Previously, casting an object of a struct type to an identical type
would produce an error. This PR allows this case.
As a side-effect of the change, several self-type casts in existing
tests go away. For example:
0:10 Construct float ( temp float)
0:10 'f' ( in float)
becomes this (without the unneeded constructor op):
0:10 'f' ( in float)
For vector or array types this can result in somewhat less overall code.
Fixes: #1218
Makes some white-space differences in most output, plus a few cases
where more could have been put out but was cut short by the previous
fix-sized buffer.
This needs some render testing, but is destined to be part of master.
This also leads to a variety of other simplifications.
- IO are global symbols, so only need one list of linkage nodes (deferred)
- no longer need parse-context-wide 'inEntryPoint' state, entry-point is localized
- several parts of splitting/flattening are now localized
The grammar now accepts type casts, like "(int)x", but that
has to be disambiguated from "(a + b)", needed deeper lookahead
and backing up than what existed so far.
