  This patch comes up with asm_out_state and a new global variable casm.

Tested on all cross compilers.
Patch can bootstrap on x86_64-linux-gnu and survives regression tests.

Ready to be installed?
Thanks,
Martin

        * output.h (struct asm_out_file): New struct that replaces a
^^^
asm_out_state?

You replace a lot of asm_out_file - do we still need the macro then?
(I'd have simplified the patch leaving that replacement out at first)

You leave quite some global state out of the struct that is obviously
related, in the diff I see object_block_htab for example.  Basically
everything initialized in init_varasm_once is a candidate (which
then shows const_desc_htab and shared_constant_pool as well
as pending_assemble_externals_set).  For the goal of outputting
early DWARF to another file the state CTOR could have a mode
to not initialize those parts or we could have asm-out-state-with-sections
as base of asm-out-state.

In the end there will be a target part of the state so I think
construction needs to be defered to the target which can
derive from asm-out-state and initialize the part it needs.
That's currently what targetm.asm_out.init_sections () does
and we'd transform that to a targetm.asm_out.create () or so.
That might already be necessary for the DWARF stuff.

That said, dealing with the target stuff piecemail is OK, but maybe
try to make sure that init_varasm_once is actually identical
to what the CTOR does?

Yes, sure!

Well, I actually replaced only a very small fraction of the usage of asm_out_file.

$ git grep asm_out_file | grep -v ChangeLog | wc -l

1601


So I think we should live with the macro for some time ...

Yes, I'm aware of it. Can we do that incrementally?

Well, these would probably need a different header file (or another #include ... must
be added before output.h :// ).

Yes, right now asm_out_state ctor is minimal:

   asm_out_state (): out_file (NULL), in_section (NULL),
     sec ({}), anchor_labelno (0), in_cold_section_p (false)
   {
     section_htab = hash_table<section_hasher>::create_ggc (31);
   }

So what do you want to with content of init_varasm_once function?

So you want asm_out_state::asm_out_state doing what we current initialize
in init_varasm_once, right?

As explained in the '3/N' part, we will have to live with asm_out_file macro
for some time. Is this renaming patch fine?

Thanks,
Martin

It goes away ;)  Or rather becomes the invocation of the
asm-out-state CTOR via the target hook.

Yes, asm_out_state should cover everything initialized in init_varasm_once
(and the called targetm.asm_out.init_sections).

targetm.asm_out.init_sections would become

asm_out_state *init_sections ();

where the target can derive from asm_out_state (optionally) and
allocates the asm-out-state & invokes the CTORs.  The middle-end
visible asm_out_state would contain all the tables initialized in
init_varasm_once.

I'm not sure if doing it piecemail is good - we don't want to touch
things multiple times without good need and it might be things
turn out not be as "simple" as the above plan sounds.

I would suggest to try the conversion with powerpc since it
seems to be the only target with two different implementations
for the target hook.

The

static GTY(()) section *read_only_data_section;
static GTY(()) section *private_data_section;
static GTY(()) section *tls_data_section;
static GTY(()) section *tls_private_data_section;
static GTY(()) section *read_only_private_data_section;
static GTY(()) section *sdata2_section;

section *toc_section = 0;

could become #defines to static_cast<rs6000_asm_out_state *>
(casm)->section_name
and there'd be

class rs6000_asm_out_state : public asm_out_state
{
... add stuff ...
}

in rs6000/xcoff.h and rs6000/sysv4.h and some generic rs6000 header as well
(adding no fields) and the target hook would basically do

 return ggc_new rs6000_asm_state ();

(OK, ggc_alloc + placement new I guess).  The default hook just
creates asm_out_state.

Hello.

All right, I made a patch candidate that does the suggested steps and I ported
rs6000 target (both ELF and XCOFF sub-targets).

So far I was able to bootstrap on ppc6le-linux-gnu.

Thoughts?

+extern GTY(()) rs6000_asm_out_state *target_casm;

this seems to be unused

+#define rs6000_casm static_cast<rs6000_asm_out_state *> (casm)

maybe there's a better way?  Though I can't think of one at the moment.
There are only 10 uses so eventually we can put the
static_cast into all places.  Let's ask the powerpc maintainers (CCed).

Note you do

+/* Implement TARGET_ASM_INIT_SECTIONS.  */
+
+static asm_out_state *
+rs6000_elf_asm_init_sections (void)
+{
+  rs6000_asm_out_state *target_state
+    = new (ggc_alloc<rs6000_asm_out_state> ()) rs6000_asm_out_state ();
+  target_state->init_elf_sections ();
+  target_state->init_sections ();
+
+  return target_state;
+}

If you'd have made init_sections virtual the flow would be more
natural and we could separate section init from casm construction
(and rs6000 would override init_sections but call the base function
from the override).

