This causes __FILE__ to give the name of an include file if used within it, which seems to be what the standards intend (and what other compilers do). It also affects the file name recorded in debugging information for functions declared in an include file.
(Note that occ will generate a #line directive before an #append, essentially to work around the problem this patch fixes. After the patch, such a #line directive is effectively ignored. This should be OK, although it may result in a difference in whether a full or partial pathname is used for __FILE__ and in debug info.)
There were several forms that should be permitted but were not, such as &"str"[1], &*"str", &*a (where a is an array), and &*f (where f is a function).
This fixes#15 and also certain other cases illustrated in the following example:
char a[10];
int main(void);
static char *s1 = &"string"[1];
static char *s2 = &*"string";
static char *s3 = &*a;
static int (*f2)(void)=&*main;
These extra bytes are unnecessary after the changes in commit 5871820e0c to make string constants explicitly include their null terminators.
The extra bytes would be generated for code like the following:
int main(void) {
static char *s1 = "abc", *s2 = "def", *s3 = "ghi";
}
This is necessary to allow declarations of pascal-qualified function pointers as members of a structure, among other things.
Note that the behavior for "pascal" now differs from that for the standard function specifiers, which have more restrictive rules for where they can be used. This is justified by the fact that the "pascal" qualifier is allowed and meaningful for function pointer types, so it should be able to appear anywhere they can.
This fixes#28.
The parameters of the underlying function type were not being reversed when applying the "pascal" qualifier to a function pointer type. This resulted in the parameters not being in the expected order when a call was made using such a function pointer. This could result in spurious errors in some cases or inappropriate parameter conversions in others.
This fixes#75.
Failing to do this could allow the type spec to be overwritten if the expression contained another type name within it (e.g. a cast). This could cause the wrong type to be computed, which could lead to incorrect behavior for constructs that use type names, e.g. sizeof.
Here is an example program that demonstrated the problem:
int main(void) {
return sizeof(short[(long)50]);
}
This gives an error for code like the following, which was previously allowed:
void (*p)(int);
void p(int i) {}
Note that the opposite order still does not give a compiler error, but does give linker errors. Making sure we give a compiler error for all similar cases would require larger changes, but this patch at least catches some erroneous cases that were previously being allowed.
This could occur with strict type checking on, because the parameter types were compared at a point where they had been reversed for the original declaration but not for the subsequent one.
Here is an example that would give an error:
#pragma ignore 24
extern pascal void func(int, long);
extern pascal void func(int, long);
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.
When initializing (e.g.) an array of arrays of char, a string literal would be taken as an initializer for the outer array rather than for an inner array, so not all elements would be initialized properly. This was a bug introduced in commit 222c34a385.
This bug affected the C4.6.4.2.CC test case, and the following reduced version:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
int main (void) {
char ch2[][20] = {"for all good people", "to come to the aid "};
if (strcmp(ch2[1], "to come to the aid "))
puts("Failed");
}
There were several existing optimizations that could change behavior in ways that violated the IEEE standard with regard to infinities, NaNs, or signed zeros. They are now gated behind a new #pragma optimize flag. This change allows intermediate code peephole optimization and common subexpression elimination to be used while maintaining IEEE conformance, but also keeps the rule-breaking optimizations available if desired.
See section F.9.2 of recent C standards for a discussion of how these optimizations violate IEEE rules.
This could give incorrect results for extended-to-comp conversions of certain negative integers like -2147483648 and -53021371269120. To get a fix for the same problem with regard to long long, ORCA/C should be linked with the latest version of ORCALib (which also works around some instances of the problem at run time). There are still other cases involving code in SysFloat that has not yet been patched.
This indicates that floating-point exceptions are used to report math errors. The existing functions will still also set errno in the existing cases, but the new C99 functions generally will not.
For example, declarations like the following should be accepted:
char *p[] = {"abc", "def"};
This previously worked, but it was broken by commit 5871820e0c.
Parameters declared directly with array types were already adjusted to pointer types in commit 5b953e2db0, but this code is needed for the remaining case where a typedef'd array type is used.
With these changes, 'array' parameters are treated for all purposes as really having pointer types, which is what the standards call for. This affects at least their size as reported by sizeof and the debugging information generated for them.
This has the side effect of treating most parameters declared as arrays as actually having pointer types. This affects the value returned by sizeof, among other things. The new behavior is correct under the C standards; however, it does not yet apply when using a typedef'd array type.
This allows the length of the string plus a few extra bytes used internally to be represented by a 16-bit integer. Since the size limit for memory allocations has been raised, there is no good reason to impose a shorter limit on strings.
Note that C99 and later specify a minimum translation limit for string constants of at least 4095 characters.
In the new implementation, variable arguments are not removed until the end of the function. This allows variable argument processing to be restarted, and it prevents the addresses of local variables from changing in the middle of the function. The requirement to turn off stack repair code around varargs functions is also removed.
This fixes#58.
