    * Register allocator finished

  Revision 1.53  2003/05/31 20:33:57  jonas
    * temp fix/hack for nested procedures (disable regvars in all procedures
      that have nested procedures)
    * leave register parameters in their own register (instead of storing
      them to memory or assigning them to another register) if the current
      procedure doesn't call any other procedures

  Revision 1.52  2003/05/30 18:55:21  jonas

    * removed some obsolete globals

  Revision 1.48  2003/05/12 17:22:00  jonas
    * fixed (last?) remaining -tvarsym(X).address to
      tg.direction*tvarsym(X).address...

  Revision 1.47  2003/04/27 11:21:34  peter

      to also generate a tprocinfo structure
    * fixed unit implicit initfinal

  Revision 1.46  2003/03/28 19:16:57  peter
    * generic constructor working for i386
    * remove fixed self register
    * esi added as address register for i386

  Revision 1.45  2003/02/19 22:00:14  daniel

    * sym.insert_in_data removed
    * symtable.insertvardata/insertconstdata added
    * removed insert_in_data call from symtable.insert, it needs to be
      called separatly. This allows to deref the address calculation
    * procedures now calculate the parast addresses after the procedure
      directives are parsed. This fixes the cdecl parast problem
    * push_addr_param has an extra argument that specifies if cdecl is used
      or not

  Revision 1.33  2002/05/18 13:34:17  peter
    * readded missing revisions

  Revision 1.32  2002/05/16 19:46:44  carl
  + defines.inc -> fpcdefs.inc to avoid conflicts if compiling by hand
  + try to fix temp allocation (still in ifdef)
  + generic constructor calls
  + start of tassembler / tmodulebase class cleanup

  Revision 1.30  2002/05/12 16:53:10  peter
    * moved entry and exitcode to ncgutil and cgobj
    * foreach gets extra argument for passing local data to the
      iterator function
    * -CR checks also class typecasts at runtime by changing them
      into as

      be watched
    * removed a lot of routines from cga unit and replaced them by
      calls to cgobj
    * u32bit-s32bit updates for and,or,xor nodes. When one element is
      u32bit then the other is typecasted also to u32bit without giving
      a rangecheck warning/error.
    * fixed pascal calling method with reversing also the high tree in
      the parast, detected by tcalcst3 test

  Revision 1.29  2002/04/21 15:23:34  carl
  + changeregsize -> makeregsize

  Revision 1.28  2002/04/19 15:46:03  peter
    * mangledname rewrite, tprocdef.mangledname is now created dynamicly
      in most cases and not written to the ppu
    * add mangeledname_prefix() routine to generate the prefix of
      manglednames depending on the current procedure, object and module
    * removed static procprefix since the mangledname is now build only

  Revision 1.27  2002/04/15 19:44:19  peter
    * fixed stackcheck that would be called recursively when a stack
      error was found
    * generic changeregsize(reg,size) for i386 register resizing
    * removed some more routines from cga unit
    * fixed returnvalue handling
    * fixed default stacksize of linux and go32v2, 8kb was a bit small :-)

  Revision 1.26  2002/04/15 19:04:04  carl
  + reg2str -> std_reg2str()

  Revision 1.25  2002/04/06 18:13:01  jonas
    * several powerpc-related additions and fixes

  Revision 1.24  2002/04/02 17:11:29  peter
    * tlocation,treference update
    * LOC_CONSTANT added for better constant handling
    * secondadd splitted in multiple routines
    * location_force_reg added for loading a location to a register
      of a specified size
    * secondassignment parses now first the right and then the left node
      (this is compatible with Kylix). This saves a lot of push/pop especially
      with string operations
    * adapted some routines to use the new cg methods

  Revision 1.23  2002/03/31 20:26:36  jonas
    + a_loadfpu_* and a_loadmm_* methods in tcg
    * register allocation is now handled by a class and is mostly processor
      independent (+rgobj.pas and i386/rgcpu.pas)
    * temp allocation is now handled by a class (+tgobj.pas, -i386\tgcpu.pas)
    * some small improvements and fixes to the optimizer
    * some register allocation fixes
    * some fpuvaroffset fixes in the unary minus node
    * push/popusedregisters is now called rg.save/restoreusedregisters and
      (for i386) uses temps instead of push/pop's when using -Op3 (that code is
      also better optimizable)
    * fixed and optimized register saving/restoring for new/dispose nodes
    * LOC_FPU locations now also require their "register" field to be set to
      R_ST, not R_ST0 (the latter is used for LOC_CFPUREGISTER locations only)
    - list field removed of the tnode class because it's not used currently
      and can cause hard-to-find bugs
