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.
The spiller wasn't tracking register pressure correctly for dead EBB
parameters in visit_ebb_header(). Make sure we free any dead EBB
parameters.
Fixes#223
The coalescer makes sure that matching EBB arguments and parameters are
always in the same virtual registers, and therefore also in the same
stack slot if they are spilled.
This means that the reload pass should never rewrite an EBB argument if
the argument value is spilled. This comes up in cases where the branch
instruction needs the same value in a register:
brnz v9, ebb3(v9)
If the virtual register containing v9 is spilled, the branch instruction
must be reloaded like:
v52 = fill v9
brnz v52, ebb3(v9)
The branch register argument must be rewritten, and the EBB argument
must be referring to the original stack value.
Fixes#208.
Individual compilation passes call the corresponding timing::*()
function and hold on to their timing token while they run. This causes
nested per-pass timing information to be recorded in thread-local
storage.
The --time-passes command line option prints a pass timing report to
stdout.
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.
When the return value from a call has been spilled, the reload pass
needs to insert a spill instruction right after the call instruction
which returns its results in registers.
The Cursor navigation methods all just depend on the cursor's position
and layout reference. Make a CursorBase trait that provides access to
this information with methods and implement the navigation methods on
top of that.
This makes it possible to have multiple types implement the cursor
interface.
Replace the isa::Legalize enumeration with a function pointer. This
allows an ISA to define its own specific legalization actions instead of
relying on the default two.
Generate a LEGALIZE_ACTIONS table for each ISA which contains
legalization function pointers indexed by the legalization codes that
are already in the encoding tables. Include this table in
isa/*/enc_tables.rs.
Give the `Encodings` iterator a reference to the action table and change
its `legalize()` method to return a function pointer instead of an
ISA-specific code.
The Result<> returned from TargetIsa::encode() no longer implements
Debug, so eliminate uses of unwrap and expect on that type.
* 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 spilling pass which lowers register pressure by assigning SSA
values to the stack. Important missing features:
- Resolve conflicts where an instruction uses the same value more than
once in incompatible ways.
- Deal with EBB arguments.
Fix bugs in the reload pass exposed by the first test case:
- Create live ranges for temporary registers.
- Set encodings on created spill and fill instructions.
The reload pass inserts spill and fill instructions as needed so
instructions that operate on registers will never see a value with stack
affinity.
This is a very basic implementation, and we can't write good test cases
until we have a spilling pass.
