tccpe.c:
- fix arm64 unwind codes (to make native set/longjmp() work)
sizeof(RUNTIME_FUNCTION) is 8 on arm64 in the first place
no need to note stack slots if we don't save any registers anyway
arm64-gen.c:
- fix long double reg-move
- fix arm64_hfa() for structs with float arrays
- gfunc_prolog(): setup stackframe eariler (simplifies unwind codes)
- new function gv_addr(RC);
win32/include/setjmp.h:
- provide correct definition for setjmo() (frameoffset = 224)
tccasm.c:
- support ".quad" with symbol & relocation
- support ".size"
- fix ". - symbol" arithmetic
win32/lib/crt1.c and win32/include/stdlib.h:
- do not write to __argc/__argv which reside in msvcrt.dll
(msvcrt.dll on arm64 does not like that, crashes on unload)
tcc.c,libtcc.c:
- new functions tcc_fopen/fclose to avoid different stdio unstances
in tcc.exe & libtcc.dll
tests & github workflow:
- add test-win32.bat to run tests with a tcc compiled by build-tcc.bat
- add msvcrt_start.c for gcc/clang to use the same runtime as tcc
the problem is that newer gcc as well as clang and cl are
linking to newer runtimes (such as UCRT) that have partially
different printf format behavior which makes tcctest fail.
the solution here is to force these compilers to link with
msvcrt.dll just like tcc.
Also, there is no gcc on arm64-win32 currently at all.
Anyway, this approach to running the github CI tests
does not require msys2. But It does rely on gnumake
as well as on some 'sh' shell though which seems to be
installed somewhere (maybe it is the one from git).

Commit: 8b5ab1bb01
Also here: https://repo.or.cz/tinycc.git/shortlog/refs/mob/mob_bold84/win_arm64_clean
This and the followup commits on mob is selected parts
of that original branch. So it is not everything.
It is not, for example:
- unrelated whitespace changes in many files
- a "pin msvcrt.dll" feature in tccpe.c (why that)
- a native getenv() replacement in tcc.c (why that)
- larger changes to the win32/lib runtime and tccrun.c (not needed)
- a very gcc specific detail for struct alignent in tccgen.c
- a custom set/longjmp implementation/replacement (not needed)
- lots of rather basic test files in the win32 folder
- a 'tests/asm' folder with some files (one file renamed to 140_test...c)
- a .docs folder with one file
Revert "Add support to debug libtcc code"
- not fully developed experimental feature
This reverts commit 1fe3e3bff5.
This reverts commit 4768b11737.
Revert "tests: add test for x86_64 xor REX prefix bug in load()"
- AI generated nonsense test
This reverts commit d5ecb52a71.
Revert "tccpp.c: Improve integer constant overflow warning"
- Too long and confusing messages and comments for feature
with questionable benefit.
This reverts commit 085bdf8997.
riscv64-link:
- cleanup "pair pcrel lo relocations by hi address"
From fada98b1ce
tccgen.c:
- Simplify "Cast signed pointer offset to ptrdiff_t before performing arithmetic"
From 5ad52cc1ed
libtcc.c:
- Revert "tcc options: document behavior and clashes (no-op)"
a bit more information than one would like to have I think.
(why try to understand that comments plus the extra
script if one can as well just read the code itself ;)
From 234e2dd2bf
tccdefs.h:
- Revert "Move lib/va_list.c into include/tccdefs.h"
Lets not fill tccdefs.h with too much inline code
Also, -nostdlib -run is no longer supported
From fa6a6bfbbd
arm64-gen.c:
- cleanup "Implement TOK_NEG for floats natively"
Also, make it "no lvalue" in tccgen.c/x86-64-gen.c
From c39eaf10cf
lib/lib-arm64.c:
- cleanup "Remove libc dependency from lib-arm64"
using unions is much faster than some made up memcpy()
From 8c61b91de8
workflow:
- revert 'pinact for security' for readability
from 831c3fa184
tccpp.c:
- remove code that allows tcc to parse numbers incorrectly (*)
from 829c848520
tccgen.c:
- Revert "Relaxed the 'incompatible pointer type' warning a bit" (*)
from d9ec17d334.
tccrun.c:
- remove support for -nostdlib -run
for simplicity, we require "main" with tcc -run always
tccpp.c:
- Revert "Free all preprocessor memmory in case of error."
from c96f0cad61
Remove TinyAlloc->limit instead. Thus it can do also bigger
allocs. Big TokenStrings (like 200kb+ when compiling tcc)
may come from inline functions or from large initializers.
