Whether the downsides in POSIX and existing application compatibility
outweigh the benefits of thread safety remains an open question.
Right now, this note is just documenting the current behavior.
A CallConv enum on every function signature makes it possible to
generate calls to functions with different calling conventions within
the same ISA / within a single function.
The calling conventions also serve as a way of customizing Cretonne's
behavior when embedded inside a VM. As an example, the SpiderWASM
calling convention is used to compile WebAssembly functions that run
inside the SpiderMonkey virtual machine.
All function signatures must have a calling convention at the end, so
this changes the textual IL syntax.
Before:
sig1 = signature(i32, f64) -> f64
After
sig1 = (i32, f64) -> f64 native
sig2 = (i32) spiderwasm
When printing functions, the signature goes after the return types:
function %r1() -> i32, f32 spiderwasm {
ebb1:
...
}
In the parser, this calling convention is optional and defaults to
"native". This is mostly to avoid updating all the existing test cases
under filetests/. When printing a function, the calling convention is
always included, including for "native" functions.
ARM has all of these as scalar integer instructions. Intel has band_not
in SSE and as a scalar in BMI1.
Add the trivial legalization patterns that use a bnot instruction.
Add instructions representing Intel's division instructions which use a
numerator that is twice as wide as the denominator and produce both the
quotient and remainder.
Add encodings for the x86_[su]divmodx instructions.
* Clarify that extended basic blocks are abbreviated as EBB.
* Fix typo.
* Fix a typo.
* Fix typos.
* Use the same phrase to indicate scalar-only as other places in the doc.
* Mention that `band_imm` and friends are scalar-only.
And mention that they're equivalent to their respective
non-immediate-form counterparts.
Add a StackSlotKind enumeration to help keep track of the different
kinds of stack slots supported:
- Incoming and outgoing function arguments on the stack.
- Spill slots and locals.
Change the text format syntax for declaring a stack slot to use a kind
keyword rather than just 'stack_slot'.
* Function names should start with %
* Create FunctionName from string
* Implement displaying of FunctionName as %nnnn with fallback to #xxxx
* Run rustfmt and fix FunctionName::with_string in parser
* Implement FunctionName::new as a generic function
* Binary function names should start with #
* Implement NameRepr for function name
* Fix examples in docs to reflect that function names start with %
* Rebase and fix filecheck tests
* Skeleton simple_gvn pass.
* Basic testing infrastructure for simple-gvn.
* Add can_load and can_store flags to instructions.
* Move the replace_values function into the DataFlowGraph.
* Make InstructionData derive from Hash, PartialEq, and Eq.
* Make EntityList's hash and eq functions panic.
* Change Ieee32 and Ieee64 to store u32 and u64, respectively.
Enumerate a set of special purposes for function arguments that general
purpose code needs to know about. Some of these argument purposes will
only appear in the signature of the current function, representing
things the prologue and epilogues need to know about like the link
register and callee-saved registers.
Get rid of the 'inreg' argument flag. Arguments can be pre-assigned to a
specific register instead.
All values are now references into the value table, so drop the
distinction between direct and table values. Direct values don't exist
any more.
Also remove the parser support for the 'vxNN' syntax. Only 'vNN' values
can be parsed now.
Any *.cton files in the docs directory are now included when running the
test-all.sh script. This is to ensure that the examples are in fact
correct IL.
Always print NaN and Inf floats with a sign. Print the positive ones as
+NaN and +Inf to make them easier to parse.
This instruction behaves like icmp fused with brnz, and it can be used
to represent fused compare+branch instruction on Intel when optimizing
for macro-op fusion.
RISC-V provides compare-and-branch instructions directly, and it is
needed there too.
The meaning of format.typevar_operand changes recently to be relative to
value operands only instead of all operands. The Sphinx cton domain
wasn't updated.
Compare a scalar integer to an immediate constant. Both Intel and RISC-V
ISAs have this operation.
This requires the addition of a new IntCompareImm instruction format.
If an instruction doesn't have an associated encoding, use the standard
TargetIsa hook to encode it.
The test still fails if an instruction can't be encoded. There is no
legalization step.
No instruction sets actually have single instructions for materializing
vector constants. You always need to use a constant pool.
Cretonne doesn't have constant pools yet, but it will in the future, and
that is how vector constants should be represented.
Instruction formats are now identified by a signature that doesn't
include the ordering of value operands relative to immediate operands.
This means that the BinaryRev instruction format becomes redundant, so
delete it. The isub_imm instruction was the only one using that format.
Rename it to irsub_imm to make it clear what it does now that it is
printed as 'irsub_imm v2, 45'.
Read the Docs is now using the latest version of Sphinx, so upgrade our
recommended version too.
As of Sphinx 1.4, index entries are 5-tuples instead of 4-tuples. Update
the Cretonne Sphinx domain to generate the new 5-tuples.
Since we're over this compatibility bump, there's no reason to recommend
a specific Sphinx version, so just go back to 'current'.
Add support for two new type variable functions: half_vector() and
double_vector().
Use these two instructions to break down unsupported SIMD types and
build them up again.
Specify the location of arguments as well as the size of stack argument
array needed. The ABI annotations are optional, just like the value
locations.
Remove the Eq implementation for Signature which was only used by a
single parser test.
Every encoding recipe must specify register constraints on input and
output values.
Generate recipe constraint tables along with the other encoding tables.
