168c9d152f Small optimization for the search of operator overloads. Add a flag "sto_has_generic" to all symtables that contain an operator overload (the flag propagates up the owning symtables) and check this flag when searching for units with operators.
symconst.pas:
  + add "sto_has_operator" to "tsymtableoption"
pdecsub.pas:
  + include the flag "sto_has_operator" for all operator declarations and their owning symtables
htypechk.pas, tcallcandidates:
  * create_candidate_list: only check for operator overloads if the record does indeed declare some
  * collect_overloads_in_units: only check for operator overloads if the unit does indeed declare some
utils/ppudump.pp:
  + respect the new "sto_has_operator" flag

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

75bf094e3f Fix for Mantis #21064.
* pgenutil.pas: factor out the reading of generic specialization parameters (parse_generic_specialization_types) and the generation of a generic type name (generate_generic_name)
* pdecsub.pas, parse_proc_head:
    * also allow an interface alias declaration if an identifier is followed by a "<" (which starts a specialization)
    + add a procedure "consume_generic_interface" which parses such a specialization (by using "parse_generic_specialization_types") - this is needed, because "consume_generic_type_parameter" can (and should not!) handle "ISomeIntf<Integer, T>" or (somewhen in the future) "ISomeIntf<TSomeOtherGeneric<T>>" - and finds the correct symbol for the interface (by utilizing the "generate_generic_name" function)
    * generate the correct mapping entry (for the generic it's only needed for checking (if any), but for a specialization it's essential that we reference the correct specialization)

+ add tests which were included with the issue and also two additional ones

Note: In non-Delphi modes an interface alias can be done like in Delphi mode; "specialization" is not necessary and furthermore not even allowed!

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

0d5b2b84a8 + Android/JVM target, including a translation of the Android r14 SDK
(= Android 4.0) java headers: java.*, javax.*, org.*, junit.*, android.*).
    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.

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.

pgenutil.pas: remove merge artifacts

?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.

    * For now pass nearly always "nil" for the above mentioned sym except inside factor_read_id when we've encountered a typesym.

    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

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

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.

Added a file which will hold the various functions related to generic parsing. The header copyright notice and the info comment might not yet be final.

Note: I've added this mostly empty, because I used SVN instead of GIT SVN, as I don't know whether it would handle the properties for this new file correctly.

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

State of generics:
broken, because the generic defs are not yet searched/found

270fc39432 * An open array/array of const parameter passed by value and requiring a local copy on heap (currently all targets except non-Darwin i386 ones) should not be placed into register and should force procedure to have an implicit finally block.
* At the same time, allow non-value parameters to be placed into registers even if they have managed type (it is ok because they don't participate in implicit exception handing; explicit exception handling still forces them to memory due to logic in tabstractvarsym.is_regvar).
+ Added tparavarsym.needs_finalization method to handle this logic in a single place.
+ Added tparamanager.use_stackalloc method to determine if local copies should be allocated on heap.

The changes regarding pretty names for generics and token buffer endianess were integrated into my changes. Not every call to generate_specialization is fixed though, so compilation will fail.

d8b008b0b0 * require that "overload" is present in the interface if it's used in the
implementation (Delphi-compatible in case multiple overloads exist in
    the current unit, and in other cases avoids compiler crashes in case
    of circular implementation dependencies)
  * ignore other symbol options (deprecated, legacy, platform, ...) as far as
    the interface crc is concerned to avoid trouble in case they appear in the
    implementation but not in the interface (to prevent compiler crashes)

005795495d merge r17552 from cpstrnew branch by inoussa:
*In normal procedure "var" and "out" RawByteString parameters does not accept other string types. Procedures with
"compilerproc" directive or the newly added "rtlproc" directive accept that. Please note that it is up to the
procedure coder to ensure the correctness of the code page in that case. The new directive is needed to handle 
the RTL procedures/functions that are not marked as "compilerproc" such as "UniqueString", "Insert" and "Delete".

*Correct "fpc_ansistr_concat" to handle code page correctly.

*Default "ansitring" type is now created with code page set to "0" instead of "65535". Before that change it was 
impossible to distinguish a "RawByteString" with the default "ansistring". At runtime "ansistring" variable'code
page is set to DefaultSystemCodePage

*UniqueString flavor of "SetLength" has been updated to release memory when shrinked to at least 50%, like ansitring
does.

    this will be detected later by TVMTBuilder.is_new_vmt_entry().

979f55e1db + support for procedural variables for the JVM target
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

6154f1b0d9 * keep track of the number of abstract methods per class via a counter
* use this counter to mark classes containing abstract methods as
    "abstract" in the bytecode per the JVM spec
  * also use the counter to short-circuit printing of all abstract
    methods in a class when creating a new instance (we build the list
    of abstract methods every time a new instance is created, which is
    a waste of time if there are none in the first place)

8fa42c206f + support for nested procedures for the JVM target
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

f27ebf8b6d + explicitly add constructors of parent class that do not appear in the
current class, since constructors are not automatically inherited in
    Java
   o tprocdef.getcopy() implementation, which returns an (unfinished) copy
     of a tprocdef. Finalise by calling symcreat.finish_copied_procdef()
   o made it possible to specify an existing procdef as argument to
     read_proc(), in which case it won't try to parse a procedure declaration,
     but only a body and associate it with the passed procdef. This is
     required for the inherited constructor support, since we cannot generate
     a textual representation of inherited constructors that is guaranteed to
     parse in the context of the current unit (e.g., if they use types from
     a unit that is not in the uses clause of the current unit)
   o folded tprocsym.find_procdef_bypara_no_rettype() into
     Tprocsym.Find_procdef_bypara, by interpreting specifying nil as
     retdef as not having to check the return def (required to compare
     parent constructors with child constructors to see whether they
     match, since the returndef will always be the current class type)

   o because of the previous point, make sure that we handle the
     "function result" properly and don't pop too many values from

     or otherwise), automatically insert a call to the inherited
