I realized that being able to do bit-wise operations with 64-bit values
(and 256-bit vectors) is far more important than some convenient boolean
logic operators. The logic ops can be handled via the bit-wise ops so
long as the values are all properly boolean, and I plan on adding some
boolean conversion ope, so no real loss.
Thanks to Deek for the suggestion: the mode (ie, src and dst types) are
encoded in st->b. Actual code not written yet, but this frees up 13
instructions: now have 74 available for really interesting stuff :)
The call1-8 instructions have been removed as they are really not needed
(they were put in when I had plans of simple translation of v6p progs to
ruamoko, but they joined the dinosaurs).
The call instruction lost mode A (that is now return) and its mode B is
just the regular function access. The important thing is op_c (with
support for with-bases) specifies the location of the return def.
The return instruction packs both its addressing mode and return value
size into st->c as a 3.5 value: 3 bits for the mode (it supports all
five addressing modes with entity.field being mode 4) and 5 for the
size, limiting return sizes to 32 words, which is enough for one 4x4
double matrix.
This, especially with the following convert patch, frees up a lot of
instructions.
Now they're in a much more consistent arrangement, in particular with
the comparison opcodes if the conditional branch instructions are
considered to be fast comparisons with zero (ifnot -> ifeq, if -> ifne,
etc). Unconditional jump and call fill in the gaps. The goal was to get
them all in an arrangement that would work as a small enum for qfcc: it
can use the enum directly for the ruamoko IS, and a small map array for
v6p (except for call).
As I expect to be tweaking things for a while, it's part of the build
process. This will make it a lot easier to adjust mnemonics and argument
formats (tweaking the old table was a pain when conventions changed).
It's not quite done as it still needs arg widths and types.
