The idea is to separate the notion of const from 'this variable can always be
replaced with its initializer' in the frontend. To do that, I introduced
Declaration::isSameAsInitializer, which is overridden in VarDeclaration to
return false for constants that have a struct literal initializer.
So
{{{
const S s = S(5);
void foo() { auto ps = &s; }
// is no longer replaced by
void foo() { auto ps = &(S(5)); }
}}}
To make taking the address of a struct constant with a struct-initializer
outside of function scope possible, I made sure that AddrExp::optimize doesn't
try to run the argument's optimization with WANTinterpret - that'd again
replace the constant with a struct literal temporary.
`available_externally` linkage. This allows the inliner to inline functions from
other modules while telling the code generator to ignore those functions (treat
them as declarations)
Still generates a few extra `TypeInfo`s and strings...
Disabled when generating debug info because I don't really understand it, and it
doesn't like this.
Applied patch from ticket #129 to compile against latest LLVM. Thanks Frits van Bommel.
Fixed implicit return by asm block at the end of a function on x86-32. Other architectures will produce an error at the moment. Adding support for new targets is fairly simple.
Fixed return calling convention for complex numbers, ST and ST(1) were switched around.
Added some testcases.
I've run a dstress test and there are no regressions. However, the runtime does not seem to compile with symbolic debug information. -O3 -release -inline works well and is what I used for the dstress run. Tango does not compile, a small workaround is needed in tango.io.digest.Digest.Digest.hexDigest. See ticket #206 .
Fixed align N; in asm blocks.
Fixed inreg parameter passing on x86 for ref/out params.
Removed support for lazy initialization of function local static variables, I have no idea why I ever implemented this, it's not in the D spec, and DMD doesn't support it :P
Some of the global variable related changes might cause minor regressions, but they should be easily fixable.
Fixed function literals in static initializers.
Changed alignment of delegates from 2*PTRSIZE to just PTRSIZE.
Changed errors to go to stderr instead of stdout.
Fairly major rewriting of struct/union/class handling, STILL A BIT BUGGY !!!
Changed the way struct/class fields are added, first small part of cleaning up these...
Make struct/class/union fields aware of any anonymous struct/union they might be part of, not yet really useful, but part of getting better union support.
Removed the -fp80 option and made real be 80bit floats on X86, this is what the D spec really says it should be and fixes a bunch of issues.
Changed the handling of parameter attributes to a bit more generalized approach.
Added sext/zext attributes for byte/short/ubyte/ushort parameters, fixes#60 .
Parameter attribs now properly set for intrinsic calls if necessary.
Made the tango.math.Math patch less intrusive.
Fixed/added some mini tests.
Fixed problems with label collisions when using labels inside inline asm. LabelStatement is now easily reached given its
Identifier, which should be useful elsewhere too.
Enabled inline asm for building the lib/compiler/llvmdc runtime code, fixing branches out of asm makes this possible.
