The legalize_signature() function will return ArgumentLoc::Reg arguments
that contain a register unit. However, the register also needs to be
able to associate a register class with the argument values to fully
track the used registers.
When values are defined by instructions, the register class is part for
the operand constraints for the instruction. For values defined on ABI
boundaries like function arguments and return values from a call, the
register class is provided by the new regclass_for_abi_type() function.
Provide implementations of this function in abi modules of all the
targets, even those that don't have a legalize_signature()
implementation yet.
Since we're adding abi modules to all targets, move the
legalize_signature() stubs in there and make the function mandatory in
TargetIsa. All targets will eventually need this function.
These special-purpose arguments and return values are only relevant for
the function being compiled, so add a `current` flag to
legalize_signature().
- Add the necessary argument values to the entry block to represent
the special-purpose arguments.
- Propagate the link and sret arguments to return instructions if the
legalized signature asks for it.
Insert conversion code that reconstructs the original function argument
types from the legalized ABI signature.
Add abi::legalize_abi_value(). This function is used when adapting code
to a legalized function signature.
Add an abi module with code that is probably useful to all ISAs when
implementing this function.
Add a unit() method to RegClassData which can be used to index the
register units in a class.
This entry point will be used for controlling ABI conventions when
legalizing.
Provide an empty implementation for RISC-V and let the other ISAs crash
in legalization.
This is just the scaffolding. We still need to:
- Rewrite the entry block arguments to match the legalized signature.
- Rewrite call and return instructions.
- Implement the legalize_signature() function for all ISAs.
- Add shared generic types to help with the legalize_signature()
functions.
