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 c6f576f758 Bodge in enough phi support to let the instruction generator complete on basic
programs.

David Given e13ff5be31 Don't allocate new vregs for REG and NOP --- a bit hacky, but suppresses stray
movs very effectively.

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.

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).

David Given a3cfe6047f More rigorous dealing of IR groups; no need for is_generated and is_root any
more (but now passes are required to set IR roots properly when changing
instructions).

David Given 91e277e046 Predicates work; we now have prefers and requires clauses. Predicates must be
functions. Not convinced that semantic types are actually working --- there are
still problems with earlier statements leaving things in the wrong registers.

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.

David Given 4572f1b774 Actually, I don't need vregs: hops work just as well. Particularly if I
restructure things so that I don't need to walk the blasted ir / burg tree
every time I look at an instruction.

David Given e77c5164cf Fleshed out hops and vregs. The result is almost looking like code now ---
uncanny.

David Given c4b8e00ae2 Revamp the array module not to use nasty macros any more. Slightly more verbose
to use, but definitely cleaner.

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!

David Given bde5792b1a Collapse several rule arrays into one; actually generate the array properly. 2016-09-25 17:14:54 +02:00
David Given 7c028bdd45 We now record the code fragments to be emitted by each rule. 2016-09-25 00:21:46 +02:00
David Given 717b77dd0a Instruction selection is so important the file needs a longer name. 2016-09-24 22:50:53 +02:00
