Fixes#175.
The Intel division instructions have fixed input operands that are
clobbered by fixed output operands, so the value passed as an input will
be clobbered just like a tied operand.
The FixedTied operand constraint is used to indicate a fixed input
operand that has a corresponding output operand with the same fixed
register.
Teach the spiller to teach a FixedTied operand the same as a Tied
operand constraint and make sure that the input value is killed by the
instruction.
On some ISAs like Intel's, all arithmetic instructions set all or some
of the CPU flags, so flag values can't be live across these
instructions. On ISAs like ARM's Aarch32, flags are clobbered by compact
16-bit encodings but not necessarily by 32-bit encodings of the same
instruction.
The "clobbers_flags" bit on the encoding recipe is used to indicate if
CPU flag values can be live across an instruction, or conversely whether
the encoding can be used where flag values are live.
When "binemit" tests encode instructions, keep track of the current set
of register diversions, and use the diverted locations to check operand
constraints.
This matches how constraints are applied during a real binemit phase.
Most instructions don't have any fixed register constraints. Add boolean
summaries that can be used to check if it is worthwhile to scan the
constraint lists when looking for a fixed register constraint.
Also add a tied_ops summary bool which indicates that the instruction
has tied operand constraints.
The register constraint for an output operand can be specified as an
integer indicating the input operand number to tie. The tied operands
must use the same register.
Generate operand constraints using ConstraintKind::Tied(n) for both the
tied operands. The n index refers to the opposite array. The input
operand refers to the outs array and vice versa.
Two new pieces of information are available for all encoding recipes:
- The size in bytes of an encoded instruction, and
- The range of a branch encoded with the recipe, if any.
In the meta language, EncRecipe takes two new constructor arguments. The
size is required for all encodings and branch_range is required for all
recipes used to encode branches.
This is a bare-bones outline of the SSA coloring pass. Many features are
missing, including:
- Handling instruction operand constraints beyond simple register
classes.
- Handling ABI requirements for function arguments and return values.
- Generating shuffle code for EBB arguments.
An SSA value is usually biased towards a specific register class or a
stack slot, depending on the constraints of the instructions using it.
Represent this bias as an Affinity enum, and implement a merging
algorithm for updating an affinity to satisfy a new constraint.
Affinities will be computed as part of the liveness analysis. This is
not implemented yet.
Every encoding recipe must specify register constraints on input and
output values.
Generate recipe constraint tables along with the other encoding tables.
