Elf2: more progress
|
|
A new `Legalize.Feature` tag is introduced for each float bit width
(16/32/64/80/128). When e.g. `soft_f16` is enabled, all arithmetic and
comparison operations on `f16` are converted to calls to the appropriate
compiler_rt function using the new AIR tag `.legalize_compiler_rt_call`.
This includes casts where the source *or* target type is `f16`, or
integer<=>float conversions to or from `f16`. Occasionally, operations
are legalized to blocks because there is extra code required; for
instance, legalizing `@floatFromInt` where the integer type is larger
than 64 bits requires calling an arbitrary-width integer conversion
function which accepts a pointer to the integer, so we need to use
`alloc` to create such a pointer, and store the integer there (after
possibly zero-extending or sign-extending it).
No backend currently uses these new legalizations (and as such, no
backend currently needs to implement `.legalize_compiler_rt_call`).
However, for testing purposes, I tried modifying the self-hosted x86_64
backend to enable all of the soft-float features (and implement the AIR
instruction). This modified backend was able to pass all of the behavior
tests (except for one `@mod` test where the LLVM backend has a bug
resulting in incorrect compiler-rt behavior!), including the tests
specific to the self-hosted x86_64 backend.
`f16` and `f80` legalizations are likely of particular interest to
backend developers, because most architectures do not have instructions
to operate on these types. However, enabling *all* of these legalization
passes can be useful when developing a new backend to hit the ground
running and pass a good amount of tests more easily.

I had tried unrolling the loops to avoid requiring the
`vector_store_elem` instruction, but it's arguably a problem to generate
O(N) code for an operation on `@Vector(N, T)`. In addition, that
lowering emitted a lot of `.aggregate_init` instructions, which is
itself a quite difficult operation to codegen.
This requires reintroducing runtime vector indexing internally. However,
I've put it in a couple of instructions which are intended only for use
by `Air.Legalize`, named `legalize_vec_elem_val` (like `array_elem_val`,
but for indexing a vector with a runtime-known index) and
`legalize_vec_store_elem` (like the old `vector_store_elem`
instruction). These are explicitly documented as *not* being emitted by
Sema, so need only be implemented by backends if they actually use an
`Air.Legalize.Feature` which emits them (otherwise they can be marked as
`unreachable`).

I started this diff trying to remove a little dead code from the C
backend, but ended up finding a bunch of dead code sprinkled all over
the place:
* `packed` handling in the C backend which was made dead by `Legalize`
* Representation of pointers to runtime-known vector indices
* Handling for the `vector_store_elem` AIR instruction (now removed)
* Old tuple handling from when they used the InternPool repr of structs
* Straightforward unused functions
* TODOs in the LLVM backend for features which Zig just does not support

`std.Io.tty.Config.detect` may be an expensive check (e.g. involving
syscalls), and doing it every time we need to print isn't really
necessary; under normal usage, we can compute the value once and cache
it for the whole program's execution. Since anyone outputting to stderr
may reasonably want this information (in fact they are very likely to),
it makes sense to cache it and return it from `lockStderrWriter`. Call
sites who do not need it will experience no significant overhead, and
can just ignore the TTY config with a `const w, _` destructure.

This iteration already has significantly better incremental support.

this backend was abandoned before it was completed, and it is not worth
salvaging.
