This allows the assertions to be disabled in release builds, so that
the code is faster and smaller, at the expense of not performing the
checks. Assertions can be re-enabled in release builds with the
debug-assertions flag in Cargo.toml, as the top-level Cargo.toml
file does.
Cretonne clients don't need to know how the register allocator works.
Export the RegDiversions type from the binemit module instead. It is
used by the "test binemit" driver.
Add an addend field to reloc_external, and use it to move the
responsibility for accounting for the difference between the end of an
instruction (where the PC is considered to be in PC-relative on intel)
and the beginning of the immediate field into the encoding code.
Specifically, this makes IntelGOTPCRel4 directly correspond to
R_X86_64_GOTPCREL, instead of also carrying an implicit `- 4`.
Register locations can change throughout an EBB. Make sure the
emit_inst() function considers this when encoding instructions and
update the register diversion tracker.
This function will emit the binary machine code into contiguous raw
memory while sending relocations to a RelocSink.
Add a MemoryCodeSink for generating machine code directly into memory
efficiently. Allow the TargetIsa to provide emit_function
implementations that are specialized to the MemoryCodeSink type to avoid
needless small virtual callbacks to put1() et etc.
Compute exact EBB header offsets and check that branches are in range.
Not implemented yet: Relax branches that are not in range.
Invoke the relax_branches() pass from the 'test binemit' file tests so
they can verify the proper encoding of branch instructions too.
Not all br_icmp opcodes are present in the ISA. The missing ones can be
reached by commuting operands.
Don't attempt to encode EBB offsets yet. For now just emit an EBB
relocation for the branch instruction.
Use the meta language encoding recipes to generate an emit_inst()
function for each ISA. The generated calls into recipe_*() functions
that must be implemented by hand.
Implement recipe_*() functions for the RISC-V recipes.
Add the TargetIsa::emit_inst() entry point which emits an instruction to
a CodeSink trait object.
