The main change is that it avoids creating blank lines when processing
docstrings.
This also adds blank lines in various places to make the generated code
prettier.
Fixes#178.
When an instruction with a fixed output operand defines a globally live
SSA value, we need to check if the fixed register is available in the
`regs.global` set of registers that can be used across EBB boundaries.
If the fixed output register is not available in regs.global, set the
replace_global_defines flag so the output operands are rewritten as
local values.
Fixes#175.
The Intel division instructions have fixed input operands that are
clobbered by fixed output operands, so the value passed as an input will
be clobbered just like a tied operand.
The FixedTied operand constraint is used to indicate a fixed input
operand that has a corresponding output operand with the same fixed
register.
Teach the spiller to teach a FixedTied operand the same as a Tied
operand constraint and make sure that the input value is killed by the
instruction.
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.
This allows GVN to avoid hoisting them. These will be to coarse for
things that want more precise dependence information, however we can
work that out when we build such things.
Also move the CursorPosition type into the cursor module.
Move layout::cursor into the tests module as LayoutCursor and remove its
ability to insert instructions via the dfg.ins() method. This cursor
type is only used in the layout unit tests now.
The FuncCursor and EncCursor types are the commonly used cursors now.
On some ISAs like Intel's, all arithmetic instructions set all or some
of the CPU flags, so flag values can't be live across these
instructions. On ISAs like ARM's Aarch32, flags are clobbered by compact
16-bit encodings but not necessarily by 32-bit encodings of the same
instruction.
The "clobbers_flags" bit on the encoding recipe is used to indicate if
CPU flag values can be live across an instruction, or conversely whether
the encoding can be used where flag values are live.
The arm32 ISA technically has separate floating point and integer flags,
but the only useful thing you can do with the floating point flags is to
copy them ti the integer flags, so there is not need to model them.
The arm64 ISA fixes this and the fcmp instruction writes the integer
nzcv flags directly.
RISC-V does not have CPU flags.
This makes it possible to define register banks that opt out of register
pressure tracking. This will be used to define banks for special-purpose
registers like the CPU flags.
The pressure tracker does not need to use resources for a top-level
register class in a non-tracked bank. The constant MAX_TOPRCS is renamed
to MAX_TRACKED_TOPRCS to indicate that there may be top-level register
classes with higher numbers, but they won't require pressure tracking.
We won't be tracking register pressure for CPU flags since only one
value is allowed to be live at a time.
