Commit Message

Iain Sandoe July 2, 2010, 7:19 p.m. UTC
This patch is intended to maintain the 'status-quo' in the presence of  
LTO.

In fact, it is a general step forward in that I have identified the  
reason that 'blanket' application of DECL_PRESERVE_P was required and  
got rid of that.

There are places that I intended to round things out a bit more before  
posting - but we are going to have major patch collisions with  
Nathan's work and with resources being so limited, it seems better to  
move forward in smaller steps - rather than spend all the time  
counteracting bit-rot.

It's best viewed as general maintenance - with the side-effect that  
LTO now works - so there's one fewer barriers to enabling that by  
default on Darwin.

This has been tested on:
powerpc*-apple-darwin{8,9} i686-apple-darwin9, x86_64-apple- 
darwin10,  ?86*-unknown-linux-gnu, cris-elf (sim), s390x (compile  
only), mipsisa64-elf(sim), armel-linux-eabi(compile-only).

OK for trunk?
Iain

If you get it wrong, things just disappear from the file...  I didn't audit it to make sure all your assumptions are correct.  So, first, is there any data that should not be preserved that uses finish_var_decl?  I didn't think there was?  If not, I'd rather keep finish_var_decl as is.


-  expr = add_objc_string (get_identifier (""), class_names);

Please leave this as "".  I don't see a good reason to change it.

?

Likewise with:

?

lto will not work with finish_var_decl as it is.
  see PR 43038 (although, as I see it this is not a problem to ObjC -  
since the version I posted produces the requisite connectivity and  
meta-data).

The only reason that we needed a "blanket" DECL_PRESERVE_P was that  
the variables we started were never finished - and thus were  
disconnected from the root data structures (Symtab &c).

> -  expr = add_objc_string (get_identifier (""), class_names);
> +  expr = add_objc_string (get_identifier ("N/A"), class_names);

the NULL string causes the Symtab to jump between sections when other  
data are all zero.
But that can be cured with explicit section decls.

> Please leave this as "".  I don't see a good reason to change it.

well .. one thing or the other ... (I have no colors to nail to a mast  
here).

NeXT is darwin-specific - we should not need objc-specific stuff in  
the backend to try and guess the section based on the variable names.

It is my intention to separate the runtimes - so that we can hookize  
the interface to make it easier to add ABI V2.
I don't see it as any more Darwin-specific than NeXT is itself  
(although, of course, there's nothing to stop someone porting the  
NeXCT runtime to linux, for example). However, in the latter event I  
suspect they'd have to port the use of these sections too - since my  
understanding is that the runtime uses them.

well, we don't get the warning - because the decls that we *are* using  
are now output - and are linked back to the root meta-data that are  
DECL_PRESERVE_P'd

thanks for the review,
I guess one more pass needed :-)

Maybe that's not wholly achievable, some output is clearly dependent  
on what the FE requires...

so (a) attaching the section names in the meta-data generator (FE  
takes responsibility).
(b) attaching an attribute that allows the backend to do the same (at  
least variable names don't need to be parsed)..
(c) keeping with the choice of section based on var names (we know  
this mostly*** works).

... attaching an attribute ("objc_class_ref/objc_class_def")  is also  
an intention for the two cases where we have ASM_xxx in the FE
  so that varasm can output the appropriate thing (depending on what  
the assembler supports) and the FE doesn't need to do something  
different depending on what target macros are defined.

and, of course, the section ID strings  should be #define'd ..

cheers,
Iain

*** it fails in the case that varasm intercepts all-zero items an  
sticks them in lcomm or comm before the darwin section chooser gets a  
look-in.
... all-zero meta-data is possibly only found in test-suites, so  
perhaps this is not an issue (except of tidiness).

Ok with the:

+	  /* Entries of this form are used for references to methods.
+	  The runtime re-writes these one start-up but the FE can't see 
+	  that and optimizes it away unless we force it.  */

Wording, these one start-up...

fixed.  As for the raw darwin section names in objc/*.c, I'd pre-approve moving that bit of the code behind a target hook or macro, what ever is in style this week.  I'm not sure what style I like.  Maybe just a TARGET_OBJC_CHOOSE_SECTION(decl); type of interface.

Thanks for all your help.
