Add a TailRecipe.rex() method which creates an encoding recipe with a
REX prefix.
Define I64 encodings with REX.W for i64 operations and with/without REX
for i32 ops. Only test the with-REX encodings for now. We don't yet have
an instruction shrinking pass that can select the non-REX encodings.
Cretonne's encoding recipes need to have a fixed size so we can compute
accurate branch destination addresses. Intel's instruction encoding has
a lot of variance in the number of bytes needed to encode the opcode
which leads to a number of duplicated encoding recipes that only differ
in the opcode size.
Add an Intel-specific TailEnc Python class which represents an
abstraction over a set of recipes that are identical except for the
opcode encoding. The TailEnc can then generate specific encoding recipes
for each opcode format.
The opcode format is a prefix of the recipe name, so for example, the
'rr' TailEnc will generate the 'Op1rr', 'Op2rr', 'Mp2rr' etc recipes.
The TailEnc class provides a __call__ implementation that simply takes
the sequence of opcode bytes as arguments. It then looks up the right
prefix for the opcode bytes.
We don't support the full set of Intel addressing modes yet. So far we
have:
- Register indirect, no displacement.
- Register indirect, 8-bit signed displacement.
- Register indirect, 32-bit signed displacement.
The SIB addressing modes will need new Cretonne instruction formats to
represent.
These instructions have a fixed register constraint; the shift amount is
passed in CL.
Add meta language syntax so a fixed register can be specified as
"GPR.rcx".
Tabulate the Intel opcode representations and implement an OP() function
which computes the encoding bits.
Implement the single-byte opcode with a reg-reg ModR/M byte.
