possible values. Add the PowerPC ncg and mcg backend support to let the test
actually run, including modifying a bunch of PowrePC libem functions so that
they can be called from both ncg and mcg.
This provides and, ior, xor, com, zer, set, cms when defined($1) and
ior, set when !defined($1). I don't provide the other operations
!defined($1) because our Modula-2 compiler hasn't used them.
I wrote a Modula-2 example in
https://gist.github.com/kernigh/add79662bb3c63ffb7c46d01dc8ae788
Put a dummy comment in mach/powerpc/libem/build.lua so git checkout
will touch that file. Without the touch, the build system doesn't see
the new *.s files.
We only implement 'los 4', 'sts 4', 'cmi 4', 'cmu 4', not for sizes
other than 4. Add clause $1==4.
We only implement inn when defined($1).
The rule for aar needs 'kills ALL' because it kills many registers,
like other rules that call libem.
This allows 'move {CONST, $1}, R3' with a small enough $1 to emit one
instruction (addi) instead of two instructions (addis, ori). The
CONST token confusingly isn't in the CONST_ALL set.
The spec says, "ASS w: Adjust the stack pointer by w-byte integer".
The w argument "can either be given as argument or on top of the
stack." Therefore, 'ass 4' would pop the 4-byte integer from the
stack, but 'ass' would pop the size w from the stack, then pop the
w-byte integer.
PowerPC ncg wrongly implemented 'ass' as if it was 'ass 4'. Fix it to
accept only 'ass 4'.
These instructions would load or store the EM heap pointer. They
don't work. Programs must use brk() or sbrk() in libsys.
The last file to use 'lor 2' and 'str 2' was lang/pc/libpc/sav.e in
the Pascal library. Commit c084f9f deleted the file, so we no longer
need rules 'lor 2' or 'str 2' to build the ACK.
PowerPC has a few hundred special-purpose registers. The assembler
had only accepted the names "xer", "lr", "ctr". Most programs use
only those three SPRs. If I add more names, they would almost never
get used, and they might conflict with labels.
I want to use "mfspr r3, 0x3f0" and "mtspr 0x3f0, r3" in
plat/qemu/boot.s to access register hid0 from supervisor mode.
corresponding invocation in the ncg table so the same helpers can be used for
both mcg and ncg. Add a new IR opcode, FARJUMP, which jumps to a helper
function but saves volatile registers.
register 'type'; now use int/float/long/double throughout to identify
registers. Lots of register allocator tweaks and table bugfixes --- we now get
through the dreading Mathlib.mod!
