbol is a generic dummy and we are currently parsing a generic then return the correct def of the generic instead of the dummy one
    * single_type: when using the generic type without type parameters the def must resolve to the specialized def when specializing the class instead of the generic def which the dummy symbol points to
    * read_named_type, expr_type: like in "single_type" we need to resolve the use of the parameterless type name to the correct specialization def instead of the generic def
* pdecobj.pas, object_dec: also set the typesym of the current_structdef as otherwise some assumptions about generics with the above mentioned changes aren't valid anymore (like the def the typesym is unset again afterwards)
+ add tests for both bug reports (the one for 19499 is slightly modified so that it does not contain any errors)

o support for the new codepage-aware ansistrings in the jvm branch
   o empty ansistrings are now always represented by a nil pointer rather than
     by an empty string, because an empty string also has a code page which
     can confuse code (although this will make ansistrings harder to use
     in Java code)
   o more string helpers code shared between the general and jvm rtl
   o support for indexbyte/word in the jvm rtl (warning: first parameter
     is an open array rather than an untyped parameter there, so
     indexchar(pcharvar^,10,0) will be equivalent to
     indexchar[pcharvar^],10,0) there, which is different from what is
     intended; changing it to an untyped parameter wouldn't help though)
   o default() support is not yet complete
   o calling fpcres is currently broken due to limitations in
     sysutils.executeprocess() regarding handling unix quoting and
     the compiler using the same command lines for scripts and directly
     calling external programs
   o compiling the Java compiler currently requires adding ALLOW_WARNINGS=1

bd19a16be9 Add support for Default() intrinsic. For now this is only (fully) supported
in code and not in constants. In the case of primitive types constant nodes
are used while complex types like arrays, records and objects use a local
variable which is initialized to zero once at the entry of the method (the
variable is reused if Default() is used for the same type multiple times in
the same method). For this a new compilerproc was added which uses FillChar
to initialize the given memory area to zero.
This fixes Mantis #9420.

+ psystem.pas: Added Default symbol to system unit
+ htypechk.pas: Added function "is_valid_for_default" which checks recursively
                whether the given type can be used with Default at all. 
                Forbidden types are files, helpers, ObjC and C++ types. This
                check is used for records, arrays and objects only if the mode
                is a non-Delphi one, as Delphi ignores these types on lower
                levels.
+ msg/errore.msg: Added error message for unsupported types for Default()
+ symconst.pas: Added a new enum value vo_is_default_var which is used for the
                local variables utilized by Default() so their initalization
                and finalization can be avoided.
+ pexpr.pas: Add handling of Default() intrinsic to "statement_syssym"
+ ninl.pas: Extended tinlinenode by a method which returns the correct node for
            a Default() and used that method in handle_typecheck.
* ncgutil.pas: Check for new flag "vo_is_default_var" when initializing and
               finalizing local variables.
* ppu.pas: increase PPU version
+ psub.pas: 
  * Added a new routine which zeros defaultvars of a symtable.
  * Use this routine inside "initializevars".
  * Also use this routine to initialize the staticsymtable of the unit/program.
* Adjusted ppudump, because of the new enum value.
+ Added implementation of fpc_zeromem to system unit.
+ Added tests for Default()

9cb16c950f This fixes Mantis #20851 .
For the solution symbols will now contain a "sp_explicitrename" flag if they
were created through a type rename. This is necessary, because we can't
decide whether a type is a renamed generic para which contains by default a
reference to the default undefined def. Using individual undefined defs will
lead to duplicate identifiers as they are created before a symtable was
pushed (thus they'll ba part of whatever symtable is at the top). 

+ symconst.pas, tsymoption:
        Add a new option "sp_explicitrename" which will be used to track type
        renames.
+ pdecl.pas, type_dec:
        Set the new flag if we're dealing with a type rename
* pexpr.pas, factor_read_id:
        If we have an undefined def that is also a rename then we assume that
        it's a rename of a generic parameter
* utils/ppudump.pp:
        Adjustment because of change to tsymoption
* utils/ppu.pp:
        Increase PPU version

    The RTL can also be used to target earlier versions of the Android
    platform, but you manually have to take care of not using APIs that
    weren't available yet. Adding separate units for separate platform
    versions would only partly solve the problem, because some of the
    classes used inside the system unit have also changed across
    versions.

