-The following changes (change numbers refer to perforce) were
-made from version 3.1.1 to 3.1.2
-
-Runtime
--------
-
-Change 5641 on 2009/02/20 by jimi@jimi.jimi.antlr3
-
- Release version 3.1.2 of the ANTLR C runtime.
-
- Updated documents and release notes will have to follow later.
-
-Change 5639 on 2009/02/20 by jimi@jimi.jimi.antlr3
-
- Fixed: ANTLR-356
-
- Ensure that code generation for C++ does not require casts
-
-Change 5577 on 2009/02/12 by jimi@jimi.jimi.antlr3
-
- C Runtime - Bug fixes.
-
- o Having moved to use an extract directly from a vector for returning
- tokens, it exposed a
- bug whereby the EOF boudary calculation in tokLT was incorrectly
- checking > rather than >=.
- o Changing to API initialization of tokens rather than memcmp()
- incorrectly forgot to set teh input stream pointer for the
- manufactured tokens in the token factory;
- o Rewrite streams for rewriting tree parsers did not check whether the
- rewrite stream was ever assigned before trying to free it, it is now
- in line with the ordinary parser code.
-
-Change 5576 on 2009/02/11 by jimi@jimi.jimi.antlr3
-
- C Runtime: Ensure that when we manufacture a new token for a missing
- token, that the user suplied custom information (if any) is copied
- from the current token.
-
-Change 5575 on 2009/02/08 by jimi@jimi.jimi.antlr3
-
- C Runtime - Vastly improve the reuse of allocated memory for nodes in
- tree rewriting.
-
- A problem for all targets at the moment si that the rewrite logic
- generated by ANTLR makes no attempt
- to reuse any resources, it merely gurantees that the tree shape at the
- end is correct. To some extent this is mitigated by the garbage
- collection systems of Java and .Net, even thoguh it is still an overhead to
- keep creating so many modes.
-
- This change implements the first of two C runtime changes that make
- best efforst to track when a node has become orphaned and will never
- be reused, based on inherent knowledge of the rewrite logic (which in
- the long term is not a great soloution).
-
- Much of the rewrite logic consists of creating a niilnode into which
- child nodes are appended. At: rulePost processing time; when a rewrite
- stream is closed; and when becomeRoot is called, there are many situations
- where the root of the tree that will be manipulted, or is finished with
- (in the case of rewrtie streams), where the nilNode was just a temporary
- creation for the sake of the rewrite itself.
-
- In these cases we can see that the nilNode would just be left ot rot in
- the node factory that tracks all the tree nodes.
- Rather than leave these in the factory to rot, we now keep a resuse
- stck and always reuse any node on this
- stack before claimin a new node from the factory pool.
-
- This single change alone reduces memory usage in the test case (20,604
- line C program and a GNU C parser)
- from nearly a GB, to 276MB. This is still way more memory than we
- shoudl need to do this operation, even on such a large input file,
- but the reduction results in a huge performance increase and greatly
- reduced system time spent on allocations.
-
- After this optimizatoin, comparison with gcc yeilds:
-
- time gcc -S a.c
- a.c:1026: warning: conflicting types for built-in function ‘vsprintf’
- a.c:1030: warning: conflicting types for built-in function ‘vsnprintf’
- a.c:1041: warning: conflicting types for built-in function ‘vsscanf’

- 0inputs+0outputs (0major+66609minor)pagefaults 0swaps
-
- And we can now interpolate the fact that the only major differnce is
- now the huge disparity in memory allocations. A
- future optimization of vector pooling, to sepate node resue from vector
- reuse, currently looks promising for further reuse of memory.
-
- Finally, a static analysis of the rewrte code, plus a realtime analysis
- of the heap at runtime, may well give us a reasonable memory usage
- pattern. In reality though, it is the generated rewrite logic
- that must becom optional at not continuously rewriting things that it
- need not, as it ascends the rule chain.
