The basic approach is to generate a single expression tree containing the code for the initialization plus the reference to the compound literal (or its address). The various subexpressions are joined together with pc_bno pcodes, similar to the code generated for the comma operator. The initializer expressions are placed in a balanced binary tree, so that it is not excessively deep.
Note: Common subexpression elimination has poor performance for very large trees. This is not specific to compound literals, but compound literals for relatively large arrays can run into this issue. It will eventually complete and generate a correct program, but it may be quite slow. To avoid this, turn off CSE.
These test various properties of the functions, including normal computations and edge case behavior. The edge case tests are largely based on Annex F, and not all of the behavior tested is required by the main specifications in the C standard. ORCA/C does not claim to fully comply with Annex F, but it provides useful guidelines that we try to follow in most respects.
This was broken by the varargs changes in commit a20d69a211. The code was not accounting for the internal representation of the parameters being in reverse order, so it was basing address calculations on the first fixed parameter rather than the last one, resulting in the wrong number of bytes being removed from the stack (generally causing a crash).
This affected the c99stdio.c test case, and is now also covered in c99stdarg.c.
These are currently only run by the new DOIT3 test-running script.
Note that these tests are designed to be applicable to most implementations of C95/C99/C11, not just ORCA/C. They do make certain assumptions not guaranteed by the standards (e.g. power of 2 types and some properties of IEEE-like FP), but in general those assumptions should be true for most 'normal' systems.
It was calling fabs() without having included <math.h>, causing fabs() to be treated as returning an int rather than a floating-point value. This misinterpretation of the return value could cause test failures.
These involve recent standards-conformance patches for printf and scanf, which changed some (non-standard) behaviors that the test cases were expecting.
I also fixed a couple things that clang flagged as undefined behavior, even though they weren't really causing problems under ORCA/C.
