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.
