Integrate results of ABIAnalyses in EarlyFunctionAnalysis
and refine such results by suppressing stack pointer
and callee-saved registers from the analyses.
Architecture-agnostic and ABI-independent data-flow analyses that
traverse the recovered functions in order to detect arguments and
return values registers.
An architecture-agnostic analysis that attempts to detect
boundaries of functions, recover the control-flow graph as
well as function prototypes (arguments and return values)
of the original program. The analysis determines whether
the function jumps to its return address (namely, it is a
regular function), it tracks the evolution of the stack
by determining its height (in order to say if the stack is
left in a correct position upon stackframe destruction),
and it identifies callee-saved registers.
A pass which segregates direct stack accesses from all other
memory accesses through appropriate alias information metadata.
By doing so, we provide a way to say that stack accesses reasonably
do not interfere with any other memory access. This pass also tries
to canonicalize `inttoptr` + `add` instructions into `getelementptr`s
so as to avoid the use of `inttoptr`, which would otherwise inhibit
compiler optimizations.
* Rename from compare-json.py to compare-yaml
* Handle YAML
* Support certain characteristics of the model
* Use subgraph matching to perform comparisons
* Introduce some testing
* Drop Python 2 support
* Reformat
These functions can be used in conjunction to dump the Model on a
file during a gdb session, for example:
```
(gdb) p writeToFile(Model->toString(), "/tmp/model.yaml")
```
Without this attribute, newer versions of llvm are not able to
remove calls to `ReadOnly` functions whose return value is unused.
This is instead the expected behavior for the functions that are
generated by `revng` with the `ReadOnly` attribute.
ConcreteTupleTreeKeyWrapper::clone() should cleanup the Target object
befor cloning, otherwise the destructor of the inner Pointer object
is never called.
Before this commit, SerializeModelPass and SerializeModelWrapperPass had
hard dependencies on the passes that load the model from LLVM-IR.
This commit makes this dependency optional. When the passes for model
serialization are executed, if they see that nobody requested to load
the model, they will not try to serialize it.
This prevents them from crashing when running in pipelines that only
contain passes that ignore the model.
This is particularly beneficial because `revng opt` automatically adds
`-serialize-model` at the end of each pipeline and, before this commit,
this meant that `revng opt` could not be used for unit-testing simple
llvm passes that do not use the model.
With this commit, `revng opt` can be used for unit-tests, even on LLVM IR
with missing model.
* Drop outdated portion describing ABI/CFG metadata that are now stored
in the model.
* Introduce MetaAddress concept.
* Describe the four-parts program counter CSVs.
* Update description of the dispatcher.
* Update description of `function_call` and `newpc`.
