If object.di was not read or is incomplete then basic types may be missing.
This results in a crash if they are used during runtime initialization.
This fixes#551.
Add some of the sanitizer passes to LDC. This is not complete (linking must be
done using clang and the right `-fsanitize=` option) and may not be useful at
all.
If it proves to be usefull then a lot of other options (e.g. blacklist) must be
added.
Adds some constructors and moves the code to the header file. Uses some of the new constructors.
A big problem with the source are the different strategies used for otherwise similar classes.
E.g. a IrField registers itself with the VarDeclaration. Same is required for IrParameter, but
in this case it is done by the caller.
The change of symbol emission ignored the fact that the va_arg intrinsic must be
handled in a special way. This commit corrects the omission (which leads to seg
faults on Linux/PPC64).
The type should have already been resolved if the struct
itself is, but due to multiple-types-per-declaration issues
in DMD, this might not be the case.
GitHub: Fixes#470.
The remaining ones should also be easy to remove with a
closer look at the situation.
Ideally, we would get rid of all of them at some point and
use safe wrapper functions for accessing the IrDsymbol
associated with a given declaration (which would emit the
declarations on the fly if not already present).
This commit fundamentally changes the way symbol emission in
LDC works: Previously, whenever a declaration was used in some
way, the compiler would check whether it actually needs to be
defined in the currently processed module, based only on the
symbol itself. This lack of contextual information proved to
be a major problem in correctly handling emission of templates
(see e.g. #454).
Now, the DtoResolve…() family of functions and similar only
ever declare the symbols, and definition is handled by doing
a single pass over Module::members for the root module. This
is the same strategy that DMD uses as well, which should
also reduce the maintainance burden down the road (which is
important as during the last few releases, there was pretty
much always a symbol emission related problem slowing us
down).
Our old approach might have been a bit better tuned w.r.t.
avoiding emission of unneeded template instances, but 2.064
will bring improvements here (DMD: FuncDeclaration::toObjFile).
Barring such issues, the change shoud also marginally improve
compile times because of declarations no longer being emitted
when they are not needed.
In the future, we should also consider refactoring the code
so that it no longer directly accesses Dsymbol::ir but uses
wrapper functions that ensure that the appropriate
DtoResolve…() function has been called.
GitHub: Fixes#454.
Turns out that Expression::isConst() actually is much too
pessemistic as it e.g. never regards struct literals as
const.
We should get this fixed to avoid unnecessary heap
allocations for array initialization.
