On ISAs with no instruction predicates, just emit an unimplemented!()
stub for the check_instp() function. It is unlikely that a finished ISA
will not have any instruction predicates.
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.
Ensure that the set of register classes is closed under intersection.
Provide a RegClass::intersect() method which finds the register class
representing the intersection of two classes.
Generate a bit-mask of subclasses for each register class to be used by
the intersect() method.
Ensure that register classes are sorted topologically. This is also used
by the intersect() method.
Every encoding recipe must specify register constraints on input and
output values.
Generate recipe constraint tables along with the other encoding tables.
This set of available register units also manages register aliasing in
an efficient way.
Detect if the units in a register straddles mask words. The algorithm
for allocating multi-unit registers expect the whole register to be
inside a single mask word. We could handle this if necessary, but so far
no ISAs need it.
Also rework the algorithm to be more robust against unreachable blocks.
- Add an is_reachable(ebb) method.
- Change idom(ebb) to just return an instruction.
- Make idom() return None for the entry block as well as unreachable
blocks.
- Remove NO_VALUE and ExpandedValue::None.
- Remove the Default implelmentation for Value.
- InstructionData::second_result() returns an Option<Value>.
- InstructionData::second_result() returns a reference to the packed
option.
This was only used for the comment rewrite mechanism, and we can just
predict the next allocated instruction number instead. See the other
uses of next_key() for gather_comments().
This is simply the slice iterator for the dense vector.
- map.values() returns an iterator with references to the values.
- for i in &map iterates over references to the values.
This implements the classic Briggs/Torczon sparse set construct.
Adapt it to our existing EntityRef infrastructure so we can use types
keys instead of just integers like the original paper does.
Also provide a SparseSet<T> type alias which implements a sparse set of
entity refeences. This is actually closer to what the original paper
describes.
We will track live ranges separately for each SSA value, rather than per
virtual register like LLVM does.
This is the basis for a register allocator, so place it in a new
regalloc module.
The ProgramOrder::cmp() comparison is often used where one or both
arguments are statically known to be an Inst or Ebb. Give the compiler a
better chance to discover this via inlining and other optimizations.
- Make cmp() generic with Into<ExpandedProgramPoint> bounds.
- Implement the natural From<T> traits for ExpandedProgramPoint.
- Make Layout::pp_seq() generic with the same bound.
Now, with inlining and constant folding, passing an Inst argument to
PO::cmp() will result in a call to a monomorphized Layout::seq::<Inst>()
which can avoid the dynamic match to select a table for looking up the
sequence number.
The result is that comparing two program points of statically known type
results in two direct table lookups and a sequence number comparison.
This all uses ExpandedProgramPoint because it is more likely to be
transparent to the constant folder than the bit-packed ProgramPoint
type.
Assign sequence numbers to both instructions and EBB headers such that
their relative position can be determined in constant time simply by
comparing sequence numbers.
Implement the sequence numbers with a scheme similar to the line numbers
used in BASIC programs. Start out with 10, 20, 30, ... and pick numbers
in the gaps as long as possible. Renumber locally when needed.
for InstructionData. Use generated `is_terminator()` for `Opcode`
instead. `is_terminator`, `can_trap` and `is_branch` functions are now
public.
fix syntax error
The intel, arm32, and arm32 targets were only defined in the meta
language previously. Add Rust implementations too.
This is mostly boilerplate, except for the unit tests in the
registers.rs files.
Add a RegBank class for describing CPU register banks.
Define register banks for all the ISA stubs. The ARM32 floating point
bank in particular requires attention.
The Intel ISA handles both 32-bit and 64-bit code.
ARM is split into separate arm32 and arm64 ISAs since the architectures
have little in common in instruction encodings and register files.
Use the inferred type variables to construct a type argument for builder
methods. This is for those instructions where the result types cannot be
computed from the result types.
Each instruction used in a pattern has constraints on the types of its
operands. These constraints are expressed as symbolic type variables.
Compute type variables for each variable used in a transformation
pattern. Some are free type variables, and some are derived from the
free type variables.
The type variables associated with variables can be used for computing
the result types of replacement instructions that don't support simple
forward type inference from their inputs.
The type sets computed by this patch are conservatively too large, so
they can't yet be used to type check patterns.
Add TypeVar constants representing the available type functions, and a
TypeVar.derived() static method which creates a derived TypeVar.
Keep the existing non-parametric methods for creating derived type
variables.
Add a method for converting a free type variable to a derived one.
