Kirill Smelkov 0c928da96d tcc: Draft suppoprt for -MD/-MF options
In build systems, this is used to automatically collect target
dependencies, e.g.

    ---- 8< (hello.c) ----
    #include "hello.h"
    #include <stdio.h>

    int main()
    {
        printf("Hello World!\n");
        return 0;
    }

$ tcc -MD -c hello.c    # -> hello.o, hello.d
$ cat hello.d
hello.o : \
        hello.c \
        hello.h \
        /usr/include/stdio.h \
        /usr/include/features.h \
        /usr/include/bits/predefs.h \
        /usr/include/sys/cdefs.h \
        /usr/include/bits/wordsize.h \
        /usr/include/gnu/stubs.h \
        /usr/include/bits/wordsize.h \
        /usr/include/gnu/stubs-32.h \
        /home/kirr/local/tcc/lib/tcc/include/stddef.h \
        /usr/include/bits/types.h \
        /usr/include/bits/wordsize.h \
        /usr/include/bits/typesizes.h \
        /usr/include/libio.h \
        /usr/include/_G_config.h \
        /usr/include/wchar.h \
        /home/kirr/local/tcc/lib/tcc/include/stdarg.h \
        /usr/include/bits/stdio_lim.h \
        /usr/include/bits/sys_errlist.h \

NOTE: gcc supports -MD only for .c -> .o, but in tcc, we generate
dependencies for whatever action is being taken. E.g. for .c -> exe, the
result will be:

$ tcc -MD -o hello hello.c  # -> hello, hello.d
hello: \
        /usr/lib/crt1.o \
        /usr/lib/crti.o \
        hello.c \
        hello.h \
        /usr/include/stdio.h \
        /usr/include/features.h \
        /usr/include/bits/predefs.h \
        /usr/include/sys/cdefs.h \
        /usr/include/bits/wordsize.h \
        /usr/include/gnu/stubs.h \
        /usr/include/bits/wordsize.h \
        /usr/include/gnu/stubs-32.h \
        /home/kirr/local/tcc/lib/tcc/include/stddef.h \
        /usr/include/bits/types.h \
        /usr/include/bits/wordsize.h \
        /usr/include/bits/typesizes.h \
        /usr/include/libio.h \
        /usr/include/_G_config.h \
        /usr/include/wchar.h \
        /home/kirr/local/tcc/lib/tcc/include/stdarg.h \
        /usr/include/bits/stdio_lim.h \
        /usr/include/bits/sys_errlist.h \
        /usr/lib/libc.so \
        /lib/libc.so.6 \
        /usr/lib/ld-linux.so.2 \
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 \
        /usr/lib/libc_nonshared.a \
        /lib/libc.so.6 \
        /usr/lib/libc_nonshared.a \
        /home/kirr/local/tcc/lib/tcc/libtcc1.a \
        /usr/lib/crtn.o \

So tcc dependency generator is a bit more clever than one used in gcc :)

Also, I've updated TODO and Changelog (in not-yet-released section).

v2:

(Taking inputs from grischka and me myself)

- put code to generate deps file into a function.
- used tcc_fileextension() instead of open-coding
- generate deps only when compilation/preprocessing was successful

v3:

- use pstrcpy instead of snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), "%s", ...)

TODO list:
Bugs:
- fix macro substitution with nested definitions (ShangHongzhang)
- FPU st(0) is left unclean (kwisatz haderach). Incompatible with
optimized gcc/msc code
- constructors
- cast bug (Peter Wang)
- define incomplete type if defined several times (Peter Wang).
- configure --cc=tcc (still one bug in libtcc1.c)
- test binutils/gcc compile
- tci patch + argument.
- see -lxxx bug (Michael Charity).
- see transparent union pb in /urs/include/sys/socket.h
- precise behaviour of typeof with arrays ? (__put_user macro)
but should suffice for most cases)
- handle '? x, y : z' in unsized variable initialization (',' is
considered incorrectly as separator in preparser)
- transform functions to function pointers in function parameters
(net/ipv4/ip_output.c)
- fix function pointer type display
- check lcc test suite -> fix bitfield binary operations
- check section alignment in C
- fix invalid cast in comparison 'if (v == (int8_t)v)'
- finish varargs.h support (gcc 3.2 testsuite issue)
- fix static functions declared inside block
- fix multiple unions init
- sizeof, alignof, typeof can still generate code in some cases.
- Fix the remaining libtcc memory leaks.
- make libtcc fully reentrant (except for the compilation stage itself).
Bound checking:
- '-b' bug.
- fix bound exit on RedHat 7.3
- setjmp is not supported properly in bound checking.
- fix bound check code with '&' on local variables (currently done
only for local arrays).
- bound checking and float/long long/struct copy code. bound
checking and symbol + offset optimization
Missing features:
- disable-asm and disable-bcheck options
- __builtin_expect()
- improve '-E' option.
- atexit (Nigel Horne)
- packed attribute
- C99: add variable size arrays (gcc 3.2 testsuite issue)
- C99: add complex types (gcc 3.2 testsuite issue)
- postfix compound literals (see 20010124-1.c)
Optimizations:
- suppress specific anonymous symbol handling
- more parse optimizations (=even faster compilation)
- memory alloc optimizations (=even faster compilation)
- optimize VT_LOCAL + const
- better local variables handling (needed for other targets)
Not critical:
- C99: fix multiple compound literals inits in blocks (ISOC99
normative example - only relevant when using gotos! -> must add
boolean variable to tell if compound literal was already
initialized).
- add PowerPC or ARM code generator and improve codegen for RISC (need
to suppress VT_LOCAL and use a base register instead).
- interactive mode / integrated debugger
- fix preprocessor symbol redefinition
- better constant opt (&&, ||, ?:)
- add portable byte code generator and interpreter for other
unsupported architectures.
- C++: variable declaration in for, minimal 'class' support.
- win32: __intxx. use resolve for bchecked malloc et al.
check exception code (exception filter func).
- handle void (__attribute__() *ptr)()
Fixed (probably):
- bug with defines:
#define spin_lock(lock) do { } while (0)
#define wq_spin_lock spin_lock
#define TEST() wq_spin_lock(a)
- typedefs can be structure fields
- see bugfixes.diff + improvement.diff from Daniel Glockner
- long long constant evaluation
- add alloca()
- gcc '-E' option.
- #include_next support for /usr/include/limits ?
- function pointers/lvalues in ? : (linux kernel net/core/dev.c)
- win32: add __stdcall, check GetModuleHandle for dlls.
