[PATCH 1/3] widl: Remove duptype function so type_t* can be directly compared

Richard Pospesel richard at torproject.org
Thu May 16 17:36:10 CDT 2019


Duplicated types made it impossible to avoid multiply defining user-
defined types (structs, enums, unions). The duptype function has been
removed and the remaining code refactored to no longer require it.
User-define types are now no longer duplicated in typetree.c

Various type attributes (ATTR_EXTERN, ATTR_CONST, and ATTR_INLINE)
had to be removed from a type_t's attributes and placed on struct
_decl_spec. These attributes are generally properties of an instance
of a type rather than that of the type itself.

The decl_spec_t type is now used in many places where a type_t
previously sufficed. It can be found on struct _var and on the pointer,
array, typedef, and bitfield details structs. However, as a result there
is a lot of churn in code previously referencing the type_t in these
places which must now reference a decl_spec_t's type_t.

Wine fully builds with these changes to widl, and all of the tests for
rpcrt4.dll and oleaut32.dll run with the same results.
