This commit heavily reworks how we handle returned values, making things
a bit more elegant.
Apart from this, it fixes how were handling types that on the model are
aggregates but were being returned via registers on the IR.
Fix the needed attributes to allow navigation from the use of an
artificial return struct for raw functions to their definition in
`types-and-globals.h`.
Before this commit, the `printDefinition` helper functions for
`StructType` and `UnionType` were printing a duplicated whitespace when
generating the inline type definition as part of the declaration of a
field of a struct or union.
This commit skips the redundant whitespace when relevant.
This commit reorders the argument passed to various `printDeclaration`
and `printDefinition` helper functions, to make them more uniform across
each other, and to accept the same arguments in the same order.
This commit:
* Introduces `_` as a prefix for all non-user entities we emit in
decompiled code.
Also, some names have been changed to be more concise.
Specifically, the following entities have changed:
`_ENUM_UNDERLYING`, `_ABI`, `_REG`, `_padding_at_`,
`_artificial_struct_`, `_artificial_wrapper_`, `_stack`,
`_break_from_loop_`, `_var_`, `_stack_arguments`,
`_artificial_struct_returned_`, `_enum_max_value_`.
* Introduce _PACKED for `__attribute__((packed))`.
* `EnumEntry` name: drop the `EnumType` name prefix.
This analysis will be used for the following features:
1) Edit Type in the Model
2) Edit Function Prototype in the Model
3) Add Type to the Model
It takes C code as an input, parses it and produces a Model
type that represents the C type.
In ModelToHeader generate Inline Types in PTML by handling
Structs, Unions and Enums.
In addition, during the ModelToHeader we avoid producing
Structs that describe stacks, and in the DecompileFunction we
produce the definition of it inline if it is safe (referenced
only once).
This commit does various things oriented at reducing the number of local
variables emitted in C:
- MarkAssignments now know that @Copy and @Assign involving
@LocalVariable only have side effects that affect the local variable
itself; this enables to reduce the number of times we're forced to
emit a local variable due to interfering side effects
- Drop the @AssignmentMarker FunctionTag; AddAssignmentMarkerPass now
doesn't emit @AssignmentMarker anymore; instead it emits groups of
@LocalVariable, @Copy, and @Assign, which benefit from the previous
point
- Drop 2 MarkAssignments::Reasons: HasManyUses and HasUsesOutsideOfBB;
both these have now been aggregated into the AlwaysAssign reason for
simplicity, representing all reasons non involving side effects
- Update BeautifyGHAST and how it reasons about side effects when
beautifying; before this commit it used @AssignmentMarker, now it
looks at @Assign
- Simplify ExitSSA; before this commit it was trying hard to be smart on
where it emitted the store instructions representing the incoming
values of the PHI that was being destroyed; this seemed smart when we
originally did it but it generated C code that was not really better
to read, so this useless complexity is finally gone
