The canonical way to describe a local variable that actually holds
the address of an lvalue is VT_LLOCAL. Remove the last user of VT_REF,
and handling of it, thereby freeing a flag for SValue.r.
VT_LLOCAL is a flag on .r, not on type.t. Fixing this requires
minor surgery for compound literals which accidentally happened
to be subsumed by the bogus test.
the second argument can be an arbitrary expression (including
side-effects), not just a constant. This removes the last user
of expr_lor_const and hence also that function (and expr_land_const).
Also the argument to __builtin_constant_p can be only a non-comma
expression (like all functions arguments).
Our code generation assumes that it can load/store with the
bit-fields base type, so bit_pos/bit_size must be in range for this.
We could change the fields type or adjust offset/bit_pos; we do the
latter.
Checked the lcc testsuite for bitfield stuff (in cq.c and fields.c),
fixed one more error in initializing unnamed members (which have
to be skipped), removed the TODO.
- configure/Makefiles: minor adjustments
- build-tcc.bat: add -static to gcc options
(avoids libgcc_s*.dll dependency with some mingw versions)
- tccpe.c/tcctools.c: eliminate MAX_PATH
(not available for cross compilers)
- tccasm.c: use uint64_t/strtoull in unary()
(unsigned long sometimes is only uint32_t, as always on windows)
- tccgen.c: Revert (f077d16c) "tccgen: gen_cast: cast FLOAT to DOUBLE"
Was a rather experimental, tentative commit, not really necessary
and somewhat ugly too.
- cleanup recent osx support:
- Makefile/libtcc.c: cleanup copy&paste code
- tccpp.c: restore deleted function
Also, retain storage qualifiers in type_decl, in particular
also for function pointers. This allows to get rid of this
very early hack in decl()
type.t |= (btype.t & VT_STATIC); /* Retain "static". */
which was to fix the case of
int main() { static int (*foo)(); ...
Also:
- missing __declspec(dllimport) is an error now
- except if the symbol is "_imp__symbol"
- demonstrate export/import of data in the dll example (while
'extern' isn't strictly required with dllimport anymore)
- new function 'patch_storage()' replaces 'weaken_symbol()'
and 'apply_visibility()'
- new function 'update_storage()' applies storage attributes
to Elf symbols.
- put_extern_sym/2 accepts new pseudo section SECTION_COMMON
- add -Wl,-export-all-symbols as alias for -rdynamic
- add -Wl,-subsystem=windows for mingw compatibility
- redefinition of 'sym' error for initialized global data
Forgot about it. It allows to compile several
sources (and other .o's) to one single .o file;
tcc -r -o all.o f1.c f2.c f3.S o4.o ...
Also:
- option -fold-struct-init-code removed, no effect anymore
- (tcc_)set_environment() moved to tcc.c
- win32/lib/(win)crt1 minor fix & add dependency
- debug line output for asm (tcc -c -g xxx.S) enabled
- configure/Makefiles: x86-64 -> x86_64 changes
- README: cleanup
- tccgen.c/tcc.h: allow function declaration after use:
int f() { return g(); }
int g() { return 1; }
may be a warning but not an error
see also 76cb1144ef
- tccgen.c: redundant code related to inline functions removed
(functions used anywhere have sym->c set automatically)
- tccgen.c: make 32bit llop non-equal test portable
(probably not on C67)
- dynarray_add: change prototype to possibly avoid aliasing
problems or at least warnings
- lib/alloca*.S: ".section .note.GNU-stack,"",%progbits" removed
(has no effect)
- tccpe: set SizeOfCode field (for correct upx decompression)
- libtcc.c: fixed alternative -run invocation
tcc "-run -lxxx ..." file.c
(meant to load the library after file).
Also supported now:
tcc files ... options ... -run @ arguments ...
Some code in gen_opl was depending on a gvtst label
which in nocode_wanted mode is not set.
This was causing vstack leaks and crashes with for example
long long ll;
if (0)
return ll - 10 < 0;
Also:
- on windows i386 and x86-64, structures of size <= 8 are
NOT returned in registers if size is not one of 1,2,4,8.
- cleanup: put all tv-push/pop/swap/rot into one place
Some more subtle issues with code suppression:
- outputting asms but not their operand setup is broken
- but global asms must always be output
- statement expressions are transparent to code suppression
- vtop can't be transformed from VT_CMP/VT_JMP when nocode_wanted
Also remove .exe files from tests2 if they don't fail.
Restore ebx from *ebp because alloca might change esp.
Also disable USE_EBX for upcoming release.
Actually the benefit is less than one would expect, it
appears that tcc can't do much with more than 3 registers
except with extensive use of long longs where the disassembly
looks much prettier (and shorter also).
Also: tccgen/expr_cond() : fix wrong gv/save_regs order
Also ...
tcctest.c:
- exclude stuff that gcc doesn't compile on windows.
libtcc.c/tccpp.c:
- use unsigned for memory sizes to avoid printf format warnings
- use "file:line: message" to make IDE error parsers happy.
tccgen.c: fix typo
tccgen.c: remove any 'nocode_wanted' checks, except in
- greloca(), disables output elf symbols and relocs
- get_reg(), will return just the first suitable reg)
- save_regs(), will do nothing
Some minor adjustments were made where nocode_wanted is set.
xxx-gen.c: disable code output directly where it happens
in functions:
