branch and alub overlap in their use cases, but the backends rely on
knowing that the result is unused in their lowering of branch. By
extending alub so that the destination is optional, it can fully replace
branch.
This simplifies rtl by reducing code duplication and the number of
instructions.
Also, in the x86 and arm backends, we can now use 'test' and
{'tst','mvn','teq'} to lower some alubs without destinations. This is
particularly good for x86, as sequences such as 'is_boxed' type tests
now get shorter (both from not needing a mov to copy the variable, but
also from the fact that 'testb' encodes shorter than 'andq').

This allows us to pass around the context data that
hipe_regalloc_prepass needs cleanly, without using process dictionary or
parameterised modules (like it was previous to this change).
|
|
This is sound because the liveness data structure only stores liveness
info at basic block boundaries, and the rewrites that happen in
TargetSpecific:check_and_rewrite/2 preserves all existing definitions
and uses, and all new liveness intervals, belonging to newly introduced
temporaries, are always local to a basic block, and thus do not show up
in the liveout or livein sets for the basic block.
|
|
These will not only be useful for hipe_regalloc_prepass, but also, after
the introduction of a mk_move/2 (or similar) callback, for the purpose
of range splitting.
Since the substitution needed to case over all the instructions, a new
module, hipe_arm_subst, was introduced to the arm backend.
|
|
hipe_regalloc_prepass speeds up register allocation by spilling any temp
that is live over a call (which clobbers all register).
In order to detect these, a new function was added to the target
interface; defines_all_alloc/1, that takes an instruction and returns a
boolean.
|
|
Now, there will only ever be a single Linear->CFG conversion, just after
lowering from RTL, and only ever a single CFG->Linear conversion, just
before the finalise pass. Both of these now happen in hipe_arm_main.

The ARM backend crashes if certain RTL optimisations were omitted,
preventing it from being usable at lower optimisation levels.
One of the problems were caused by shift-by-immediate-zero, which wraps
to immediate-32 with some shiftops. TODO: Someplace should be modified
to crash when these are generated so debuging further instances of this
gets easier in the future.

For x86, additionally reuse liveness from float LSRA for the GP LSRA.
|
|
Since the link register/return address is restored before stack
arguments are stored to the frame, we must not use it to store a stack
argument. We do that by adding it to the registers clobbered by
pseudo_tailcall_prepare.

Main problem:
A faulty HIPE_LITERAL_CRC was not detected by the loader.
Strangeness #1:
Dialyzer should ask the hipe compiler about the target checksum,
not an internal bif.
Strangeness #2:
The HIPE_SYSTEM_CRC checksum was based on the HIPE_LITERALS_CRC
checksum.
Solution:
New HIPE_ERTS_CHECKSUM which is an bxor of the two (now independent)
HIPE_LITERALS_CRC and HIPE_SYSTEM_CRC.
HIPE_LITERALS_CRC represents values that are assumed to stay constant
for different VM configurations of the same arch, and are therefor
hard coded into the hipe compiler.
HIPE_SYSTEM_CRC represents values that may differ between VM variants.
By default the hipe compiler asks the running VM for this checksum,
in order to create beam files for the same running VM.
The hipe compiler can be configured (with "make XCOMP=yes ...") to
create beam files for another VM variant, in which case HIPE_SYSTEM_CRC
is also hard coded.
ToDo:
Treat all erts properties the same. Either ask the running VM or hard
coded into hipe (if XCOMP=yes). This will simplify and reduce the risk
of dangerous mismatches. One concern might be the added overhead
from more frequent calls to hipe_bifs:get_rts_param.

All backends (e.g. arm, ppc, sparc, x86) share the same code for the following
functions:
* find_const/2,
* mk_data_relocs/2, and
* slim_sorted_exportmap/3
This commit moves those definitions (along with some helper functions) in
misc/hipe_pack_constants.erl and adds the appropriate specs. This is a
structural change; no change in semantics intented.

environment after a number of bugs are fixed and some features
are added in the documentation build process.
- The arity calculation is updated.
- The module prefix used in the function names for bif's are
removed in the generated links so the links will look like
http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/erlang.html#append_element-2
instead of
http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/erlang.html#erlang:append_element-2
- Enhanced the menu positioning in the html documentation when a
new page is loaded.
- A number of corrections in the generation of man pages (thanks
to Sergei Golovan)
- Moved some man pages to more apropriate sections, pages in
section 4 moved to 5 and pages in 6 moved to 7.
- The legal notice is taken from the xml book file so OTP's
build process can be used for non OTP applications.
