LLVM 9 drops the `TerminatorInst` class. This commit replaces it with
`Instruction` where possible and asserts
`Instruction::isTerminator()`. It also switches from
`TerminatorInst::successors` to `successors(TerminatorInst *)`.
Any stack pointer value greater than or equal to the original one used
to be OK for stack analysis to recognize an instruction as a
return. This commit changes this policy by collecting the value of the
stack pointer on all the return points and, at the end, elect a final
stack pointer value. All non-compliant returns are marked a
`BranchType::BrokenReturn`. The function is now considered fake only if
all the return instructions agree on a specific value of the stack
pointer, and it's lower than the original one.
* Drop `BranchType::IndirectTail`.
* `s/BranchType::FunctionSummary/BranchType::RegularFunction/`.
In the stack analysis, we used to consider helper functions as indirect
calls. However, the `CPUStateAccessAnalysis` provides us accurate
information about what an helper function does.
This commit transforms calls to helper functions in a series of ABI IR
instructions reading all the input registers of the helper functions and
a series of instructions writing the output registers.
Note that, while this is a serious improvement over considering them
indirect function calls, it's still suboptimal since
`CPUStateAccessAnalysis` doesn't provide us information as fine-grained
as the ABI analysis.
We used to save the type of a block in the `revng.block.type` metadata
as a number. This commit serializes it as a string.
In order to do this, the `BlockType` enum has been promoted to a
namespace with the usual `getName` and `fromName` functions.
In the intraprocedural analysis of the stack analysis we implemented the
transfer function of the `Trunc` instruction as the identity function
(just as `PtrToInt` or `ZExt`). However this is not safe since `Trunc`
loses information. This lead to incorrect results in the ABI analysis.
All the definitions of `greaterThan` were `!lowerThanOrEqual`, and all
the uses were implicitly assuming this semantic.
However, this was confusing because in a Lattice the ordering is not
total, hence `!lowerThanOrEqual` is not equivalent to `greaterThan`.
This commit drops the `greaterThan` method altogether to avoid
confusion.
The stack analysis identifies CSV as `CPU+x` where `x` is an index that
uniquely identifies a CSV. We used to compute this index multiple times,
going through the list of global variables.
After we switched from metadata to global variables for strings
representing disassembled instructions, such process became very slow to
the point of being a bottleneck due to the large amount of global
variables.
This commit precomputes, once and for all, the unique identifier of each
CSV and saves it in a `std::set`.
This commit introduces `revng_log`, a macro analagous to `revng_assert`,
which basically allows to have the benefit of the `Logger` class without
having to compute the expression to log if the logger is disabled.
This commit also completely dismisses the `DBG` macro, converting all
the old code to `Logger` + `revng_log`.
This commit moves around most files. The new directory structure is as
follows:
* `lib/$LIBRARY/`: contains a library, i.e., a set of `.cpp` files used
by multiple libraries/tools.
* `include/revng/$LIBRARY/`: contains the public headers associated to
the library in `lib/$LIBRARY/`.
* `tools/$TOOL/`: directory where all the `.cpp` files (and private
headers) for a tool reside. Currently we have two tools: `revamb` and
`revamb-dump`.
On top of this, all file names are now in camel case.
