This commit drops libptc in favor of its new form libtcg.
It brings several improvements, among which:
* The QEMU version we work on has been upgraded.
* CPUStateAccessAnalysis has been reimplemented in a way that makes it
easier to debug and solves some limitations (e.g., tracking leaking
pointers).
* Identification of pieces of the CPU state that are read by each helper
and fixing access to the CPU state is now performed at build-time.
* We no longer mmap the code we need to translate, dropping all the
issues related to code that needed to be mapped where something is
already present.
* We now have two distinct flavors of helper modules: the full one and
the "slim" one. The latter contains the definition only of functions
we intend to inline. It is used in most of the pipeline, a good thing
since we spend less time optimizing code we don't really care about.
The full module is only used on the re-compilation branch of the
pipeline.
* We no longer split the `cpu_loop` function.
* We change MetaAddress to rely on architectures from `model::` as
opposed to the LLVM ones.
* We no longer attach debug info to LLVM IR containing the original
assembly.
* We now verify that the lifted code only contains code we expect.
Replace the stub implementation of invalidation with the proper
implementation. A ReadPathCache is added to each global so that it can
keep tracks of what target are associated to which read paths.
This commit switches `model::Type::ID` from being a GUID to be a
progressive number, in order to make things easier for humans.
On top of this, this commit introduces the following changes:
* TypeCopier: import all the necessary PrimitiveTypes and improve
handling of CustomName.
* Move Kind as the last field of the key of each TupleTree type used in
an `UpcastablePointer`.
* Update the ground truth of tests to ignore the `CustomName` in favor
of focusing on `OriginalName`.
* Increase adoption of `model::Binary::makeType`, equivalent to
`Binary.recordNewType(makeType<model::*Type>())`.
`DocumentError`s are the inteded way of propagating errors from the
pipeline to the frontend when a location is required to inform the user
of the error whereabouts.
The copy of a TupleTree is potentially very expensive, so it was
disabled until now and only allowed via the explict method clone().
We have now decided to make TupleTree copiable.
This commit adds a copy-constructor and a copy-assignment, killing the
clone() method that was already unused and is now effectively useless.
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.
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:
* 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.
