In the new pipeline the root module is split off in its individual
isolated modules at the end of `isolate`. Before splitting, there are a
lot of global variables in the root module and only a small part is
going to be needed after splitting for each module. To avoid excessive
memory usage employ `ConservativeModuleCloner` in `Isolate` so that
only the needed global variables are actually cloned when splitting off.
Move member declaration to the top of the class definition of
`GeneratedCodeBasicInfo` and initialize primitive members.
Merge the `run` method into the constructor since all uses have them
happening close to each other.
Add a mixin class for piperuns that work on an LLVM module and need
both the model function and the `llvm::Function`. Pipe that inherit this
mixin will receive both the model and LLVM function in the
`runOnLLVMFunction` method.
* Make the following private headers public:
* Lift/CPUStateAccessAnalysisPass.h
* Lift/CSVOffsets.h
* Lift/PTCDump.h
* Lift/VariableManager.h
* Move from revngSupport to revngLift:
* IRAnnotators.{h,cpp}
* SelfReferencingDbgAnnotationWriter.{h,cpp}
* Move from revngSupport to revngModel:
* FunctionTags.{h,cpp}
* ProgramCounterHandler.{h,cpp}
* Move from revngSupport to revngRecompile:
* OriginalAssemblyAnnotationWriter.{h,cpp}
Before this commit, we used to attach to call site a metadata to trace
back the call site to the CFG (i.e., `FunctionMetadata`).
This led several passes in revng-c to depend on `FunctionMetadata` just
for this.
This commit, attaches to call sites a reference to the prototype itself
(on the `revng.prototype` metadata), breaking many of such dependencies.
Before this commit, we were blinding adding the `nomerge` attribute to
function calls. Now we copy attributes over, so we preserve all the
attributes.
In this way the only place where we add the `nomerge` attribute becomes
Isolate.
This commit drops the `CallToLifted` tag in favor of a
`getCallToIsolatedFunction` function which checks if the call has the
`IsolatedFunction` tag. The function also assumes that indirect calls
are calls to lifted functions.
This commit introduces `BasicBlockID` as the unique identifier for a
`efa::BasicBlock` into the CFG. A `BasicBlockID` is defined by a
`MetaAddress` plus an incremental integer. This enables us to have
multiple instances of the same block in a single function, which is
particularly useful when inlining multiple times the same function.
Apart from this, the commit also does the following:
* It drops representing `MetaAddress`es a `structs` in the IR. This created
several issues related to ABI. We now represent them as strings.
* It defines more functions in `support.h`, instead of defining prototypes
by hand in `CodeGenerator.cpp` and the like. Specifically, `unknownPC`
and `raise_exception_helper`. We also introduce a C "constructor" for
`PlainMetaAddress`.
* It significantly reduces the API of `GeneratedCodeBasicInfo`, which
was supposed to be put on a diet since a long time. Specifically,
many jump target related methods have been moved to free functions in
`IRHelpers.h`. Also `GCBI::getSuccessors` has been pushed into its
only user, `PruneRetSuccessors`, to prevent further usage of a
deprecated API. In the future, it would be nice to drop it entirely.
* It introduces `efa::BasicBlock::InlinedFrom`.
* Introduce an enum to represent named argument indices for `newpc`.
This enables us to more effectively manipulate its argument list.
* It improves the verification and error reporting for
`efa::FunctionMetadata`.
* Update tests.
This commit is preliminary to another piece of work to improve the
generality of inlining beyond the simple "fake function" scenario, for
which the feature was originally conceived.
FunctionMetadata was being deserialized every time they were
inspected. This commit introduces a cache structure to prevent this
excessive deserializations.