-
-Change 5563 on 2009/01/28 by jimi@jimi.jimi.antlr3
-
- Allow rewrite streams to use the base adaptors vector factory and not
- try to malloc new vectors themselves.
-
-Change 5562 on 2009/01/28 by jimi@jimi.jimi.antlr3
-
- Don't use CALLOC to allocate tree pools, use malloc as there is no need
- for calloc.
-
-Change 5561 on 2009/01/28 by jimi@jimi.jimi.antlr3
-
- Prevent warnigsn about retval.stop not being initialized when a rule
- returns eraly because it is in backtracking mode
-
-Change 5558 on 2009/01/28 by jimi@jimi.jimi.antlr3
-
- Lots of optimizations (though the next one to be checked in is the huge
- win) for AST building and vector factories.
-
- A large part of tree rewriting was the creation of vectors to hold AST
- nodes. Although I had created a vector factory, for some reason I never got
- around to creating a proper one, that pre-allocated the vectors in chunks and
- so on. I guess I just forgot to. Hence a big win here is prevention of calling
- malloc lots and lots of times to create vectors.
-
- A second inprovement was to change teh vector definition such that it
- holds a certain number of elements wihtin the vector structure itself, rather
- than malloc and freeing these. Currently this is set to 8, but may increase.
- For AST construction, this is generally a big win because AST nodes don't often
- have many individual children unless there has not been any shaping going on in
- the parser. But if you are not shaping, then you don't really need a tree.
-
- Other perforamnce inprovements here include not calling functions
- indirectly within token stream and common token stream. Hence tokens are
- claimed directly from the vectors. Users can override these funcitons of course
- and all this means is that if you override tokenstreams then you pretty much
- have to provide all the mehtods, but then I think you woudl have to anyway (and
- I don't know of anyone that has wanted to do this as you can carry your own
- structure around with the tokens anyway and that is much easier).
-
-Change 5555 on 2009/01/26 by jimi@jimi.jimi.antlr3
-
- Fixed: ANTLR-288
- Correct the interpretation of the skip token such that channel, start
- index, char pos in lie, start line and text are correctly reset to the start of
- the new token when the one that we just traversed was marked as being skipped.
-
- This correctly excludes the text that was matched as part of the
- SKIP()ed token from the next token in the token stream and so has the side
- effect that asking for $text of a rule no longer includes the text that shuodl
- be skipped, but DOES include the text of tokens that were merely placed off the
- default channel.
-
-Change 5551 on 2009/01/25 by jimi@jimi.jimi.antlr3
-
- Fixed: ANTLR-287
- Most of the source files did not include the BSD license. THis might
- not be that big a deal given that I don't care what people do with it
- other than take my name off it, but having the license reproduced
- everywhere
- at least makes things perfectly clear. Hence this mass change of
- sources and templates
- to include the license.
-
-Change 5550 on 2009/01/25 by jimi@jimi.jimi.antlr3
-
- Fixed: ANTLR-365
- Ensure that as soon as we known about an input stream on the lexer that
- we borrow its string factroy adn use it in our EOF token in case
- anyone tries to make it a string, such as in error messages for
- instance.
-
-Change 5548 on 2009/01/25 by jimi@jimi.jimi.antlr3
-
- Fixed: ANTLR-363
- At some point the Java runtime default changed from discarding offchannel
- tokens to preserving them. The fix is to make the C runtime also
- default to preserving off-channel tokens.
-
-Change 5544 on 2009/01/24 by jimi@jimi.jimi.antlr3
-
- Fixed: ANTLR-360
- Ensure that the fillBuffer funtiion does not call any methods
- that require the cached buffer size to be recorded before we
- have actually recorded it.
-
-Change 5543 on 2009/01/24 by jimi@jimi.jimi.antlr3
-
- Fixed: ANTLR-362
- Some users have started using string factories themselves and
- exposed a flaw in the destroy method, that is intended to remove
- a strng htat was created by the factory and is no longer needed.
