This commit teaches the interp scanner that supported interface
operations (type assertions, interface assertions) are supported.
This fixes a problem with math/rand in Go 1.14.
This commit replaces most panics in interp/frame.go and interp/scan.go
with real error messages. The remaining ones are panics that should not
happen when working with valid IR.
This is really just a simple workaround. When such an instruction is
encountered, it will just fall back to marking the entire function as
having side effects. Ideally it should trace all affected instructions
and check if they would have any side effects, but this at least fixes a
number of compile errors.
This commit gets the following packages to compile:
* context
* database/sql/driver
* image/jpeg
* image/png
Declarations would enter an infinite loop when trying to loop over basic
blocks. That was probably an undefined operation, but still somehow
didn't crash the compiler.
Make sure that scanning declarations works as expected.
This implements the copy() built-in function. It may not work in all
cases, but should work in most cases.
This commit gets the following 3 packages to compile, according to
tinygo-site/imports/main.go:
* encoding/base32
* encoding/base64
* encoding/pem (was blocked by encoding/base64)
During a scan, consider loads from dirty globals to be dirty and check
whether they have any local side effects.
This fixes a problem with the new volatile operations that are now in
methods on registers instead of being emitted inline as volatile
instructions.
This commit adds debug info to function arguments, so that in many cases
you can see them when compiling with less optimizations enabled.
Unfortunately, due to the way Go SSA works, it is hard to preserve them
in many cases.
Local variables are not yet saved.
Also, change the language type to C, to make sure lldb shows function
arguments. The previous language was Modula 3, apparently due to a
off-by-one error somewhere.
This function returns the current timestamp, or 0 at compile time.
runtime.nanotime is used at package initialization by the time package
starting with Go 1.12.
There were a few issues that made interp not perform as it should:
* The scan was non-recursive due to a bug.
* Recursive scanning would always return the severity level, which is
not always the best strategy.
This commit changes many things:
* Most interface-related operations are moved into an optimization
pass for more modularity. IR construction creates pseudo-calls which
are lowered in this pass.
* Type codes are assigned in this interface lowering pass, after DCE.
* Type codes are sorted by usage: types more often used in type
asserts are assigned lower numbers to ease jump table construction
during machine code generation.
* Interface assertions are optimized: they are replaced by constant
false, comparison against a constant, or a typeswitch with only
concrete types in the general case.
* Interface calls are replaced with unreachable, direct calls, or a
concrete type switch with direct calls depending on the number of
implementing types. This hopefully makes some interface patterns
zero-cost.
These changes lead to a ~0.5K reduction in code size on Cortex-M for
testdata/interface.go. It appears that a major cause for this is the
replacement of function pointers with direct calls, which are far more
susceptible to optimization. Also, not having a fixed global array of
function pointers greatly helps dead code elimination.
This change also makes future optimizations easier, like optimizations
on interface value comparisons.
This interpreter currently complements the Go SSA level interpreter. It
may stay complementary or may be the only interpreter in the future.
This interpreter is experimental and not yet finished (there are known
bugs!) so it is disabled by default. It can be enabled by passing the
-initinterp flag.
The goal is to be able to run all initializations at compile time except
for the ones having side effects. This mostly works except perhaps for a
few edge cases.
In the future, this interpeter may be used to actually run regular Go
code, perhaps in a shell.
