* 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.
Switch to the new domtree.cfg_postorder() which returns a reference to a
pre-computed post-order instead of allocating memory and computing a new
post-order.
* LICM pass
* Uses loop analysis to detect loop tree
* For each loop (starting with the inner ones), create a pre-header and move there loop-invariant instructions
* An instruction is loop invariant if it does not use as argument a value defined earlier in the loop
* File tests to check LICM's correctness
* Optimized pre-header creation
If the loop already has a natural pre-header, we use it instead of creating a new one.
The natural pre-header of a loop is the only predecessor of the header it doesn't dominate.
* Implemented in two passes
* First pass discovers the loops headers (they dominate one of their predecessors)
* Second pass traverses the blocks of each loop
* Discovers the loop tree structure
* Offers a new LoopAnalysis data structure queried from outside the module
* Skeleton simple_gvn pass.
* Basic testing infrastructure for simple-gvn.
* Add can_load and can_store flags to instructions.
* Move the replace_values function into the DataFlowGraph.
* Make InstructionData derive from Hash, PartialEq, and Eq.
* Make EntityList's hash and eq functions panic.
* Change Ieee32 and Ieee64 to store u32 and u64, respectively.
This means that we can verify the basics with verify_context before
moving on to verifying the liveness information.
Live ranges are now verified immediately after computing them and after
register allocation is complete.
The liveness verifier will check that the live ranges are consistent
with the function. It runs as part of the register allocation pipeline
when enable_verifier is set.
The initial implementation checks the live ranges, but not the
ISA-specific constraints and affinities.
The test drivers can stop calling comp_ctx.verify because legalize() and
regalloc() do it themselves now.
This also makes it possible for those two passes to return other
CtonError codes in the future, not just verifier errors.
Run the verify_contexti() function after invoking the legalize() and
regalloc() context functions. This will help catch bad code produced by
these passes.
Legalizing some instructions may require modifications to the control
flow graph, and some operations need to use the CFG analysis.
The CFG reference is threaded through all the legalization functions to
reach the generated expansion functions as well as the legalizer::split
module where it will be used first.
Move the flow graph computation into a compute method which can be
called with multiple functions.
This allows us to reuse the ControlFlowGraph memory and keep an instance
in the Context.
This will provide main entry points for compiling functions, and it
serves as a place for keeping data structures that should be preserved
between function compilations to reduce allocator thrashing.
So far, Context is just basic scaffolding. More to be added.
