//! Legalize instructions. //! //! A legal instruction is one that can be mapped directly to a machine code instruction for the //! target ISA. The `legalize_function()` function takes as input any function and transforms it //! into an equivalent function using only legal instructions. //! //! The characteristics of legal instructions depend on the target ISA, so any given instruction //! can be legal for one ISA and illegal for another. //! //! Besides transforming instructions, the legalizer also fills out the `function.encodings` map //! which provides a legal encoding recipe for every instruction. //! //! The legalizer does not deal with register allocation constraints. These constraints are derived //! from the encoding recipes, and solved later by the register allocator. use ir::{Function, Cursor, DataFlowGraph, InstructionData, Opcode, InstBuilder}; use ir::condcodes::IntCC; use isa::{TargetIsa, Legalize}; /// Legalize `func` for `isa`. /// /// - Transform any instructions that don't have a legal representation in `isa`. /// - Fill out `func.encodings`. /// pub fn legalize_function(func: &mut Function, isa: &TargetIsa) { // TODO: This is very simplified and incomplete. func.encodings.resize(func.dfg.num_insts()); let mut pos = Cursor::new(&mut func.layout); while let Some(_ebb) = pos.next_ebb() { // Keep track of the cursor position before the instruction being processed, so we can // double back when replacing instructions. let mut prev_pos = pos.position(); while let Some(inst) = pos.next_inst() { match isa.encode(&func.dfg, &func.dfg[inst]) { Ok(encoding) => *func.encodings.ensure(inst) = encoding, Err(action) => { // We should transform the instruction into legal equivalents. // Possible strategies are: // 1.
