actual vararg list.
Also cleaned up the format for warnings. (Previously some would start with
"warning - warning - Warning:" which was a bit redundant)
llvm::OStream provides all std::ostream functionality (by holding a
std::ostream* internally), but
* doesn't include <iostream>, avoiding per-file overhead.
* allows the stream pointer to be null, and the (inlined) operators do nothing
when that's the case. (This also allows removal of the ofstream("/dev/null")
hack Logger used when disabled, which presumably wasn't very portable)
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 a minor linking order mishap *
* Added an command line option -annotate *
* Fixed some problems with running optimizations *
* Added std.stdio and dependencies to lphobos (still not 100% working, but compiles and links) *
* Fixed problems with passing aggregate types to variadic functions *
* Added initial code towards full GC support, currently based on malloc and friends, not all the runtime calls the GC yet for memory *
* Fixed problems with resolving nested function context pointers for some heavily nested cases *
* Redid function argument passing + other minor code cleanups, still lots to do on this end... *
Basically it tries to do the following in order: Resolve types, Declare symbols, Create constant initializers, Apply initializers, Generate functions bodies.
ClassInfo is now has the most useful(biased?) members working.
Probably other stuf...
Added support for array .sort and .reverse properties.
Fixed some bugs with pointer arithmetic.
Disabled some DMD AST optimizations that was messing things up, destroying valuable information.
Added a KDevelop project file, this is what I use for coding LLVMDC now :)
Other minor stuff.
Lots of bugfixes.
Added support for special foreach on strings.
Added std.array, std.utf, std.ctype and std.uni to phobos.
Changed all the .c files in the gen dir to .cpp (it *is* C++ after all)