- g(), output disabled
- gjmp(), will do nothing
- gtst(), dto.
when an alignment is explicitely given on the member itself,
or on its types attributes then respect it always. Was only
allowed to increase before, but GCC is allowing it.
The linux kernel has some structures that are page aligned,
i.e. 4096. Instead of enlarging the bit fields to specify this,
use the fact that alignment is always power of two, and store only
the log2 minus 1 of it. The 5 bits are enough to specify an alignment
of 1 << 30.
Another corner case:
struct foo6_1
{
char x;
short p:8;
short :0;
short :0;
short p2:8;
char y;
};
In MS layout the second anon :0 bit-field does _not_ adjust size or
alignment of the struct again. The first one does, though.
Bit-fields are layed out differently in visual C, this implements
a compatible mode. Checked against Visual C/C++ 2016.
Unfortunately the GCC implementation of MS layout (behind
-mms-bitfields) actually is different, and hence not compatible
with MS in all cases :-/
Such struct decl:
struct S { char a; int i;} __attribute__((packed));
should be accepted and cause S to be five bytes long (i.e.
the packed attribute should matter). So we can't layout
the members during parsing already. Split off the offset
and alignment calculation for this.
See testcases. We now support 64bit case constants. At the same time
also 64bit enum constants on L64 platforms (otherwise the Sym struct
isn't large enough for now). The testcase also checks for various
cases where sign/zero extension was confused.
In certain very specific situations (involving switches
with asms inside dead statement expressions) we could generate
invalid code (clobbering the buffer so much that we generated
invalid instructions). Don't emit the decision table if the
switch itself is dead.
When intializing members where the initializer needs relocations
and the member is initialized multiple times we can't allow
that to lead to multiple relocations to the same place. The last
one must win.
Similar to GCC a local asm register variable enforces the use of a
specified register in asm operands (and doesn't otherwise
matter). Works only if the variable is directly mentioned as
operand. For that we now generally store a backpointer from
an SValue to a Sym when the SValue was the result of unary()
parsing a symbol identifier.
If a condition is always zero/non-zero we can omit the
then or else code. This is complicated a bit by having to
deal with labels that might make such code reachable without
us yet knowing during parsing.
Not fully thought out. You can't jump inside stmt exprs,
but you can jump out of them. So there's a difference
between undefined but declared labels at the end of stmt
exprs and those defined inside. Additionally it should
also be checked if a label defined inside a stmt expr
was tentatively created as declared from outside.
I'm not prepared doing that right now, so simply revert.
This reverts commit 9160e4cab9147d77840cc44a285031fdb4640cf9.
One can't jump into statement expressions from outside
them, like the following:
int i = ({ label: foo(); 42; });
goto label;
We reject this by making the labels simply not available
outside (GCC has a nicer error message about jumping into
a statement expression).
In statement expression we really mustn't emit backward jumps
under nocode_wanted (they will form infinte loops as no expressions
are evaluated). Do-while and explicit loop with gotos weren't
handled.
The return value of statement expressions might refer to local
symbols, so those can't be popped. The old error message always
was just a band-aid, and since disabling it for pointer types it
wasn't effective anyway. It also never considered that also the
vtop->sym member might have referred to such symbols (see the
testcase with the local static, that used to segfault).
For fixing this (can be seen better with valgrind and SYM_DEBUG)
simply leave local symbols of stmt exprs on the stack.
But like GCC do warn about changes in signedness. The latter
leads to some changes in gen_assign_cast to not also warn about
unsigned* = int*
(where GCC warns, but only with extra warnings).
For
union U { struct {int a,b}; int c; };
union U u = {{ 1, 2, }};
The unnamed first member of union U needs to actually exist in the
structure so initializer parsing isn't confused about the double braces.
That means also the a and b members must be part of _that_, not of
union U directly. Which in turn means we need to do a bit more work
for field lookup.
See the testcase extension for more things that need to work.
Remove dead code and variables. Properly check for unions when
skipping fields in initializers. Make tests2/*.expect depend
on the .c files so they are automatically rebuilt when the latter
change.
E.g. "struct { struct S s; int a;} = { others, 42 };"
if 'others' is also a 'struct S'. Also when the value is a
compound literal. See added testcases.
Start reimplementing the whole initializer handling to be
conforming to ISO C. This patch just reimplements current
functionality to prepare for further changes, all tests pass.
This snippet is valid:
void foo(void);
... foo + 42 ...
the function designator is converted to pointer to function
implicitely. gen_op didn't do that and bailed out.
This must compile:
typedef int arrtype1[];
