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

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)

assignment-nodes. For global typed constants and typed constants/
local variable initialisers in regular functions/procedurs, the
assignments are performed in the unit initialisation code. For
those in object/record definitions and their methods, it's done
in the class constructor. Since we may not yet have parsed all
method implementations when the class constructor is parsed, part
of these may be initialised in a helper routine called from the
class constructor. The ones known when the class constructor is
parsed are inited there, because the ones marked as "final" and
declared as static class fields must be initialised in the class
constructor for Java
o new set systems_typed_constants_node_init in systems unit that
indicates that a target uses node trees to initialise typed consts
instead of an initialised data section
o mark typed constants in {$j-} mode as "final" for JVM
o mangle the name of staticvarsyms inside localtables a bit to avoid
name clashes (only with procedure names for now, no parameters yet
so can still cause problems with overloaded routines)
o after a routine has been parsed, it is now processed by
cnodeutils.wrap_proc_body(), which can add extra nodes before code
generation (used for injected the typed constant node trees)

in a single statement, to be added later)
o the unicodestrings are internally simply java.lang.String instances
o at the language level, the unicodestrings are assignment-compatible
with java.lang.String
o constant strings can be implicitly converted to java.lang.String
o since java.lang.String is immutable, in particular changing a
single character in a string is extremely inefficient. This could
be solved by letting unicodestring map to java.lang.StringBuilder,
but that would make integration with plain Java code harder

JLObject with the method "Free" and a virtual destructor "Destroy"
(and Free is automatically called from the "finalize" method,
which in turn is called by the JVM when the instance is collected;
note that there is no final collection before the JVM shuts down,
so it may never be called if you don't call Free explicitly yourself)
* if you don't specify an explicit ancestor for a Java class, set
the parent to TObject instead of to JLObject (for better compatibility
with regular Pascal code)

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

constructor is declared, rather than all constructors from the parent

parameter types of the parent constructors may not be visible in the

a way to replace the type of the self-parameter afterwards)
* added sanity checks when inserting the parameterless constructor

methods)

o scanner state saving/restoring, and avoiding problems in case of

via {$modeswitch finalfields} (on by default on the JVM target). The
meaning is the same as in Java: a final (class) field can only be set
in a (class) constructor of the class it's defined in, and can only be
written once there (and *must* be set there). They are currently only
supported for external classes since that basically turns them into
constants, since for non-external classes we need full dataflow analysis
o refactored pdecobj.parse_object_members() a bit in the process to reduce
the amount of repetition (which would have been further increased for
the support for final fields)
o made error message about "wrong use of absolute" for fields etc generic,
so it gives a proper error depending on which token was used (it had
to be made generic for "final" support, but already was used for other
things that were wrongly reported as "absolute" misusages)

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,

o handle them like for regular classes (return a class instance,
although this is technically not true since they don't return
anything; will be changed in the future)
o because of the previous point, make sure that we handle the
"function result" properly and don't pop too many values from
the evaluation stack when calling one constructor from another
o added "extra_pre_call_code" method used by njvmcal to insert
the "new" opcode to create the new class instance before
calling a constructor
o when a constructor does not call any other constructor (inherited
or otherwise), automatically insert a call to the inherited
parameterless constructor as required by the jvm standard)

from another constructor, that it does so as the first statement/

o allow specifying an "import_dll" for external Java classes, which can
be used to specify the Java package name (like the dll for cppclass)
o take the package name into account when mangling the Java class name
o several messages that were specific to Objective-Pascal classes have
been generalised because they also apply to Java classes, same for
several compiler function names
o disabled some proccall directives for Java, but more needs to happen

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)

- htypechk.pas
* tcallcandidates declaration: extend some methods to (dis)allow the search for helper methods (needed for inherited)

** 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

* added flag pd_nothelper which tells the "directive parser" not to use this directive with class helpers
* added pd_nothelper flag to definitely forbidden directive (I'm not so happy about "abstract" though, as the error message because of this isn't very descriptive, because abstract is treated as field)
* some directives that are useless in class helpers are forbidden in mode ObjFPC only (e.g. "message", "virtual", "override")
- compiler/pdecobj.pas: as class helpers don't support some concepts used in normal classes (e.g. virtual methods) they are simply ignored and thus the corresponding flags are removed (this is for mode Delphi)

change is that it is now also allowed to specify an external name for
formal external class definitions, but if they are later mixed with
regular class definitions the external names have to match.
o because the "external" status of methods is now set while parsing the
class rather than afterwards, some procdir compatibility checks had to
be inlined because they only have to be performed for
* also adapted the syntax for external cppclasses in the same way
* fixed return type of NSObject.retainCount and NSObject.hash
(NSUInteger instead of cint)
* moved "patches" directory from cocoaint/src to cocoaint/utils/cocoa-skel
so they are used by the conversion script when re-parsing the headers
* updated Objective-C header parser script to
o use the new external class syntax
o not write inheritance information for root classes (NSObject, NSProxy)
o use internal translation tables for some conflicting method names that
are named specially in objcbase.pp
and updated parsed headers
* fixed rtl/inc/objcbase.pp and tests to conform to the new external class
syntax
