This malloc.h might get confused with the private malloc.h in our
libc. C programs should #include <stdlib.h> for malloc().
This tgmath.h has no useful content, and never worked because
complex.h is missing.
Touch build.lua (by deleting some whitespace) so the *.h globs see
the deletions.
These functions are in POSIX; hypot() is in C99. Also build cabs()
because it rides with hypot(), but don't declare cabs() in any header
file, because our compiler can't parse C99 "double complex" type.
Touch build.lua so it sees that .c files moved.
These files come from old build systems, and are useless since the old
build systems got deleted. TakeAction is from proto.make system and
config.pm is from pmfile system.
In util/ncgg, add two more errors for tables using reglap:
- "Two sizes of reg_float can't be same size"
- "Missing reg_float of size %d to contain %s"
In mach/proto/ncg, rename macro isregvar_size() to PICK_REGVAR(), so
the macro doesn't look like a function. This macro sometimes doesn't
evaluate its second argument.
In mach/powerpc/ncg/mach.c, change type of lfs_set to uint32_t, and
change the left shifts from 1U<<regno to (uint32_t)1<<regno, because
1U would be too small for machines with 16-bit int.
This relocation is specific to PowerPC. @davidgiven suggested the
name RELOPPC_LIS in
https://github.com/davidgiven/ack/pull/52#issuecomment-279856501
Reindent the list in h/out.h and util/led/ack.out.5 because
RELOLIS_PPC is a long name. I use spaces and no tabs because the tabs
looked bad in the manual page.
ack -mlinuxppc -O4 now runs more phases of ego, including the register
allocation phase, so ncg emits better code.
Set MACHOPT_F=-m3 as I did it for osxppc; see commit 0c2b6f5.
Remove CC_ALIGN=-Vr so bitfields agree with gcc for PowerPC Linux.
Remove unused C_LIB and OLD_C_LIB.
Because lwzu or stwu moves the pointer, I can remove an addi
instruction from the loop, so the loop is slightly faster.
I wrote a benchmark in Modula-2 that exercises some of these loops. I
measured its time on my old PowerPC Mac. Its user time decreases from
8.401s to 8.217s with the tighter loops.
The result of single-precision fadds, fsubs, and such can go into a
register variable, like we already do with double precision. This
avoids an extra fmr from a temporary register to the regvar.
Do the conversion by calling .cif8 or .cuf8 in libem, as it was done
before my commit 1de1e8f. I used the inline conversion to experiment
with the register allocator, which was too slow until c5bb3be.
Now that libem has the only copy of the code, move some comments and
code changes there.
Rename GPRE to GPR_EXPR, then define FPR_EXPR and FSREG_EXPR. Use
them for moves to register variables.
Keep "kills regvar($1)", because deleting it and recompiling libc
would cause many failures in my test programs. Add comment to warn,
/* ncg fails to infer that regvar($1) is dead! */
Remove "kills LOCAL %off==$1" because it seems to have no effect.
If the ncg table uses reglap, then regvar($1, reg_float) would have
two sizes of registers. An error from ncgg would happen if regvar()
was in a token that allows only one size. Now one can pick a size
with regvar_w() for word size or regvar_d() for double-word size.
Add regvar_d and regvar_w as keywords in ncgg. Modify EX_REGVAR to
include the register size. In ncg, add some checks for the register
size. In tables without reglap, regvar() works as before, and ncg
ignores the register size in EX_REGVAR.
After the RA phase of ego, a procedure may put single-word and
double-word values in the same reg_float. Then ncg will use both
LOCAL and DLOCAL tokens at the same offset.
I add isregvar_size() to ncg. It receives the size of the LOCAL or
DLOCAL token, and picks the register of the correct size. This fixes
a problem where ncg got the wrong-size register and corrupted the
stack. This problem caused one of my test programs to segfault from
stack underflow.
Also adjust how fixregvars() handles both sizes.
This merges several fixes and improvements from upstream. This
includes commit 5f6a773 to turn off qemuppc. I see several failing
tests from qemuppc; this merge will hide the test failures.
The new feature "reglap" allows two sizes of floating-point register
variables (reg_float), if each register overlaps a single register of
the other size. PowerPC ncg uses reglap to define 4-byte instances
of f14 to f31 that overlap the 8-byte instances.
When ncgg sees the definition of fs14("f14")=f14, it removes the
8-byte f14 from its rvnumbers array, and adds the 4-byte fs14 in its
place. Later, when ncg puts a variable in fs14, if it is an 8-byte
variable, then ncg switches to the 8-byte f14. The code has
/* reglap */ comments in util/ncgg or #ifdef REGLAP in mach/proto/ncg
reglap became necessary because my commit a20b87c caused PowerPC ego
to allocate reg_float in both 4-byte and 8-byte sizes.
same base name and generate multiple files based on it, we can't really use
mkstemp() for every temporary file. Instead, use mkstemp() once on a
placeholder, then generate temporary names based on this. (And delete the
placeholder once we've finished.)
After c5bb3be, ncg began to allocate regvars from r13 up. I reorder
the regvars so ncg again allocates them from r31 down. I also reorder
the other registers.