    Use -Tandroid while compiling to select the Android OS as target
    platform.

pexpr.pas, post_comp_expr_gendef:
This is not the result you are looking for: The result of "postfixoperators" is only set to true if either "again" was "true" once or the node was changed to an errornode. So using the result for deciding whether we overwrite the def or not is incorrect. So just call "postfixoperators" and process the returned node accordingly.

Fix introduced regressions.

pgenutil.pas, generate_specialization:
* If we are parsing the result type of a function or operator that belongs to a generic (parse_generic is true) we need to accept also "_LT" and "_GT" as for this the "block_type" is NOT set to one of "bt_type", "bt_var_type", "bt_const_type" and only there "_LSHARPBRACKET" and "_RSHARPBRACKET" are returned by the scanner. This is part of the fix for webtbs\tw18567.pp.
* In non—Delphi modes if we encounter a specialization of the currently parsed class/record (using "specialization"!) the given "tt" will be an errordef (because the def of the generic's symbol was not yet set to "current_structdef"). To solve this we check in this case whether the calculated generic name is equal to that of the "current_structdef" and simply return that as specialized def. This fixes test\tgeneric11.pp.
* When searching for the generic symbol search if the generic belongs to a class or record then we need to search for it in the class or record. This fixes webtbs\tw16090.pp.

ptype.pas
* parse_nested_types: We now return the generic defs for specializations inside generics instead of an undefined def, so we must also parse nested type usages correctly, so that type checks don't fail (undefined defs circumvent them mostly). This fixes webtbs\tw10247.pp.
* single_type: We need to allow _LT as an indication for a Delphi specialization as return types are parsed with block_type not in "bt_type", "bt_var_type", "bt_const_type". This is also a fix a part of the fix for webtbs\tw18567.pp.
* read_named_type, expr_type:
Fixes for test\tgeneric17.pp and test\tgeneric22.pp:
(a) In non-Delphi modes we might encounter usages of the generic dummy symbol inside the generic class belonging to it. This is basically a specialization, but as the reference from the dummy symbol to the "current_structdef" is not yet established (this is done after "read_named_type" in "types_dec" returns) we need to use other ways to check for the valid use of the dummy symbol (basically we check whether the name of the dummy symbol and the name of the current_structdef without the type count match)
(b) For specializations we can check whether the genericdef of the currently parsed structdef (the specialization) is the same as the typedef of the encountered dummy symbol.

pexpr.pas, factor, factor_read_id:
Fixes for test\tgeneric17.pp and test\tgeneric22.pp:
To allow the mentioned fixes in ptype for the same tests to be usable at all we must not return an "identifier not found" error if we encounter such a valid use of a generic dummy symbol.

?commit 7ef252de8023494ee6d39910e289f9e31658d47b
Author: Sven Barth <pascaldragon@minerva>
Date:   Mon Nov 21 17:13:36 2011 +0100

    Fix the compilation of inline specializations of which the generic is derived from another generic.
    
    pgenutil.pas, generate_specialization:
    * Set the "block_type" to "bt_type" when parsing the type parameters, so that the nodes are returned as "ttypenode" instead of e.g. "tloadvmtaddrnode" in case of classes outside of type sections.
    * Set the "block_type" to "bt_type" before calling "read_name_type", so that no unexpected sideeffects happen, because types like classes normally only are declared inside type sections (e.g. for the case a generic class is derived from another generic class a classrefdef for the specialized parent class will be created inside the derived specialized class if the block type is not a type one).

commit 1041a8f7a3a41f4fdf2975ce40055c698281ce71
Author: Sven Barth <pascaldragon@minerva>
Date:   Fri Nov 18 19:03:50 2011 +0100

    Improve inline specializations a bit, so now expressions like "TSomeGeneric<TSomeType>.SomeClassProc OP SomeNonGeneric" is possible. Using another class function of a generic as the right side is not yet working (that still needs some thinking).
    
    To achive this the generalization code must basically continue directly after the "factor" call, so that the operator and the right side are correctly parsed when walking up the call stack. This is done by jumping from the end of the specialization code in the "<"-case to the start of "sub_expr". The freshly generated node (in the above example a callnode) will be passed down the callstack through a new parameter "factornode". If that is set (currently only in the case of a specialization on the left side) "factor" won't be called and the right side will be parsed with the "factornode" as the left side. If it is not set (which is the case for all other calls to "sub_expr" in the unit) then the usual call to "factor" will be done and the result will be used as the left side.

