Use the new "1" versions of loadvec3 to get a 1 in w to avoid
divide-by-zero errors, and use the correct type for longs (forgot to
change i to l on the vector types).
It turned out I had no way of using a pointer or field as the value to
load, so all 4 modes are duplicated with loads from where operand b
points, but the loaded value interpreted the same way. Also, fixed an
error in the calculation of op-b offsets.
Statements can be bounds checked in the one place (jump calculation),
but memory accesses cannot as they can be used in lea instructions which
should never cause an exception (unless one of lea's operands is OOB).
* / % %% + -
As a bonus, includes partial tests for a few extra operators. Several
things are broken at this stage, but uncommitted code is already
working.
Float bit-ops as well.
Also, add q*v4 and v4*q instructions. There are currently 48 free
opcodes, and I might remove the scale instructions, but they could be
useful as expanding a single float to a vector would take 3 instructions
(copy to temp, swizzle-expand temp, multiply, vs just scale).
The swizzle instruction is very powerful in that in can do any of the
256 permutations of xyzw, optionally negate any combination of the
resulting components, and zero any combination of the result components
(even all). This means the one instruction can take care of any actual
swizzles, conjugation for complex and quaternion values, zeroing vectors
(not that it's the only way), and probably other weird things.
The python file was used to generate the jump table and actual swizzle
code.
They even found a bug in the addressing mode functions :) (I'd forgotten
that I wanted signed offsets from the pointer and thus forgot to cast
st->b to short in order to get the sign extension)
This allows the VM to select the right execution loop and qfcc currently
still produces only the old IS (it doesn't know how to deal with the new
IS yet)
When it's finalized (most of the conversion operations will go, probably
the float bit ops, maybe (very undecided) the 3-component vector ops,
and likely the CALLN ops), this will be the actual instruction set for
Ruamoko.
Main features:
- Significant reduction in redundant instructions: no more multiple
opcodes to move the one operand size.
- load, store, push, and pop share unified addressing mode encoding
(with the exception of mode 0 for load as that is redundant with mode
0 for store, thus load mode 0 gives quick access to entity.field).
- Full support for both 32 and 64 bit signed integer, unsigned integer,
and floating point values.
- SIMD for 1, 2, (currently) 3, and 4 components. Transfers support up
to 128-bit wide operations (need two operations to transfer a full
4-component double/long vector), but all math operations support both
128-bit (32-bit components) and 256-bit (64-bit components) vectors.
- "Interpreted" operations for the various vector sizes: complex dot
and multiplication, 3d vector dot and cross product, quaternion dot
and multiplication, along with qv and vq shortcuts.
- 4-component swizzles for both sizes (not yet implemented, but the
instructions are allocated), with the option to zero or negate (thus
conjugates for complex and quaternion values) individual components.
- "Based offsets": all relevant instructions include base register
indices for all three operands allowing for direct access to any of
four areas (eg, current entity, current stack frame, Objective-QC
self, ...) instructions to set a register and push/pop the four
registers to/from the stack.
Remaining work:
- Implement swizzle operations and a few other stragglers.
= Make a decision about conversion operations (if any instructions
remain, they'll be just single-component (at 14 meaningful pairs,
that's a lot of instructions to waste on SIMD versions).
- Decide whether to keep CALL1-CALL8: probably little point in
supporting two different calling conventions, and it would free up
another eight instructions.
- Unit tests for the instructions.
- Teach qfcc to generate code for the new instruction set (hah, biggest
job, I'm sure, though hopefully not as crazy as the rewrite eleven
years ago).
I wish I'd done it this way years ago (but maybe gcc 2.95 couldn't hack
the casts, I do know there were aliasing problems in the past). Anyway,
this makes operand access much more consistent for variable sized
operands (eg float vs double vs vec4), and is a big part of the new
instruction set implementation.
There is no reasonable way (due to hardware-enforced alignment issues)
to simply convert old bytecode to new (probably best done with an
off-line tool, preferably just recompiling when I get qfcc up to the
job), so both loops will need to be present. This just moves the
original loop into its own function in order to make it easy to bring in
the new (and iron out integration issues).
The opcode table is a nightmare to maintain, but this does clean it up
and speed up opcode lookups since they can now be indexed. Of course, it
turns out I had missed adding several instructions, so had to fix that,
and qfcc needed a bit of a re-jigger to get the opcode out of the table.
The switch from using pr_functions (dfunction_t) to function_table
(bfunction_t) for keeping track of the current function (and thus
profiling data) broke PR_Profile as it never saw anything but 0.
Even NUM_FOR_BAD_EDICT will have a bad day if the edict pointer is
invalid, so make sure that the entity pointer is valid (within the edict
area AND a multiple of edict size).
PR_LoadDebug now does only the initial version and crc checks, and the
byte-swapping of the loaded symbols file. PR_DebugSetSym sets up all the
pointers.
For now, the functions check for a null hunk pointer and use the global
hunk (initialized via Memory_Init) if necessary. However, Hunk_Init is
available (and used by Memory_Init) to create a hunk from any arbitrary
memory block. So long as that block is 64-byte aligned, allocations
within the hunk will remain 64-byte aligned.
Fixes#12
However, this is a bit of a band-aid in that the code for global defs
seems redundant (there is very similar code a little above that is
always executed) and the code for field defs should probably be executed
unconditionally: I suspect the problem fixed by
d5454faeb7 still shows with game coded
compiled with recent versions of the compiler, I just haven't tested
any.
Support for finding the first address associated with a source line was
added to the engine, returning 0 if not found.
A temporary breakpoint is set and the progs allowed to run free.
However, better handling of temporary breakpoitns is needed as currently
a "permanent" breakpoint will be cleared without clearing the temporary
breakpoing if the permanent breakpoing is hit while execut-to-cursor is
running.
Legacy progs do not have the extended defs data (and usually won't have
anything more complicated than a vector), so use the basic type size for
the def size. Fixes broken edict prints.
The merge with the improvements I made while hacking on csqc (still
undecided as to whether to continue that project) resulted in the size
of the progs string area getting mangled when no heap was allocated for
the progs due to a null zone pointer being used in some pointer
arithmetic. Fixes random(!!!) invalid string error in qfprogs.
While this caused some trouble for pr_strings and configurable strftime
(evil hacks abound), it's the result of discovering an ancient (from
maybe as early as 2004, definitely before 2012) bug in qwaq's printing
that somehow got past months of trial-by-fire testing (origin understood
thanks to the warning finding it).