Makefile/configure:
- use --config-pie for configuring tcc output only
- use -fPIC with clang-x86_64 to avoid 32-bit relocs
libtcc.c:
- fix "tcc file.c -run" i.e. -run as last argument
i386-gen.c:
- PIC refactor
(*) sorry, but code in tcc should have a minimum of generic relevance
Some targets (netbsd) require that code is
compiled with -fPIE.
i386-gen.c:
Lot of changes to load/store code
i386-link.c:
Set PCRELATIVE_DLLPLT depending on configuration
tccelf.c:
Change some relocations and add get_pc_thunk.o
Makefile lib/Makefile lib/get_pc_thunk.S:
Add new file get_pc_thunk.o
arm-asm.c: add forward branches & some ops
lib/armeabi.c: faster i/udivmod (asm)
arm-gen.c: use movw/movt to load constants for CPUVER >= 70
configure: use dwarf-4 debug sections on android, detect idiv
lib/Makefile: always add -I$(TOP) for access to config.h
tcdbg.c: add a "code mapping symbol" to help out llvm-objdump
tccelf.c: don't load SHT_ARM_EXIDX, modify ARM.attributes
tccpp.c: accept '@' for arm asm comments
Commit a522213 ("tccpe.c: never assume static...") removed the global
-I$(TOP) for cleaner lib build, and ensured that it is added for
bcheck.c as it now includes config.h, but forgot that bt-exe.c also
needs config.h, as it includes ../tccrun.c which includes it.
Also, the explicit tccrun.c prerequisite for bt-exe.c is not required,
as all *.o lib files depend on $(TCC), which depends on libtcc, which
depends on tccrun.c .
Also, at win32/built-tcc.bat, while bcheck.c needs -I.. for config.h,
bt-exe.c doesn't, as ../tccrun.c does find it where it expects it.
just clear s1->static_link before loading msvcrt etc.
Also:
- configure: get cc_version/name when making a cross compiler too
- configure: fix android triplets
- Makefile: remove CONFIG_TCC_CROSS, check TCC_TARGET_xxx instead
- libtcc.c: parse some linker option arguments more correctly
- tccelf.c: fix a versym problem with clang on android
- lib/Makefile, build-tcc.bat: bcheck.c now includes config.h
Put former NATIVE_DEFINES into config.h. Such tcc can be run
and tested directly from source more easily, like for example:
tcc -run tcc.c -B. -run test.c
Also:
- tccelf.c: cleanup
- tccpp.c: avoid stupid clang warning
- configure: reduce -Wno- switches
- tcc.h: inline wait/post_sem()
- tccpe.c: simplify import (assume STT_NOTYPE is function)
with -Wl,-oformat=binary, executable code should come first.
(for linux kernel image for example)
Also:
- simplify RELRO sections: create them as readonly, but add
SHF_WRITE flag later when needed (i.e. relocations do exist)
- tcc.h etc: exclude eh_frames on non-elf platforms
- tccelf.c:tcc_load_object_file(): don't load debug sections when
linking without -g (special dwarf case in relocate_section()
wont work when dwlo/hi were not initialized).
- tcc.c: avoid loop if something fails (ret < 0) without message
(while failing without message should not happen either)
- tccelf.c:tcc_load_alacarte: give message
- tccpp.c: treat '# 123xyz' in asm file as comment
- lib/Makefile: cleanup
- libtcc.c: tcc_add_library(): fallback to try filename as is
(also remove tcc_add_library_err())
Since commit 45cff8f0 tcc eventually generates object files
of non-even size.
tccelf.c:
- check ARFMAG for better invalid archive detection
- file_offset needs to be aligned, not the size (just a nitpick)
lib/Makefile:
- remake everything when tcc did change
- LIBTCCAPI int tcc_set_backtrace_func(void *ud, ...)
accept opaque user data pointer,
- tcc -vv -run... : show section info
- use memalign() to allocate runtime memory
- printline_/dwarf : pass output to parent function
- tccpe.c : fix -nostdlib -run
- --config-backtrace=no : make it work again
- new LIBTCC API tcc_setjmp() to allow longjmps & signals
from compiled code back to libtcc per TCCState
- new LIBTCC API tcc_set_backtrace_func() to handle backtrace output
- move c/dtor/atexit stuff to runtime (lib/runmain.c)
- move bt-log.o into libtcc1.a
- add timeouts to github action (beware, it did happen to hang
infinitely in the signal handler at some point)
The __atomic_test_and_set and __atomic_clear code was correct.
