that the type of the parameters can be determined automatically
o added compilerproc declarations for all helpers called in the compiler
via their assembler name, so we can look up the corresponding procdef
git-svn-id: trunk@23325 -
getintparaloc + adapted all call sites of getintparaloc. This
led to a number of additional, related changes:
o corrected the type information for some getintparaloc parameters
o don't allocate some intparalocs in cases they aren't used
o changed "const tvardata" parameter into "constref tvardata" for
fpc_variant_copy_overwrite to make pass-by-reference semantics
explicit
o moved a number of routines that now have to call find_system_type()
from cgobj to hlcgobj so that cgobj doesn't have to start depending
on the symtable unit
o added versions of the cpureg alloc/dealloc methods to hlcgobj that
call through to their cgobj counter parts, so we can call save/restore
the cpu registers before/after calling system helpers from hlcgobj
(not implemented in hlcgobj itself, because all basic register
allocator functionality is still part of cgobj/cgcpu)
git-svn-id: trunk@21696 -
future use by high level code generator targets
o this in turn required that all a_load*_loc* methods are called via
hlcg rather than via cg, since a location can be a subsetref/reg and
and those are no longer handled in tcg
o that then required moving several force_location_* routines into
thlcg because they use a_load_loc*, but did not take tdef size
parameters (which are required by the thlcg a_load_loc* routines)
o the only practical consequence is that from now on, you have to
use hlcg.location_force_mem/reg() (fpureg not yet) and
hlcg.gen_load_loc_cgpara() instead of the removed versions from ncgutil,
and hlcg.a_load*loc*() instead of cg.a_load*loc* if a subsetref/reg
might be involved
git-svn-id: trunk@21287 -
- i386/cgcpu.pas: removed segment check, rejecting references with segment here is too early. These references are passed to tcgx86.a_loadaddr_ref_reg, which can generate required code for them (or reject if they are not allowed for the target).
- ncgld.pas: removed "not tf_section_threadvars in target_info" condition, it is inverse to one on the following line, making non-generic branch impossible to execute.
+ Define FPC_SECTION_THREADVARS macro if corresponding flag is set for the target.
git-svn-id: trunk@21210 -
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
to the make command line
git-svn-id: branches/jvmbackend@20887 -
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)
git-svn-id: branches/jvmbackend@19743 -
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 -
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 -
o since the JVM target has no stack/framepointer that can be passed
on to nested routines, all local variables and parameters accessed
from nested routines are grouped into a local record whose address
is passed to nested routines. The same technique is also required
for LLVM in the future
git-svn-id: branches/jvmbackend@18588 -
only JVM constructs that are already implemented, but also ones that
will be supported in the future but that aren't implemented yet (to
make it easier to already adapt code to the future changes)
git-svn-id: branches/jvmbackend@18498 -
o when allocating array temps for the JVM target, use the specified
"forcesize" for the first dimension, since the arraydef size may
be invalid (e.g., in case it's an array constructor)
git-svn-id: branches/jvmbackend@18468 -
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 -
for regular temps. This is required for targets that need special
handling of the temps depending on the type
* converted most gettemp() calls to gethltemp() calls
git-svn-id: branches/jvmbackend@18376 -
since the definition-specific adorning of JVM mangled names is Jasmin-
specific, and such code has no place in symdef
* moved code to adorn JVM mangled names for Jasmin definitions to agjasmin
git-svn-id: branches/jvmbackend@18346 -
whether the mangled name is for defining a symbol, or for referencing
it later (e.g. for a call or load of its address). The reason is that
on the JVM both cases are different.
