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

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 -
* eliminate warnings in compiler (i386 & i368->x86_64) and minor refactorings
- comment out unused vars and types
- comment out unneeded comparisons (Longword <=> 0)
- suppress some "comparison always true|false" warnings
- tweak visiblity sections
git-svn-id: trunk@19385 -
* 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 -
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 -
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 -
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 -
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 -
+ support for nested procedural variables:
o activate using {$modeswitch nestedprocvars} (compatible with all
regular syntax modes, enabled by default for MacPas mode)
o activating this mode switch changes the way the frame pointer is
passed to nested routines into the same way that Delphi uses (always
passed via the stack, and if necessary removed from the stack by
the caller) -- Todo: possibly also allow using this parameter
passing convention without enabling nested procvars, maybe even
by default in Delphi mode, see mantis #9432
o both global and nested routines can be passed to/assigned to a
nested procvar (and called via them). Note that converting global
*procvars* to nested procvars is intentionally not supported, so
that this functionality can also be implemented via compile-time
generated trampolines if necessary (e.g. for LLVM or CIL backends
as long as they don't support the aforementioned parameter passing
convention)
o a nested procvar can both be declared using a Mac/ISO Pascal style
"inline" type declaration as a parameter type, or as a stand-alone
type (in the latter case, add "is nested" at the end in analogy to
"of object" for method pointers -- note that using variables of
such a type is dangerous, because if you call them once the enclosing
stack frame no longer exists on the stack, the results are
undefined; this is however allowed for Metaware Pascal compatibility)
git-svn-id: trunk@15694 -
compares by avoiding unnecessary sign extensions (fixes bug reported in
http://lists.freepascal.org/lists/fpc-pascal/2010-January/023907.html )
* never throw away int2int type conversions on bitpacked loads, because
in these cases the proper bits still need to be selected
git-svn-id: trunk@14892 -
+ RTL support:
o VFP exceptions are disabled by default on Darwin,
because they cause kernel panics on iPhoneOS 2.2.1 at least
o all denormals are truncated to 0 on Darwin, because disabling
that also causes kernel panics on iPhoneOS 2.2.1 (probably
because otherwise denormals can also cause exceptions)
* set softfloat rounding mode correctly for non-wince/darwin/vfp
targets
+ compiler support: only half the number of single precision
registers is available due to limitations of the register
allocator
+ added a number of comments about why the stackframe on ARM is
set up the way it is by the compiler
+ added regtype and subregtype info to regsets, because they're
also used for VFP registers (+ support in assembler reader)
+ various generic support routines for dealing with floating point
values located in integer registers that have to be transferred to
mm registers (needed for VFP)
* renamed use_sse() to use_vectorfpu() and also use it for
ARM/vfp support
o only superficially tested for Linux (compiler compiled with -Cpvfpv6
-Cfvfpv2 works on a Cortex-A8, no testsuite run performed -- at least
the fpu exception handler still needs to be implemented), Darwin has
been tested more thoroughly
+ added ARMv6 cpu type and made it default for Darwin/ARM
+ ARMv6+ implementations of atomic operations using ldrex/strex
* don't use r9 on Darwin/ARM, as it's reserved under certain
circumstances (don't know yet which ones)
* changed C-test object files for ARM/Darwin to ARMv6 versions
* check in assembler reader that regsets are not empty, because
instructions with a regset operand have undefined behaviour in that
case
* fixed resultdef of tarmtypeconvnode.first_int_to_real in case of
int64->single type conversion
* fixed constant pool locations in case 64 bit constants are generated,
and/or when vfp instructions with limited reach are present
WARNING: when using VFP on an ARMv6 or later cpu, you *must* compile all
code with -Cparmv6 (or higher), or you will get crashes. The reason is
that storing/restoring multiple VFP registers must happen using
different instructions on pre/post-ARMv6.

