Change the operator in his() from a - minus to a + plus. When los(n)
becomes negative, then his(n) needs to add 0x10000, not subtract it.
Also change los(n) to do the sign extension, because smalls(los(n))
should be true, not false.
Also change hi(n) and lo(n) to wrap n in parentheses, as (n), because
these are macros and n might still contain operators.
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.
turned into generic ones (as they'll be useful everywhere). Node arguments for
predicates require the '%' prefix for consistency. Hex numbers are permitted.
This feature has never been used since its introduction, more than 3
years ago, in David Given's commit c93cb69 of May 8, 2013. The commit
was for "PowerPC and M68K work". I am not undoing the entire commit.
I am only removing the stackadjust and stackoffset() feature.
This commit removes the feature from my branch kernigh-linuxppc. This
removal includes the mach/proto/ncg parts. The default branch already
removed most of the feature, but kept the mach/proto/ncg parts. That
removal happened in commit 81778b6 of May 13, 2013 (which was a merge;
git diff af0dede81778b6). The branch dtrg-experimental-powerpc
merged the default branch but without the removal. That merge was
commit 4703db0f of Sep 15, 2016 (git diff 8c94b134703db0). My branch
kernigh-linuxppc is off branch dtrg-experimental-powerpc, so I can no
longer get the removal by merging default.
David Given described the stackadjust feature in
https://sourceforge.net/p/tack/mailman/message/30814691/
The instruction stackadjust would add a value to the offset, and the
function stackoffset() would return this offset. One would use this
to track sp - fp, then omit the frame pointer by not keeping fp in a
register.
We only need GPRE in a few places where we write {GPRE, regvar(...)}
because ncgg can't parse plain regvar(...). In all other places, a
plain GPR works.
Also remove gpr_gpr_gpr and a few other unused and fake instructions
from the list of instructions.
Rename the scratch gpr (currently r11) from SCRATCH to RSCRATCH so I
can search for RSCRATCH without finding FSCRATCH. I also want to
avoid confusion with the SCRATCH keyword of the old code generator (cg
which came before ncg).
Change the stacking rules to prevent stacking of RSCRATCH or FSCRATCH
or any other GPR or FPR that isn't an allocatable REG or FREG. Then
ncgg rejects any rule that tries to stack a GPR or FPR, so change such
rules to stack a REG or FREG.
order. Since the dominance tree has changed when I fiddled with the graph, I
need to recompute it, so factor it out of the SSA pass. Code is uglier than I'd
like but at least the RET statement goes last in the generated code now.
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.
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).
inasmuch as it looks better before register allocation. Basic blocks now know
their own successors and predecessors (after a certain point in the IR
processing).
functions. Not convinced that semantic types are actually working --- there are
still problems with earlier statements leaving things in the wrong registers.
In our powerpc table, sdl fails to kill the old value of the local.
This is a bug, because a later ldl can load the old value instead of
the newly stored value. By rewriting "sdl 0" "ldl 0" as "dup 8" "sdl
0", the newly added rule works around the bug, but only when the ldl
is immediately after the sdl.
This rule improves code that uses double-precision floating point.
The output of printf("%f", 6.0) in C changes from all zero digits to
"6000000" but still doesn't print the decimal point. The result of
atof("-123.456") becomes correct. In startrek, I can now move the
Enterprise, but I still can't fire phasers without crashing the game.
We already have a rule for stl lol $1==$2. We had two copies of the
rule, so I am deleting the second copy.
In EM, fef splits a float into exponent and fraction. The old C code,
given an infinite float, got stuck in an infinite loop. The new
assembly code doesn't loop; it extracts the IEEE exponent.
This fixes code that tried to "addi SP, SP, 4" to drop a value that
was in a register, not on the real stack.
Add a rule to optimize "asp 4" (which becomes "loc 4" "ass") when
the value being dropped is already in a GPR.
When ncg fell back on this rule, it did emit the string "invalid" in
the assembly code and caused a syntax error in the assembler.
Adjust the stacking rules so we can stack LOCAL, CONST, and LABEL
without falling back on the "invalid" rule, and so we can stack them
when we have no free register except the scratch register.
jumps to blocks which contain only a jump). Don't bother storing the bb graph
in the ir nodes; we can find it on demand by walking the tree instead ---
slower, but much easier to understand and more robust. Added a terrible map
library.
instructions can be turned on and off based on their parameters. New lexer
using a lexer. Now quite a lot of the way towards being a real instruction
selector.
GNU as has "la %r4,8(%r3)" as an alias for "addi %r4,%r3,8", meaning
to load the address of the thing at 8(%r3). Our 'la', now 'li32',
makes an addis/ori pair to load an immediate 32-bit value. For
example, "li32 r4,23456789" loads a big number.
Upon enabling the check, mach/powerpc/ncg/table fails to build as ncgg
gives many errors of "Previous rule impossible on empty stack". David
Given reported this problem in 2013:
https://sourceforge.net/p/tack/mailman/message/30814694/
Commit c93cb69 commented out the error in util/ncgg/cgg.y to disable
the Hall check. This commit enables it again. In ncgg, the Hall
check is checking that a rule is possible with an empty fake stack.
It would be possible if ncg can coerce the values from the real stack
to the fake stack. The powerpc table defined coercions from STACK to
{FS, %a} and {FD, %a}, but the Hall check didn't understand the
coercions and rejected each rule "with FS" or "with FD".
This commit removes the FS and FD tokens and adds a new group of FSREG
registers for single-precision floats, while keeping FREG registers
for double precision. The registers overlap, with each FSREG
containing one FREG, because it is the same register in PowerPC
hardware. FS tokens become FSREG registers and FD tokens become FREG
registers. The Hall check understands the coercions from STACK to
FSREG and FREG. The idea to define separate but overlapping registers
comes from the PDP-11 table (mach/pdp/ncg/table).
This commit also removes F0 from the FREG group. This is my attempt
to keep F0 off the fake stack, because one of the stacking rules uses
F0 as a scratch register (FSCRATCH).
Inspired by the sparc code (mach/sparc/libem/lar.s). My powerpc code
might still have bugs, but it's enough for examples/hilo.mod to work.
May need to 'make clean' or touch a build.lua file, so ackbuilder can
notice the new lar4.s and sar4.s files and build them.
calculated incorrectly because of overflow errors.
Replace it with an extended RELOPPC relocation which understands addis/ori
pairs; add an la pseudoop to the assembler which generates these and the
appropriate relocation. Make good.

the number of types of relocation possible in the object file. (Now,
hopefully, working.)
Also change the object serialiser/deserialiser to never try to read or
write raw structures; it's way safer this way and we don't need the
performance boost any more.
