actual vararg list.
Also cleaned up the format for warnings. (Previously some would start with
"warning - warning - Warning:" which was a bit redundant)
Also moved the #defines for linkage types into a separate header instead of
mars.h so we can #include revisions.h without having to rebuild the entire
frontend every time we update.
(I'm using revisions.h to get the LLVM revision for use in preprocessor
conditionals. It should work with LLVM release 2.5, old trunk and new trunk)
- Moved main() into its own file gen/main.cpp
- Fixed basic cross compilation
- removed the option for setting OS
- added support for llc's mattr, mcpu and mtriple switches
- added basic ABI abstraction for return value rewrites, it's not perfect and will probably be completely rewritten once I get to handling parameter rewrites as well.
- x86-64 extern(C) abi for cfloat returns now match (llvm-)gcc.
Note: For a backward compatible interface, use the new bin/ldmd script. It
supports all old options while passing on anything it doesn't recognize.
Some changes caused by this:
* -debug and -version are now -d-debug and -d-version due to a conflict with
standard LLVM options.
* All "flag" options now allow an optional =true/=1/=false/=0 suffix.
* Some "hidden debug switches" starting with "--" were renamed because LLVM
doesn't care about the number of dashes, so they were conflicting with other
options (such as -c).
The new versions start with "-hidden-debug-" instead of "--"
* --help works, but has a non-zero exit code. This breaks some Tango scripts
which use it to test for compiler existence. See tango.patch.
Some changes not (directly) caused by this;
* (-enable/-disable)-FOO options are now available for pre- and postconditions.
* -march is used instead of -m (like other LLVM programs), but -m is an alias
for it.
* -defaultlib, -debuglib, -d-debug and -d-version allow comma-separated values.
The effect should be identical to specifying the same option multiple times.
I decided against allowing these for some other options because paths might
contain commas on some systems.
* -fPIC is removed in favor of the standard LLVM option -relocation-model=pic
Bug:
* If -run is specified as the last argument in DFLAGS, no error is generated.
(Not very serious IMHO)
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.
Changed -g switch to emit DW_LANG_D debug info, make demangling work with a patched GDB, still more work to do for full support of D's Dwarf extensions.
Added getNullValue helper method.
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 !!!
