Add a calling-convention setting to the `Flags` used as part of the
`TargetIsa`. This allows Cretonne code that generates calls to use the
correct convention, such as when emitting libcalls during legalization
or when the wasm frontend is decoding functions. This setting can be
overridden per-function.
This also adds "fast", "cold", and "fastcall" conventions, with "fast"
as the new default. Note that "fast" and "cold" are not intended to be
ABI-compatible across Cretonne versions.
This will also ensure Windows users will get an `unimplemented!` rather
than silent calling-convention mismatches, which reflects the fact that
Windows calling conventions are not yet implemented.
This also renames SpiderWASM, which isn't camel-case, to Baldrdash,
which is, and which is also a more relevant name.
When an instruction has multiple valid encodings, such as with and
without a REX prefix on x86-64, Cretonne typically picks the encoding
which gives the register allocator the most flexibility, which is
typically the longest encoding. This patch adds a pass that runs after
register allocation that picks the smallest encoding, working within the
constraints of the register allocator's choices. The result is smaller
and easier to read encodings.
In the future, we may want to merge this pass into the relaxation pass,
or possibly fold it into the final encoding step, however for now, a
discrete pass will suffice.
Check for the `std` feature outside the macro body rather than inside,
so that we get the `std` feature in `cretonne-codegen`, rather than in
whatever crate the macro is being expanded in.
* Mark emit_to_memory as unsafe, and provide a safe compile_and_emit.
Mark `Context::emit_to_memory` and `MemoryCodeSink::new` as unsafe, as
`MemoryCodeSink` does not perform bounds checking when writing to
memory.
Add a `Context::compile_and_emit` function which provides a convenient
interface for doing `compile` and `emit_to_memory` in one step, and
which can also provide a safe interface, since it allocates memory of
the needed size itself.
* Mention that `MemoryCodeSink` can't guarantee that the pointer is valid.
* Initial skeleton.
* Add basic faerie support.
This adds enough functionality to enable simple .o file writing through
faerie. This included adding the functionality to Module to support
RelocSink implementations.
* Add basic SimpleJIT support.
This adds enough functionality to enable a simple program to be jitted
and executed.
* Make declare_func_in_func take a Function instead of a Context.
It only needs the Function, and sometimes it's useful to call it from
places that don't have a full Context.
* Temporarily disable local and exported global variables in the Faerie backend.
Faerie assumes these variables use pc-relative offset instructions, and
Cretonne is not yet emitting those instructions.
* FaerieBackend depends on PIC.
Faerie itself only supports PIC objects for now, so add an assert to
Cretonne to check that it's using a PIC target flag.
* SimpleJIT support for data objects.
* Preliminary faerie support for data objects.
* Support for data objects in faerie using the new colocated flag.
* Unit tests for DataContext and friends.
* Add a Module::consume() function.
This consumes the Module and returns the contained Backend, so that
users can call Backend-specific functions with it. For example, the
Faerie backend has functions to write an object file.
* Update the new crates to version 0.4.4.
* Make FaerieBackend own its TargetIsa.
This simplifies its interface, as it eliminates a lifetime parameter.
While we may eventually want to look into allowing multiple clients to
share a TargetIsa, it isn't worth the complexity for FaerieBackend
right now.
* Don't try to protect faerie from multiple declarations.
Let faerie decide for itself whether it wants to consider two
declarations to be compatible.
* Use debug_assert_eq rather than debug_assert with ==.
* Fix FaerieRelocSink's reloc_external to handle data object names.
* Relax the asserts in get_function_definition and get_data_definition.
These functions don't require definable symbols, but they do require
that definable symbols be defined. This is needed for the simplejit
backend.
* Add a function to the faerie backend to retrieve the artifact name.
* Sync up with cretonne changes.
This makes it a little more consistent; now, "cretonne" is never capitalized
in identifier, path, or URL contexts. It is capitalized in natural
language contexts when referring to the project.