Alternatively asm_out_state::init_sections could move into the
CTOR itself so the target hook doesn't need to explicitely call it
(I guess I prefer that variant).

Otherwise looks great - there are of course a few other targets
left to fixup.

This is possibly a silly question, but what does the "c" stand for in
"casm"?   "compiler"? "compilation"? "common"?

Sorry if it's explained somewhere, but I didn't spot this when glancing
at the patches.

'current' like cfun or crtl .. maybe just following "bad" examples?

Sure, it can be a static variable in rs6000.c for GGC marking purpose.

Or we can wrap it with a function call doing the casting?

Yes, we can do an overridable function. Note there's small trick in the base
init_sections function:

   if (readonly_data_section == NULL)
     readonly_data_section = text_section;

So it needs to be run after a derived version.

Yep. To be honest I'm quite happy with the current implementation and let's
see what PPC guys say about it.

Ah, it's for GGC marking.  In that case we should probably use
user marking to be able to use the casm root and call a virtual
mark() function from the ggc_mark overload?  I failed to see the place
you initialize the global variable btw.

Uh.  Maybe we can unconditionally set it to text_section and
simply have the target override it if needed.

Yeah.  Let's think of the GGC stuff a bit, having extra globals for the GC roots
of the correct type doesn't look sustainable?  That is, I'd have


+struct GTY((user)) asm_out_state
+{...
     virtual void gt_ggc_mx ();
  };

void
asm_out_state::gt_ggc_mx ()
{
  ggc_test_and_set_mark (sec.text);
...
}

void
gt_ggc_mx (asm_out_state *s)
{
  s->gt_ggc_mx ();
}

and have targets derive gt_ggc_mx for their members (well, ideally of course
gengtype would magically provide those definitions...).  The above also means
we could allocate asm_out_state on the heap(?)

It's disgusting, and fragile.  The define is slightly better than having
to write it out every time.  But can this not be done properly?

If you use object-oriented stuff and need casts for that, you are doing
something wrong.

I think the "proper" fix would be to make 'casm' have the correct type
in the first place - of course that would either mean that the target
needs to provide the (possibly derived) type, for example via a typedef
in the target structure or a classical target macro.  If gengtype would
know about inheritance that would also fix the GC marking issue.
Of course encoding a static type in the target structure is the
wrong direction from making targets "switchable".

Other than that my C++ fu is too weak to suggest the correct "pattern"
here.

Hi.

I've got one more approach where the asm_out_state would contain all
target-specific sections (I guess there will be some overlap in between targets).
And then target inherited class can do the initialization.

What do you think?
Cheers,
Martin

Do we want gengtype to do inheritance, will it solve more future
problems, or will it *cause* more problems later?

Yes.

Our coding convention says to use "class", not "struct" (since this
isn't valid C code at all).

Hrm, maybe we can have a macro or function that does this, ggc_new or
something?

Here, too.  Both implementations are each one of several functions that
together implement the target macro.

Nothing here?  Just remove the comment header?

The idea looks fine to me.

Yeah, of course then the target hook does not need to do the allocation
and we could simply keep the current init_sections hook but change it
to take the asm_out_state to initialize as argument.

Note that I'd put

+    /* RS6000 sections.  */
+
+    /* ELF sections.  */
+    section *toc;
+    section *sdata2;
+
+    /* XCOFF sections.  */
+    section *read_only_data;
+    section *private_data;
+    section *tls_data;
+    section *tls_private_data;
+    section *read_only_private_data;

into a union, thus

   union {
       struct /* RS6000 sections */ {
           /* ELF sections.  */
          section *toc;
...
       } rs6000;
       struct /* darwin sections */ {
 ...
   };

not sure whether we need some magic GTY marking here to make
it pick up the 'correct' set.  Another alternative would be

         section *target[MAX_TARGET_SECTIONS];

and #defines in the targets mapping the former global variables to
indices in that array.

All of this isn't "nice C++" of course, but well ... I'm not the one
to insist ;)

Union is a bit tricky for GGC marking script, but we can manage that.

Anyway, I took a look at targets that do call the init_sections hook and I noticed
Darwin uses pretty many sections and comes up with an array that is defined here:
./gcc/config/darwin-sections.def

I tend to creating all sections in asm_out_state with DEF_SECTION, where the list
will be extensible with a target-specific definition list.

What do you think Richi?

Thanks,
Martin