alignment for each memory reference (mantis #12137, and
test/packages/fcl-registry/tregistry1.pp on sparc). This also
enables better code generation for packed records in many cases.
o several changes were made to the compiler to minimise the chances
of accidentally forgetting to set the alignment of memory references
in the future:
- reference_reset*() now has an extra alignment parameter
- location_reset() can now only be used for non LOC_(C)REFERENCE,
use location_reset_ref() for those (split the tloc enum so the
compiler can catch errors using range checking)
git-svn-id: trunk@12719 -
shortstring temps don't get maximum alignment)
* changed some gettemptyed() calls into gettemp() calls (gettemptyped
means that this temp can only be used for temps of that type,
which is necessary for refcounted types but not for floats)
git-svn-id: trunk@12036 -
* Replaces linear search through assembler list by the hash lookup.
This considerably improves performance on large projects
(one example is winunits-jedi package, in which tcgstringconstnode.pass_generate_code
was top #1 in calltree, consuming about 12% IRefs).
* Enables reusing memory locations for widestring constants
(and in general, the same approach may be used for any other type of constants).
* Saves a sizeof(pointer) bytes per constant, by removing a location
which points to the string. This location is necessary for the
typed consts which may be modified, but redundant for string literals
because the language does not allow to modify string literals in any way.
git-svn-id: trunk@11657 -
- Explicit typecasts like LongBool(byte_value) do not change ordinal value.
- Explicit typecasts like ByteBool(longint_value) do not change ordinal value and can lead to data loss if longint_value is outside of ByteBool range.
- Explicit typecasts like ByteBool(LongBool) handle type ranges correctly.
- Updated test tw10233.pp. It is passed by Delphi as well.
git-svn-id: trunk@10672 -
a) cpu64bitaddr, which means that we are generating a compiler which
will generate code for targets with a 64 bit address space/abi
b) cpu64bitalu, which means that we are generating a compiler which
will generate code for a cpu with support for 64 bit integer
operations (possibly running in a 32 bit address space, depending
on the cpu64bitaddr define)
All cpus which had cpu64bit set now have both the above defines set,
and none of the 32 bit cpus have cpu64bitalu set (and none will
compile with it currently)
+ pint and puint types, similar to aint/aword (not pword because that
that conflicts with pword=^word)
* several changes from aint/aword to pint/pword
* some changes of tcgsize2size[OS_INT] to sizeof(pint)
git-svn-id: trunk@10320 -
for qwordbool) + test:
o assigning true to such a variable now sets them to $ff/$ffff/$ffffffff
o these types are now all signed
o converting an integer type to a byte/word/long/qwordbool using an
explicit type cast keeps the integer's original value stored in the
bool, instead of forcing it to ord(true)/ord(false)
(mantis #10233 and #10613, implemented for all architectures, testsuite
tested for ppc32, sparc and x86)
* fixed some places where the rtl depended on longbool(true) having the
value 1
* extended several boolean tests (and adapted some to no longer assume
that byte/word/long/qwordbool(true)=1)
+ support for converting to qwordbool in second_int_to_bool for x86, ppc
and sparc
git-svn-id: trunk@9898 -
(widechar<->char, widechar<>*string), based on patch from
Rimgaudas Laucius (mantis #7758)
* no longer perform compile-time widechar/string->char/ansi/
shortstring conversions if they would destroy information
(they can't cope with widechars with ord>=128). This means
that you can now properly constant widechars/widestrings
in source code with a {$codepage } set without risking that
the compiler will mangle everything afterwards
* support ESysEINVAL return code from iconv (happens if last
multibyte char is incomplete)
* fixed writing of widechars (were converted to char -> lost
information)
git-svn-id: trunk@8274 -
properly converted. The conversion is done at runtime to generate
a two pointer memory reference as result location, something
which the code generator can handle very well, which minimizes
the chance of side effects.
git-svn-id: trunk@7978 -
* fixed downsizing the precision of floating point values
* floating point constants are now treated using only the minimal
precision required (e.g. 2.0 is now a single, 1.1 extended etc)
(Delphi compatible)
git-svn-id: trunk@5927 -
* symtables based on TFPHashObjectList and TFPObjectList
* rename torddef.typ to torddef.ordtype
* rename tfloatdef.typ to tfloatdef.floattype
* rename tdef.deftype to tdef.typ
* remove obsolete browser code, browcol is kept so the ide
can still be compiled
git-svn-id: trunk@5192 -
getjumplabel and added type para to getlabel for specific types
* moved lineinfo generation from assemble and aggas to dbgstabs
