This was not happening for declared identifiers (variables and functions) or for enum constants, as demonstrated in the following example:
enum {a,b,c};
#if b
#error "bad b"
#endif
int x = 0;
#if x
#error "bad x"
#endif
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.
We now insert spaces corresponding to whitespace between tokens, and string tokens are enclosed in quotes.
There are still issues with (at least) escape sequences in strings and comments between tokens.
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)
The register optimizer tracks when a register is known to contain the same value as a memory location (direct page or absolute) and does optimizations based on this. But it did not always recognize when this information had become invalid because of a subsequent store to the memory location, so it might perform invalid optimizations. This patch adds those checks.
This fixes#66.
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 the #pragma lint line, the integer indicating the checks to perform can now optionally be followed by a semicolon and another integer. If these are present and the second integer is 0, then the lint checks will be performed, but will be treated as warnings rather than errors, so that they do not cause compilation to fail.
These were previously allowed in some cases, but not as the last argument to a macro. Also, stringization and concatenation of them did not behave according to the standards.
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.
