* Cranelift: Introduce the `tail` calling convention This is an unstable-ABI calling convention that we will eventually use to support Wasm tail calls. Co-Authored-By: Jamey Sharp <jsharp@fastly.com> * Cranelift: Introduce the `return_call` and `return_call_indirect` instructions These will be used to implement tail calls for Wasm and any other language targeting CLIF. The `return_call_indirect` instruction differs from the Wasm instruction of the same name by taking a native address callee rather than a Wasm function index. Co-Authored-By: Jamey Sharp <jsharp@fastly.com> * Cranelift: Implement verification rules for `return_call[_indirect]` They must: * have the same return types between the caller and callee, * have the same calling convention between caller and callee, * and that calling convention must support tail calls.

filetests
Filetests is a crate that contains multiple test suites for testing
various parts of cranelift. Each folder under cranelift/filetests/filetests is a different
test suite that tests different parts.
Adding a runtest
One of the available testsuites is the "runtest" testsuite. Its goal is to compile some piece of clif code, run it and ensure that what comes out is what we expect.
To build a run test you can add the following to a file:
test interpret
test run
target x86_64
target aarch64
target s390x
function %band_f32(f32, f32) -> f32 {
block0(v0: f32, v1: f32):
v2 = band v0, v1
return v2
}
; run: %band_f32(0x0.5, 0x1.0) == 0x1.5
Since this is a run test for band we can put it in: runtests/band.clif.
Once we have the file in the test suite we can run it by invoking: cargo run -- test filetests/filetests/runtests/band.clif from the cranelift directory.
The first lines tell clif-util what kind of tests we want to run on this file.
test interpret invokes the interpreter and checks if the conditions in the ; run comments pass. test run does the same, but compiles the file and runs it as a native binary.
