Add preamble syntax for declaring static and dynamic heaps, and update
the langref section on heaps. Add IR support for heap references.
Remove the heap_load and heap_store as discussed in #144. We will use
heap_addr along with native load and store instructions in their place.
Add the heap_addr instruction and document its bounds checking
semantics.
See #144 for discussion.
- Add a new GlobalVar entity type both in Python and Rust.
- Define a UnaryGlobalVar instruction format containing a GlobalVar
reference.
- Add a globalvar.rs module defining the GlobalVarData with support for
'vmctx' and 'deref' global variable kinds.
Langref:
Add a section about global variables and the global_addr
instruction.
Parser:
Add support for the UnaryGlobalVar instruction format as well as
global variable declarations in the preamble.
Also move the extending loads and truncating stores into the bulkier
"Operations" section to improve the flow of the "Memory" section in the
language reference.
* Added Intel x86-64 encodings for 64bit loads and store instructions
* Using GPR registers instead of ABCD for istore8 with REX prefix
Fixed testing of 64bit intel encoding
* Emit REX and REX-less encodings for optional REX prefix
Value renumbering in binary64.cton
ARM has all of these as scalar integer instructions. Intel has band_not
in SSE and as a scalar in BMI1.
Add the trivial legalization patterns that use a bnot instruction.
Change the result type for the bit-counting instructions from a fixed i8
to the iB type variable which is the type of the input. This matches the
convention in WebAssembly, and at least Intel's instructions will set a
full register's worth of count result, even if it is always < 64.
Duplicate the Intel 'ur' encoding recipe into 'umr' and 'urm' variants
corresponding to the RM and MR encoding variants. The difference is
which register is encoded as 'reg' and which is 'r/m' in the ModR/M
byte. A 'mov' register copy uses the MR variant, a unary popcnt uses the
RM variant.
* Reduce code duplication in TypeConstraint subclasses; Add ConstrainWiderOrEqual to ti and to ireduce,{s,u}extend and f{promote,demote}; Fix bug in emitting constraint edges in TypeEnv.dot(); Modify runtime constraint checks to reject match when they encounter overflow
* Rename Constrain types to something shorter; Move lane_bits/lane_counts in subclasses of ValueType; Add wider_or_eq function in rust and python;
* Clarify that extended basic blocks are abbreviated as EBB.
* Fix typo.
* Fix a typo.
* Fix typos.
* Use the same phrase to indicate scalar-only as other places in the doc.
* Mention that `band_imm` and friends are scalar-only.
And mention that they're equivalent to their respective
non-immediate-form counterparts.
* Skeleton simple_gvn pass.
* Basic testing infrastructure for simple-gvn.
* Add can_load and can_store flags to instructions.
* Move the replace_values function into the DataFlowGraph.
* Make InstructionData derive from Hash, PartialEq, and Eq.
* Make EntityList's hash and eq functions panic.
* Change Ieee32 and Ieee64 to store u32 and u64, respectively.
This instruction behaves like icmp fused with brnz, and it can be used
to represent fused compare+branch instruction on Intel when optimizing
for macro-op fusion.
RISC-V provides compare-and-branch instructions directly, and it is
needed there too.
Compare a scalar integer to an immediate constant. Both Intel and RISC-V
ISAs have this operation.
This requires the addition of a new IntCompareImm instruction format.
These two instructions make sense for vector types by simply performing
the same operation on each lane, like most other vector operations.
Problem found by @angusholder's verifier.
When the legalizer splits a value into halves, it would previously stop
if the value was an EBB argument. With this change, we also split EBB
arguments and iteratively split arguments on branches to the EBB.
The iterative splitting stops when we hit the entry block arguments or
an instruction that isn't one of the concatenation instructions.
No instruction sets actually have single instructions for materializing
vector constants. You always need to use a constant pool.
Cretonne doesn't have constant pools yet, but it will in the future, and
that is how vector constants should be represented.
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'.
Add support for two new type variable functions: half_vector() and
double_vector().
Use these two instructions to break down unsupported SIMD types and
build them up again.
