The part of the declaration within the header could be ignored on subsequent compilations using the .sym file, which could lead to errors or misbehavior.
(This also applies to headers that end in the middle of a _Static_assert(...) or segment directive.)
This is a minimal implementation that does not actually inline anything, but it is intended to implement the semantics defined by the C99 and later standards.
One complication is that a declaration that appears somewhere after the function body may create an external definition for a function that appeared to be an inline definition when it was defined. To support this while preserving ORCA/C's general one-pass compilation strategy, we generate code even for inline definitions, but treat them as private and add the prefix "~inline~" to the name. If they are "un-inlined" based on a later declaration, we generate a stub with external linkage that just jumps to the apparently-inline function.
Function declarations within a block are now entered within its symbol table rather than moved to the global one. Several error checks are also added or tightened.
This fixes at least one bug: if a function declared within a block had the same name as a variable in an outer scope, the symbol table entry for that variable could be corrupted, leading to spurious errors or incorrect code generation. This example program illustrates the problem:
/* This should compile without errors and return 2 */
int f(void) {return 1;}
int g(void) {return 2;}
int main(void) {
int (*f)(void) = g;
{
int f(void);
}
f = g;
return f();
}
Errors now detected include:
*Duplicate declarations of a static variable within a block (with the second one initialized)
*Duplicate declarations of the same variable as static and non-static
*Declaration of the same identifier as a typedef and a variable (at file scope)
Previously, it generally just used the later type (except for function types where only the earlier one included a prototype). One effect of this is that if a global array is first declared with a size and then redeclared without one, the size information is lost, causing the proper space not to be allocated.
See C17 section 6.2.7 p4.
Here is an example affected by the array issue (dump the object file to see the size allocated):
int foo[50];
int foo[];
A function declared "inline" with an explicit "extern" storage class has the same semantics as if "inline" was omitted. (It is not an inline definition as defined in the C standards.) The "inline" specifier suggests that the function should be inlined, but it is legal to just ignore it, as we already do for "static inline" functions.
Also add a test for the inline function specifier.
According to the C standards (C17 section 6.10.3 p8), they should not be subject to macro replacement.
A similar change also applies to the "STDC" in #pragma STDC ... (but we still allow macros for other pragmas, which is allowed as part of the implementation-defined behavior of #pragma).
Here is an example affected by this issue:
#define ifdef ifndef
#ifdef foobar
#error "foobar defined?"
#else
int main(void) {}
#endif
This does not really do anything, because ORCA/C does not support multithreading, but the C11 and later standards indicate it should be allowed anyway.
Note that this implementation allows anonymous structures and unions to participate in initialization. That is, you can have a braced initializer list corresponding to an anonymous structure or union. Also, anonymous structures within unions follow the initialization rules for structures (and vice versa).
I think the better interpretation of the standard text is that anonymous structures and unions cannot participate in initialization as such, and instead their members are treated as members of the containing structure or union for purposes of initialization. However, all other compilers I am aware of allow anonymous structures and unions to participate in initialization, so I have implemented it that way too.
This is necessary to correctly handle line continuations in a few places:
* Between an initial . and the subsequent digit in a floating constant
* Between the third and fourth characters of a %:%: digraph
* Between the second and third dots of a ... token
Previously, these would not be tokenized correctly, leading to spurious errors in the first and second cases above.
Here is a sample program illustrating the problem:
int printf(const char * restrict, ..\
\
??/
.);
int main(void) {
double d = .??/
\
??/
\
1234;
printf("%f\n", d);
}
The branch range calculation treated dcl directives as taking 2 bytes rather than 4, which could result in out-of-range branches. These could result in linker errors (for forward branches) or silently generating wrong code (for backward branches).
This patch now treats dcb, dcw, and dcl as separate directives in the native-code layer, so the appropriate length can be calculated for each.
Here is an example of code affected by this:
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
top:
if (!argc) { /* this caused a linker error */
asm {
dcl 0
dcl 0
dcl 0
dcl 0
dcl 0
dcl 0
dcl 0
dcl 0

}
goto top; /* this generated bad code with no error */
}
}
Previously, the assembly-level optimizations applied to code in asm statements. In many cases, this was fine (and could even do useful optimizations), but occasionally the optimizations could be invalid. This was especially the case if the assembly involved tricky things like self-modifying code.
