Rename the ArgumentType type to AbiParam since it describes the ABI
characteristics of a parameter or return value, not just the value type.
In Signature, rename members argument_types and return_types to "params"
and "returns". Again, they are not just types.
Fix a couple lingering references to "EBB arguments".
Add EBB parameter and EBB argument to the langref glossary to clarify
the distinction between formal EBB parameter values and arguments passed
to branches.
- Replace "ebb_arg" with "ebb_param" in function names that deal with
EBB parameters.
- Rename the ValueDef variants to Result and Param.
- A bunch of other small langref fixes.
No functional changes intended.
Add integer and floating comparison instructions that return CPU flags:
ifcmp, ifcmp_imm, and ffcmp.
Add conditional branch instructions that check CPU flags: brif, brff
Add instructions that check a condition in the CPU flags and return a
b1: trueif, trueff.
These two value types represent the state of CPU flags after an integer
comparison and a floating point comparison respectively.
Instructions using these types TBD.
These are parallels to the existing regmove instruction, but the divert
the value to and from a stack slot.
Like regmove diversions, this is a temporary diversion that must be
local to the EBB.
These formats are not used any longer after the heap_load and heap_store
instructions were replaced by heap_addr.
Also drop the Uoffset32 immediate operand type which isn't used either.
Fixes#56.
We now have complete support for value location annotations in the
textual IL format. Values defined by instructions as well as EBB
arguments are covered.
With FuncEnvironment using FuncCursors in place of full
FunctionBuilders, it's useful to move several of these convenience
functions from FunctionBuilder to Function.
Add preamble syntax for declaring static and dynamic heaps, and update
the langref section on heaps. Add IR support for heap references.
Remove the heap_load and heap_store as discussed in #144. We will use
heap_addr along with native load and store instructions in their place.
Add the heap_addr instruction and document its bounds checking
semantics.
The new PrimaryMap replaces the primary EntityMap and the PrimaryEntityData
marker trait which was causing some confusion. We now have a clear
division between the two types of maps:
- PrimaryMap is used to assign entity numbers to the primary data for an
entity.
- EntityMap is a secondary mapping adding additional info.
The split also means that the secondary EntityMap can now behave as if
all keys have a default value. This means that we can get rid of the
annoying ensure() and get_or_default() methods ther were used everywhere
instead of indexing. Just use normal indexing now; non-existent keys
will return the default value.
See #144 for discussion.
- Add a new GlobalVar entity type both in Python and Rust.
- Define a UnaryGlobalVar instruction format containing a GlobalVar
reference.
- Add a globalvar.rs module defining the GlobalVarData with support for
'vmctx' and 'deref' global variable kinds.
Langref:
Add a section about global variables and the global_addr
instruction.
Parser:
Add support for the UnaryGlobalVar instruction format as well as
global variable declarations in the preamble.
A CallConv enum on every function signature makes it possible to
generate calls to functions with different calling conventions within
the same ISA / within a single function.
The calling conventions also serve as a way of customizing Cretonne's
behavior when embedded inside a VM. As an example, the SpiderWASM
calling convention is used to compile WebAssembly functions that run
inside the SpiderMonkey virtual machine.
All function signatures must have a calling convention at the end, so
this changes the textual IL syntax.
Before:
sig1 = signature(i32, f64) -> f64
After
sig1 = (i32, f64) -> f64 native
sig2 = (i32) spiderwasm
When printing functions, the signature goes after the return types:
function %r1() -> i32, f32 spiderwasm {
ebb1:
...
}
In the parser, this calling convention is optional and defaults to
"native". This is mostly to avoid updating all the existing test cases
under filetests/. When printing a function, the calling convention is
always included, including for "native" functions.
Fixes#11.
Presets are groups of settings and values applied at once. This is used
as a shorthand in test files, so for example "isa intel nehalem" enables
all of the CPUID bits that the Nehalem micro-architecture provides.
The offset is relative to the stack pointer in the calling function, so
it excludes the return address pushed by the call instruction itself on
Intel ISAs.
Change the ArgumentLoc::Stack offset to an i32, so it matches the stack
slot offsets.
* Clarify that extended basic blocks are abbreviated as EBB.
* Fix typo.
* Fix a typo.
* Fix typos.
* Use the same phrase to indicate scalar-only as other places in the doc.
* Mention that `band_imm` and friends are scalar-only.
And mention that they're equivalent to their respective
non-immediate-form counterparts.
* Replace a single-character string literal with a character literal.
* Use is_some() instead of comparing with Some(_).
* Add code-quotes around type names in comments.
* Use !...is_empty() instead of len() != 0.
* Tidy up redundant returns.
* Remove redundant .clone() calls.
* Remove unnecessary explicit lifetime parameters.
* Tidy up unnecessary '&'s.
* Add parens to make operator precedence explicit.
* Use debug_assert_eq instead of debug_assert with ==.
* Replace a &Vec argument with a &[...].
* Replace `a = a op b` with `a op= b`.
* Avoid unnecessary closures.
* Avoid .iter() and .iter_mut() for iterating over containers.
* Remove unneeded qualification.
Add a StackSlotKind enumeration to help keep track of the different
kinds of stack slots supported:
- Incoming and outgoing function arguments on the stack.
- Spill slots and locals.
Change the text format syntax for declaring a stack slot to use a kind
keyword rather than just 'stack_slot'.
* Function names should start with %
* Create FunctionName from string
* Implement displaying of FunctionName as %nnnn with fallback to #xxxx
* Run rustfmt and fix FunctionName::with_string in parser
* Implement FunctionName::new as a generic function
* Binary function names should start with #
* Implement NameRepr for function name
* Fix examples in docs to reflect that function names start with %
* Rebase and fix filecheck tests
This is off by default, but enabled by the parser when reading a textual
IL file. Test files can still override the default to turn off
verification.
The setting enables IL verifier passes at critical points of the
compilation pipeline.
Enumerate a set of special purposes for function arguments that general
purpose code needs to know about. Some of these argument purposes will
only appear in the signature of the current function, representing
things the prologue and epilogues need to know about like the link
register and callee-saved registers.
Get rid of the 'inreg' argument flag. Arguments can be pre-assigned to a
specific register instead.
All values are now references into the value table, so drop the
distinction between direct and table values. Direct values don't exist
any more.
Also remove the parser support for the 'vxNN' syntax. Only 'vNN' values
can be parsed now.
We only ever create table values now.
Simplify legalizer::legalize_inst_results. Instead of calling
detach_secondary_results, just detach all the results and don't treat
the first result specially.
Now we can access instruction results and arguments as well as EBB
arguments as slices.
Delete the Values iterator which was traversing the linked lists of
values. It is no longer needed.
- Add a dfg.is_inst_valid() method for the verifier.
- Use the inst_args_mut() method when rewriting values in the parser.
- Add a new branch_destination_mut() to use when rewriting EBBs.
This also gets rid of one of the large instruction format switches in
the parser.
This is the first step of the value list refactoring which will replace
linked lists of values with value lists.
- Keep a ValueList in the EbbData struct containing all the EBB
arguments.
- Change dfg.ebb_args() to return a slice instead of an iterator.
This leaves us in a temporary hybrid state where we maintain both a
linked list and a ValueList vector of the EBB arguments.
