Compound literals outside of functions should work at this point.
Compound literals inside of functions are not fully implemented, so they are disabled for now. (There is some code to support them, but the code to actually initialize them at the appropriate time is not written yet.)
This is a change that was introduced in C17. However, it actually keeps things closer to ORCA/C's historical behavior, which generally ignored qualifiers in return types.
This causes an error to be produced when trying to assign to these fields, which was being allowed before. It is also necessary for correct behavior of _Generic in some cases.
This behavior is specified by the C standards. It can come up when declaring an array using a typedef'd array type and a qualifier.
This is necessary for correct behavior of _Generic, as well as to give an error if code tries to write to const arrays declared in this way.
Here is an example showing these issues:
#define f(e) _Generic((e), int *: 1, const int *:2, default: 0)
int main(void) {
typedef int A[2][3];
const A a = {{4, 5, 6}, {7, 8, 9}};
_Static_assert(f(&a[0][0]) == 2, "qualifier error"); // OK
a[1][1] = 42; // error
}
These are needed to correctly distinguish pointer types in _Generic. They should also be used for type compatibility checks in other contexts, but currently are not.
This also fixes a couple small problems related to type qualifiers:
*restrict was not allowed to appear after * in type-names
*volatile status was not properly recorded in sym files
Here is an example of using _Generic to distinguish pointer types based on the qualifiers of the pointed-to type:
#include <stdio.h>
#define f(e) _Generic((e),\
int * restrict *: 1,\
int * volatile const *: 2,\
int **: 3,\
default: 0)
#define g(e) _Generic((e),\
int *: 1,\
const int *: 2,\
volatile int *: 3,\
default: 0)
int main(void) {
int * restrict * p1;
int * volatile const * p2;
int * const * p3;
// should print "1 2 0 1"
printf("%i %i %i %i\n", f(p1), f(p2), f(p3), f((int * restrict *)0));
int *q1;
const int *q2;
volatile int *q3;
const volatile int *q4;
// should print "1 2 3 0"
printf("%i %i %i %i\n", g(q1), g(q2), g(q3), g(q4));
}
Here is an example of a problem resulting from volatile not being recorded in sym files (if a sym file was present, the read of x was lifted out of the loop):
#pragma optimize -1
static volatile int x;
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void) {
int y;
for (unsigned i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
y = x*2 + 7;
}
}
Enumeration constants must have values representable as an int (i.e. 16-bit signed values, in ORCA/C), but errors were not being reported if code tried to use the values 0xFFFF8000 to 0xFFFFFFFF. This problem could also affect certain larger values of type unsigned long long. The issue stemmed from not properly accounting for whether the constant expression had a signed or unsigned type.
This sample code demonstrated the problem:
enum E {
a = 0xFFFFFFFF,
b = 0xFFFF8000,
y = 0x7FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFull,
z = 0x8000000000000000
};
These were previously treated as having type int. This resulted in incorrect results from sizeof, and would also be a problem for _Generic if it was implemented.
Note that this creates a token kind of "charconst", but this is not the kind for character constants in the source code. Those have type int, so their kind is intconst. The new kinds of "tokens" are created only through casts of constant expressions.
The FENV_ACCESS pragma is now implemented. It causes floating-point operations to be evaluated at run time to the maximum extent possible, so that they can affect and be affected by the floating-point environment. It also disables optimizations that might evaluate floating-point operations at compile time or move them around calls to the <fenv.h> functions.
The FP_CONTRACT and CX_LIMITED_RANGE pragmas are also recognized, but they have no effect. (FP_CONTRACT relates to "contracting" floating-point expressions in a way that ORCA/C does not do, and CX_LIMITED_RANGE relates to complex arithmetic, which ORCA/C does not support.)
This gives the name of the current function, as if the following definition appeared at the beginning of the function body:
static const char __func__[] = "function-name";
This affected initializers like the following:
static int a[50];
static int *ip = &a[0] + 2U;
Also, introduce some basic range checks for calculations that are obviously outside the 65816's address space.
These use a new calling convention specific to functions returning these types. When such functions are called, the caller must set the X register to the address within bank 0 that the return value is to be saved to. The function is then responsible for saving it there before returning to the caller.
Currently, the calling code always makes space for the return value on the stack and sets X to point to that. (As an optimization, it would be possible to have the return value written directly to a local variable on the direct page, with no change needed to the function being called, but that has not yet been implemented.)
Currently, the actual values they can have are still constrained to the 32-bit range. Also, there are some bits of functionality (e.g. for initializers) that are not implemented yet.
This generalizes the heuristic approach for checking whether _Noreturn functions could execute to the end of the function, extending it to apply to any function with a non-void return type. These checks use the same #pragma lint bit but give different messages depending on the situation.
This uses a heuristic that may produce both false positives and false negatives, but any false positives should reflect extraneous code at the end of the function that is not actually reachable.
Currently, this only flags return statements, not cases where they may execute to the end of the function. (Whether the function will actually return is not decidable in general, although it may be in special cases).
This currently checks for:
*Calls to undefined functions (same as bit 0)
*Parameters not declared in K&R-style function definitions
*Declarations or type names with no type specifiers (includes but is broader than the condition checked by bit 1)
Previously, the designated initializer syntax could confuse the parser enough to cause null pointer dereferences. This avoids that, and also gives a more meaningful error message to the user.
In combination with earlier patches, this fixes#53.
Also, if the lint flag requiring explicit function types is set, then also require that K&R-style parameters be explicitly declared with types, rather than not being declared and defaulting to int. (This is a requirement in C99 and later.)
Previously, these would report "identifier expected"; now they correctly say "')' expected".
This introduces a new UnexpectedTokenError procedure that can be used more generally for cases where the expected token may differ based on context.
_Thread_local is recognized but gives a "not supported" error. It could arguably be 'supported' trivially by saying the execution of an ORCA/C program is just one thread and so no special handling is needed, but that likely isn't what someone using it would expect.
There would be a possible issue if a "static" or "typedef" storage class specifier occurred after a type specifier that required memory to be allocated for it, because that memory conceptually might be in the local pool, but static objects are processed at the end of the translation unit, so their types need to stick around. In practice, this should not occur, because the local pool isn't currently used for much (in particular, not for statements or declarations in the body of a function). We give an error in case this somehow might occur.
In combination with preceding commits, this fixes#14. Declaration specifiers can now appear in any order, as required by the C standards.
This includes both the standard ones (inline and _Noreturn) and the ORCA/C-specific ones (asm and pascal). They can now be freely mixed with other declaration specifiers.
Some errors related to function specifiers are not yet detected.
This could happen in a declaration like "char _Alignas(long) c;", where typeSpec wound up specifying long rather than char.
Also, tweak error checks for _Alignas and _Atomic.
_Bool, _Complex, _Imaginary, _Atomic, restrict, and _Alignas are now recognized in types, but all except restrict and _Alignas will give an error saying they are not supported.
This also introduces uniform definitions of the syntactic classes of tokens that can be used in declaration specifiers and related constructs (currently used in some places but not yet in others).
These qualifiers were previously sometimes accepted between the name and left brace of struct and enum type specifiers. This was non-standard and is no longer allowed.
Type specifiers and type qualifiers can now appear in any order, as specified by the C standards. However, storage class specifiers and function specifiers still cannot be freely mixed with them.
As of C11, type names are now used as part of the declaration syntax (in _Alignas and _Atomic specifiers), in addition to their uses in expressions. Moving the TypeName method will allow it to be called when processing declarations.
