~cnx/roux - Alternative QBE compiler

Age	Commit message (Collapse)	Author
2021-03-02	add data $name = section "section" ...	Drew DeVault
	This allows you to explicitly specify the section to emit the data directive for, allowing for sections other than .data: for example, .bss or .init_array.
2017-02-15	add support for closure calls	Quentin Carbonneaux
	Compiling languages with closures often requires passing an extra environment parameter to the called function. One solution is to use a convention, and reserve, say, the first argument for that purpose. However, that makes binding to C a little less smooth. Alternatively, QBE now provides a way to remain fully ABI compatible with C by having a "hidden" environment argument (marked with the keyword 'env'). Calling a function expecting an environment from C will make the contents of the environment undefined, but the normal arguments will be passed without alteration. Conversely, calling a C function like it is a closure by passing it an environemnt will work smoothly.
2017-02-10	support variable argument lists	Quentin Carbonneaux
	This change is backward compatible, calls to "variadic" functions (like printf) must now be annotated (with ...).
