Block objects [1] are a C-level syntactic and runtime feature. They
are similar to standard C functions, but in addition to executable
code they may also contain variable bindings to automatic (stack)
or managed (heap) memory. A block can therefore maintain a set of
state (data) that it can use to impact behavior when executed.
This port is based on Apple's GCC 5646 with some bugfixes from
Apple GCC 5666.3. It has some small differences with the support
in clang, which remains the recommended compiler.
Perhaps the most notable difference is that in GCC that __block
is not actually a keyword, but a macro. There will be workaround
for this issue in a near future. Other issues can be consulted in
the clang documentation [2]
For better compatiblity with Apple's GCC and llvm-gcc some related
fixes and features from Apple have been included. Support for the
non-standard nested functions in GCC is now off by default.
No effort was made to update the ObjC support since FreeBSD doesn't
carry ObjC in the base system, but some of the code crept in and
was more difficult to remove than to adjust.

Fixes GCC libstdc++/29286
The fix seems to work for amd64 but causes segfaults on powerpc.
At this time gcc is much more important on powerpc than on amd64.

Bring The following revisions from the gcc43 branch[1]:
118360, 118361, 118363, 118576, 119820,
123906, 125246, and 125721.
They all have in common that the were merged long ago
into Apple's gcc and should help improve the general
quality of the compiler and make it easier to bring
new features from Apple's gcc42.

that were removed from GCC 2.95.3.test4 and the subsequent release due
to problems on HP-UX. However, they work just fine on all the BSD's.
W/o these patches the following program segmentation faults if compiled
with -O2 (but not -Os or -O or -O0):
#include <stdio.h>
class A {
public:
A() { printf("c'tor A\n"); }
~A(){ printf("d'tor A\n"); }
};
class foo : public A {
public:
foo() { printf("C'tor foo\n"); throw 8; }
~foo() { printf("D'tor foo\n"); }
};
int main(){
try { foo fii; }
catch (int){ printf("catch ...\n"); }
return 0;
}
non-i386, non-unix, and generatable files have been trimmed, but can easily
be added in later if needed.
gcc-2.7.2.1 will follow shortly, it's a very small delta to this and it's
handy to have both available for reference for such little cost.
The freebsd-specific changes will then be committed, and once the dust has
settled, the bmakefiles will be committed to use this code.
