It would be far better to make 30 the following changes: 31 1. FileEntry contains a sys::Path instead of a std::string for Name. 32 2. sys::Path contains timestamp and size, lazily computed. Eliminate from 33 FileEntry. 34 3. File UIDs are created on request, not when files are opened. 35 These changes make it possible to efficiently have FileEntry objects for 36 files that exist on the file system, but have not been used yet. 37 38 Once this is done: 39 1. DirectoryEntry gets a boolean value "has read entries". When false, not 40 all entries in the directory are in the file mgr, when true, they are. 41 2. Instead of stat'ing the file in FileManager::getFile, check to see if 42 the dir has been read. If so, fail immediately, if not, read the dir, 43 then retry. 44 3. Reading the dir uses the getdirentries syscall, creating a FileEntry 45 for all files found. 46 47//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===// 48// Specifying targets: -triple and -arch 49//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===// 50 51The clang supports "-triple" and "-arch" options. At most one -triple and one 52-arch option may be specified. Both are optional. 53 54The "selection of target" behavior is defined as follows: 55 56(1) If the user does not specify -triple, we default to the host triple. 57(2) If the user specifies a -arch, that overrides the arch in the host or 58 specified triple. 59 60//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===// 61 62 63verifyInputConstraint and verifyOutputConstraint should not return bool. 64 65Instead we should return something like: 66 67enum VerifyConstraintResult { 68 Valid, 69 70 // Output only 71 OutputOperandConstraintLacksEqualsCharacter, 72 MatchingConstraintNotValidInOutputOperand, 73 74 // Input only 75 InputOperandConstraintContainsEqualsCharacter, 76 MatchingConstraintReferencesInvalidOperandNumber, 77 78 // Both 79 PercentConstraintUsedWithLastOperand 80}; 81 82//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===// 83 84Blocks should not capture variables that are only used in dead code. 85 86The rule that we came up with is that blocks are required to capture 87variables if they're referenced in evaluated code, even if that code 88doesn't actually rely on the value of the captured variable. 89 90For example, this requires a capture: 91 (void) var; 92But this does not: 93 if (false) puts(var); 94 95Summary of <rdar://problem/9851835>: if we implement this, we should 96warn about non-POD variables that are referenced but not captured, but 97only if the non-reachability is not due to macro or template 98metaprogramming. 99 100//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===// 101 102We can still apply a modified version of the constructor/destructor 103delegation optimization in cases of virtual inheritance where: 104 - there is no function-try-block, 105 - the constructor signature is not variadic, and 106 - the parameter variables can safely be copied and repassed 107 to the base constructor because either 108 - they have not had their addresses taken by the vbase initializers or 109 - they were passed indirectly. 110 111//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===// 112