They needed locking.
Replaced to code with assembly code.
The changes are in include/stdatomic.h, lib/stdatomic.c, lib/atomic.S
Enabled tests/tests2/124_atomic_counter.c for apple again.
Also moved lib/fetch_and_add.S code to lib/atomic.S.
Removed lib/fetch_and_add.S
Adjusted lib/Makefile
The apple m1 uses position independent executables (pie).
I have implemented this in tccmacho.c
Apple also uses the stack different for var_args.
Also characters are signed instead of unsigned.
This is implemented in arm64-gen.c/tccdefs.h
Add bounds checking lib to lib/Makefile.
Add underscore support in lib/atomic.S and lib/fetch_and_add.S
Disable __clear_cache in lib/lib-arm64.c (Use system version).
I will try to fix this in future push.
Disable test_asm_call in tests/tcctest.c. Clang does not support @plt.
Also disable weak symbols test.
I will try to fix weak support in future push.
Disable tests/tests2/124_atomic_counter.c for 64BITS.
This is a bug in the atomic code and will be fixed in future push.
You have to use --dwarf configure option. stabs only works with -run.
tested on apple x86_64(10.5) and arm64(12.3).
Make code more compatible with gcc. Change
__atomic_store
__atomic_load
__atomic_exchange
__atomic_compare_exchange
Also add (include/stdatomic.h, lib/stdatomic.c):
atomic_thread_fence
atomic_signal_fence
atomic_is_lock_free
And gcc extensions (tcctok.h, tccgen.c, lib/stdatomic.c):
__atomic_fetch_nand
__atomic_and_fetch
__atomic_sub_fetch
__atomic_or_fetch
__atomic_xor_fetch
__atomic_and_fetch
__atomic_nand_fetch
Add new file lib/atomic.S with assembly code for __atomic_compare_exchange_n
for arm/arm64/riscv. Also update lib/Makefile.
Update testcode in 124_atomic_counter and 125_atomic_misc to test new functions.
Also update tests/tests2/Makefile to run tests on arm/arm64/riscv.
The new gcc12 release does not support stabs any more.
This was a good reason to add support for dwarf.
The stabs code still works and is used if configure option --dwarf
is not used.
Tested on x86_64, i386, arm, arm64, riscv64 with dwarf-5.
Some debuggers may not support dwarf-5. Try using older dwarf versions
i that case.
The tccmacho.c code probably need some support for dwarf.
arm-gen.c, arm64-gen.c, i386-gen.c, riscv64-gen.c, x86_64-gen.
- fix get_sym_ref symbol size
arm-link.c, arm64-link.c, i386-link.c, riscv64-link.c, x86_64-link.c
- add R_DATA_32U
libtcc.c:
- parse -gdwarf option
tcc.c:
- add dwarf option
tcc.h:
- add dwarf option and sections
tccelf.c:
- init dwarf sections
- avoid adding sh_addr for dwarf sections
- remove dwarf relocs for output dll
- add dwarf sections for tccrun
tccgen.c:
- add dwarf defines + global data
- add dwarf_* functions
- mix dwarf code with stabs code
- a trick is used to emit function name in .debug_line section so
only this section has to be parsed instead of .debug_info and
.debug_abbrev.
- fix init debug_modes
tccrun.c:
- add dwarf sections in rt_context
- init them in tcc_run
- add new dwarf code rt_printline_dwarf to find file/function
dwarf.h:
- New file
tcc-doc.texi:
- document dwarf
configure:
- add dwarf option
lib/Makefile
- change -gstabs into -gdwarf
lib/bt-exe.c, tests/tests2/Makefile, tests/tests2/126_bound_global:
- Add __bound_init call
- Add new testcase to test it
- remove any error messages that were just for debugging the
templates really
- don't use c99 in tcc (array designators etc.)
