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.)
The standard wording is not always clear on these cases, but I think at least some of them should be allowed and others may be undefined behavior (which we can choose to allow). At any rate, this allows non-standard escape sequences targeted at other compilers to appear in skipped-over code.
There probably ought to be similar handling for #defines that are never expanded, but that would require more code changes.
This applies to octal and hexadecimal sequences with out-of-range values, and also to unrecognized escape characters. The C standards say both of these cases are syntax/constraint violations requiring a diagnostic.
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.
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.
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.
Right now, decimal constants can have long long types based on their suffix, but they are still limited to a maximum value of 2^32-1.
This also implements the C99 change where decimal constants without a u suffix always have signed types. Thus, decimal constants of 2^31 and up now have type long long, even if their values could be represented in the type unsigned long.
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.
This affects command lines like:
cmpl myprog.c cc=(-da=+) ...
Previously, this would be accepted, but a was actually defined to 0 rather than +.
Now, this gives an error, consistent with other tokens that are not supported in such definitions on the command line. (Perhaps we should support definitions using any tokens, but that would require bigger code changes.)
This also cleans up some related code to avoid possible null-pointer dereferences.
This is contrary to the C standards, but ORCA/C historically permitted it (as do some other compilers), and I think there is a fair amount of existing code that relies on it.
This is normally 1 (indicating a hosted implementation, where the full standard library is available and the program starts by executing main()), but it is 0 if one of the pragmas for special types of programs with different entry points has been used.
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)
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.)
