The term "local variables" predated the SSA builder in the front-end
crate, which also provides a way to implement source-language local
variables. The name "explicit stack slot" makes it clear what this
construct is.
This makes it easier to debug testcases:
- the entity numbers in a .cton file match the entity numbers used
within Cretonne.
- serializing and deserializing doesn't cause indices to change.
One disadvantage is that if a .cton file uses sparse entity numbers,
deserializing to the in-memory form doesn't compact it. However, the
text format is not intended to be performance-critical, so this isn't
expected to be a big burden.
This is the floating point equivalent of trapif: Trap when a given
condition is in the floating-point flags.
Define Intel encodings comparable to the trapif encodings.
Changes:
* Adds a new generic instruction, SELECTIF, that does value selection (a la
conditional move) similarly to existing SELECT, except that it is
controlled by condition code input and flags-register inputs.
* Adds a new Intel x86_64 variant, 'baseline', that supports SSE2 and
nothing else.
* Adds new Intel x86_64 instructions BSR and BSF.
* Implements generic CLZ, CTZ and POPCOUNT on x86_64 'baseline' targets
using the new BSR, BSF and SELECTIF instructions.
* Implements SELECTIF on x86_64 targets using conditional-moves.
* new test filetests/isa/intel/baseline_clz_ctz_popcount.cton
(for legalization)
* new test filetests/isa/intel/baseline_clz_ctz_popcount_encoding.cton
(for encoding)
* Allow lib/cretonne/meta/gen_legalizer.py to generate non-snake-caseified
Rust without rustc complaining.
Fixes#238.
- Create a new kind of stack slot: emergency_slot.
- Add a get_emergency_slot() method which finds a suitable emergency
slot given a list of slots already in use.
- Use emergency spill slots when schedule_moves needs them.
These are parallels to the existing regmove instruction, but the divert
the value to and from a stack slot.
Like regmove diversions, this is a temporary diversion that must be
local to the EBB.
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.
A CallConv enum on every function signature makes it possible to
generate calls to functions with different calling conventions within
the same ISA / within a single function.
The calling conventions also serve as a way of customizing Cretonne's
behavior when embedded inside a VM. As an example, the SpiderWASM
calling convention is used to compile WebAssembly functions that run
inside the SpiderMonkey virtual machine.
All function signatures must have a calling convention at the end, so
this changes the textual IL syntax.
Before:
sig1 = signature(i32, f64) -> f64
After
sig1 = (i32, f64) -> f64 native
sig2 = (i32) spiderwasm
When printing functions, the signature goes after the return types:
function %r1() -> i32, f32 spiderwasm {
ebb1:
...
}
In the parser, this calling convention is optional and defaults to
"native". This is mostly to avoid updating all the existing test cases
under filetests/. When printing a function, the calling convention is
always included, including for "native" functions.
The offset is relative to the stack pointer in the calling function, so
it excludes the return address pushed by the call instruction itself on
Intel ISAs.
Change the ArgumentLoc::Stack offset to an i32, so it matches the stack
slot offsets.
Add a StackSlotKind enumeration to help keep track of the different
kinds of stack slots supported:
- Incoming and outgoing function arguments on the stack.
- Spill slots and locals.
Change the text format syntax for declaring a stack slot to use a kind
keyword rather than just 'stack_slot'.
* Function names should start with %
* Create FunctionName from string
* Implement displaying of FunctionName as %nnnn with fallback to #xxxx
* Run rustfmt and fix FunctionName::with_string in parser
* Implement FunctionName::new as a generic function
* Binary function names should start with #
* Implement NameRepr for function name
* Fix examples in docs to reflect that function names start with %
* Rebase and fix filecheck tests
This affects the comparison instructions which now read "icmp ult a, b".
This mimics LLVM's style and makes it simpler to add instruction flags
in the future, such as "load v1" -> "load aligned v1".
These enumerated operands and flags feel like opcode modifiers rather
than value operands, so displaying them differently makes sense.
Value and numeric operands are still comma separated.
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.
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'.
Create a new directory hierarchy under 'filetests' for all the tests
that are run by 'cton-util test'.
Convert the parser tests under 'tests/parser' to use 'test cat' and
filecheck directives.
