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).
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.
They take a pointer to a free-list used for hashlinks so the hashlink
pools can be per-thread. However, hash tables that are not updated are
always thread-safe, so this affects only updates. progs_t has been set
up such that it is easy for multiple progs within one thread can share
hashlinks.
The memset instructions now match the move* instructions other than the
first operand (always int). Probably breaks much, but fixed in next few
commits.
Only as scalars, I still need to think about what to do for vectors and
quaternions due to param size issues. Also, doubles are not yet
guaranteed to be correctly aligned.
Aliasing the jump table to an integer broke statement_get_targetlist with
the new alias def handling, and was really wrong anyway. I probably did
that due to being fed up with things and wanting to get qfcc working again
rather than spending time getting jumpb right.
Using "=" was rather confusing, so changing it to "<CONV>" seems to be a
good idea. As the string is used only for selecting opcodes at compile
time, only qfcc is affected.