- The string was correctly removed from the vector that tracks them
- but after the first one, all the remaining strings are then numbered
- incorrectly. Hence the destroy method has been recoded to reindex
- the strings in the factory after one is removed and everythig is once
- more hunky dory.
- User suggested fix rejected.
-
-Change 5542 on 2009/01/24 by jimi@jimi.jimi.antlr3
-
- Fixed ANTLR-366
- The recognizer state now ensures that all fields are set to NULL upon
-creation
- and the reset does not overwrite the tokenname array
-
-Change 5527 on 2009/01/15 by jimi@jimi.jimi.antlr3
-
- Add the C runtime for 3.1.2 beta2 to perforce
-
-Change 5526 on 2009/01/15 by jimi@jimi.jimivista.antlr3
-
- Correctly define the MEMMOVE macro which was inadvertently left to be
- memcpy.
-
-Change 5503 on 2008/12/12 by jimi@jimi.jimi.antlr3
-
- Change C runtime release number to 3.1.2 beta
-
-Change 5473 on 2008/12/01 by jimi@jimi.jimivista.antlr3
-
- Fixed: ANTLR-350 - C runtime use of memcpy
- Prior change to use memcpy instead of memmove in all cases missed the
- fact that the string factory can be in a situation where overlaps occur. We now
- have ANTLR3_MEMCPY and ANTLR3_MEMMOVE and use the two appropriately.
-
-Change 5471 on 2008/12/01 by jimi@jimi.jimivista.antlr3
-
- Fixed ANTLR-361
- - Ensure that ANTLR3_BOOLEAN is typedef'ed correctly when building for
- MingW
-
-Templates
----------
-
-Change 5637 on 2009/02/20 by jimi@jimi.jimi.antlr3
-
- C rtunime - make sure that ADAPTOR results are cast to the tree type on
- a rewrite
-
-Change 5620 on 2009/02/18 by jimi@jimi.jimi.antlr3
-
- Rename/Move:
- From: //depot/code/antlr/main/src/org/antlr/codegen/templates/...
- To: //depot/code/antlr/main/src/main/resources/org/antlr/codegen/templates/...
-
- Relocate the code generating templates to exist in the directory set
- that maven expects.
-
- When checking in your templates, you may find it easiest to make a copy
- of what you have, revert the change in perforce, then just check out the
- template in the new location, and copy the changes back over. Nobody has oore
- than two files open at the moment.
-
-Change 5578 on 2009/02/12 by jimi@jimi.jimi.antlr3
-

-
- o Having moved to use an extract directly from a vector for returning

- bug whereby the EOF boudary calculation in tokLT was incorrectly
- checking > rather than
- >=.
- o Changing to API initialization of tokens rather than memcmp()
- incorrectly forgot to
- set teh input stream pointer for the manufactured tokens in the
- token factory;
- o Rewrite streams for rewriting tree parsers did not check whether the
- rewrite stream
- was ever assigned before trying to free it, it is now in line with
- the ordinary parser code.
-
-Change 5567 on 2009/01/29 by jimi@jimi.jimi.antlr3
-
- C Runtime - Further Optimizations
-
- Within grammars that used scopes and were intended to parse large
- inputs with many rule nests,
- the creation anf deletion of the scopes themselves became significant.
- Careful analysis shows that
- for most grammars, while a parse could create and delete 20,000 scopes,
- the maxium depth of
- any scope was only 8.
-
- This change therefore changes the scope implementation so that it does
- not free scope memory when
- it is popped but just tracks it in a C runtime stack, eventually
- freeing it when the stack is freed. This change
- caused the allocation of only 12 scope structures instead of 20,000 for
- the extreme example case.
