These test only the most basic aspect of parsing of function-like
macros. Specifically, none of the definitions of these function like
macros use the arguments of the function.
No function-like macros are implemented yet, so all of these fail for
now.
This is just a minor style improvement for now. But the same
mechanism, (having the lexer peek into the table of defined macros),
will be essential when we add function-like macros in addition to the
current object-like macros.
Previously we had two copies of all top-level actions, (once in a list
context and once in a non-list context). Much simpler to instead have
a single list-context production with no action and then only have the
actions in their own non-list contexts.
We are able to remove all state by simply passing NEWLINE through
as a token unconditionally (as opposed to only passing newline when
on a driective line as we did previously).
This isn't ideal for two reasons:
1. There's a bunch of stateful redundancy in the lexer that should be
cleaned up.
2. The hash table does not provide a mechanism to delete an entry, so
we waste memory to add a new NULL entry in front of the existing
entry with the same key.
But this does at least work, (it passes the recently added undef test
case).
The lexer was previously using strdup (expecting the parser to free),
but is now more consistent, easier to use, and slightly more efficent
by using talloc along with the parser.
Also, we add xtalloc and xtalloc_strdup wrappers around talloc and
talloc_strdup to put all of the out-of-memory-checking code in one
place.
We now store a list of tokens in our hash-table rather than a single
string. This lets us replace each macro in the value as necessary.
This code adds a link dependency on talloc which does exactly what we
want in terms of memory management for a parser.
The 3 tests added in the previous commit now pass.
These 3 new tests are modeled after 3 existing tests but made slightly
more complex since now instead of definining a new macro to be an
existing macro, we define it to be replaced with two tokens, (one a
literal, and one an existing macro).
These tests all fail currently because the replacement lookup is
currently happening on the basis of the entire replacement string
rather than on a list of tokens.
One with the chained defines in the opposite order, and one with the
potential to trigger an infinite-loop bug through mutual
recursion. Each of these tests pass already.
The fix is as simple as adding a loop to continue to lookup values
in the hash table until one of the following termination conditions:
1. The token we look up has no definition
2. We get back the original symbol we started with
This second termination condition prevents infinite iteration.
Validate desired test cases by ensuring the output of glcpp matches
the output of the gcc preprocessor, (ignoring any lines of the gcc
output beginning with '#').
Only one test case so far with a trivial #define.
Most of the current problems were (mostly) harmless things like
missing declarations, but there was at least one real error, (reversed
argument order for yyerrror).
This allows the final program to be 100% "valgrind clean", (freeing
all memory that it allocates). This will make it much easier to ensure
that any allocation that parser actions perform are also cleaned up.
