The control-flow graph and all its hierarchy components
have been moved from `model` to `efa`. The CFG is now
serialized onto the LLVM IR module as a metadata.
Model classes are now described by a YAML document, which is used to
generate C++ headers containing classes and all the boilerplate
required for YAML serialization/deserialization, usage in
SortedVectors, etc. See the README in include/revng/Model for more
info.
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")
```
* Introduce some documentation for the model.
* Improve the way enums are serialized/deserialized.
* Mark certain fields of model data structures as optional.
* introduces some error messages during model validation.
This commit introduces the type system of the model along with several
various other improvements to the model and its users.
* Introduce the type system.
* Introduce possibility to tag certain fields in the model as to be
optional during YAML serialization.
* All the `Name` fields have been replaced in favor of `CustomName` plus
a `name` method that will use `CustomName` if available, or an
automatically generated name otherwise.
* Make TupleTreeReferences behavior more robust: now you either need to
have a valid pointer to `Root` and a `Path` or be default constructed
(`nullptr` for `Root` and an empty `Path`). Any other configuration is
invalid.
* The type system introduces `RawFunctionType`: this superseds the
previous way in which we were specifying arguments and return
values. Users of such information have been updated accordingly.
This commit drops the KeyTraits in favor of a std::any-like solution.
Basically, we type erase any key the user wants to employ, just exposing
a virtual version of the destructor, a comparison operator and a clone
primitive.
This commit ensures that FunctionIsolation and EnforceABI do only
thing. This means that they no longer modify `root`.
Instead, we have a new pass, `invoke-isolated-functions` that needs to
be run after them and replaces the entry point of the functions with
invokes to the isolated functions, possibly with the appropriate
arguments.
We used to mark call to noreturn functions as killers, but this is not
correct.
Note that this is a temporary solution, we need to explicitly handle
such situations.
This commit:
* Drops `KeyTraits::toString`: if needed, use `getNameFromYAMLScalar`.
* Makes many methods in TupleTree.h return `nullptr` or `std::optional`
in order to gracefully handle failures.
* Provides `KeyTraits` specializations for integral types and tuple-like
composed by types providing `KeyTraits`.
* Introduces `CompositeScalar`, which enables tuple-like objects to be
YAML-serializable scalars by joining the YAML-serialization of its
members through a customziable character.
* Implements `PathMatcher`, a very simple "regular expression" mechanism
for paths on tuple trees.
* Introduce testing for the Model.
