On the build side, this commit introduces two things:
1. The automatic generation of various ISLE definitions for working with
CLIF. Specifically, it generates extern type definitions for clif opcodes and
the clif instruction data `enum`, as well as extractors for matching each clif
instructions. This happens inside the `cranelift-codegen-meta` crate.
2. The compilation of ISLE DSL sources to Rust code, that can be included in the
main `cranelift-codegen` compilation.
Next, this commit introduces the integration glue code required to get
ISLE-generated Rust code hooked up in clif-to-x64 lowering. When lowering a clif
instruction, we first try to use the ISLE code path. If it succeeds, then we are
done lowering this instruction. If it fails, then we proceed along the existing
hand-written code path for lowering.
Finally, this commit ports many lowering rules over from hand-written,
open-coded Rust to ISLE.
In the process of supporting ISLE, this commit also makes the x64 `Inst` capable
of expressing SSA by supporting 3-operand forms for all of the existing
instructions that only have a 2-operand form encoding:
dst = src1 op src2
Rather than only the typical x86-64 2-operand form:
dst = dst op src
This allows `MachInst` to be in SSA form, since `dst` and `src1` are
disentangled.
("3-operand" and "2-operand" are a little bit of a misnomer since not all
operations are binary operations, but we do the same thing for, e.g., unary
operations by disentangling the sole operand from the result.)
There are two motivations for this change:
1. To allow ISLE lowering code to have value-equivalence semantics. We want ISLE
lowering to translate a CLIF expression that evaluates to some value into a
`MachInst` expression that evaluates to the same value. We want both the
lowering itself and the resulting `MachInst` to be pure and referentially
transparent. This is both a nice paradigm for compiler writers that are
authoring and maintaining lowering rules and is a prerequisite to any sort of
formal verification of our lowering rules in the future.
2. Better align `MachInst` with `regalloc2`'s API, which requires that the input
be in SSA form.
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 toSecondaryMapwhich can use less memory in some situations.EntitySet: a specialized form ofSecondaryMapusing a bitvector to record which entities are members of the set.