+ jvmdef unit to encode types according to the JVM rules
+ tprocdef.jvmmangledname() to encode a procdef's JVM mangled name
(the common part of defining/referencing it; tprocdef.mangledname
afterwards adorns it as required)

This change became necessary of the following reasons:
- Records don't support inheritance, thus for "record helpers" some creativity would have been necessary to implement them; with the new implementation this is more easily
- the new approach allows for easy checks regarding virtual methods and their overrides which would have been more complicated in the old variant
- if someone feels the need the types of helpers (object, interface) can be added rather easily
- unnecessary things like VMT generation can be disabled now
details:
- msg*:
* moved some messages from parser to type
* adjusted a message ("class helper" => "helper")
- symdef.pas:
* renamed "helperparent" to "extendeddef" and changed its type from "tobjectdef" to "tabstractrecorddef", so records can be extended as well (somewhen in the near future)
* removed "finish_class_helper" method as it isn't necessary (luckily I haven't yet adjusted the ObjC variant)
* changed name of "is_objectpascal_classhelper" to "is_objectpascal_helper" to reflect that this function applies to all helper types
* tobjectdef.create: ImplementedInterfaces isn't created for odt_helper anymore
* tobjectdef.alignment: for helpers it's the same as for classes although this shouldn't be used anywhere...
* tobjectdef.vmtmethodoffset: set to 0 for helpers to be sure...
* tobjectdef.needs_inittable: not needed for helpers (no fields allowed)
* is_objectpascal_helper: only needs check for "odt_helper" object type
- symconst.pas:
* changed odt_classhelper to more general odt_helper
* added new type "thelpertype" which is used to check that "(record|class) helper" corresponds with the given extended type (as Delphi XE checks this as well this strict solution can be kept for modes Delphi and ObjFPC)
- symtable.pas:
* extended "searchsym_in_class" with the possibility to disable the search for helper methods (needed for inherited) => this implies changing all occurences of "searchsym_in_class" with a "true" except some special locations
* renamed "search_objectpascal_classhelper" to "search_objectpascal_helper"
* searchsym_in_class:
** when an extended method is defined with "overload" it can be that a same named method of the extended class might be called (sadly this means that this search was unnecessary...)
** contextclassh is the def of the helper in the case of an inherited call inside the helper's implementation
** when methods inside a helper are searched, it must be searched in the extended type first
- ptype.pas:
* single_type is used to parse the parent of a helper as well, so allow a helper if the stoParseClassParent is given (needs check in pdecobj.pas/parse_class_parents for normal classes)
* read_named_type: currently the only case when something <> ht_none is passed to the modified parse_objdec (see below) is when the combination "class helper" is encountered ("record helper" will be another one)
- pinline.pas: adjustment for extended "searchsym_in_class"
- pexpr.pas:
* adjustments regarding "searchsym_in_class" and "is_objectpascal_helper"
* factor/factor_read_id: moved the check for "TSomeClassType.SomeMethod" outside of the "is_class" check
* factor:
** in case of an inherited we need to search inside the extended type first (Note: this needs to be extended to find methods in the helper parent if no method is found in the extended type)
** we also need to disable the search for helper methods when searching for an inherited method (Note: it might be better to introduce a enum to decide whether a helper method should search before or after the methods of the extended type or even never)
- pdecsub.pas:
* insert_self_and_vmt_para: in a helper the type of Self is of the extended type
* pd_abstract, pd_final: more nice error message
* pd_override, pd_message, pd_reintroduce: adjusted checks because now "is_class" is no longer true for helpers
* proc_direcdata: allowed "abstract" for helpers (only to produce a more nice error message)
* parse_proc_direc: adjustment because of "is_objectpascal_helper"
- pdecobj.pas:
* adjustments regarding "is_objectpascal_helper"
* adjusted object_dec to take the type of the helper (class, record) as a parameter to be able to check whether the correct extended type was given
* struct_property_dec: properties are allowed in helpers
* parse_object_options: nothing to be parsed for helpers (at least I hope so ^^)
* parse_parent_classes:
** the parent of a helper is now parsed as a normal parent, the extended type is parsed in an extra procedure
** check for "sealed" no longer needed
** added check that the parsed parent of a helper is indeed a helper
** allow to parse the closing ")" of the helper's parent
* parse_extended_class:
** new procedure that parses the type which is extended
** it checks that the extended type is a class for "class helper" and a record for "record helper"
** it checks that a helper extends the same class or a subclass for class helpers
** it checks that a helper extends the same record for record helpers
* parse_object_members:
** "type", "const", "var" is allowed in helpers
** don't exclude flags regarding virtual methods, they are needed for the checks in mode Delphi (this implies that VMT loading must be disabled for helpers)
* object_dec:
** don't change "odt_helper" to "odt_class", but still include the "oo_is_classhelper" flag
** allow the parsing of object options (there are none)
** parse the extended type for helpers
- pdecl.pas
* adjustment because of extension of object_dec
* types_dec: remove the call to finish_classhelper
- objcdef.pas
* objcaddencodedtype, objcdochecktype: add references to helpers as implicit pointers although that should not be used in any way...
