        the candidate that has the most exact parameters, next

    * the never ending story of tp procvar hacks

  Revision 1.111  2002/11/27 02:31:17  peter
    * fixed inlinetree parsing in det_resulttype

  Revision 1.110  2002/11/25 18:43:32  carl

   + implemented abstract warning on instance creation of class with
      abstract methods.
   * some error message cleanups

  Revision 1.109  2002/11/25 17:43:17  peter
    * splitted defbase in defutil,symutil,defcmp
    * merged isconvertable and is_equal into compare_defs(_ext)
    * made operator search faster by walking the list only once

  Revision 1.108  2002/11/18 17:31:54  peter
    * pass proccalloption to ret_in_xxx and push_xxx functions

  Revision 1.107  2002/11/15 01:58:50  peter
    * merged changes from 1.0.7 up to 04-11
      - -V option for generating bug report tracing
      - more tracing for option parsing
      - errors for cdecl and high()
      - win32 import stabs
      - win32 records<=8 are returned in eax:edx (turned off by default)
      - heaptrc update
      - more info for temp management in .s file with EXTDEBUG

  Revision 1.106  2002/10/14 18:20:30  carl
    * var parameter checking for classes and interfaces in Delphi mode

  Revision 1.105  2002/10/06 21:02:17  peter
    * fixed limit checking for qword

  Revision 1.104  2002/10/05 15:15:45  peter
    * Write unknwon compiler proc using Comment and only in Extdebug

  Revision 1.103  2002/10/05 12:43:25  carl
    * fixes for Delphi 6 compilation
     (warning : Some features do not work under Delphi)

  Revision 1.102  2002/10/05 00:48:57  peter
    * support inherited; support for overload as it is handled by
      delphi. This is only for delphi mode as it is working is
      undocumented and hard to predict what is done

  Revision 1.101  2002/09/16 14:11:12  peter
    * add argument to equal_paras() to support default values or not

  Revision 1.100  2002/09/15 17:49:59  peter
    * don't have strict var parameter checking for procedures in the
      system unit

  Revision 1.99  2002/09/09 19:30:34  peter
    * don't allow convertable parameters for var and out parameters in
      delphi and tp mode

  Revision 1.98  2002/09/07 15:25:02  peter
    * old logs removed and tabs fixed

  Revision 1.97  2002/09/07 12:16:05  carl
    * second part bug report 1996 fix, testrange in cordconstnode
      only called if option is set (also make parsing a tiny faster)

  Revision 1.96  2002/09/05 14:53:41  peter
    * fixed old callnode.det_resulttype code
    * old ncal code is default again

  Revision 1.95  2002/09/03 21:32:49  daniel
    * Small bugfix for procdef selection

  Revision 1.94  2002/09/03 19:27:22  daniel
    * Activated new ncal code

  Revision 1.93  2002/09/03 16:26:26  daniel
    * Make Tprocdef.defs protected

  Revision 1.92  2002/09/01 13:28:37  daniel
   - write_access fields removed in favor of a flag

  Revision 1.91  2002/09/01 12:14:15  peter
    * remove debug line
    * containself methods can be called directly

  Revision 1.90  2002/09/01 08:01:16  daniel
   * Removed sets from Tcallnode.det_resulttype
   + Added read/write notifications of variables. These will be usefull
     for providing information for several optimizations. For example
     the value of the loop variable of a for loop does matter is the
     variable is read after the for loop, but if it's no longer used
     or written, it doesn't matter and this can be used to optimize
     the loop code generation.

  Revision 1.89  2002/08/23 16:13:16  peter
    * also firstpass funcretrefnode if available. This was breaking the
      asnode compilerproc code

  Revision 1.88  2002/08/20 10:31:26  daniel
   * Tcallnode.det_resulttype rewritten

  Revision 1.87  2002/08/19 19:36:42  peter
    * More fixes for cross unit inlining, all tnodes are now implemented
    * Moved pocall_internconst to po_internconst because it is not a
      calling type at all and it conflicted when inlining of these small
      functions was requested

  Revision 1.86  2002/08/17 22:09:44  florian
    * result type handling in tcgcal.pass_2 overhauled
    * better tnode.dowrite
    * some ppc stuff fixed

  Revision 1.85  2002/08/17 09:23:34  florian
    * first part of procinfo rewrite

  Revision 1.84  2002/08/16 14:24:57  carl
    * issameref() to test if two references are the same (then emit no opcodes)
    + ret_in_reg to replace ret_in_acc
      (fix some register allocation bugs at the same time)
    + save_std_register now has an extra parameter which is the
      usedinproc registers

  Revision 1.83  2002/07/20 11:57:53  florian
    * types.pas renamed to defbase.pas because D6 contains a types
      unit so this would conflicts if D6 programms are compiled
    + Willamette/SSE2 instructions to assembler added

  Revision 1.82  2002/07/19 11:41:35  daniel
  * State tracker work
  * The whilen and repeatn are now completely unified into whilerepeatn. This
    allows the state tracker to change while nodes automatically into
    repeat nodes.
  * Resulttypepass improvements to the notn. 'not not a' is optimized away and
    'not(a>b)' is optimized into 'a<=b'.
  * Resulttypepass improvements to the whilerepeatn. 'while not a' is optimized
    by removing the notn and later switchting the true and falselabels. The
    same is done with 'repeat until not a'.

  Revision 1.81  2002/07/15 18:03:14  florian
    * readded removed changes

  Revision 1.79  2002/07/11 14:41:27  florian
    * start of the new generic parameter handling

  Revision 1.80  2002/07/14 18:00:43  daniel
  + Added the beginning of a state tracker. This will track the values of
    variables through procedures and optimize things away.

  Revision 1.78  2002/07/04 20:43:00  florian
    * first x86-64 patches
