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.
Every encoding recipe must specify register constraints on input and
output values.
Generate recipe constraint tables along with the other encoding tables.
This set of available register units also manages register aliasing in
an efficient way.
Detect if the units in a register straddles mask words. The algorithm
for allocating multi-unit registers expect the whole register to be
inside a single mask word. We could handle this if necessary, but so far
no ISAs need it.
Add a RegBank class for describing CPU register banks.
Define register banks for all the ISA stubs. The ARM32 floating point
bank in particular requires attention.
Use the inferred type variables to construct a type argument for builder
methods. This is for those instructions where the result types cannot be
computed from the result types.
Each instruction used in a pattern has constraints on the types of its
operands. These constraints are expressed as symbolic type variables.
Compute type variables for each variable used in a transformation
pattern. Some are free type variables, and some are derived from the
free type variables.
The type variables associated with variables can be used for computing
the result types of replacement instructions that don't support simple
forward type inference from their inputs.
The type sets computed by this patch are conservatively too large, so
they can't yet be used to type check patterns.
Add TypeVar constants representing the available type functions, and a
TypeVar.derived() static method which creates a derived TypeVar.
Keep the existing non-parametric methods for creating derived type
variables.
Add a method for converting a free type variable to a derived one.
A few operands have a fixed type assigned. Create a singleton type
variable for these exceptions. Most instructions are polymorphic, so
this is a little overhead.
Eliminate the Operand.typ field and replace it with an Operand.typevar
field which is always a TypeVar, but which only exists in VALUE
operands.
This method caused lots of import cycles when type checking.
Use isinstance() in the Operand constructor instead to decipher the
OperandSpec union type.
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.
