The value_list flag can be inferred from the presence of VARIABLE_ARGS
in the operand list.
The boxed_storage flag is obsolete. We don't need boxed storage anywhere
no that we have value lists instead.
Allow some flexibility in the signature matching for instruction
formats. In particular, look for a value list format as a second chance
option.
The Return, ReturnReg, and TernaryOverflow formats all fit the single
MultiAry catch-all format for instructions without immediate operands.
Instruction formats are now identified by a signature that doesn't
include the ordering of value operands relative to immediate operands.
This means that the BinaryRev instruction format becomes redundant, so
delete it. The isub_imm instruction was the only one using that format.
Rename it to irsub_imm to make it clear what it does now that it is
printed as 'irsub_imm v2, 45'.
An instruction format is now seen as having two separate operand lists:
immediates and values. Change InstructionFormat.typevar_operand to be a
pure index into the value list.
Make some changes that will make it easier to get rid of the
'value_operands' and 'members' fields in the Python InstructionFormat
class. This is necessary to be able to combine instruction formats that
all use a value list representation, but with different fixed value
operands. The goal is to eventually identify formats by a new signature:
(multiple_results, imm_kinds, num_value_operands)
Start by adding new fields:
- imm_members and imm_kinds are lists describing the format operands,
excluding any values and variable_args operands.
- num_value_operands is the number of fixed value operands, or None in a
has_value-list format.
Use these new members in preference to the old ones where possible.
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.
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.
The List and Dict types are no longer implicitly available. They must be
imported from typing.
Type annotations must appear before the doc comment in a function. Also
fix type errors in these functions that weren't detected before.