- nld.pas
* tloadnode.pass_typecheck: self is a reference to the extended type
- nflw.pas
* create_for_in_loop: adjustment because of changed procedure and inheritance type
- ncgrtti.pas
* TRTTIWriter.write_rtti_data: disable for helpers for now (I need to check what Delphi does here)
- ncgld.pas
* tcgloadnode.pass_generate_code: virtual methods of helpers are treated as normal methods
- ncgcal.pas
* tcgcallnode.pass_generate_code: virtual methods of helpers are treated as normal methods
- ncal.pas
* tcallnode.pass_typecheck: adjust for extension of tcallcandidates constructor
- htypechk.pas
* tcallcandidates declaration: extend some methods to (dis)allow the search for helper methods (needed for inherited)
* tcallcandidates.collect_overloads_in_struct:
** search first in helpers for methods and stop if none carries the "overload" flag
** move the addition of the procsyms to an extra nested procedure because it's used for helper methods and normal struct methods

- rename tprocdef._class to tprocdef.struct and change the type from tobjectdef to tabstractrecorddef because methods can belong not to classes only now but to records too
- replace in many places use of current_objectdef to current_structdef with typcast where is needed
- add an argument to comp_expr, expr, factor, sub_expr to notify that we are searching type only symbol to solve the problem with records,objects,classes which contains fields with the same name as previosly declared type (like:
HWND = type Handle;
rec = record
hWnd: HWND;
end;)
- disable check in factor_read_id which was made for object that only static fields can be accessed as TObjectType.FieldName outside the object because it makes SizeOf(TObjectType.FieldName) imposible and since the same method was extended to handle records it also breaks a52 package compilation
- rename tcallcandidates.collect_overloads_in_class to tcallcandidates.collect_overloads_in_struct and addapt the code to handle overloads in records too
- fix searchsym_type to search also in object ancestors if we found an object symtable
- add pd_record, pd_notrecord flags to mark procedure modifies which can or can't be used with records. Disallow the next modifiers for records: abstract, dynamic, export, external, far, far16, final, forward, internconst, internproc, interrupt, message, near, override, public, reintroduce, virtual, weakexternal,
Allow the next modifiers for records: static

represent complex locations (required for full x86-64 ABI support,
which is not yet implemented) -> lots of special result handling
code has been removed and replaced by the parameter handling
routines
+ added support for composite parameters (and hence function
results) to tcg.a_load_ref_cgpara() (so it can be used for
handling, e.g., 64 bit parameters on 32 bit platforms)
* the above fixed writing past the end of allocated memory when
handling records returned in registers on x86-64 whose size is
not a multiple of 8 bytes (mantis #16357)
- removed the x86-64 and PPC specific versions of a_load_ref_cgpara(),
as they are now handled correctly by the generic version
* moved the responsibility of allocating tcgpara cpu registers
(using paramanager.allocparaloc()) from the callers of
cg.a_load*_cgpara() to the cg.a_load*_cgpara() methods
themselves (so the register allocation can be done efficiently
when dealing with function results)
* for the above, renamed paramanager.alloc/freeparaloc() to
paramanager.alloc/freecgpara(), and use paramanager.allocparaloc()
to allocate individual pcgparalocations instead
* fixed the register size of SSE2 function result registers for
x86-64 (when used for floating point), which results in removing
a few superfluous "movs? %xmm0,%xmm0" instructions
* fixed compilation of paramanagers of avr, m68k and mips after r13695
and also updated them for these new changes

tobjectdef.needs_inittable returns false for classes nowadays (and already
since quite some time)
* nevertheless replaced all usages in the compiler of x.needs_inittable with
is_managed_type(x) (in case some other condition is added again in the
future) and removed all remaining accompanying "and not is_class(x)"
checks
