InstCombine was disabled in favor of some more basic constant
propagation, but it turns that under certain circumstances this leads to
direct branches appearing as indirect branches until we run InstCombine
during finalization, which triggers an assertion, since we do not expect
any direct jump there.
If this, affects translation performance, we can think to run it less
often.
This change introduces some duplication but ensures an important
property of `tuple_tree_generate`d: data structures: all the leaves are
scalars. Previously, yield::Function was using efa::BasicBlock, making
things more difficult under certain conditions.
Specifically, we can rely on the fact that, when generating a visit to
the TupleTree, we know everything about all non-scalars.
The index of an element of a `SortedVector<yield::Tag>` was saved, but
`SortedVector` behaves like a set.
The issue has been fixed by creating a temporary `Tag` instead of trying
to keep a reference to an existing one.
This commit introduces a `Kind` for arguments described in
`FunctionType::Layout`. We nowe basically have three types of arguments:
* Scalar: a regular scarlar argument;
* ReferenceToAggregate: a reference to an aggregete argument on the
stack;
* ShadowPointerToAggregateReturnValue: a pointer to the storage for the
(aggregate) return value allocated by the caller;
This commit completes the support of various rare PrimitiveTypes, that
has been added opportunistically over time and has remained inconsistent
across the codebase:
- float80_t
- float96_t
- generic80_t
- generic96_t
The first two are necessary because on some platforms long double is
either 10 or 12 bytes wide.
The second two are necessary because the Generic PrimitiveType should
allow all non-zero byte sizes allowed by any other PrimitiveType.
The architecture-specific pointer (generic register) size is used
instead.
For all the ABIs we support the value of this parameter was already
set to its pointer size. We might need to reintroduce the parameter
in the future if we want to support a super-exotic ABI with different
stack alignment requirements, but that seems highly unlikely.
This also introduces the argument extension helper for one stop all
treating small arguments when they are put into a register or pushed
into the stack.
FunctionMetadata was being deserialized every time they were
inspected. This commit introduces a cache structure to prevent this
excessive deserializations.
