Wrong optimization for "... shr 0" opcode #455

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
With SMS 2.0.
But may affect any version of DWS.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
I use to code in SMS: 
<code>Hash.A := (Hash.A+H.A)shr 0;</code>

What is the expected output? 

<code>Self$7.Hash.A$2 = (Self$7.Hash.A$2+H$2.A$2)>>>0;</code>

What do you see instead?

With newest 2.0 revision, it compiled as such when Optimization is ON:

<code>Self$7.Hash.A$2 = 0;</code>

Which is obviously wrong, and is a regression.

"... shr 0", as "... >>> 0" is used in JavaScript to force unsigned 32 bit 
integer. Used e.g. in my code to compute crc32 or SHA.

The optimization was also incorrect in the script engine (now fixed)

For the purpose of the forcing an unsigned value, I'm considering adding an 
Unsigned() built-in function, which would also allow considering an Int64 value 
in the script engine to be an unsigned.

Is there a source code version of the hash I could use to test if the 
Unsigned() would be practical?

Unsigned() could make sense, you are right.

".. shr 0" is just a Javascript tweak.

About the hash, you can take a look at

ipt
The CRC32 computation is enough to have a reference use of ".. shr 0".
SHA-256 could be also useful.

Thanks a lot for the quick fix!

Hmmm, the CRC32 code fails script-side where integers are 64 bits, as it 
assumes a 32bit integer for the "not" and the subsequent bit shift.

That said other CRC32 implementations I found did not have the initial & final 
"not" your code has, and so did not exhibit bitness issues.

I'm wondering about the above about what Unsigned() should mean, and if 
Unsigned32/Unsigned64 distinction is warranted. Script-side both can be 
handled, JS-side, only Unsigned32 is possible. So I guess I'll stick with 
Unsigned() getting the highest bit count unsigned.

Hmm, scratch the above, it doesn't float. Unsigned() to the highest precision 
would require returning a float (otherwise it's just a nop), so only 
Unsigned32() makes sense.

Script side it would be equivalent to an "and $FFFFFFFF" and JS-side to a ">>> 
0".
