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 -
variables, class/record fields and arrays with enumtype(0) on
creation, so that using them without explicitly initializing them
doesn't cause a null-pointer exception. If enumtype(0) is not a
valid enum, they are not initialized (and since they wouldn't have
a valid value on native targets either in that case, an exception
on use is acceptable)
git-svn-id: branches/jvmbackend@18755 -
* added runerror number to JVM FpcRunTimeError exceptions
* enabled calling errorproc when a run time error occurs on the
JVM target
git-svn-id: branches/jvmbackend@18749 -
types involved to determine whether or not the comparison is
unsigned (they don't always match due to bugs in the compiler,
and the sign of the comparison operation is what's used in
other code generators too)
git-svn-id: branches/jvmbackend@18734 -
(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 -
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 -
the functions may be called from Java code or indirectly and in that case
there's no way to guarantee that they'll be zero-extended on the caller
side
git-svn-id: branches/jvmbackend@18684 -
copying that over the old one into calling a dedicated fpcInitializeRec()
method that initializes the required fields. The reason is that this
initialization is performed for out-parameters, and the fpcDeepCopy()
method (used to copy one instance over another) has an out-parameter
-> infinite loop
git-svn-id: branches/jvmbackend@18674 -
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 -
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 -
mangled name handling ansistring rather than pshortstring based (required
for JVM target; little effect on speed, some extra memory usage)
git-svn-id: branches/jvmbackend@18597 -
* move the incstack() from a load before the potential "and" to
zero-extend, so that the maximum stack height get calculated
properly
git-svn-id: branches/jvmbackend@18565 -
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 -
o moved several routines from pmodules to ngenutil and overrode them
in njvmutil (for unit initialisation tables, resource strings, ...)
o force the evaluation stack size to at least 1 for the main program,
because the unit initialisation triggers are inserted there afterwards
and they require one stack slot
git-svn-id: branches/jvmbackend@18507 -
o initialise class vars that need initialisations (records, arrays) in
class constructors
o treat class constructors as having a "void" resultdef rather than the
class type for JVM (maybe has to be done in general?)
o make it possible to specify pno_noleadingdollar to
tprocdef.customprocname() so it can be used for class constructors
(their name is lower cased because it mustn't conflict with other
identifiers, since their name doesn't matter anyway)
o added tsk_empty synthetic procdef kind which, as the name implies,
generates an empty body (for class generated constructors)
+ auto-generate class constructors in case a class has class vars that
need initialisation
git-svn-id: branches/jvmbackend@18462 -
and initialise global variables that are wrapped (records, arrays)
in those sections
o check whether pd.localst is assigned in dbgjasm, because it's
not for the unit initialisation routine
o moved insertbssdata() from ncgutil to ngenutil and override it
njvmutil (it does nothing in the latter, since global variables
are added as fields to the class representing the unit; the
initialisation is done in gen_initialize_code() in thlcgjvm)
o added force_init() and force_final() methods to ngenutil, so
that targets can force init/final routines separate from the
regular managed types infrastructure (used by JVM for forcing
an init section in case of records/arrays)
git-svn-id: branches/jvmbackend@18460 -
happens automatically when required (for constructing arrays/records;
reference counted types don't need special treatment since everything
is garbage collected)
git-svn-id: branches/jvmbackend@18453 -
implemented via classes, all descending from system.FpcBaseRecordType
(records are also considered to be "related" to system.FpcBaseRecordType
on the JVM target)
* several routines are auto-generated for all record-classes: apart
from a default constructor (if there is none), also clone (which
returns a new instance containing a deep copy of the current
instance) and deepCopy (which copies all fields of one instance
into another one)
o added new field "synthetickind" to tprocdef that indicates what
kind of synthetically generated method it is (if any), and
mark such methods also as "synthetic" in the JVM assembler code
o split off the JVM-specific parser code (e.g., to add default
constructors) into pjvm.pas
git-svn-id: branches/jvmbackend@18450 -
(and override for the JVM, making the register type for records
R_ADDRESSREGISTER instead of R_INTREGISTER there)
git-svn-id: branches/jvmbackend@18448 -
svn r17068,17071,17081,17136
* changed all init_paras code in both thlcgobj and ncgutil to use
location_get_data_ref() instead of direct a_load_loc_reg()/
ref.base:=reg so it also works with the JVM target
* changed all init_paras code so it works with targets that do
not pass an implicit high parameter for open array (and a similar
fix in ncgcal)
+ added support for initializing array (both regular and open)
"out" parameters of reference counted types on the JVM target
(the arrays will be initialised with nil rather than an empty
array for implementation reasons, see comments in compproc.inc)
* factored out calling of functions in the system unit directly
from hlcgobj
git-svn-id: branches/jvmbackend@18421 -
in case -sr is used (-sr code cannot be compiled, and is only used for
debugging; with -alr, the stack slot information is printed in the
assembler file)
git-svn-id: branches/jvmbackend@18410 -
o support for copying value parameters at the callee side if they were
passed by reference in hlcg
o JVM g_concatcopy() implementation for arrays
o moved code to get length of an array from njvminl to hlcgcpu so it can
be reused elsewhere as well
o export array copy helpers from system unit for use when assigning one
array to another
o some generic support for types that are normally not implicit pointers,
but which are for the JVM target (such as normal arrays)
* handle assigning nil to a dynamic array by generating a setlength(x,0)
node instead of by hardcoding a call to fpc_dynarray_clear, so
target-specific code can handle it if required
* hook up gethltemp() for JVM ttgjvm so array temps are properly
allocated
git-svn-id: branches/jvmbackend@18388 -
o always create exceptvarsym entry for on-nodes (on all targets) to remove
some special cases when an unnamed exception was caught
o the JVM tryfinally node generates the finally code twice: once for the
case where no exception occurs, and once when it does occur. The reason
is that the JVM's static bytecode verification otherwise cannot prove
that we will only reraise the caught exception when we caught one in
the first place (the old "jsr" opcode to de-duplicate finally code
is no longer used in JDK 1.6 because it suffered from the same problem,
see Sun Java bug
http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:ZJFtvxuyhfMJ:bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do%3Fbug_id%3D6491544 )
git-svn-id: branches/jvmbackend@18387 -
o since the JVM does not support call-by-reference, setlength() works
by taking an argument pointing to the old array and one to the new
array (the latter is always created in advance on the caller side,
even if not strictly required, because we cannot easily create it
on the callee side in an efficient way). Then we copy parts of the
old array to the new array as necessary
o to represent creating a new dynamic array, the JVM target uses
an in_new_x tinlinenode
+ tasnode support for the JVM. Special: it can also be used to convert
java.lang.Object to dynamic arrays, and dynamic arrays of java.lang.Object
to dynamic arrays with more dimensions (arrays are special JVM objects,
and such support is required for the setlength support)
+ check whether explicit type conversions are valid, and if so, add the
necessary conversion code since we cannot simply reinterpret bit patterns
in most cases in the JVM:
o in case of class and/or dynamic array types, convert to an as-node
o in case of int-to-float or float-to-int, use java.lang.Float/Double
helpers (+ added the definitions of these helpers to the system unit)
