Like defs, a partial write should not define the whole temp. Thus, copy
the "don't visit main" behavior recently added to def_visit_all. Fixes
missing ud-chains for component-by-component assignments to temporary
vectors.
Def and kill are still handled in flow_analyze_statement, but this makes
call meta data more consistent between v6 and ruamoko progs, allowing
the statement use chain to be used for call argument analysis. It even
found a bug in the extraction of param counts from the call instruction.
That is, `array + offset`. This actually works around the bug
highlighted by arraylife.r (because the array is explicitly used), but
is not a proper solution, so that test still fails of course. However,
with this, it's no longer necessary to use `&array[index]` instead of
`array + index`.
While the option to make '*' mean dot product for vectors is important,
it breaks vector scaling in ruamoko progs as the resultant vector op
becomes a dot product instead of the indented hadamard product (ie,
component-wise).
For now, anyway, as the generated code looks good. There might be
problems with actual pointer expressions, but it allows entity.field to
work as expected rather than generate an ICE.
While swizzle does work, it requires the source to be properly aligned
and thus is not really the best choice. The extend instruction has no
alignment requirements (at all) and thus is much better suited to
converting a scalar to a vector type.
Fixes#30
Most were pretty easy and fairly logical, but gib's regex was a bit of a
pain until I figured out the real problem was the conditional
assignments.
However, libs/gamecode/test/test-conv4 fails when optimizing due to gcc
using vcvttps2dq (which is nice, actually) for vector forms, but not the
single equivalent other times. I haven't decided what to do with the
test (I might abandon it as it does seem to be UD).
The destination operand must be a full four component vector, but the
source can be smaller and small sources do not need to be aligned: the
offset of the source operand and the swizzle indices are adjusted. The
adjustments are done during final statement emission in order to avoid
confusing the data flow analyser (and that's when def offsets are known).
While the code would handle int vector types, there aren't any such
instructions, and the expression code shouldn't generate them, but all
float (32 and 64 bit) vector types do have a dot product instruction, so
check width rather than just vector/quaternion.
Having three very similar sets of code for outputting values (just for
debug purposes even) got to be a tad annoying. Now there's only one, and
in the right place, too (with the other value code).
Use with quaternions and vectors is a little broken in that
vec4/quaternion and vec3/vector are not the same types (by design) and
thus a cast is needed (not what I want, though). However, creating
vectors (that happen to be int due to int constants) does seem to be
working nicely otherwise.
When the def can be found. This fixes direct assignments to arrays (and
probably structs) getting lost when the array is later read using a
variable index.
This is achieved by marking a void function with the void_return
attribute and then calling that function in an @return expression.
@return can be used only inside a void function and only with void
functions marked with the void_return attribute. As this is intended for
Objective-QC message forwarding, it is deliberately "difficult" to use
as returning a larger than expected value is unlikely to end well for
the calling function.
However, as a convenience, "@return nil" is allowed (in a void
function). It always returns an integer (which, of course,can be
interpreted as a pointer). This is safe because if the return value is
ignored, it will go into the progs return buffer, and if it is not
ignored, it is the smallest value that can be returned.
When possible, of course. However, this tightens up struct and constant
index array accesses, and avoids issues with flow analysis losing track
of the def (such trucking is something I want to do, but haven't decided
out to get the information out to the right statements).
The FIXME was there because I couldn't remember why the test was
type_compatible but the internal error complains about the types being
the same size. The compatibility check is to see if the op can be used
directly or whether a temp is required. The offset check is because
types that are the same size (which they must be if they are
compatible) is because it is not possible to create an offset alias def
that escapes the bounds of the real def, which any non-zero offset will
do if the types are the same size.
This makes it much easier to check (and more robust to name changes),
allowing for effectively killing the node to which the variable being
addressed is attached. This fixes the incorrect address being used for
va_list, which is what caused double-alias to fail.
I really need to come up with a better way to get the result type into
the flow analyser. However, this fixes the aliasing ICE when optimizing
Ruamoko code that uses struct assignment.
With explicit operators, even. While they're a tad verbose, they're at
least unambiguous and most importantly have the right precedence (or at
least adjustable precedence if I got it wrong, but vector ops having
high precedence than scalar or component seems reasonable to me).