- remove memory model type (cannot be an own type really)
and move memory model defines from built-in to stdatomics.h
- apply normal casts to non-pointer atomic_function arguments
- tidy the library support
- add some tests for errors/warnings
Also:
- Makefile: move GIT_HASH stuff from CFLAGS to DEFINES and into
main section (away from what is included by tests for example)
- tccelf.c/tccgen.c: avoid some warnings with newer GCC
lib/tcov.c:
- can't be cross-compiled (needs stdio.h)
- can be included in libtcc1.a
Reason why bt-xxx.o/bcheck.o are linked separatly is because we
don't want then to linked into exe's and dlls at the same time.
I have implemented the -ftest-coverage option. It works a bit different
from the gcc version. It output .tcov text file which looks almost the
same as a gcov file after a executable/so file is run.
Add lib/tcov.c file
Modify Makefiles to compile/install it
Add -ftest-coverage option in tcc.c/tcc.h/tcc-doc.texi
Add code to tccelf.c/tccgen.c/tccpe.c
Add gen_increment_tcov to tcc.h/*gen.c
unrelated changes:
Add sigemptyset in tccrun.c
Fix riscv64-gen.c tok_alloc label size
tcc_define_symbol(): now only for -D on command line
include/tccdefs.h: converted to strings and compiled into
the tcc executable. Can be disabled with
./configure --config-predefs=no
In this case include/tccdefs.h is loaded at runtime. This is
default for other build-methods (build-tcc.bat) also (to avoid
some complexity).
Also:
- lib/Makefile: fix typo
- tcc.h : avoid _strto(u)i64 (for TCC on WIN98/2K)
- tccpp.h:cstr_printf() : workaround incompatible vsnprintf's
(generally faster too)
- The compiler should not use these
- However tccrun.c & libtcc1.a files should use these
Also:
- use s1->loaded_dlls for loaded dlls instead of dlopens
- alpine musl: fully supported now and tested
- ./configure ...
--config-backtrace=no : disable backtraces
--config-bcheck=no : disable bcheck
- tests:dlltest: enable by default
- tccrun.c : simplify mmaps
- __builtin_alloca : always use asm-alias (instead of #define)
- tccpe.c : use write32le
- configure/Makefile : cleanup, really use CC_NAME
- tccasm.c : remove C99 construct that MSVC doesn't compile
- arm-gen.c, x86_64-gen.c, riscv64-gen.c, tccmacho.c : ditto
- arm64-gen.c: commit 383acf8eff wrote:
"Instead of a cast, it would be better to pass the exact type."
It is true that there are better solutions but it is not
passing the exact type (I think).
- tcctest.c: revert "fix cast test for clang" 03646ad46f
this obviously wants to test non-portable conversions
- 114_bound_signal.test: clock_nanosleep is too new for older
linuxes, just use sleep() instead
* instead of /usr/include use the current SDK path as system
include directory (/usr/include is empty with current tools)
(this also removes the need to add these paths in individual
Makefiles)
* define _DARWIN_C_SOURCE in tcc.h to get the full set of decls
from system headers (e.g. vsnprintf), similar to _GNU_SOURCE
(and don't define _ANSI_SOURCE in the main Makefile anymore)
* tests/tests2/Makefile: remove the -w flag, it's added when necessary
in the rules generating the .expect files
* non-process-shared POSIX semaphores aren't supported on
Darwin, we use the dispatch framework
* dlsym segfaults with RTLD_NEXT from JIT code, so we must not
even try this for -run. So we need to know in __bound_init
if called from -run code, or from normal code, which means passing
this down also from __bt_init and hence from the stub added in
tcc_add_btstub
* Darwin uses different structures for <ctype.h> facilities, this
merely adds a warning about this
* __libc_freeres doesn't exist
* for non -run modus the context (.prog_base member) is constructed
incorrectly (uses symbol zero for trying to get at the load bias,
which doesn't really work that way), on Mach-O this errors out
(and could also error out on ELF). For now deactivate this, which
makes backtraces not be symbolic on MacOS for not -run.
Checked on:
- i386/x86_64 (linux/windows)
- arm/arm64 (rapberry pi)
- riscv64 (simulator)
Not tested for arm softfloat because raspberry pi does not support it.

This also made stack not aligned to 16 bytes.
