Rename the re-exported crates, so that prelude users can type
"cretonne::codegen" rather than "cretonne::cretonne_codegen".
And, add a few more useful items to the prelude.
This eliminates API confusion and surface area with respect to what state
the `Backend` needs to be in at different points.
Now, API users will construct a `Builder`, and pass it into the `Module`
which uses it to constrct a `Backend`. The `Backend` instance only lives
inside the `Module`. And when finished, the `Module` can return a
`Product` back to the user providing any outputs it has.
It turns out that "cargo test --release" doesn't use
`[profile.release]`; it uses `[profile.bench]` instead; see
[here](https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/manifest.html) for details.
So the plan to run the tests in optimized mode but with debug-assertions
enabled didn't actually work, and we had an actual failing unit test that
was hidden because assertions were disabled.
So, this makes test-all.sh just run the unit tests in debug mode, as is
the norm for Rust packages, and fixes the buggy test.
This also removes the `[profile.release]` override from the top-level
Cargo.toml file too. We don't need it now that we're not running tests
in release mode, and it had confused multiple people because it made
Cretonne's in-tree builds different from how Cretonne is built when used as
a dependency in other projects.
* Mark emit_to_memory as unsafe, and provide a safe compile_and_emit.
Mark `Context::emit_to_memory` and `MemoryCodeSink::new` as unsafe, as
`MemoryCodeSink` does not perform bounds checking when writing to
memory.
Add a `Context::compile_and_emit` function which provides a convenient
interface for doing `compile` and `emit_to_memory` in one step, and
which can also provide a safe interface, since it allocates memory of
the needed size itself.
* Mention that `MemoryCodeSink` can't guarantee that the pointer is valid.
* Initial skeleton.
* Add basic faerie support.
This adds enough functionality to enable simple .o file writing through
faerie. This included adding the functionality to Module to support
RelocSink implementations.
* Add basic SimpleJIT support.
This adds enough functionality to enable a simple program to be jitted
and executed.
* Make declare_func_in_func take a Function instead of a Context.
It only needs the Function, and sometimes it's useful to call it from
places that don't have a full Context.
* Temporarily disable local and exported global variables in the Faerie backend.
Faerie assumes these variables use pc-relative offset instructions, and
Cretonne is not yet emitting those instructions.
* FaerieBackend depends on PIC.
Faerie itself only supports PIC objects for now, so add an assert to
Cretonne to check that it's using a PIC target flag.
* SimpleJIT support for data objects.
* Preliminary faerie support for data objects.
* Support for data objects in faerie using the new colocated flag.
* Unit tests for DataContext and friends.
* Add a Module::consume() function.
This consumes the Module and returns the contained Backend, so that
users can call Backend-specific functions with it. For example, the
Faerie backend has functions to write an object file.
* Update the new crates to version 0.4.4.
* Make FaerieBackend own its TargetIsa.
This simplifies its interface, as it eliminates a lifetime parameter.
While we may eventually want to look into allowing multiple clients to
share a TargetIsa, it isn't worth the complexity for FaerieBackend
right now.
* Don't try to protect faerie from multiple declarations.
Let faerie decide for itself whether it wants to consider two
declarations to be compatible.
* Use debug_assert_eq rather than debug_assert with ==.
* Fix FaerieRelocSink's reloc_external to handle data object names.
* Relax the asserts in get_function_definition and get_data_definition.
These functions don't require definable symbols, but they do require
that definable symbols be defined. This is needed for the simplejit
backend.
* Add a function to the faerie backend to retrieve the artifact name.
* Sync up with cretonne changes.
This makes it a little more consistent; now, "cretonne" is never capitalized
in identifier, path, or URL contexts. It is capitalized in natural
language contexts when referring to the project.
This adds a "colocated" flag to function and symbolic global variables which
indicates that they are defined along with the current function, so they can
use PC-relative addressing.
This also changes the function decl syntax; the name now always precedes the
signature, and the "function" keyword is no longer included.
Rustc beta and nightly crash when compiling Cretonne. I've filed
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/49528 to track this upstream.
For now, add Beta to the allow-failures list to temporarily work
around this.
The regmove and regfill instructions temporarily divert a value's
location, and these temporary diversions are not reflected in
`func.locations`. For now, make an extra scan through the instructions
of the function to find any regmove or regfill instructions in order to
find all used callee-saved registers.
This fixes#296.
The main use for non-PIC code at present is JIT code, and JIT code can
live anywhere in memory and reference other symbols defined anywhere in
memory, so it needs to use the "large" code model.
func_addr and globalsym_addr instructions were already using `movabs`
to support arbitrary 64-bit addresses, so this just makes calls be
legalized to support arbitrary 64-bit addresses also.
* Only save callee-saved registers that are actually being used.
* Rename AllocatableSet to RegisterSet
* Style cleanup and small renames for readability.
* Adjust x86 prologue-epilogue test to account for callee-saved register optimization.
* Add more tests for prologue-epilogue optimizations.
