When an instruction doesn't have a valid encoding for the target ISA, it
needs to be legalized. Different legalization strategies can be
expressed as separate XFormGroup objects.
Make the choice of XFormGroup configurable per CPU mode, rather than
depending on a hard-coded default.
Add a CPUMode.legalize_type() method which assigns an XFormGroup to
controlling type variables and lets you set a default.
Add a `legalize` field to Level1Entry so the first-level hash table
lookup gives us the configured default legalization action for the
instruction's controlling type variable.
Add a Stack() class for specifying operand constraints for values on the
stack.
Add encoding recipes for RISC-V spill and fill instructions. Don't
implement the encoding recipe functions yet since we don't have the
stack slot layout yet.
Most instructions don't have any fixed register constraints. Add boolean
summaries that can be used to check if it is worthwhile to scan the
constraint lists when looking for a fixed register constraint.
Also add a tied_ops summary bool which indicates that the instruction
has tied operand constraints.
The register constraint for an output operand can be specified as an
integer indicating the input operand number to tie. The tied operands
must use the same register.
Generate operand constraints using ConstraintKind::Tied(n) for both the
tied operands. The n index refers to the opposite array. The input
operand refers to the outs array and vice versa.
Two new pieces of information are available for all encoding recipes:
- The size in bytes of an encoded instruction, and
- The range of a branch encoded with the recipe, if any.
In the meta language, EncRecipe takes two new constructor arguments. The
size is required for all encodings and branch_range is required for all
recipes used to encode branches.
The tables returned by recipe_names() and recipe_constraints() are now
collected into an EncInfo struct that is available from
TargetIsa::encoding_info(). This is equivalent to the register bank
tables available fro TargetIsa::register_info().
This cleans of the TargetIsa interface and makes it easier to add
encoding-related information.
Consolidate the imm_members and imm_kinds into this list so the
FormatField is the single definition of these properties.
This makes it easier to access the precomputed FormatFields
parametrically, avoiding going through getattr().
This is better for type checking too.
The value_list flag can be inferred from the presence of VARIABLE_ARGS
in the operand list.
The boxed_storage flag is obsolete. We don't need boxed storage anywhere
no that we have value lists instead.
On ISAs with no instruction predicates, just emit an unimplemented!()
stub for the check_instp() function. It is unlikely that a finished ISA
will not have any instruction predicates.
Every encoding recipe must specify register constraints on input and
output values.
Generate recipe constraint tables along with the other encoding tables.
The intel, arm32, and arm32 targets were only defined in the meta
language previously. Add Rust implementations too.
This is mostly boilerplate, except for the unit tests in the
registers.rs files.
The 'lib/cretonne' directory will be the new root of a stand-alone
cretonne crate containg both Python and Rust sources.
This is in preparation for publishing crates on crates.io.
