Before this patch, running the x64 new backend would require both
compiling with --features experimental_x64 and running with
`use_new_backend`.
This patches changes this behavior so that the runtime flag is not
needed anymore: using the feature flag will enforce usage of the new
backend everywhere, making using and testing it much simpler:
cargo run --features experimental_x64 ;; other CLI options/flags
This also gives a hint at what the meta language generation would look
like after switching to the new backend.
Compiling only with the x64 codegen flag gives a nice compile time speedup.
This does a lot at once, since there was no clear way to split the three
commits:
- Instruction need to be passed an explicit InstructionFormat,
- InstructionFormat deduplication is checked once all entities have been
defined;
This avoids a lot of dereferences, and InstructionFormat are immutable
once they're created. It removes a lot of code that was keeping the
FormatRegistry around, just in case we needed the format. This is more
in line with the way we create Instructions, and make it easy to
reference InstructionFormats in general.
