The change to "assignment not used" breaks symmetry with
"used and not set" and removes the reference to the
specific warning mentioned in /sys/doc/comp.ms.
Also, the patch was half-assed as that it left some typos
in like "used an not set", which this change also fixed.
The expression value of the assignment operation was
returned implicitely by relying on regalloc() on the
right hand side "nod" borrowing the register from nn.
But this only works if nn is a register.
In case of 6c, it can also be a ONAME from a .safe
rathole returned by regsalloc().
This change adds explicit gmove() calls to assign the
expression value. Note that gmove() checks if source
and destination are the same register so it wont emit
redundant move operations in the common case.
The same is applied also to OPREINC and OPOSTINC operations.
C99 integer constants with no type suffix promote differently
depending on the way that they're written: hex and oct consts
promote as int => uint => long => ulong => vlong => uvlong.
Decimal constants are always signed.
We used to promote all values to uint on overflow, and never
went wider. This change fixes that, and adds a warning when
a decimal constant that would have been promoted to uint in
the past gets promoted to int.
for gethunk() to work, all allocators have to use it,
including allocations done by libc thru malloc(),
so the fake allocation functions are mandatory for
everyone.
to avoid duplication the code is moved to cc/compat
and prototypes provided in new cc/compat.h header.
when a operation receives a chain of OINDEX nodes as its operands,
each indexing step used to allocate a new index register. this
is wastefull an can result in running out of fixed registers on 386
for code such as: x = a[a[a[a[i]]]].
instead we attempt to reuse the destination register of the operation
as the index register if it is not otherwise referenced. this results
in the index chain to use a single register for index and result and
leaves registers free to be used for something usefull instead.
for 6c, try to avoid R13 as well as BP index base register.
implicit casts would cause spurious "result of operation not used"
warnings such as ape's stdio putc() macro.
make (void) casts non-ops when the casted expression has no
side effects. this avoid spurious warning with ape's assert()
macro.
sugen() calls cgen64() speculatively so that when cgen64() returns
zero, it will fall back and compile 64-bit copy.
the bug was that cgen64() compiled the left hand side and then recursively
called cgen64() again, which didnt handle the memory copy so it returned
zero and sugen() would compile the left hand side again resulting in two
function calls being emited.
some code that reproduced the issue:
#include <u.h>
#include <libc.h>
typedef struct
{
char x[10];
vlong a;
} X;
X a;
X *f(void) { return &a; }
void
main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
f()->a = a.a;
}
producing:
TEXT f+0(SB),0,$0
MOVL $a+0(SB),AX
RET ,
RET ,
TEXT main+0(SB),0,$0
CALL ,f+0(SB)
CALL ,f+0(SB) <- bug
MOVL AX,CX
LEAL a+12(SB),DX
MOVL (DX),AX
MOVL AX,12(CX)
MOVL 4(DX),AX
MOVL AX,16(CX)
RET ,
GLOBL a+0(SB),$20
END ,
introduce rolor() function to subsitute (a << c) | (a >> (bits(a) - c))
with (a <<< c) where <<< is cyclic rotation and c is constant.
this almost doubles the speed of chacha encryption of 386 and amd64.
the peephole optimizer used to stop when it hit a shift or rol
instruction when attempting to eleminate moves by register
substitution. but we do not have to as long as the shift count
operand is not CX (which cannot be substituted) and CX is not
a subject for substitution.
- cover more cases that have no side effects
- ensure function has complex FNX
- pull operators out of OFUNC level
- rewrite OSTRUCT lhs to avoid all side-effects, use regalloc() instead of regret()
the shift instructions does not change the zero flag
when the shift count is 0, so we cannot remove the
compare instruction in this case.
this fixes oggdec under 386.
when the previous instruction sets the zero flag,
we can remove the CMPL/CMPQ instruction.
this removes compares for zero/non zero tests only.
it only looks at the previous non-nop instruction
to see if it sets our compare value register.
If 64-bit multiply has to save both AX and DX, it could load the wrong value
into DX; also, biggen shouldn't allocate either AX or DX as temporaries
when using the template for MUL.
