Jamey Sharp 77ab99d3b0 cranelift-frontend: SSA-building cleanup (#4984)
* Cleanups to cranelift-frontend SSA construction

* Encode sealed/undef_variables relationship in type

A block can't have any undef_variables if it is sealed. It's useful to
make that fact explicit in the types so that any time either value is
used, it's clear that we should think about the other one too.

In addition, encoding this fact in an enum type lets Rust apply an
optimization that reduces the size of SSABlockData by 8 bytes, making it
fit in a 64-byte cache line. I haven't taken the extra step of making
SSABlockData be 64-byte aligned because 1) it doesn't seem to have a
performance impact and b) doing so makes other structures quite a bit
bigger.

* Simplify finish_predecessors_lookup

Using Vec::drain is more concise than a combination of
iter().rev().take() followed by Vec::truncate. And in this case it
doesn't matter what order we examine the results in, because we just
want to know if they're all equal, so we might as well iterate forward
instead of in reverse.

There's no need for the ZeroOneOrMore enum. Instead, there are only two
cases: either we have a single value to use for the variable (possibly
synthesized as a constant zero), or we need to add a block parameter in
every predecessor.

Pre-filtering the results iterator to eliminate the sentinel makes it
easy to identify how many distinct definitions this variable has.
iter.next() indicates if there are any definitions at all, and then
iter.all() is a clear way to express that we want to know if the
remaining definitions are the same as the first one.

* Simplify append_jump_argument

* Avoid assigning default() into SecondaryMap

This eliminates some redundant reads and writes.

* cranelift-frontend: Construct with default()

This eliminates a bunch of boilerplate in favor of a built in `derive`
macro.

Also I'm deleting an import that had the comment "FIXME: Remove in
edition2021", which we've been using everywhere since April.

* Fix tests

This crate contains array-based data structures used by the core Cranelift code generator which use densely numbered entity references as mapping keys.

One major difference between this crate and crates like slotmap, slab, and generational-arena is that this crate currently provides no way to delete entities. This limits its use to situations where deleting isn't important, however this also makes it more efficient, because it doesn't need extra bookkeeping state to reuse the storage for deleted objects, or to ensure that new objects always have unique keys (eg. slotmap's and generational-arena's versioning).

Another major difference is that this crate protects against using a key from one map to access an element in another. Where SlotMap, Slab, and Arena have a value type parameter, PrimaryMap has a key type parameter and a value type parameter. The crate also provides the entity_impl macro which makes it easy to declare new unique types for use as keys. Any attempt to use a key in a map it's not intended for is diagnosed with a type error.

Another is that this crate has two core map types, PrimaryMap and SecondaryMap, which serve complementary purposes. A PrimaryMap creates its own keys when elements are inserted, while an SecondaryMap reuses the keys values of a PrimaryMap, conceptually storing additional data in the same index space. SecondaryMap's values must implement Default and all elements in an SecondaryMap initially have the value of default().

A common way to implement Default is to wrap a type in Option, however this crate also provides the PackedOption utility which can use less memory in some cases.

Additional utilities provided by this crate include:

  • EntityList, for allocating many small arrays (such as instruction operand lists in a compiler code generator).
  • SparseMap: an alternative to SecondaryMap which can use less memory in some situations.
  • EntitySet: a specialized form of SecondaryMap using a bitvector to record which entities are members of the set.