This exposed a bug in my rule for ret 8. It was wrong if item %2 was
in r3, because I moved %1 to r3 before %2 to r4. Fix it by adding
back an individual register class for r3 (called REG3 here, GPR3 in
c5bb3be).
Also fix my typo in mach.c that made a syntax error in assembly.
This removes a wrong-way dependency of libsys on libem. The C
functions in libsys called .ret, but libsys is after libem in the
linker arguments, so the linker didn't find .ret unless something else
had called .ret. Almost everything called .ret, but I got a linker
error when I wrote an assembly program using the EM runtime, because
my assembly program didn't call .ret.
Add a dummy comment to build.lua, so git checkout touches that file,
the build system reconfigures itself, and the *.s glob sees that ret.s
has gone.
This is like David Given's change to util/ncgg in d89f172. I need
this change in mach/proto/ncg to see fatal messages, because a 64-bit
pointer doesn't fit in an int.
The size of a reg_float isn't in the descr file, so ego doesn't know.
PowerPC and SPARC are the only arches with floating-point registers in
their descr files. PowerPC and SPARC registers can hold both 4-byte
and 8-byte floats, so I want ego to do both sizes.
This might break our SPARC code expander because ego doesn't know that
8-byte values take 2 registers in SPARC. (So ego might allocate too
many registers and deallocate too much stack space.) We don't build
the SPARC code expander, and its descr file is already wrong: its list
of register save costs is too short, so ego will read past the end of
the array.
This commit doesn't fix the problem with ego and PowerPC ncg. Right
now, ncg refuses to put 4-byte floats in registers, but ego expects
them to get registers and deallocates their stack space. So ncg emits
programs that use the deallocated space, and the values of 4-byte
floats become corrupt.
Use f14 to f31 as register variables for 8-byte double-precison.
There are no regvars for 4-byte double precision, because all
regvar(reg_float) must have the same size. I expect more programs to
prefer 8-byte double precision.
Teach mach/powerpc/ncg/mach.c to emit stfd and lfd instructions to
save and restore 8-byte regvars. Delay emitting the function prolog
until f_regsave(), so we can use one addi to make stack space for both
local vars and saved registers. Be more careful with types in mach.c;
don't assume that int and long and full are the same.
In ncg table, add f14 to f31 as register variables, and some rules to
use them. Add rules to put the result of fadd, fsub, fmul, fdiv, fneg
in a regvar. Without such rules, the result would go in a scratch
FREG, and we would need fmr to move it to the regvar. Also add a rule
for pat sdl inreg($1)==reg_float with STACK, so we can unstack the
value directly into the regvar, again without a scratch FREG and fmr.
Edit util/ego/descr/powerpc.descr to tell ego about the new float
regvars. This might not be working right; ego usually decides against
using any float regvars, so ack -O1 (not running ego) uses the
regvars, but ack -O4 (running ego) doesn't use the regvars.
Beware that ack -mosxppc runs ego using powerpc.descr but -mlinuxppc
and -mqemuppc run ego without a config file (since 8ef7c31). I am
testing powerpc.descr with a local edit to plat/linuxppc/descr to run
ego with powerpc.descr there, but I did not commit my local edit.
This fixes lxl 1 (so it follows the static chain, not the dynamic
chain) and provides lxl 2 and greater. The Modula-2 compiler uses lxl
for nested procedures, so they can access the variables of the
enclosing procedures.
I added REG_PAIR in cfbc537 to speed up the register allocator,
because ncg was taking about 2 seconds on each sti 8. I defined only
4 such pairs, so allocating REG_PAIR was much faster than allocating
REG REG.
After my last commit c5bb3be, allocation of REG REG is fast, and
REG_PAIR seems unnecessary.
The table for PowerPC had placed each GPR and FPR into an individual
register class (like GPR3, GPR4, FPR1, FPR2), and had used these
classes to coerce stack values into specific registers. But ncg does
not like having many register classes.

Recent changes to the PowerPC table have removed many coercions to
specific registers. Many functions in libem switched from taking
values in registers to taking them from the stack (see dc05cb2).
I now remove all 64 individual register classes of GPR and FPR. In
the few cases where I need a stack value in a specific register, I now
do a move (as the arm and m68020 tables do).
This commit speeds the compilation of some files. For my test file
fconv.c, the compilation time goes from over 20 seconds to under 1
second. My fconv.c has 4 conversions from floats to integers, and the
table has my experimental rules that do the conversions by allocating
4 or 5 registers.
Switch .cms to pass inputs and outputs on the real stack, not in
registers; like we do with .and, .or (81c677d) and .xor (c578c49).
At this point, nearly all functions in libem use the real stack, not
registers, for passing inputs and outputs. This simplifies the ncg
table (which needs fewer lists of specific registers) but slows calls
to libem.
For example, after ba9b021, each call to .aar4 is about 10
instructions slower. I moved 3 inputs and 1 output from registers to
the real stack. A program would take 4 instructions to move registers
to stack, 4 to move stack to registers, and perhaps 2 to adjust the
stack pointer.