    Fix compilation of "gset.pp" from fcl-stl.
    
    nld.pas:
    Extend ttypenode by a reference to the type symbol. Normally this is simply the typesym of the given def, but for specializations in type sections of generics this is not the case, because generate_specialization will return a reference to the generic definition and not the new one (thus the symbol will be wrong).
    
    ppu.pas:
    Increase PPU version because of the extension of ttypenode.
    
    pexpr.pas:
    * handle_factor_typenode: Extend the function by a "sym" parameter which will normally be "nil". In that case it is set to the def's typesym. The "typesym" field of the created type node is then set to this sym.
    * For now pass nearly always "nil" for the above mentioned sym except inside factor_read_id when we've encountered a typesym.
    
    ptype.pas, read_named_type, expr_type:
    Exchange the "is_owned_by" check with a "sym_is_owned_by" check so that we can correctly detect that we are using a specialized type declaration inside a generic (once nested generic are allowed this condition needs to be checked).

commit 23668d2fc9070afc26b4288ed0db9a8eaf6f40e6
Author: Sven Barth <pascaldragon@minerva>
Date:   Wed Nov 16 07:51:12 2011 +0100

    psub.pas:
    * tcgprocinfo.parse_body: Methods of generic classes need to set "parse_generic" as well, so that variables for "stacked generics" (generic array => generic record) inside the method body are handled correctly.
    * specialize_objectdefs: Don't try to generate method bodies for abstract methods.
    
    pdecvar.pas, read_property_dec:
    Allow specializations for the return types of properties (should they be allowed for index types as well?).
    
    symtable.pas:
    Add a new class "tspecializesymtable" which is basically a globalsymtable but is always assuming to be the current unit. This symtable is used in "generate_specializations" (see below) and is needed to allow visibilty checks for "private", etc. to succeed.
    
    pgenutil.pas, generate_specializations:
    Instead of hackily pushing a symtable that may contain conflicting symbols onto the symtable stack for the specialization, a temporary global symtable using the above mentioned "tspecializesymtable" is created and pushed. After the specialization is done all symbols and defs that were added to the temporary symtable are moved to their final symtable (either the global- or localsymtable of the unit, depending on the current position of compilation). This way symbols are correctly added to a top level symtable, but without potential side effects like resolving the wrong symbol.

Arrays and procvars inside a generic declaration are not declared as generic/specialization anymore (this partly reverts a previous commit). This reduces the problematic cases in the check whether a found def was specialized inside the class (the changed check in read_named_type.expr_type).
It's still not an ideal solution as the usage of generic classes/records (without specialization!) that are declared inside the current parsed class/record will compromise this check again.

We need to flag specializations of record-/objectdef once we have generated their methods otherwise an interesting situation might occur:
The classes in "fgl.pas" implement an enumerator in the generic class "TFPGListEnumerator" and "specialize" that inside themselves. If we now specialize one of the generic classes (e.g. "TFPGList") the "TFPGListEnumerator" is really specialized as well. That means a def is added to the global symtable (the local one in case of a program or library file). If we now use the enumerator class in the same file (e.g. by using a "for ... in", which has a temporary variable of that type) then the methods of the enumerator are specialized again (the def itself is not). To avoid this (and time consuming searches for existing method specializations) we flag the specialized def as "done" once we're finished.

symconst.pas
  * add a new flag "df_methods_specialized" to the "tdefoption" enumeration

psub.pas, process_abstractrecorddef
  * check the def for the "df_methods_specialized" flag and continue only if that is not set

Fix compilation of unit "fgl.pp" and of test "tests/test/tgeneric29.pp".

