      Rename _closure to _static_closure, apply naming consistently. · 35672072
      Edward Z. Yang authored
      
      Summary:
      In preparation for indirecting all references to closures,
      we rename _closure to _static_closure to ensure any old code
      will get an undefined symbol error.  In order to reference
      a closure foobar_closure (which is now undefined), you should instead
      use STATIC_CLOSURE(foobar).  For convenience, a number of these
      old identifiers are macro'd.
      
      Across C-- and C (Windows and otherwise), there were differing
      conventions on whether or not foobar_closure or &foobar_closure
      was the address of the closure.  Now, all foobar_closure references
      are addresses, and no & is necessary.
      
      CHARLIKE/INTLIKE were not changed, simply alpha-renamed.

      Properly generate info tables for static closures in C--. · 178eb906
      Edward Z. Yang authored
      
      Summary:
      Previously, we assumed all objects declared in C-- were not-static, even
      ones which were CONSTR_NOCAF_STATIC.  This used to be harmless, but now
      we need this information to be correct.

      BC-breaking changes to C-- CLOSURE syntax. · 3b5a840b
      Edward Z. Yang authored
      
      Summary:
      Previously, there were two variants of CLOSURE in C--:
      
          - Top-level CLOSURE(foo_closure, foo, lits...), which defines a new
            static closure and gives it a name, and
      
          - Array CLOSURE(foo, lits...), which was used for the static char
            and integer arrays.
      
      They used the same name, were confusing, and didn't even generate
      the correct internal label representation!  So now, we have two
      new forms:
      
          - Top-level CLOSURE(foo, lits...) which automatically generates
            foo_closure (along with foo_info, which we were doing already)
      
          - Array ANONYMOUS_CLOSURE(foo, lits...) which doesn't generate
            a foo_closure identifier.

      Place static closures in their own section. · b23ba2a7
      Edward Z. Yang authored
      
      Summary:
      The primary reason for doing this is assisting debuggability:
      if static closures are all in the same section, they are
      guaranteed to be adjacent to one another.  This will help
      later when we add some code that takes section start/end and
      uses this to sanity-check the sections.
