* Switch RegClass to a bitmap implementation.
* Add special RegClass to remove r13 from 'ld' recipe.
* Use MASK_LEN constant instead of magic number.
* Enforce that RegClass slicing is only valid on contiguous classes.
* Use Optional[int] for RegClass optional bitmask parameter.
* Add comment explaining use of Intel ISA's GPR_NORIP register class.
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.
This makes it possible to materialize new RegClass references without
requiring a RegInfo reference to be passed around.
- Move the RegInfo::toprc() method to RegClassData.
- Rename RegClassData::intersect() to intersect_index() and provide a
new intersect() which returns a register class.
- Remove some &RegInfo parameters that are no longer needed.
A top-level register class is one that has no sub-classes. It is
possible to have multiple top-level register classes in the same
register bank. For example, ARM's FPR bank has both D and Q top-level
register classes.
Number register classes such that all top-level register classes appear
as a contiguous sequence starting from 0. This will be used by the
register allocator when counting used registers per top-level register
class.
Add an abi module with code that is probably useful to all ISAs when
implementing this function.
Add a unit() method to RegClassData which can be used to index the
register units in a class.
The List and Dict types are no longer implicitly available. They must be
imported from typing.
Type annotations must appear before the doc comment in a function. Also
fix type errors in these functions that weren't detected before.
Ensure that the set of register classes is closed under intersection.
Provide a RegClass::intersect() method which finds the register class
representing the intersection of two classes.
Generate a bit-mask of subclasses for each register class to be used by
the intersect() method.
Ensure that register classes are sorted topologically. This is also used
by the intersect() method.