symtable.pas:
  * reduce the "childdef" parameter of "is_owned_by" from "tabstractrecorddef" to "tdef", so that more primitive defs can be checked as well
  * add a new function "sym_is_owned_by" which is similar to "is_owned_by", but takes a symbol and a symtable as parameter; the owner chain of the symtable is checked until a non-object- and non-record-symtable is reached

ptype.pas:
  * extend "id_type", so that the symbol and the symtable that belongs to the returned def is returned as well
  * this is needed to check inside "single_type" whether a def that is a generic was specialized inside another generic, because in that case the genericdef is returned by "generate_specialization" and not a new specialized def, but the corresponding type symbol (which is different from "hdef.typesym") belongs to the class itself; I need to admit that this solution isn't very clean and one could try to circumvent some of the checks, so I need to find a better detection for such a case (concrete example: the enumerator specialization inside the classes of "fgl.pas")
  * in "read_named_type.expr_type" the check for "df_generic" is extended analogous to the previous change, but instead of relying on the symbol it uses the def. This is needed so that types like method pointers that are defined inside the current generic are not disallowed as they contain the "df_generic" flag as well; like the previous change this change isn't clean either and maybe it's better to remove the inclusion of the "df_generic" flag from everything except records and "objects" inside records/"objects" again. Such a solution will "only" reduce the problem to records and "objects" though...

pgenutil.pas:
  * only add a new undefined def if we're not parsing the parent class or interfaces ("parse_class_parent" is true), otherwise the InternalError regarding the "equal count of defs" will trigger
  * there are now two cases where we need to return a generic def instead of a undefined one when we're parsing a generic:
    a) we have the previously mentioned case that "parse_class_parent" is true
    b) an undefined def was added, but we need to return a generic def, so that checks can be passed
  * use the correct variable when building the generic name, otherwise we get errors like "identifier '$1' not found"
  * don't push the symtable if we're currently parsing the list of interfaces or the parent class, because then e.g. a generic interface will be included in the symtable of the implementing class which isn't what we want; the current solution is not clean though, so this needs to be investigated more
  * Note: In the current state of "generate_specialization" the function could be simplyfied a bit more; this will be done when the implementation is satisfactory enough

* symtable.pas

   - "searchsym_with_symoption" and "searchsym" are based on the same function "maybe_searchsym_with_symoption" which is the extended implementation of "searchsym" (note: object symtables are not yet searched if a symoption is to be looked for)

Switching from overloaded type symbol to unique symbol per generic.

Reasons for the "unique symbol" approach:
- no special search operations for cross unit search needed (which is supported by Delphi) => less performance impact
- no special care needed to really find the correct generic => less increase of parser complexity

Currently all generic tests except tgeneric29.pp compile and inline specializations work as well.

The changes in detail:
* pdecl.pas/types_dec:
- The variables used to hold the final name of the symbol are now prefixed with "gen". In case of non-generics the prefixed ones are equal to the non-prefixed ones (e.g. orgtypename=genorgtypename). In case of a generic symbol the "gen"-variants contain the type parameter count suffix (e.g. '$1' in case of 'TTest<T>') as well.
- The unmodified pattern is used to insert and detect a dummy symbol with that name, so that type declarations and - more important - inline specializations can find that symbol.
- In non-Delphi modes this symbol is also used to detect whether we have a type redefinition which is not allowed currently; its typedef points to the generic def.
- In mode Delphi the def of that dummy symbol (which contains an undefineddef) is modified when a corresponding non-generic type is parsed, so that it contains the def of the real type.

* pdecsub.pas/parse_proc_head
- consume_generic_type_parameter now only parses the type parameters and picks the generic with the correct amount of parameters. The verification of the order and names of the parameters needs to be added again.
- it also does not use "def" anymore, but it sets "srsym"
- in parse_proc_head the symbol (srsym) is only searched if the symbol isn't assigned already; in case of a generic in mode FPC it will find the dummy symbol that points to the generic def

* pexpr.pas
- in factor_read_id there are three cases to handle:
 + the symbol is not assigned => error
 + a possible generic symbol (either an undefined def or the non-generic variant) => no error and no hints
 + a non-generic symbol => hints
 Point 1 is handled correctly, point 2 and 3 aren't currently and also they might be needed to be moved somewhere else
- sub_expr:
 + a node can be a tloadvmtaddrnode as well if the non-generic variant of a generic symbol is a class
 + we can only check afterwards whether the specialization was successful

* pgenutil.pas/generate_specialization
using the count of the parsed types the correct symbol can be found easily

Implement support for nested non-generic types inside generic types. This is mostly for records, classes and objects ("structures") as those didn't work at all, but the others (arrays, procvars) weren't done cleanly either.

