David Given 9977ce841a Remove the bytes1, bytes2, bytes4, bytes8 attributes; remove the concept of a
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!

David Given abd0cedd61 Massive change to how IR types are handled; we use the type code for matching
rather than the size. Much cleaner and simpler.

David Given 4db402f229 Add (pretty crummy) support for register aliases and static pairs of registers.
We should have enough functionality now for rather buggy 8-bit ints and
doubles. Rework the table and the platform.c to match.

David Given d6984d60ac Add parsing support for register aliases. 2016-10-20 21:47:28 +02:00
David Given 517120d0fb Allow asm names for registers which are different from the friendly names shown
in the tracing (because PowerPC register names are just numbers).

David Given bb17aea73a You can now mark a register as corrupting a certain register class; calls work,
or at least look like they work. The bad news is that the register allocator
has a rare talent for putting things in the wrong register.

David Given 98fe70a7de Output register equality constraints work. 2016-10-14 22:17:02 +02:00
David Given f06b51c981 Keep track of register types as well as attributes --- the type being how we
find new registers when evicting values. Input constraints work (they were
being ignored before). Various bug fixing so they actually work.

David Given 23c3575f0f The register allocator now makes a spirited attempt to honour register
attributes when allocating. Unfortunately, backward edges don't work (because
the limited def-use chain stuff doesn't work across basic blocks). Needs more
thought.

David Given 88fb231d6e Better constraint syntax; mcgg now passes register usage information up to mcg;
mcg can track individual hop inputs and outputs (needed for live range
analysis!); the register allocator now puts the basic blocks into the right
order in preparation for live range analysis.

David Given 92502901a7 Better management of register data. Add struct hreg. 2016-10-05 21:00:28 +02:00
David Given bd28bddb92 Massive rewrite of how emitters and the instruction selector works, after I
realised that the existing approach wasn't working. Now, hopefully, tracks the
instruction trees generated during selection properly.

David Given 68f98cbad7 Instruction selection now happens on a shadow tree, rather than on the IR tree
itself. Currently it's semantically the same but the implementation is cleaner.
2016-10-03 20:52:36 +02:00
David Given 288ee56203 Get quite a long way towards basic output-register equality constraints (needed
to make special nodes like NOP work properly). Realise that the way I'm dealing
with the instruction selector is all wrong; I need to physically copy chunks of
tree to give to burg (so I can terminate them correctly).
2016-10-02 23:25:54 +02:00
David Given b32883b013 More properly keep track of register classes. 2016-09-29 22:32:43 +02:00
David Given 0d246c0d73 Much better handling of fragments (no run-time code needed to distinguish them
from registers) and better handling of individual hops within a paragraph ---
no more ghastly hacks to try and distinguish the input from the output.
2016-09-29 22:06:04 +02:00
David Given 416b13fd76 Start factoring out the hardware op code. 2016-09-25 23:29:59 +02:00
David Given 39aa672422 Sort of keep track of registers and register classes. Start walking the
generated instruction tree --- holy cow, they look like instructions!
2016-09-25 22:17:14 +02:00
David Given bde5792b1a Collapse several rule arrays into one; actually generate the array properly. 2016-09-25 17:14:54 +02:00
David Given bcc74ba18d Stupid stringlist is stupid. Use a proper data structure, properly abstracted
out (so other things can use it).
2016-09-25 12:18:39 +02:00
David Given 9f78e0b36b Rethink the way patterns are mapped to rules; generate emitters (probably
badly).

David Given 629e0ddfc6 Some instruction selection is now happening. 2016-09-24 22:46:08 +02:00
