Patch for trunk rev 167136 adding the write & reread of state files for
gengtype to be usable by plugin developers.

I am attaching the diff file gengtype-wstate-r167136.diff and the

Some comments about Laurynas remarks in

I did made fatal_reading_state an inline function to please Laurynas 
(but I don't think that brings much).

However I cannot make the variadic fatal_reading_state_printf a
function, because I see no va_arg argument accepting function in
errors.h, so I have to leave fatal_reading_state_printf as a macro. I
am not sure that having  the binary fatal_reading_state a function and
the variary fatal_reading_state_printf staying a macro is prettier, but
I try to do what Laurynas wants.

Done. I corrected various indentations & typos. However, Laurynas asked

I respectfully disagree with Laurynas comments.  We have to explain why
write_state is called precisely at this place in main (intuitively, Jeremie 
& me placed it elsewhere, and that was wrong). So I shortened the comment, 
but did say something.

The uncommon scenario (this word does not appear any more in the patch) is:
A plugin foo.so is so common and widely used that it adds new GTY-ed stuff 
and redistribute a gtype-foo.state file augmented with the GTY-ed types 
defined by that plugin. Other plugins foobar.so and foodee.so are based 
upon foo.so (that is, they require the foo.so plugin to be loaded before 
them) and use gtype-foo.state as the state file. Laurynas, could you accept 
the small comment that remains?  I strongly think we have to say something!

I am bootstrapping it right now on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu (i.e. 
Debian/Sid/AMD64) with lto & c+++ & plugins enabled.

Ok for trunk if it bootstraps? With what changes?

Cheers

PS. Before a documentation patch, we still need a minor Makefile.in patch 
to install gengtype appropriately. Alexander Oliva suggested me at the 
GCC summit to install gengtype, which becomes a user visible utility, 
in $(DESTDIR)$(libexecsubdir)/ where cc1 is already sitting.

It did bootstrap.

Bummer. Well fatal_reading_state_printf is going to be a macro then.

I am very sorry. Originally I understood this comment "It could
eventually happen" to mean something like a TODO item, i.e. possible
future gengtype improvement. I apologize for the misunderstanding.

However I am looking at main() and have difficulty understanding: what
was, as you say, the more intuitive place for write_state call that
was wrong? For me the current one looks like the most intuitive: after
all reading is done and before writing any output. Second, can you
explain bit more this scenario of plugin depending on another plugin?
If I understand you correctly, what happens is that for the second
plugin we first read the state and augment it by parsing the second
plugin files, then write the augmented state. If that's correct, then
perhaps replacing the comment here:

  if (plugin_output_filename)
    {
      ...
      /* Parse our plugin files */
      for (ix = 0; ix < nb_plugin_files; ix++)
        parse_file (get_input_file_name (plugin_files[ix]));

with /* Parse our plugin files and augment the state.  */

and then the comment that started all this discussion can become

/* The state at this point is read from the state input file or by
parsing source files and optionally augmented by parsing plugin source
files.  Write it now.  */

Do you find this suggestion good enough?

Other comments:

+struct state_token_st
+{
...
+  union		/* discriminated by stok_kind! */

Single unaligned comment.

Please change write_state_type switch default label to gcc_unreachable call.

write_state_typedefs header comment: "writting" -> "writing"

In most of the reading routines I'd suggest merging declarations and
initializations:

+  struct state_token_st *t0;
+  struct state_token_st *t1;
+  struct state_token_st *t2;
+
+  t0 = peek_state_token (0);
+  t1 = peek_state_token (1);
+  t2 = peek_state_token (2);

struct state_token_st *t0 = peek_state_token(0);
etc.

The type_count handling in gengtype.c suggests factoring out some new
function new_type or similar that only does

type_count++;
struct type *result = XCNEW (struct type);
si->state_number = -type_count;
return result;

It is strictly optional: if you wish, you can do a follow-up patch for
this change. It is not necessary to make this change in the current
patch.

The type_lineloc in gengtype.h is only used in gengtype-state, so
please make it a static function there.

I suspect that #includes in gengyte-state.c were copy-pasted from
gengtype.c and that it is unnecessary to include getopt.h nor
xregex.h.

The gengtype parts are OK with these changes (the comment issue in
main() can be resolved any way you like and can be adjusted in a
follow-up if needed), The Makefile parts are obviously OK unless build
maintainers say otherwise.

Thanks,

Also, this patch makes a whole lot of a new code to become exercised
during bootstrap. Please be on lookout for any issue reports once this
is committed.

Thanks. I made the requested changes, and
Committed revision 167150.

I forgot the details.  Jeremie & me wrote this code in august 2010, and
we did not use any private version control system. But I remember we
had a bug related to the placement of the call to write_state (). Maybe
at that time our understanding of gengtype was worse than today. IIRC
the possible issue was calling set_gc_used (variables) before or after
write_state().

So, let's dream that 4.6 is released and that a plugin foo.so is
commonly used, up to the point that other plugins like foobar.so and
foogee.so are provided to run above it. Assume that all foo.so,
foobar.so & googee.so uses GTY and that foobar.c's GTY-ed types are
referencing a GTY-ed type provided by foo.c or its foo.h

To build foo.so, you need gt-foo.h generated by gengtype with
gengtype -r .../gtype.state -P gt-foo.h foo.h foo.c
But you may also want to provide for the use of sub-plugins 
like foobar.so & foogee.so the derived state file gtype-foo.state
You will then run also
gengtype -r .../gtype.state -P gt-foo.h foo.h foo.c -w gtype-foo.state
[I don't know if that works today, since I never tested]
so that for gt-foobar.h you would run
gengtype -r gtype-foo.state -P gt-foobar.h foobar.c


Is my explanation clear enough? 

Ok, to be clear, I did not test that use case. Maybe it don't work yet. But that would be a bug.

Cheers.

OK, that it is what I thought it is :) Thanks for the explanation.
