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.
_Bool, _Complex, _Imaginary, _Atomic, restrict, and _Alignas are now recognized in types, but all except restrict and _Alignas will give an error saying they are not supported.
This also introduces uniform definitions of the syntactic classes of tokens that can be used in declaration specifiers and related constructs (currently used in some places but not yet in others).
These qualifiers were previously sometimes accepted between the name and left brace of struct and enum type specifiers. This was non-standard and is no longer allowed.
Type specifiers and type qualifiers can now appear in any order, as specified by the C standards. However, storage class specifiers and function specifiers still cannot be freely mixed with them.
As of C11, type names are now used as part of the declaration syntax (in _Alignas and _Atomic specifiers), in addition to their uses in expressions. Moving the TypeName method will allow it to be called when processing declarations.
Specifically, the following six punctuator tokens are now supported:
<: :> <% %> %: %:%:
These behave the same as the existing tokens [, ], {, }, #, and ## (respectively), apart from their spelling.
This can be useful when the full ASCII character set cannot easily be displayed or input (e.g. on the IIgs text screen with certain language settings).
Specifically, the following will now be tokenized as keywords:
_Alignas
_Alignof
_Atomic
_Bool
_Complex
_Generic
_Imaginary
_Noreturn
_Static_assert
_Thread_local
restrict
('inline' was also added as a standard keyword in C99, but ORCA/C already treated it as such.)
The parser currently has no support for any of these keywords, so for now errors will still be generated if they are used, but this is a first step toward adding support for them.
This could happen in some very obscure cases like using these macros for the names of segments or include files. The fix is to just terminate precompiled header generation if they are encountered.
The issue was that invalid sym files could be generated if an #include is encountered within an #if or #ifdef block in the main source file. The fix (for now) is to simply terminate precompiled header generation if such an #include is encountered.
Fixes#2.
This can occur in cases such as trying to assign to a non-l-value.
This patch ensures consistent handling of errors and prevents null pointer dereferences.
Previously, the logic for this was incorrect and would lead to a null pointer dereference in the compiler. In most cases the generated code would not actually change the pointer.
The following program demonstrates the issue:
#include <stdio.h>
#pragma memorymodel 1
typedef char bigarray[0x20000];
bigarray big[5];
int main(void) {
bigarray *p = big;
p++;
printf("%p %p\n", (void*)big, (void*)p);
}
