David Given cfe5312fcc Predicates can now take numeric arguments. The PowerPC predicates have been
turned into generic ones (as they'll be useful everywhere). Node arguments for
predicates require the '%' prefix for consistency. Hex numbers are permitted.

David Given d75cc0a663 Basic register allocation works! 2016-10-08 23:32:54 +02:00
David Given 2198db69b1 Instruction predicates work now. 2016-10-08 11:35:33 +02:00
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 7a6fc7a72b Made sure that all files end in vim magic. 2016-10-05 21:07:29 +02:00
David Given 92502901a7 Better management of register data. Add struct hreg. 2016-10-05 21:00:28 +02:00
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.
2016-10-04 00:16:06 +02:00
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 3aa30e50d1 Come up with a syntax for register constraints. 2016-10-02 21:51:25 +02:00
David Given c079e97492 Perform SSA conversion of locals. Much, *much* better code now, at least
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).

David Given 06059233da Make betterer. 2016-10-01 23:41:45 +02:00
David Given 21898f784a We're going to need some type inference after all, I think. Let's do a little
for now and see how it goes.
2016-10-01 19:10:22 +02:00
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.
2016-10-01 13:56:52 +02:00
David Given 4a3a9a98dc It doesn't really make a lot of sense to have BURG nonterminal names different
to register classes, so combine them. Refactor the map code.
2016-10-01 12:17:14 +02:00
David Given 3a973a19f3 Move fatal(), warning() and aprintf() into the new data module (because they're
really useful).
2016-09-30 19:10:30 +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 a0131fdb47 You know what, the type inference stuff is a complete red herring. What this
actually needs is a more intelligent register allocator. So, remove the type
inference.

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.
2016-09-27 23:38:47 +02:00
David Given e77c5164cf Fleshed out hops and vregs. The result is almost looking like code now ---
uncanny.
2016-09-27 00:19:45 +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 9f78e0b36b Rethink the way patterns are mapped to rules; generate emitters (probably
badly).
2016-09-25 11:49:51 +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 629e0ddfc6 Some instruction selection is now happening. 2016-09-24 22:46:08 +02:00
David Given c8fcbe282a More grammar changes. 2016-09-24 19:03:55 +02:00
David Given 2acc4ed29d IR codes are now owned by mcgg; ir terminals are inserted into the table during
compilation (so you can refer to them).

David Given 1516657907 Crudely bolt on mcgg to mcg itself. 2016-09-24 17:20:40 +02:00