pobjdec.pas (object_dec) / ptype.pas (record_dec, array_dec, procvar_dec):
- enable "parse_generic" if a nested type is parsed and we're already inside a generic (this prevents code to be generated for the nested type's methods)
- set the "df_specialization" flag so that the code for generating the methods (and thus resolving the forwards declarations) is called for this symbol

pexpr.pas:
add "post_comp_expr_gendef" which basically calls "handle_factor_typenode" and "postfixoperators" as those aren't exported from the unit themselves

ptype.pas, read_named_type.expr_type:
- use "post_comp_expr_gendef" to parse the use of nested types (e.g. "var t: TTest<T>.TTestSub")

psub.pas, specialize_objectdefs:
implement the generation of the method bodies for nested structures (resolves the forward declarations)

pdecl.pas, types_dec:
when we encounter a nested structure inside a specialization of a structure, we need to find the corresponding generic definition so that the generic can be correctly parsed later on.

Corrected the handling of hint directives.

pgenutils.pas/generate_specialization:
- parse hint directives of the generic if they are recorded
- output hint messages of the generic after the ">" is successfully parsed

pexpr.pas:
- factor: don't display hints of a potential generic type if the next token is a "<"
- sub_expr:
 * added two inline methods which
    a) checks whether a node is a typenode or a loadvmtaddrnode with a typenode
    b) returns the typedef of such a node
 * check hint directives for the first parsed type argument of a specialization
 * in the case of parsing a non-generic type the hints of the left and right node of the resulting "<" node need to be checked (the right ones only if another "<" is following)

Switching from overloaded type symbol to unique symbol per generic.

Reasons for the "unique symbol" approach:
- no special search operations for cross unit search needed (which is supported by Delphi) => less performance impact
- no special care needed to really find the correct generic => less increase of parser complexity

Currently all generic tests except tgeneric29.pp compile and inline specializations work as well.

The changes in detail:
* pdecl.pas/types_dec:
- The variables used to hold the final name of the symbol are now prefixed with "gen". In case of non-generics the prefixed ones are equal to the non-prefixed ones (e.g. orgtypename=genorgtypename). In case of a generic symbol the "gen"-variants contain the type parameter count suffix (e.g. '$1' in case of 'TTest<T>') as well.
- The unmodified pattern is used to insert and detect a dummy symbol with that name, so that type declarations and - more important - inline specializations can find that symbol.
- In non-Delphi modes this symbol is also used to detect whether we have a type redefinition which is not allowed currently; its typedef points to the generic def.
- In mode Delphi the def of that dummy symbol (which contains an undefineddef) is modified when a corresponding non-generic type is parsed, so that it contains the def of the real type.

* pdecsub.pas/parse_proc_head
- consume_generic_type_parameter now only parses the type parameters and picks the generic with the correct amount of parameters. The verification of the order and names of the parameters needs to be added again.
- it also does not use "def" anymore, but it sets "srsym"
- in parse_proc_head the symbol (srsym) is only searched if the symbol isn't assigned already; in case of a generic in mode FPC it will find the dummy symbol that points to the generic def

* pexpr.pas
- in factor_read_id there are three cases to handle:
 + the symbol is not assigned => error
 + a possible generic symbol (either an undefined def or the non-generic variant) => no error and no hints
 + a non-generic symbol => hints
 Point 1 is handled correctly, point 2 and 3 aren't currently and also they might be needed to be moved somewhere else
- sub_expr:
 + a node can be a tloadvmtaddrnode as well if the non-generic variant of a generic symbol is a class
 + we can only check afterwards whether the specialization was successful

* pgenutil.pas/generate_specialization
using the count of the parsed types the correct symbol can be found easily

*pexpr.pas:
- moved "postfixoperators" from local declaration of "factor" to implementation declarations of the unit, so it can be used in "sub_expr"
- for this a parameter "getaddr:boolean" needed to be added, because it used the parameter that was defined by "factor"
=> adjustments inside "factor" for calls to "postfixoperators"
- extended the "_LT" ("<") case of "sub_expr" with handling of inline generic specializations. If a potential generic is detected (Delphi mode, left and right node are type nodes, next token is ">" or ",") it is tried to parse the generic declaration and generate a specialization. If this succeeds, potential postfix operators are parsed and a node <> caddnode is returned.

