This affects field selection expressions where the left expressions is a struct/union assignment or a function call returning a struct or union. Such expressions should be accepted, but they were giving spurious errors.
The following program illustrates the problem:
struct S {int a,b;} x, y={2,3};
struct S f(void) {
struct S s = {7,8};
return s;
}
int main(void) {
return f().a + (x=y).b;
}
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.)
These rules are used if loose type checks are disabled. They are intended to strictly implement the constraints in C17 sections 6.5.9 and 6.5.10.
This patch also fixes a bug where object pointer comparisons to "const void *" should be permitted but were not.
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.
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;
}
}
This should be allowed, but it previously could lead to spurious errors in contexts like argument lists, where a comma would normally be expected to end the expression.
The following example program demonstrated the problem:
#include <stdlib.h>
int main(void) {
return abs(1 ? 2,-3 : 4);
}
For now, this is only used for _Generic expressions. Eventually, it should probably replace the current CompTypes, but CompTypes currently performs somewhat looser checks that are suitable for some situations, so adjustments would be needed at some call sites.
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.
Previously, the type was forced to extended in many circumstances. This was visible in that the results of sizeof were incorrect. It would also affect _Generic, if and when that is implemented.
Note that this does not affect the actual format used for computations and storage of intermediates. That is still the extended format.
The C standards generally allow floating-point operations to be done with extra range and precision, but they require that explicit casts convert to the actual type specified. ORCA/C was not previously doing that.
This patch relies on some new library routines (currently in ORCALib) to do this precision reduction.
This fixes#64.
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 means that floating-point constants can now have the range and precision of the extended type (aka long double), and floating-point constant expressions evaluated within the compiler also have that same range and precision (matching expressions evaluated at run time). This new behavior is intended to match the behavior specified in the C99 and later standards for FLT_EVAL_METHOD 2.
This fixes the previous problem where long double constants and constant expressions of type long double were not represented and evaluated with the full range and precision that they should be. It also gives extra range and precision to constants and constant expressions of type double or float. This may have pluses and minuses, but at any rate it is consistent with the existing behavior for expressions evaluated at run time, and with one of the possible models of floating point evaluation specified in the C standards.
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";
Note that we currently defer evaluation of such expressions to run time if the long long value cannot be represented exactly in a double, because statically-evaluated floating point expressions use the double format rather than the extended (long double) format used at run time.
The changes to constant expressions were not allowing the unsupported constant expressions to be evaluated at run time when they appear in regular code.
This converts them to 32-bit values before doing computations, which is (more than) sufficient for address calculations on the 65816. Trying to compute an address outside the legal range is undefined behavior, and does not necessarily "wrap around" in a predictable way.
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.
