This allows the assertions to be disabled in release builds, so that
the code is faster and smaller, at the expense of not performing the
checks. Assertions can be re-enabled in release builds with the
debug-assertions flag in Cargo.toml, as the top-level Cargo.toml
file does.
Previously, cretonne-wasm used its own Local struct for identifying
local variables. However, now that cretonne-frontend provides a
Variable struct, just use that instead.
Frontends can still use their own types with `ILBuilder` and
`FunctionBuilder`. This just provides a basic `Variable` struct
for frontends that want it.
* Elaborate on Cretonne's rustc backend goals.
* Remove these extra newlines. They don't show up in the rendered form anyway.
* Fix typo.
* The document is meant to speak with the voice of the project.
When relaxing a branch, restrict the set of candidate encodings to those which
have the same input constraints as the original encoding choice. This prevents
situations where relaxation prefers a non-REX-prefixed encoding over a REX
prefixed one because the end of the instruction can be one byte closer to the
destination, in a situation where the encoding needs to be REX-prefixed
because of one of the operand registers.
This also makes the Context class perform encoding verification after
relaxation, to catch similar problems in the future.
Fixes#256.
Cretonne's python scripts aren't run very often, so there's little
benefit in creating .pyc files. And the .pyc files cause trouble for
some vendoring scripts. So disable them.
Emergency stack slots are a new kind of stack slot added relatively
recently. They need to be allocated a stack offset just like explicit
and spill slots.
Also, make StackSlotData's offset field an Option, to catch problems
like this in the future. Previously the value 0 was used when offsets
weren't assigned yet, however that made it non-obvious when the field
meant "not assigned yet" and when it meant "assigned the value 0".
Spiderwasm on 32-bit x86 always uses a 16-byte-aligned stack pointer.
Change the setting for the "native" convention as well, for
compatibility with Linux and Darwin ABIs, and so that if a platform
has different ABI rules, the problem will be detected in code emitted by
Cretonne, rather than somewhere else.
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.
Adds support for transforming integer division and remainder by constants
into sequences that do not involve division instructions.
* div/rem by constant powers of two are turned into right shifts, plus some
fixups for the signed cases.
* div/rem by constant non-powers of two are turned into double length
multiplies by a magic constant, plus some fixups involving shifts,
addition and subtraction, that depends on the constant, the word size and
the signedness involved.
* The following cases are transformed: div and rem, signed or unsigned, 32
or 64 bit. The only un-transformed cases are: unsigned div and rem by
zero, signed div and rem by zero or -1.
* This is all incorporated within a new transformation pass, "preopt", in
lib/cretonne/src/preopt.rs.
* In preopt.rs, fn do_preopt() is the main driver. It is designed to be
extensible to transformations of other kinds of instructions. Currently
it merely uses a helper to identify div/rem transformation candidates and
another helper to perform the transformation.
* In preopt.rs, fn get_div_info() pattern matches to find candidates, both
cases where the second arg is an immediate, and cases where the second
arg is an identifier bound to an immediate at its definition point.
* In preopt.rs, fn do_divrem_transformation() does the heavy lifting of the
transformation proper. It in turn uses magic{S,U}{32,64} to calculate the
magic numbers required for the transformations.
* There are many test cases for the transformation proper:
filetests/preopt/div_by_const_non_power_of_2.cton
filetests/preopt/div_by_const_power_of_2.cton
filetests/preopt/rem_by_const_non_power_of_2.cton
filetests/preopt/rem_by_const_power_of_2.cton
filetests/preopt/div_by_const_indirect.cton
preopt.rs also contains a set of tests for magic number generation.
* The main (non-power-of-2) transformation requires instructions that return
the high word of a double-length multiply. For this, instructions umulhi
and smulhi have been added to the core instruction set. These will map
directly to single instructions on most non-intel targets.
* intel does not have an instruction exactly like that. For intel,
instructions x86_umulx and x86_smulx have been added. These map to real
instructions and return both result words. The intel legaliser will
rewrite {s,u}mulhi into x86_{s,u}mulx uses that throw away the lower half
word. Tests:
filetests/isa/intel/legalize-mulhi.cton (new file)
filetests/isa/intel/binary64.cton (added x86_{s,u}mulx encoding tests)