*pgenutil.pas:
"generate_specialization" was extended so that the first type identifer can already have been parsed (which is the case in inline specializations)

*ptype.pas
adjustments because of the extension of "generate_specialization"

consume_generic_type_parameter now parses the available parameters first before deciding which generic def is the correct one (this is stored in the "def" variable of the parent frame). The count of the parameters and the order is checked.

parse_proc_head itself uses the correct def (the def found by consume_generic_type_parameter in mode Delphi and the first generic def of the symbol in the other modes) which is available in the "def" variable.

Status of generics:
Non-Delphi generics now work as before and declarations of Delphi generics work as well. Inline specialisations don't work currently.

* ptype.pas:
"generate_specialization" now parses the generic parameters without verifying them. The verification is done after their count is known and thus the correct generic def can be determined.

Note: It does currently only work with the first found symbol, the extended lookup needs to be implemented yet (including the unit name works though)

* pexpr.pas:
In "factor_read_id" an "identifer not found" error is generated if the undefined non-generic def is used (e.g. as a type for a variable)

Note: This check needs to be adjusted for the case "typeonly=false".

Status of generics:
Specializations can now be parsed, but declarations containing methods are still broken, because the correct def is not yet resolved (not even talking about inline specializations yet ;) )

*type symbol overloads are only allowed in mode Delphi
*a check for overloads with the same count of arguments is not yet in place
*in non-Delphi modes overloads need to be checked for non-generics as well, e.g. "TTest<T>" is already defined and now a "TTest" is declared
*when a generic is encountered and the symbol does not yet exist, a new symbol with an undefineddef is added and the generic def is added as an overload; if the symbol already exists, the generic is just added
*if a non-generic is parsed and the symbol is already defined (but the typedef is still an undefineddef) then the typedef is updated
*the symtable tree (up to the unit symtable (global or local)) gets the "sto_has_generic" flag which will be used when searching generics with the same name, but different parameter counts in different units

aca2bd83c7 pexpr.pas, post_comp_expr_gendef:
This is not the result you are looking for: The result of "postfixoperators" is only set to true if either "again" was "true" once or the node was changed to an errornode. So using the result for deciding whether we overwrite the def or not is incorrect. So just call "postfixoperators" and process the returned node accordingly.

6a83ebc4a5 Fix introduced regressions.
pgenutil.pas, generate_specialization:
* If we are parsing the result type of a function or operator that belongs to a generic (parse_generic is true) we need to accept also "_LT" and "_GT" as for this the "block_type" is NOT set to one of "bt_type", "bt_var_type", "bt_const_type" and only there "_LSHARPBRACKET" and "_RSHARPBRACKET" are returned by the scanner. This is part of the fix for webtbs\tw18567.pp.
* In non—Delphi modes if we encounter a specialization of the currently parsed class/record (using "specialization"!) the given "tt" will be an errordef (because the def of the generic's symbol was not yet set to "current_structdef"). To solve this we check in this case whether the calculated generic name is equal to that of the "current_structdef" and simply return that as specialized def. This fixes test\tgeneric11.pp.
* When searching for the generic symbol search if the generic belongs to a class or record then we need to search for it in the class or record. This fixes webtbs\tw16090.pp.

ptype.pas
* parse_nested_types: We now return the generic defs for specializations inside generics instead of an undefined def, so we must also parse nested type usages correctly, so that type checks don't fail (undefined defs circumvent them mostly). This fixes webtbs\tw10247.pp.
* single_type: We need to allow _LT as an indication for a Delphi specialization as return types are parsed with block_type not in "bt_type", "bt_var_type", "bt_const_type". This is also a fix a part of the fix for webtbs\tw18567.pp.
* read_named_type, expr_type:
Fixes for test\tgeneric17.pp and test\tgeneric22.pp:
(a) In non-Delphi modes we might encounter usages of the generic dummy symbol inside the generic class belonging to it. This is basically a specialization, but as the reference from the dummy symbol to the "current_structdef" is not yet established (this is done after "read_named_type" in "types_dec" returns) we need to use other ways to check for the valid use of the dummy symbol (basically we check whether the name of the dummy symbol and the name of the current_structdef without the type count match)
(b) For specializations we can check whether the genericdef of the currently parsed structdef (the specialization) is the same as the typedef of the encountered dummy symbol.

pexpr.pas, factor, factor_read_id:
Fixes for test\tgeneric17.pp and test\tgeneric22.pp:
To allow the mentioned fixes in ptype for the same tests to be usable at all we must not return an "identifier not found" error if we encounter such a valid use of a generic dummy symbol.
