Full checking +appears impractical, but there's still more than than there was +before. + +On the SPARC, lcc now emits .type and .size directives +unconditionally. + +On the x86, constants are now emitted into the text segment. + +If the environment variable "LCCDIR" is defined, it gives the directory +that contains the preprocessor, the compiler proper, and the +lcc-specific libraries. + +Under Windows, lcc searches the directories named in the environment +variable "include" for header files. + +Errors fixed: + +Erroneously complained about unknown sizes for some const fields, eg, +typedef struct foo ref; struct foo { const ref *q; int a; }; +f(ref *p, int i) { return p->q[i].a; } + +-A -A erroneously complained about static main's that didn't conform +to the ANSI-mandated "int main(void)" or "int main(int, char **)". + +Silently generated incorrect code for a structure copy with a +post-incremented target, eg, +struct { int x; } data = {1}, copy[2], *q = copy; +main() { *q++ = data; } + +Generated incorrect values in some expressions with constant pointers. + +Silently truncated string literals longer than 4095 characters. + +Failed to emit debugging information for uninitialized globals. + +Failed to diagnose missing sizes in some multi-dimensioned array +declarators, eg, extern int x[][10]; int x[5][]; + +Silently emitted incorrect sizes and initalizations for some +incomplete multi-dimensioned arrays involving pointers and whose size +is determined by the number of initializers. + +Set only the x.name field for some back-end symbols (eg, wildcards), +and the uninitialized name field crashed some debugging output. + +uses() failed to check the register *set* as well as the register +mask. There's no known bug demo, but a wildcard set might be +contrived that would need the test. + +Crashed with -b on some conditional expressions involving calls, eg, +int p; void g(void) { p ? f() : 1; } + +On the MIPS, sometimes generated an incorrect frame size and thus a +crash when floating-point registers were saved. + +On the SPARC, erroneously reused a register variable as a temporary +when the variable is compiler-generated. + +On the SPARC with -b, emitted incorrect code for returning structs. + +On the x86, conversion from float to int rounded instead of truncated +with the default floating-point mode. + +On the x86, eliminate rtargets for kids after the first (see p. 419). + +On the x86, substitute reg for freg, in order to use the common reg +rules. Needed only for debugging output, since we're not using any +float regs as regs at this time. + +On the x86, "double f(); main(){f();}" wasn't popping the FP register stack. + +On the x86, ECX was saved by the callee, when it should have been +saved by the caller. + +$Id: LOG 145 2001-10-17 21:53:10Z timo $ |
