Hi!
Ye that should work since the lvalue:s are always created first.
I haven't tried it, but I should add it to the testcase, together with
some circular linked list thing, to see that nothing gets stuck
running in a circle.
Maybe I should verify this does not blow up the lib, too:
extern const int bar;
const int foo = bar;
const int bar = foo;
Hopefully my patch will complain about "not constant", and not try
to go all in C++ on it.
Regards, Petter

Ämne: Re: [PATCH] jit: Add support for global rvalue initialization and ctors
Hi,
I would favor adding support for this kind of initialization to libgccjit.
Does it also support the libgccjit equivalent of the following C module, which
contains forward references in the struct initializers?
struct bar bar;
struct foo foo;
struct foo
{
struct bar *b;
};
struct bar
{
struct foo *f;
};
struct bar bar = {.f = &foo};
struct foo foo = {.b = &bar};
Thanks,
Marc

Hi!
I have wrapped up the patch than adds support for initialization of global
variables
with rvalues aswell as rvalue constructors for structs, arrays and unions.
New entrypoints are:
gcc_jit_global_set_initializer_rvalue
Which sets the initial value of a global to a rvalue.
And:
gcc_jit_context_new_array_constructor
gcc_jit_context_new_struct_constructor
gcc_jit_context_new_union_constructor
Those three makes a constructor with a rvalue that e.g. can be assigned to a
local or returned
from a function, or most importantly used to set the initial value of global
variables
with gcc_jit_global_set_initializer_rvalue.
If no fields are specified for a struct or union to the constructors,
definition order is assumed.
There can be gaps in the fields specified to the struct constructor, but they
need to be in order.
For pointer arithmetic to work with setting DECL_INITIAL, alot of folding is
added.
make check-jit runs fine on gnu-linux-x64 Debian.
