The ACC compiler used to be able to compile itself. This was a neat
feature, but because ACC only supports ints, pointers are stored as
ints, and cast to pointers when used.
This checkin turns many ints that are really pointers back into
pointers, so that the code is clearer.
int ch;
char* glo;
char* sym_stack;
char* dstk;
char* dptr;
int dch;
char* last_id;
Document internal CodeGenerator interface
Move license to a separate license file.
Define a public API for calling libacc.
Update the "acc" test program to use the public API.
Move "main.cpp" and test scripts into the tests subdirectory.
Move test data from tests to tests/data
Remove stale test data.
If libacc is built on x86, then x86 is the default code generator.
If libacc is built on arm. then ARM is the default code generator
And so on for future architectures.
The 64-bit x64 machine has no working code generator currently.
We may add one to support the simulator builds.
Improved the test program so we don't try to run tests if the
compile failed. Also avoid running tests that don't work on
a given platform.
Collapsed the inc/dec codegen into the loadEAX function, because it
allows us to generate better code for inc/dec'ing a global variable
on ARM, because we don't have to load the variable's address twice.
Added C++-style "//..end-of-line" comments, since I kept trying to use them when writing
test programs.
The biggest known missing piece is global variables.
+ Improved li to handle all 32-bit values.
+ Implemented push/pop of temp registers during evaluation
+ Implemented the unary and binary easy math operators (+,-,*,<<,>>,|,&,^,~)
+ Implemented global function calling.
This program works:
main() { return 42; }
The disassembler was borrowed from codeflinger, and just modified enough to compile
under C++ without warnings.
Implemented gsym
Implemented a hack verison of li, only works for -256..255
Implemented gjmp
+ Changed indentation, causes the stats to say there's a lot of lines changed.
+ Should be able to compile multiple times with the same compiler object.
+ Create a CodeBuffer class to hold the code.
+ Create a CodeGenerator class to encapsulate knowlege of the CPU instruction set.
+ Started filling in the code generator.
Add a license.
Indent the code.
Add includes for external functions.
Improve function prototypes.
Start adding the correct type to things that are pointers.
Start fixing compiler warnings.
Instead of directly executing the compiled code (which only works on x86 Linux),
write the internal compiler state to stdout. This makes it easier to test whether
or not our refactoring is breaking anything.
Return a zero status on success.
Add error checking for a missing input file.