To avoid these problems, this patch makes the assembly optimizers ignore code from asm statements, so it is always emitted as-is, without any changes.
This fixes#34.
A declaration of this exact form always declares the tag T within the current scope, and as such makes this "struct T" a distinct type from any other "struct T" type in an outer scope. (Similarly for unions.)
See C17 section 6.7.2.3 p7 (and corresponding places in all other C standards).
Here is an example of a program affected by this:
struct S {char a;};
int main(void) {
struct S;
struct S *sp;
struct S {long b;} s;
sp = &s;
sp->b = sizeof(*sp);
return s.b;
}
This differs from the usual ORCA/C behavior of treating all floating-point parameters as extended. With the option enabled, they will still be passed in the extended format, but will be converted to their declared type at the start of the function. This is needed for strict standards conformance, because you should be able to take the address of a parameter and get a usable pointer to its declared type. The difference in types can also affect the behavior of _Generic expressions.
The implementation of this is based on ORCA/Pascal, which already did the same thing (unconditionally) with real/double/comp parameters.
The added characters are accented roman letters that were added to the Mac OS Roman character set at some time after it was first defined. Some IIGS fonts include them, although others do not.
The "known issue" about not issuing required diagnostics is removed because ORCA/C has gotten significantly better about that, particularly if strict type checking is enabled. There are still probably some diagnostics that are missed, but it is no longer a big enough issue to be called out more prominently than other bugs.
If strict type checking is enabled, this will prohibit redefinition of enums, like:
enum E {a,b,c};
enum E {x,y,z};
It also prohibits use of an "enum E" type specifier if the enum has not been previously declared (with its constants).
These things were historically supported by ORCA/C, but they are prohibited by constraints in section 6.7.2.3 of C99 and later. (The C90 wording was different and less clear, but I think they were not intended to be valid there either.)
This affects code like the following:
enum E {a,b,c};
int main(void) {
enum E e;
struct E {int x;}; /* or: enum E {x,y,z}; */
}
The line "enum E e;" should refer to the enum type declared in the outer scope, but not redeclare it in the inner scope. Therefore, a subsequent struct, union, or enum declaration using the same tag in the same scope is acceptable.
The optimization could turn an unsigned comparison "x <= 0xFFFF" into "x < 0".
Here is an example affected by this:
int main(void) {
unsigned i = 1;
return (i <= 0xffff);
}
These could occur because the code for certain operations was assumed to set the z flag based on the result value, but did not actually do so. The affected operations were shifts, loads or stores of bit-fields, and ? : expressions.
Here is an example showing the problem with a shift:
#pragma optimize 1
int main(void) {
int i = 1, j = 0;
return (i >> j) ? 1 : 0;
}
Here is an example showing the problem with a bit-field load:
struct {
signed int i : 16;
} s = {1};
int main(void) {
return (s.i) ? 1 : 0;
}
Here is an example showing the problem with a bit-field store:
#pragma optimize 1
struct {
signed int i : 16;
} s;
int main(void) {
return (s.i = 1) ? 1 : 0;
}
Here is an example showing the problem with a ? : expression:
#pragma optimize 1
int main(void) {
int a = 5;
return (a ? (a<<a) : 0) ? 0 : 1;
}
This changes unsigned 16-bit multiplies to use the new ~CUMul2 routine in ORCALib, rather than ~UMul2 in SysLib. They differ in that ~CUMul2 gives the low-order 16 bits of the true result in case of overflow. The C standards require this behavior for arithmetic on unsigned types.
Now rewind() will always be called as a function. In combination with an update to the rewind() function in ORCALib, this will ensure that the error indicator is always cleared, as required by the C standards.
This was non-standard in various ways, mainly in regard to pointer types. It has been rewritten to closely follow the specification in the C standards.
Several helper functions dealing with types have been introduced. They are currently only used for ? :, but they might also be useful for other purposes.