arrtype1 sinit19 = {1};
arrtype1 sinit20 = {2,3};
and generate two arrays of one resp. two elements. Before the fix
the determined size of the first array was encoded in the type
directly, so sinit20 couldn't be parsed anymore (because arrtype1
was thought to be only one element long).
Given this code:
struct __attribute__((...)) Name {...};
TCC was eating "Name", hence generating an anonymous struct.
It also didn't apply any packed attributes to the parsed
members. Both fixed. The testcase also contains a case
that isn't yet handled by TCC (under a BROKEN #define).
add_elf_sym is a confusing name because it is not clear what the
function does compared to put_elf_sym. As a matter of fact, put_elf_sym
also adds a symbol in a symbol table. Besides, "add_elf_sym" fails to
convey that the function can be used to update a symbol (for instance
its value). "set_elf_sym" seems like a more appropriate name: it will
set a symbol to a given set of properties (value, size, etc.) and create
a new one if non exist for that name as one would expect.
With the last improvements to lexpand it's now harmful
to use on native 64bit platforms when not necessary. For gv_dup
it's not necessary there. It can still be used with really
transforming a 64bit value into two 32bit ones.
Previously, long longs were 'lexpand'ed into two registers
always.
Now, it expands
- constants into two constants (lo-part, hi-part)
- variables into two lvalues with offset+4 for the hi-part.
This makes long long operations look a bit nicer.
Also: don't apply i386 'inc/dec' optimization if carry
generation is wanted.
gen_cast() failed to truncate long long's if they
were unsigned, which was causing mess on the vstack.
There was a similar bug here
tccgen: 32bits: fix PTR +/- long long
ed15cddacd
Both were not visible until this patch
tccgen: arm/i386: save_reg_upstack
b691585785
I'd still assume that this patch is correct per se.
Also:
- remove 2x !nocode_wanted (we are already under a general
"else if (!nocode_wanted)" clause above).
__GNUC__ nowadays as macro seems to mean the "GNU C dialect"
rather than the compiler itself. See also
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2008-07/msg00026.html
This patch will probably cause problems of various kinds but
maybe we should try nonetheless.
Previously in order to perform a ll+ll operation tcc
was trying to 'lexpand' PTR in gen_opl which did
not work well. The case:
int printf(const char *, ...);
char t[] = "012345678";
int main(void)
{
char *data = t;
unsigned long long r = 4;
unsigned a = 5;
unsigned long long b = 12;
*(unsigned*)(data + r) += a - b;
printf("data %s\n", data);
return 0;
}
The back end functions gen_op(comparison) and gtst() might allocate
registers so case_reg should be left on the value stack while they
are called and set again afterwards.
This bug fix was first applied as ff3f9aa (20 Feb 2015), but the fix
was reverted by fc0fc6a (21 Sep 2016, "switch: collect case ranges
first, then generate code"). Here the fix is updated for the new code.
Also:
- regenerate all tests/pp/*.expect with gcc
- test "insert one space" feature
- test "0x1E-1" in asm mode case
- PARSE_FLAG_SPACES: ignore \f\v\r better
- tcc.h: move some things
We need to preserve the type of the pointer to the structure, f.ex.
when a global structure is returned.
This is not a perfect solution. Registers loaded in the first iteration
might be overwritten in a following iteration as the register is no
longer on vtop. This is not a problem for ARM32 as gfunc_sret returns
a maximum of 1 in the integer case.
Makefile :
- do not 'uninstall' peoples /usr/local/doc entirely
libtcc.c :
- MEM_DEBUG : IDE-friendly output "file:line: ..."
- always ELF for objects
tccgen.c :
- fix memory leak in new switch code
- move static 'in_sizeof' out of function
profiling :
- define 'static' to empty
resolve_sym() :
- replace by dlsym()
win32/64: fix R_XXX_RELATIVE fixme
- was fixed for i386 already in
8e4d64be2f
- do not -Lsystemdir if compiling to .o
tccgen.c:gv() when loading long long from lvalue, before
was saving all registers which caused problems in the arm
function call register parameter preparation, as with
void foo(long long y, int x);
int main(void)
{
unsigned int *xx[1], x;
unsigned long long *yy[1], y;
foo(**yy, **xx);
return 0;
}
Now only the modified register is saved if necessary,
as in this case where it is used to store the result
of the post-inc:
long long *p, v, **pp;
v = 1;
p = &v;
p[0]++;
printf("another long long spill test : %lld\n", *p);
i386-gen.c :
- found a similar problem with TOK_UMULL caused by the
vstack juggle in tccgen:gen_opl()
(bug seen only when using EBX as 4th register)
"make test" crashes without that "save_regs()".
This partially reverts
commit 49d3118621.
Found another solution: In a 2nd pass Just look if
any of the argument registers has been saved again,
and restore if so.
This was causing assembler bugs in a tcc compiled by itself
at i386-asm.c:352 when ExprValue.v was changed to uint64_t:
if (op->e.v == (int8_t)op->e.v)
op->type |= OP_IM8S;
A general test case:
#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
long long ll = 4000;
int i = (char)ll;
printf("%d\n", i);
return 0;
}
Output was "4000", now "-96".
Also: add "asmtest2" as asmtest with tcc compiled by itself

