With the Return and ReturnReg formats converted to using value lists for
storing their arguments, thee are no remaining instruction formats with
variable argument lists in boxed storage.
The Return and ReturnReg formats are also going to be merged since
they are identical now.
The Branch format also stores its fixed argument in the value list. This
requires the value pool to be passed to a few more functions.
Note that this actually makes the Branch and Jump variants of
InstructionData identical. The instruction format hashing does not yet
understand that all value operands are stored in the value list. We'll
fix that in a later patch.
Also convert IndirectCall, noting that Call and IndirectCall remain
separate instruction formats because they have different immediate
fields.
Add a new kind of instruction format that keeps all of its value
arguments in a value list. These value lists are all allocated out of
the dfg.value_lists memory pool.
Instruction formats with the value_list property set store *all* of
their value arguments in a single value list. There is no distinction
between fixed arguments and variable arguments.
Change the Call instruction format to use the value list representation
for its arguments.
This change is only the beginning. The intent is to eliminate the
boxed_storage instruction formats completely. Value lists use less
memory, and when the transition is complete, InstructionData will have a
trivial Drop implementation.
Add support for two new type variable functions: half_vector() and
double_vector().
Use these two instructions to break down unsupported SIMD types and
build them up again.
The intel, arm32, and arm32 targets were only defined in the meta
language previously. Add Rust implementations too.
This is mostly boilerplate, except for the unit tests in the
registers.rs files.
We want to separate the Python classes that make up the DSL used to
define the Cretonne language from the concrete definitions.
- cdsl.types defines the ValueType class hierarchy.
- base.types defines the concrete types.
