  $Log$
  Revision 1.48  2003-04-27 11:21:33  peter
    * aktprocdef renamed to current_procdef
    * procinfo renamed to current_procinfo
    * procinfo will now be stored in current_module so it can be
      cleaned up properly
    * gen_main_procsym changed to create_main_proc and release_main_proc
      to also generate a tprocinfo structure
    * fixed unit implicit initfinal

  Revision 1.47  2003/04/25 20:59:33  peter
    * removed funcretn,funcretsym, function result is now in varsym
      and aliases for result and function name are added using absolutesym
    * vs_hidden parameter for funcret passed in parameter
    * vs_hidden fixes
    * writenode changed to printnode and released from extdebug
    * -vp option added to generate a tree.log with the nodetree
    * nicer printnode for statements, callnode

  Revision 1.46  2002/04/25 20:15:39  florian
    * block nodes within expressions shouldn't release the used registers,
      fixed using a flag till the new rg is ready

  Revision 1.45  2003/04/23 08:41:34  jonas
    * fixed ttemprefnode.compare and .getcopy to take offset field into
      account

  Revision 1.44  2003/04/22 23:50:22  peter
    * firstpass uses expectloc
    * checks if there are differences between the expectloc and
      location.loc from secondpass in EXTDEBUG

  Revision 1.43  2003/04/21 15:00:22  jonas
    * fixed tstatementnode.det_resulttype and tststatementnode.pass_1
    * fixed some getcopy issues with ttemp*nodes

  Revision 1.42  2003/04/17 07:50:24  daniel
    * Some work on interference graph construction

  Revision 1.41  2003/04/12 14:53:59  jonas
    * ttempdeletenode.create now sets the nodetype to tempdeleten instead of
      temprefn

  Revision 1.40  2003/03/17 20:30:46  peter
    * errornode.mark_write added

  Revision 1.39  2003/01/03 12:15:55  daniel
    * Removed ifdefs around notifications
      ifdefs around for loop optimizations remain

  Revision 1.38  2002/11/27 02:37:12  peter
    * case statement inlining added
    * fixed inlining of write()
    * switched statementnode left and right parts so the statements are
      processed in the correct order when getcopy is used. This is
      required for tempnodes

  Revision 1.37  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 1.36  2002/10/05 15:15:19  peter
    * don't complain in X- mode for internal generated function calls
      with funcretrefnode set
    * give statement error at the correct line position instead of the
      block begin

  Revision 1.35  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 1.34  2002/08/18 20:06:23  peter
    * inlining is now also allowed in interface
    * renamed write/load to ppuwrite/ppuload
    * tnode storing in ppu
    * nld,ncon,nbas are already updated for storing in ppu

  Revision 1.33  2002/08/17 22:09:44  florian
    * result type handling in tcgcal.pass_2 overhauled
    * better tnode.printnodetree
    * some ppc stuff fixed

  Revision 1.32  2002/08/17 09:23:34  florian
    * first part of procinfo rewrite

  Revision 1.31  2002/08/15 19:10:35  peter
    * first things tai,tnode storing in ppu

  Revision 1.30  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 1.29  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 1.28  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 1.27  2002/07/01 18:46:22  peter
    * internal linker
    * reorganized aasm layer

  Revision 1.26  2002/06/24 12:43:00  jonas
    * fixed errors found with new -CR code from Peter when cycling with -O2p3r

  Revision 1.25  2002/05/18 13:34:09  peter
    * readded missing revisions

  Revision 1.24  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 1.22  2002/04/23 19:16:34  peter
    * add pinline unit that inserts compiler supported functions using
      one or more statements
    * moved finalize and setlength from ninl to pinline

  Revision 1.21  2002/04/21 19:02:03  peter
    * removed newn and disposen nodes, the code is now directly
      inlined from pexpr
    * -an option that will write the secondpass nodes to the .s file, this
      requires EXTDEBUG define to actually write the info
    * fixed various internal errors and crashes due recent code changes

  Revision 1.20  2002/04/04 19:05:57  peter
    * removed unused units
    * use tlocation.size in cg.a_*loc*() routines

  Revision 1.19  2002/03/31 20:26:33  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