I've spent some time on this and I've found an alternative solution.
Although I'm not entirely sure about it but I've attached a patch
nevertheless.
And while poking at that I've found another problem affecting the
unsigned long long division on arm and I've attached a patch for that
too.
More details in the patches themselves. Please review and consider them

[PATCH 1/2] Fix slow unsigned long long division on ARM
The macro AEABI_UXDIVMOD expands to this bit:
#define AEABI_UXDIVMOD(name,type, rettype, typemacro) \
...
while (num >= den) { \
...
while ((q << 1) * den <= num && q * den <= typemacro ## _MAX / 2) \
q <<= 1; \
...
With the current ULONG_MAX version the inner loop goes only until 4
billion so the outer loop will progress very slowly if num is large.
With ULLONG_MAX the inner loop works as expected. The current version is
probably a result of a typo.
The following bash snippet demonstrates the bug:
$ uname -a
Linux eper 4.4.16-2-ARCH #1 Wed Aug 10 20:03:13 MDT 2016 armv6l GNU/Linux

[PATCH 2/2] Fix long long dereference during argument passing on ARMv6
For some reason the code spills the register to the stack. copy_params
in arm-gen.c doesn't expect this so bad code is generated. It's not
entirely clear why the saving part is necessary. It was added in commit
59c35638 with the comment "fixed long long code gen bug" with no further
clarification. Given that tcctest.c passes without this, maybe it's no
longer needed? Let's remove it.
Also add a new testcase just for this. After I've managed to make the
tests compile on a raspberry pi, I get the following diff without this

The case below previously was causing an assertion failure
in the target specific generator.
It probably is not incorrect not to allow this even if
gcc does.
struct S { long b; };
void f(struct S *x)
{
struct S y[1] = { *x };
}
The check for structs was too late and on amd64 and aarch64 could
lead to accepting and then asserting with code like:
struct S {...} s;
char *c = (char*)0x10 - s;
... for fast redeclaration checks
Also, check function parameters too:
void foo(int a) { int a; ... }
Also, try to fix struct/union/enum's on different scopes:
{ struct xxx { int x; };
{ struct xxx { int y; }; ... }}
and some (probably not all) combination with incomplete
declarations "struct xxx;"

If subroutine have 50000+ local variables, then currently

puts("#include <stdio.h>"); puts("int main()"); puts("{");
for (int i = 0; i < 50000; ++i) printf("int X%d = 1;\n", i);

