- Rewrite the `is_immediate` methods in $ARCH/selection.ml in the style of
other selection methods: operations that need platform-dependent handling
are explicitly listed, all others fall through `super#is_immediate`.
- The `is_immediate` method from selectgen.ml knows how to handle shifts
(and no other operation). Remove the `select_shift_op` method,
now unnecessary.
- ARM: remove special cases for multiply and multiply-high, no longer
necessary.
- RISC-V: in emit.mlp, remove implementation of checkbound immediate,
which is no longer generated.
This commit simplifies a few integer constants that were obfuscated so
as to pass compilation on a 32-bit host, as "make check_all_arches"
would do if ran on a 32-bit host. However, "make check_all_arches"
does not run on 32-bit hosts, unlike what is claimed in comments.
More generally, 32-bit hosts are no longer used for developing OCaml and
will not be used for cross-compilation. So, let's not complicate the
back-ends unnecessarily.
Replace the a single `is_immediate n` method that is supposed to apply
to all arithmetic instructions by two methods:
`is_immediate op n` : tests whether `n` is in the range of supported
immediate arguments for integer operation `op`
`is_immediate_test cmp n` : tests whether `n` is in the range of supported
immediate arguments for integer comparison `cmp`
This makes it easier to handle operations without immediate operands
(e.g. multiply or multiply-high on many platforms) and operations with
specific ranges of immediate operands (e.g. N-bit unsigned versus
N-bit signed). Before, these operations had to be treated as special
cases in the platform-specific `select_operation` method.
Introduce the type Cmm.exttype to precisely describe arguments to
external C functions, especially unboxed numerical arguments.
Annotate Cmm.Cextcall with the types of the arguments (Cmm.exttype list).
An empty list means "all arguments have default type XInt".
Annotate Mach.Iextcall with the type of the result (Cmm.machtype)
and the types of the arguments (Cmm.exttype list).
Change (slightly) the API for describing calling conventions in Proc:
- loc_external_arguments now takes a Cmm.exttype list,
in order to know more precisely the types of the arguments.
- loc_arguments, loc_parameters, loc_results, loc_external_results
now take a Cmm.machype instead of an array of pseudoregisters.
(Only the types of the pseudoregisters mattered anyway.)
Update the implementations of module Proc accordingly, in every port.
Introduce a new overridable method in Selectgen, insert_move_extcall_arg,
to produce the code that moves an argument of an external C function
to the locations returned by Proc.loc_external_arguments.
Revise the selection of external calls accordingly
(method emit_extcall_args in Selectgen).
Since #9316 was merged, Cconst_pointer is compiled in exactly the same way as Cconst_int. This commit removes the now-redundant Cconst_pointer and Cconst_natpointer.
Following on from GPR#851 and GPR#873, this pull request further enhances debugging information in Cmm terms. This was driven both by manually examining the debugger's behaviour and also by a report received from a user regarding substandard DWARF location information.
A change on trunk in cmmgen was causing problems: the use of array_indexing
in bigarray_indexing was constructing derived pointers of Addr type
instead of the correct Int type. (Because bigarray inner pointers
are outside the heap, and because they are live across allocations.)
Added an optional argument to array_indexing to specify expected
pointer type, and adapted bigarray_indexing to use it with type Int.

- Register type "Addr" is split into
. "Val" (well-formed OCaml values, appropriate as GC roots)
. "Addr" (derived pointers within the heap, must not survive a GC)
- memory_chunk "Word" is split into
. "Word_val" (OCaml value)
. "Word_int" (native-sized integer, not a pointer into the heap)
Cmmgen was updated to use Word_val or Word_int as appropriate.
Application #1: fail at compile-time if a derived pointer within the heap
survives a GC point (cf. PR#6484).
Application #2: CSE can do a better job across allocation points
(keep factoring expressions of type Int, Val, Float, but not Addr).

(Reuses results of previous computations instead of recomputing them.)
(Cherry-picked from branch backend-optim.)
Tested on amd64/linux and i386/linux.
Other back-ends compile (after assorted updates) but are untested.

This way we can avoid having to duplicate the same functionality for
every backend, and we may also benefit from other optimizations performed
during C-- generation.

The rational behind this change is that for the ARM instruction sets, the
valid range for address offsets depends on the type of data being loaded
or stored.
