This begins reorganizing how translation and compilation occur, and
setting up infrastructure for imports/exports and relocations. It
splits parts out of StandaloneRuntime, forming Module, Compilation,
and Instance structs, which can be used more independently.
It also simplifies the command-line interface, in a step towards
making simple tools that just expose the functionality of the
libraries.
* API and data structures proposal for the SSA construction module
* Polished API and implemented trivial functions
* API more explicit, Variable now struct parameter
* Sample test written to see how the API could be used
* Implemented local value numbering for SSABuilder
* Implemented SSA within a single Ebb
* Unfinished unoptimized implementation for recursive use and seal
* Working global value numbering
The SSABuilder now create ebb args and modifies jump instructions accordingly
* Updated doc and improved branch argument modifying.
Removed instructions::branch_arguments and instructions::branch_argument_mut
* SSA building: bugfix, asserts and new test case
Missing a key optimization to remove cycles of Phi
* SSA Building: small changes after code review
Created helper function for seal_block (which now contains sanity checks)
* Optimization: removed useless phis (ebb arguments)
Using pessimistic assumption that when using a non-def variable in an unsealed block we create an ebb argument which is removed when sealing if we detect it as useless
Using aliases to avoid rewriting variables
* Changed the semantics of remove_ebb_arg and turned it into a proper API method
* Adapted ssa branch to changes in the DFG API
* Abandonned SparseMaps for EntityMaps, added named structure for headr block data.
* Created skeletton for a Cretonne IL builder frontend
* Frontend IL builder: first draft of implementation with example of instruction methods
* Working basic implementation of the frontend
Missing handling of function arguments and return values
* Interaction with function signature, sample test, more checks
* Test with function verifier, seal and fill sanity check
* Implemented python script to generate ILBuilder methods
* Added support for jump tables and stack slot
* Major API overhaul
* No longer generating rust through Python but implements InstBuilder
* No longer parametrized by user's blocks but use regular `Ebb`
* Reuse of allocated memory via distinction between ILBuilder and FunctionBuilder
* Integrate changes from StackSlot
* Improved error message
* Added support for jump arguments supplied by the user
* Added an ebb_args proxy method needed
* Adapted to Entity_ref splitted into a new module
* Better error messages and fixed tests
* Added method to change jump destination
* We whould be able to add unreachable code
* Added inst_result proxy to frontend
* Import support
* Added optimization for SSA construction:
If multiple predecessors but agree on value don't create EBB argument
* Move unsafe and not write-only funcs apart, improved doc
* Added proxy function for append_ebb_arg
* Support for unreachable code and better layout of the Ebbs
* Fixed a bug yielding an infinite loop in SSA construction
* SSA predecessors lookup code refactoring
* Fixed bug in unreachable definition
* New sanity check and display debug function
* Fixed bug in verifier and added is_pristine ;ethod for frontend
* Extended set of characters printable in function names
To be able to print names of functions in test suite
* Fixes and improvements of SSA construction after code review
* Bugfixes for frontend code simplification
* On-the-fly critical edge splitting in case of br_table with jump arguments
* No more dangling undefined values, now attached as EBB args
* Bugfix: only split corresponding edges on demand, not all br_table edges
* Added signature retrieval method
* Bugfix for critical edge splitting not sealing the ebbs it created
* Proper handling of SSA side effects by the frontend
* Code refactoring: moving frontend and SSA to new crate
* Frontend: small changes and bugfixes after code review