-
- This change means that scope users must be carefule (as ever in C) to
- initializae their scope elements
- correctly as:
-
- 1) If not you may inherit values from a prior use of the scope
- structure;
- 2) SCope structure are now allocated with malloc and not calloc;
-
- Also, when using a custom free function to clean a scope when it is
- popped, it is probably a good idea
- to set any free'd pointers to NULL (this is generally good C programmig
- practice in any case)
-
-Change 5566 on 2009/01/29 by jimi@jimi.jimi.antlr3
-
- Remove redundant BACKTRACK checking so that MSVC9 does not get confused
- about possibly uninitialized variables
-
-Change 5565 on 2009/01/28 by jimi@jimi.jimi.antlr3
-
- Use malloc rather than calloc to allocate memory for new scopes. Note
- that this means users will have to be careful to initialize any values in their
- scopes that they expect to be 0 or NULL and I must document this.
-
-Change 5564 on 2009/01/28 by jimi@jimi.jimi.antlr3
-
- Use malloc rather than calloc for copying list lable tokens for
- rewrites.
-
-Change 5561 on 2009/01/28 by jimi@jimi.jimi.antlr3
-
- Prevent warnigsn about retval.stop not being initialized when a rule
- returns eraly because it is in backtracking mode
-
-Change 5560 on 2009/01/28 by jimi@jimi.jimi.antlr3
-
- Add a NULL check before freeing rewrite streams used in AST rewrites
- rather than auto-rewrites.
-
- While the NULL check is redundant as the free cannot be called unless
- it is assigned, Visual Studio C 2008
- gets it wrong and thinks that there is a PATH than can arrive at the
- free wihtout it being assigned and that is too annoying to ignore.
-
-Change 5559 on 2009/01/28 by jimi@jimi.jimi.antlr3
-
- C target Tree rewrite optimization
-
- There is only one optimization in this change, but it is a huge one.
-
- The code generation templates were set up so that at the start of a rule,
- any rewrite streams mentioned in the rule wer pre-created. However, this
- is a massive overhead for rules where only one or two of the streams are
- actually used, as we create them then free them without ever using them.
- This was copied from the Java templates basically.
- This caused literally millions of extra calls and vector allocations
- in the case of the GNU C parser given to me for testing with a 20,000
- line program.
-
- After this change, the following comparison is avaiable against the gcc
- compiler:
-
- Before (different machines here so use the relative difference for
- comparison):
-
- gcc:
-
- real 0m0.425s
- user 0m0.384s
- sys 0m0.036s
-
- ANTLR C
- real 0m1.958s
- user 0m1.284s
- sys 0m0.656s
-
- After the previous optimizations for vector pooling via a factory,
- plus this huge win in removing redundant code, we have the following
- (different machine to the one above):
-
- gcc:
- 0.21user 0.01system 0:00.23elapsed 99%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k
- 0inputs+328outputs (0major+9922minor)pagefaults 0swaps
-
- ANTLR C:
-
- 0.37user 0.26system 0:00.64elapsed 99%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k
- 0inputs+0outputs (0major+130944minor)pagefaults 0swaps
-
- The extra system time coming from the fact that although the tree
- rewriting is now optimal in terms of not allocating things it does
- not need, there is still a lot more overhead in a parser that is generated
- for generic use, including much more use of structures for tokens and extra
- copying and so on. I will
- continue to work on improviing things where I can, but the next big
- improvement will come from Ter's optimization of the actual code structures we
- generate including not doing things with rewrite streams that we do not need to
- do at all.
-
- The second machine I used is about twice as fast CPU wise as the system
- that was used originally by the user that asked about this performance.

-
-Change 5554 on 2009/01/26 by jimi@jimi.jimi.antlr3
-
- Fixed: ANTLR-379
- For some reason in the past, the ruleMemozation() template had required
- that the name parameter be set to the rule name. This does not seem to be a
- requirement any more. The name=xxx override when invoking the template was
- causing all the scope names derived when cleaning up in memoization to be
- called after the rule name, which was not correct. Howver, this only affected
- the output when in output=AST mode.
-
- This template invocation is now corrected.
-
-Change 5553 on 2009/01/26 by jimi@jimi.jimi.antlr3
-
- Fixed: ANTLR-330
- Managed to get the one rule that could not see the ASTLabelType to call
- back in to the super template C.stg and ask it to construct hte name. I am not
- 100% sure that this fixes all cases, but I cannot find any that fail. PLease
- let me know if you find any exampoles of being unable to default the
- ASTLabelType option in the C target.
