to D functions, we can apply noalias and nocapture. They are sret parameters,
'nest' pointers passed to nested functions, and _argptr:
Nocapture:
- Sret and nest are nocapture because they don't represent D-level variables,
and thus the callee can't (validly) obtain a pointer to them, let alone keep
it around after it returns.
- _argptr is nocapture because although the callee has access to it as a
pointer, that pointer is invalidated when it returns.
All three are noalias because they're function-local variables
- Sret and _argptr are noalias because they're freshly alloca'd memory only
used for a single function call that's not allowed to keep an aliasing
pointer to it around (since the parameter is nocapture).
- 'Nest' is noalias because the callee only ever has access to one such pointer
per parent function, and every parent function has a different one.
This commit also ensures attributes set on sret, _arguments and _argptr are
propagated to calls to such functions.
It also adds one exception to the general rule that attributes on function types
should propagate to calls: the type of a delegate's function pointer has a
'nest' parameter, but this can either be a true 'nest' (for delegates to nested
functions) or a 'this' (for delegates to member functions). Since 'this' is
neither noalias nor nocapture, and there's generally no way to tell which one it
is, we remove these attributes at the call site if the callee is a delegate.
- Change the way the LLVM SVN revision is detected, using `svn info` instead
of `svnversion`. This speeds it up significantly on my machine (especially
when the LLVM SVN checkout isn't in disk cache).
- Add "last changed date" to SVN checkouts too, not just unpacked tarballs
- No longer rely on SVN revision to detect release vs trunk checkouts, treat
release checkout the same as unpacked release tarball. (Except for date
determination, which uses SVN date instead of filesystem date)
- Use vector instead of Array, reducing allocations.
- Use vectors instead of deques since we only push_back and index.
- Remove redundant typedefs of iterators.
- Comment out unused variable (used only in commented-out GDC code).
- A few whitespace changes.
- More error checking for pragma(intrinsic)
- Properly handle templating for real (use actual nr of bits, not .sizeof * 8)
- Template all .i* and .f* intrinsics
- The old names are deprecated aliases now
I also added a preliminary patch to make tango.math.Math use the new versions.
(I think it looks a lot nicer now)