New tests are also introduced to check the behavior for the ? : operator.
This fixes#35 (including the initializer-specific case).
This affects expressions like &*a (where a is an array) or &*"string". In most contexts, these undergo array-to-pointer conversion anyway, but as an operand of sizeof they do not. This leads to sizeof either giving the wrong value (the size of the array rather than of a pointer) or reporting an error when the array size is not recorded as part of the type (which is currently the case for string constants).
In combination with an earlier patch, this fixes#8.
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.
It should only be done after all the ## operators in the macro have been evaluated, potentially merging together several tokens via successive ## operators.
Here is an example illustrating the problem:
#define merge(a,b,c) a##b##c
#define foobar
#define foobarbaz a
int merge(foo,bar,baz) = 42;
int main(void) {
return a;
}
If such macros were used within other macros, they would generally not be expanded, due to the order in which operations were evaluated during preprocessing.
This is actually an issue that was fixed by the changes from ORCA/C 2.1.0 to 2.1.1 B3, but then broken again by commit d0b4b75970.
Here is an example with the name of a keyword:
#define X long int
#define long
X x;
int main(void) {
return sizeof(x); /* should be sizeof(int) */
}
Here is an example with the name of a typedef:
typedef short T;
#define T long
#define X T
X x;
int main(void) {
return sizeof(x); /* should be sizeof(long) */
}
This allows those tokens (asm, comp, extended, pascal, and segment) to be used as identifiers, consistent with the C standards.
A new pragma (#pragma extensions) is introduced to control this. It might also be used for other things in the future.
This did not work correctly before, because such tokens were recorded as starting with the third character of the trigraph.
Here is an example affected by this:
#define mkstr(a) # a
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void) {
puts(mkstr(??!));
puts(mkstr(??!??!));
puts(mkstr('??<'));
puts(mkstr(+??!));
puts(mkstr(+??'));
}
A suffix will now be printed on any integer constant with a type other than int, or any floating constant with a type other than double. This ensures that all constants have the correct types, and also serves as documentation of the types.
Previously, continuations or trigraphs would be included in the string as-is, which should not be the case because they are (conceptually) processed in earlier compilation phases. Initial trigraphs still do not get stringized properly, because the token starting position is not recorded correctly for them.
This fixes code like the following:
#define mkstr(a) # a
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void) {
puts(mkstr(a\
bc));
puts(mkstr(qr\
));
puts(mkstr(\
xy));
puts(mkstr(12??/
34));
puts(mkstr('??<'));
}
This is necessary for correct behavior if such tokens are subsequently stringized with #. Previously, only the first half of the token would be produced.
Here is an example demonstrating the issue:
#define mkstr(a) # a
#define in_between(a) mkstr(a)
#define joinstr(a,b) in_between(a ## b)
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void) {
puts(joinstr(123,456));
puts(joinstr(abc,def));
puts(joinstr(dou,ble));
puts(joinstr(+,=));
puts(joinstr(:,>));
}
They were not being saved, which would result in ORCA/C not searching the proper paths when looking for an include file after the sym file had ended. Here is an example showing the problem:
#pragma path "include"
#include <stdio.h>
int k = 50;
#include "n.h" /* will not find include:n.h */
There were various places where the flag for macro expansions was saved, set to false, and then later restored. If #pragma expand was used within those areas, it would not be properly applied. Here is an example showing that problem:
void f(void
#pragma expand 1
) {}
This could also affect some uses of #pragma expand within precompiled headers, e.g.:
#pragma expand 1
#include "a.h"
#undef foobar
#include "b.h"
...
Also, add a note saying that code in precompiled headers will not be expanded. (This has always been the case, but was not clearly documented.)
This would occur if the macro had already been saved in the sym file and the #undef occurred before a subsequent #include that was also recorded in the sym file. The solution is simply to terminate sym file generation if an #undef of an already-saved macro is encountered.
Here is an example showing the problem:
test.c:
#include "test1.h"
#undef x
#include "test2.h"
int main(void) {
#ifdef x
return x;
#else
return y;
#endif
}
test1.h:
#define x 27
test2.h:
#define y 6