When compiling on macOS (at least in version 10.12) the TCC compiler failed
to compile libtcc1.a. Three problems were solved:
- The predefined macro "__APPLE__" is now available, as it is tested in the
libc darwin header files
- the libtcc1 Makefile defined _ANSI_SOURCE, although it used signals
- stdargs.h defined va_list differently from the darwin libc.
If the darwin standard library was included BEFORE stdargs this caused
problems.
- the darwin libc generated a warning if GCC < 4 was used
- additional defines are predefined now to make darwin libc headers compile.
This makes it possible to get backtraces with executables
(including DLLs/SOs) like we had it already with -g -run.
Option -b includes -bt, and -bt includes -g.
- new file lib/bt-exe.c: used to link rt_printline and the
exception handler from tccrun.c into executables/DLLs.
- new file lib/bt-log.c: provides a function that may be
called from user code to print out a backtrace with a
message (currently for i386/x86_64 only):
int (*tcc_backtrace)(const char *fmt, ...);
As an extra hack, if 'fmt' is prefixed like "^file.c^..."
then the backtrace will skip calls from within 'file.c'.
- new file lib/bt-dll.c: used on win32 to link the backtrace
and bcheck functions with the main module at runtime
- bcheck.c: now uses the tcc_backtrace function from above
- tccgen.c: minor cleanups
- tccelf.c: stab sections get SHF_ALLOC for easy access.
Also in relocate_section(): 64bit relocations for stabs
in DLLs cannot work. To find DLL addresses, the DLL base
is added manually in tccrun.c via rc.prog_base instead.
- tccpe.c: there are some changes to allow merging sections,
used to merge .finit_array into .data in the first place.
- tccpp.c: tcc -run now #defines __TCC_RUN__
also: refactor a line in tal_realloc that was incompatible
with bcheck
- tcctest.c: fixed a problem with r12 which tcc cannot preserve
as well as gcc does.
- tests2/112_backtrace.c: test the feature and the bcheck test18
that previously was in boundtest.c
- revert Makefiles to state before last bcheck additions
Instead, just load bcheck.o explicitly if that is
what is wanted.
- move tcc_add_bcheck() to the <target>-link.c files and
remove revently added arguments. This function is to
support tccelf.c with linking, not for tccgen.c to
support compilation.
- remove -ba option: It said:
"-ba Enable better address checking with bounds checker"
Okay, if it is better then to have it is not an option.
- remove va_copy. It is C99 and we try to stay C89 in tinycc
when possible. For example, MS compilers do not have va_copy.
- win64: revert any 'fixes' to alloca
It was correct as it was before, except for bound_checking
where it was not implemented. This should now work too.
- remove parasitic filename:linenum features
Such feature is already present with rt_printline in
tccrun.c. If it doesn't work it can be fixed.
- revert changes to gen_bounded_ptr_add()
gen_bounded_ptr_add() was working as it should before
(mostly). For the sake of simplicity I switched it to
CDECL. Anyway, FASTCALL means SLOWCALL with tinycc.
In exchange you get one addition which is required for
bounds_cnecking function arguments. The important thing
is to check them *BEFORE* they are loaded into registers.
New function gbound_args() does that.
In any case, code instrumentation with the bounds-check
functions as such now seems to work flawlessly again,
which means when they are inserted as NOPs, any code that
tcc can compile, seems to behave just the same as without
them.
What these functions then do when fully enabled, is a
differnt story. I did not touch this.
The following functions are now also bounds checked:
memcmp, strncpy, strcmp, strncmp, strcat, strchr, strdup.
Add statistics code for bounds checking functions.
The statistics can be printed by settings environment variable
"TCC_BOUNDS_PRINT_STATISTIC".
Enabled more tests in test/Makefile.
for the implementation of operations we can reuse the ones
from lib/lib-arm64.c, risc-v long double is also float128.
Also implement ggoto, and PDIV, and use t0 in load/store as
temporary register if necessary, not one given by get_reg
(the latter can destroy assignments of long double parameters
in function calls that are already set up).
This let's us compile tcc.c and tcctest.c, though both
don't yet work.
new glibc really can't avoid it anymore, so let's provide it.
I've tried doing it only on systems that possibly are glibc
based. (For others it would be harmless as it simply wouldn't
be picked up from libtcc1.a)
