crucial difference being special handling of `llvm::Type`s so they get printed
by name rather than printing their full representation (which can be positively
*huge*).
This allows re-enabling some logger calls that were disabled due to extreme
verbosity.
`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 function type from D1 frontend that got removed in D2, it's critical for member function type to be correct.
Fixed a bunch of type discrepancies in druntime object.di vs. genobj.d .
Disabled (#if 0) some potentally very large type dumps for -vv .
Updated classinfo and typeinfo generation for D2, almost complete now.
Added finer grained checks for vtbl type mismatching, aids debugging.
In particular, %.nest_arg is always aligned even though it's bitcast from i8*.
Pointers in vtables are also guaranteed to be stored at aligned addresses.
- Implement x86-64 extern(C), hopefully correctly.
- Tried to be a bit smarter about extern(D) while I was there.
Interestingly, this code seems to be generating more efficient code than
gcc and llvm-gcc in some edge cases, like returning a `{ [7 x i8] }` loaded from
a stack slot from an extern(C) function. (gcc generates 7 1-byte loads, while
this code generates a 4-byte, a 2-byte and a 1-byte load)
I also added some changes to make sure structs being returned from functions or
passed in as parameters are stored in memory where the rest of the backend seems
to expect them to be. These should be removed when support for first-class
aggregates improves.
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.
