      location.loc from secondpass in EXTDEBUG

  Revision 1.58  2003/01/03 17:17:26  peter
    * use compare_def_ext to test if assignn operator is allowed

  Revision 1.57  2003/01/02 22:21:19  peter
    * fixed previous operator change

  Revision 1.56  2003/01/02 19:50:21  peter
    * fixed operator checking for objects
    * made binary operator checking simpeler

  Revision 1.55  2002/12/27 18:06:32  peter
    * fix overload error for dynarr:=nil

  Revision 1.54  2002/12/22 16:34:49  peter
    * proc-procvar crash fixed (tw2277)

  Revision 1.53  2002/12/11 22:39:24  peter
    * better error message when no operator is found for equal

  Revision 1.52  2002/11/27 22:11:59  peter
    * rewrote isbinaryoverloadable to use a case. it's now much easier
      to understand what is happening

  Revision 1.51  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 1.50  2002/10/07 20:12:08  peter
    * ugly hack to fix tb0411

  Revision 1.49  2002/10/05 00:47:03  peter
    * support dynamicarray<>nil

  Revision 1.48  2002/10/04 21:13:59  peter
    * ignore vecn,subscriptn when checking for a procvar loadn

  Revision 1.47  2002/09/16 18:09:34  peter
    * set_funcret_valid fixed when result was already used in a nested
      procedure

  Revision 1.46  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 1.45  2002/05/18 13:34:08  peter
    * readded missing revisions

  Revision 1.44  2002/05/16 19:46:37  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 1.42  2002/04/02 17:11:28  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 1.41  2002/01/16 09:33:46  jonas
    * no longer allow assignments to pointer expressions (unless there's a
      deref), reported by John Lee