Since Ruamoko progs must use lea to get the address of a local variable,
add use/def/kill references to the move instruction in order to inform
flow analysis of the variable since it is otherwise lost via the
resulting pointer (not an issue when direct var reference move can be
used).
The test and digging for the def can probably do with being more
aggressive, but this did nicely as a proof of concept.
It now addressing_mode cleaning up store instructions to use ptr+offset
instead of lea;store ptr...
Entity.field addressing has been impelmented as well.
Move instructions still generate sub-optimal code in that they use an
add instruction instead of lea.
This allows the code handling simple pointer dereferences to recurse
along an alias chain that resulted from casting between different
pointer types (such chains could probably be eliminated by replacing the
type in the original pointer expression, but it wasn't worth it at this
stage).
This is what using new_ret_expr would result in, but new_ret_expr is no
longer used for referencing .return (except in pascal, but I haven't
gotten around to sorting that out) due to the recent changes for Ruamoko
progs. Fixes an ICE when compiling (with optimization) something like
the following (dir is a vector):
dir /= sqrt (dir * dir);
return dir * speed;
The goal was to get lea being used for locals in ruamoko progs because
lea takes the base registers into account while the constant pointer
defs used by v6p cannot. Pointer defs are still used for gobals as they
may be out of reach of 16-bit addressing.
address_expr() has been simplified in that it no longer takes an offset:
the vast majority of the callers never passed one, and the few that did
have been reworked to use other mechanisms. In particular,
offset_pointer_expr does the manipulations needed to add an offset
(unscaled by type size) to a pointer. High-level pointer offsets still
apply a scale, though.
Alias expressions now do a better job of hanling aliasing of aliases by
simply replacing the target type when possible.
The parameter defs are allocated from the parameter space using a
minimum alignment of 4, and varargs functions get a va_list struct in
place of the ...
An "args" expression is unconditionally injected into the call arguments
list at the place where ... is in the list, with arguments passed
through ... coming after the ...
Arguments get through to functions now, but there's problems with taking
the address of local variables: currently done using constant pointer
defs, which can't work for the base register addressing used in Ruamoko
progs.
With the update to test-bi's printf (and a hack to qfcc for lea),
triangle.r actually works, printing the expected results (but -1 instead
of 1 for equality, though that too is actually expected). qfcc will take
a bit longer because it seems there are some design issues in address
expressions (ambiguity, and a few other things) that have pretty much
always been there.
Still need to get the base register index into the instructions, but I
think this is it for basic code generation. I should be able to start
testing Ruamoko properly fairly soon :)
Thanks to the use/def/kill lists attached to statements for pseudo-ops,
it turned out to be a lot easier to implement flow analysis (and thus
dags processing) than I expected. I suspect I should go back and make
the old call code use them too, and probably several other places, as
that will greatly simplify the edge setting.
The means that the actual call expression is not in the statement lint
of the enclosing block expression, but just its result, whether the call
is void or not. This actually simplifies several things, but most
importantly will make Ruamoko calls easier to implement.
The test is because I had some trouble with double-calls, and is how I
found the return-postop issue :P
Since Ruamoko now uses the stack for parameters and locals, parameters
need to come after locals in the address space (instead of before, as in
v6 progs). Thus use separate spaces for parameters and locals regardless
of the target, then stitch them together appropriately for the target.
The third space is used for allocating stack space for arguments to
called functions. It us not used for v6 progs, and comes before locals
in Ruamoko progs.
Other than the return value, and optimization (ice, not implemented)
calls in Ruamoko look like they'll work.
Thanks to me having done something right 20 years ago, that was pretty
easy :). The two boolean types aren't supported yet because I haven't
decided on just how to represent their types in qfcc.
This seems to be the most reasonable approach to allocating space for
function call parameters without using push and pop (or adding to the
stack pointer), though it's probably good even when using push and pop
to help keep things aligned.
My little test program now builds with the Ruamoko ISA :)
void cp (int *dst, int *src, int count)
{
while (count--) {
*dst++ = *src++;
}
}
Calls are broken (unimplemented), and non-void returns are not likely to
work either (only partially implemented).