}
don't catch redefinition for local vars. With this option on
tcc accepts the following code:
int main()
{
int a = 0;
long a = 0;
}
But if you shure there is no problem with your local variables,
then a compilation speed can be improved if you have a lots of
the local variables (50000+)
From gcc docs: "You may also specify attributes between the enum, struct or union tag and the name of the type rather than after the closing brace."
Adds `82_attribs_position.c` in `tests/tests2`
the check on incomplete struct/union/enum types was too early,
disallowing mixed specifiers and qualifiers. Simply rely on
the size (->c) field for that. See testcases.
A CString used to be copied into a token string, which is an int array.
On a 64-bit architecture the pointers were misaligned, so ASan gave
lots of warnings. On a 64-bit architecture that required memory
accesses to be correctly aligned it would not work at all.
The CString is now included in CValue instead.
Some test cases:
#define SE ({ switch (0) { } 0; })
// Should give error:
int x = SE;
void f(void) { static int x = SE; }
void f(void) { enum e { a = SE }; }
void f(void) { switch (0) { case SE: break; } }
// Correct:
int f(void) { return SE; }
int f(void) { return sizeof(SE); }
- avoid memory allocation by using its (int) token number
- avoid additional function parameter by using Attribute
Also: fix some strange looking error messages
In a case like
typedef int T[1];
const T x;
we must make a copy of the typedef type so that we can add the type
qualifiers to it.

error: incompatible types for redefinition of 'f'
typedef int T[1];
void f(const int [1]);
void f(const T);

I think I got everything in this commit, but I only tested this
on Linux (Make) and Windows (CMake), so I might've messed
something up on other platforms...
Jsut for testing. It works for me (don't break anything)
Small fixes for x86_64-gen.c in "tccpp: fix issues, add tests"
are dropped in flavor of this patch.
Pip Cet:
Okay, here's a first patch that fixes the problem (but I've found
another bug, yet unfixed, in the process), though it's not
particularly pretty code (I tried hard to keep the changes to the
minimum necessary). If we decide to actually get rid of VT_QLONG and
VT_QFLOAT (please, can we?), there are some further simplifications in
tccgen.c that might offset some of the cost of this patch.
The idea is that an integer is no longer enough to describe how an
argument is stored in registers. There are a number of possibilities
(none, integer register, two integer registers, float register, two
float registers, integer register plus float register, float register
plus integer register), and instead of enumerating them I've
introduced a RegArgs type that stores the offsets for each of our
registers (for the other architectures, it's simply an int specifying
the number of registers). If someone strongly prefers an enum, we
could do that instead, but I believe this is a place where keeping
things general is worth it, because this way it should be doable to
add SSE or AVX support.
There is one line in the patch that looks suspicious:
} else {
addr = (addr + align - 1) & -align;
param_addr = addr;
addr += size;
- sse_param_index += reg_count;
}
break;
However, this actually fixes one half of a bug we have when calling a
function with eight double arguments "interrupted" by a two-double
structure after the seventh double argument:
f(double,double,double,double,double,double,double,struct { double
x,y; },double);
In this case, the last argument should be passed in %xmm7. This patch
fixes the problem in gfunc_prolog, but not the corresponding problem
in gfunc_call, which I'll try tackling next.
* fix some macro expansion issues
* add some pp tests in tests/pp
* improved tcc -E output for better diff'ability
* remove -dD feature (quirky code, exotic feature,
didn't work well)
Based partially on ideas / researches from PipCet
Some issues remain with VA_ARGS macros (if used in a
rather tricky way).
Also, to keep it simple, the pp doesn't automtically
add any extra spaces to separate tokens which otherwise
would form wrong tokens if re-read from tcc -E output
(such as '+' '=') GCC does that, other compilers don't.

Our VLA code can be made a lot simpler (simple enough for
even me to understand it) by giving up on the optimization idea, which
is very tempting. There's a patch to do that attached, feel free to
test and commit it if you like. (It passes all the tests, at least
I think this code only affects the ARM EABI target, and only when
returning small structures that might be unaligned. However, it was both
leaking vstack entries and failing to achieve what I think is its
purpose, to ensure the sret argument would be aligned properly. Both
issues fixed.
This patch disables the optimization of saving stack pointers lazily,
which didn't fully take into account that control flow might not reach
the stack-saving instructions. I've decided to leave in the extra calls
to vla_sp_save() in case anyone wants to restore this optimization.
Tests added and enabled.
There are two remaining bugs: VLA variables can be modified, and jumping
into the scope of a declared VLA will cause a segfault rather than a
compiler error. Both of these do not affect correct C code, but should
be fixed at some point. Once VLA variables have been made properly
immutable, we can share them with the saved stack pointer and save stack
and instructions.
