Bug ID: 119185
Summary: Feature: quasi object programming by retrieving base
object of indirect C calls
Product: gcc
Version: unknown
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: c
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: uros at isotel dot org
Target Milestone: ---
I would like to propose a simple feature for gcc to retrieve base object of
indirect calls:
object->function( ... )
which function() could retrieve the object, as its value should have already
been loaded in one of the regs, i.e. as:
object = (object_t *)__gcc_object_ref__
That would make code nicer in a quasi object oriented programming of device
drivers even for tiny kernels, which calls are at the moment typically:
object->function(object, ...)
