Bools turned out to be a problem to due to me wanting any non-zero value
to be treated as true thus had to expand them out as well as the
floating point <-> integral conversions.
They currently fail because for vector values, gcc casts the view, not
the value, so vec4 cast to ivec4 simply views the bits as int rather
than doing the actual conversion.
Rather than specifying that the conversion should be skipped, it now
specifies the mode of the conversions (with 0 being no conversion). This
is in preparation for boolean conversion.
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.
Both float 2,3,4 vectors and double 2,3,4 vectors (1 would be just a
copy of the mul instructions).
This completes the currently planned instructions. Now for testing.
Not all possibilities are supported because converting between int and
uint, and long and ulong is essentially a no-op. However, thanks to
Deek's suggestion, not only are all reasonable conversions available,
conversions for all widths are available, so vector conversions are
supported.
The code for the conversions is generated.
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.
This includes calls and unconditional jumps, relative and through a
table. The parameters are all lumped into the one object, with some
being unused by the different types (eg, args and ret_type used only by
call expressions). Just having nice names for the parameters (instead of
e1 and e2) makes it nice, even with all the sub-types lumped together.
No mysterious type aliasing bugs this time ;)
While it doesn't cover the addressing modes, it does match the bit
pattern used in the Ruamoko instruction set. It will make selecting
branch instructions easier (especially for Ruamoko).
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).
The move operator names are definitely obsolete (due to dropping the
expressions a year or two ago) and the precedence checks seem to be
handled elsewhere. Memset and state expressions went away a while back
too.
While this was a pain to get working, that pain only went to prove the
value of using proper "types" (even if only an enum) for different
expression types: just finding all the places to edit was a chore, and
easy to make mistakes (forgetting bits here and there).
Strangely enough, this exposed a pile of *type* aliasing bugs (next
commit).
Both pr_type_size and pr_type_name. I want to macroize the enum, but
need to sort out the clutter of headers first, just need to decide on
naming. This at least sorts out the missed values for now.
v6 vs v6p are more or less as before, with ruamoko added in. qfcc will
now try (and fail, due to the opcode table opnames being wrong) to
create ruamoko progs when given the ruamoko target option.
At this stage, I doubt emit.c will need to know the details of the
target (v6, v6p, ruamoko) since the instruction formats are identical,
just different meanings for the opcode itself.
This allows v6, v6p (older QF VM) or ruamoko (new QF VM) to be targeted.
Currently defaults to v6p to allow QF to continue building without too
much hassle.
While qfcc dealing sensibly with mixed target VMs in the object files
has always been an outstanding issue, with the new instruction set it
has become a priority. Most importantly, this should allow QF to
continue building while I work on qfcc targeting the new IS.
It does little good for documentation to refer to fields that don't
exist (because a certain someone forgot to change the docs when changing
the field names, I wonder who :P).
In some cases, gcc-11 does a good enough job translating normal looking
C expressions so use just those, but other times need to dig around for
an appropriate intrinsic.
Also, now need to disable psapi warnings when compiling for anything
less than avx.
