This is a follow-up to comments in #5795 to remove some cruft in the x64 instruction model to ensure that the shape of an `Inst` reflects what's going to happen in regalloc and encoding. This accessor was used to handle `round*`, `pextr*`, and `pshufb` instructions. The `round*` ones had already moved to the appropriate `XmmUnary*` variant and `pshufb` was additionally moved over to that variant as well. The `pextr*` instructions got a new `Inst` variant and additionally had their constructors slightly modified to no longer require the type as input. The encoding for these instructions now automatically handles the various type-related operands through a new `SseOpcode::Pextrq` operand to represent 64-bit movements.
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.