-
-Change 5552 on 2009/01/25 by jimi@jimi.jimi.antlr3
-
- Progress: ANTLR-327
- Fix debug code generation templates when output=AST such that code
- can at least be generated and I can debug the output code correctly.
- Note that this checkin does not implement the debugging requirements
- for tree generating parsers.
-
-Change 5551 on 2009/01/25 by jimi@jimi.jimi.antlr3
-
- Fixed: ANTLR-287

- sources and templates to include the license.
-
-Change 5549 on 2009/01/25 by jimi@jimi.jimi.antlr3
-
- Fixed: ANTLR-354
- Using 0.0D as the default initialize value for a double caused
- VS 2003 C compiler to bomb out. There seesm to be no reason other
- than force of habit to set this to 0.0D so I have dropped the D so
- that older compilers do not complain.
-
-Change 5547 on 2009/01/25 by jimi@jimi.jimi.antlr3
-
- Fixed: ANTLR-282
- All references are now unadorned with any type of NULL check for the
- following reasons:
-
- 1) A NULL reference means that there is a problem with the
- grammar and we need the program to fail immediately so
- that the programmer can work out where the problem occured;
- 2) Most of the time, the only sensible value that can be
- returned is NULL or 0 which
- obviates the NULL check in the first place;
- 3) If we replace a NULL reference with some value such as 0,
- then the program may blithely continue but just do something
- logically wrong, which will be very difficult for the
- grammar programmer to detect and correct.
-
-Change 5545 on 2009/01/24 by jimi@jimi.jimi.antlr3
-
- Fixed: ANTLR-357
- The bug report was correct in that the types of references to things
- like $start were being incorrectly cast as they wer not changed from
- Java style casts (and the casts are unneccessary). this is now fixed
- and references are referencing the correct, uncast, types.
- However, the bug report was wrong in that the reference in the bok to
- $start.pos will only work for Java and really, it is incorrect in the
- book because it shoudl not access the .pos member directly but shudl
- be using $start.getCharPositionInLine().
- Because there is no access qualification in C, one could use
- $start.charPosition, however
- really this should be $start->getCharPositionInLine($start);
-
-Change 5541 on 2009/01/24 by jimi@jimi.jimi.antlr3
-
- Fixed - ANTLR-367
- The code generation for the free method of a recognizer was not
- distinguishing tree parsers from parsers when it came to calling delegate free
- functions.
- This is now corrected.
-
-Change 5540 on 2009/01/24 by jimi@jimi.jimi.antlr3
-
- Fixed ANTLR-355
- Ensure that we do not attempt to free any memory that we did not
- actually allocate because the parser rule was being executed in
- backtracking mode.
-
-Change 5539 on 2009/01/24 by jimi@jimi.jimivista.antlr3
-
- Fixed: ANTLR-355
- When a C targetted parser is producing in backtracking mode, then the
- creation of new stream rewrite structures shoudl not happen if the rule is
- currently backtracking
-
-Change 5502 on 2008/12/11 by jimi@jimi.jimi.antlr3
-
- Fixed: ANTLR-349 Ensure that all marker labels in the lexer are 64 bit
- compatible
-
-Change 5473 on 2008/12/01 by jimi@jimi.jimivista.antlr3
-
- Fixed: ANTLR-350 - C runtime use of memcpy
- Prior change to use memcpy instead of memmove in all cases missed the
- fact that the string factory can be in a situation where overlaps occur. We now
- have ANTLR3_MEMCPY and ANTLR3_MEMMOVE and use the two appropriately.
-
-Change 5387 on 2008/11/05 by parrt@parrt.spork
-
- Fixed x+=. issue with tree grammars; added unit test
-
-Change 5325 on 2008/10/23 by parrt@parrt.spork
-
- We were all ref'ing backtracking==0 hardcoded instead checking the
- @synpredgate action.
