Previously, to enumerate all the CSVs we had to go through the
`GlobalVariable` of a `Module` and see if the were being used in
rev.ng-generated code.
Now we have a named metadata for that: `revng.csv`.
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.
This commit does the following:
* It drops `revamb-dump` and transforms all the passes it featured in
passes that can be used directly from `opt`.
* It rename `revamb` to `revng-lift`.
* It introduces a script called `revng` which acts as a driver for the
whole rev.ng project. It replaces `translate`, `revcc`,
`csv-to-ld-options` and `revamb-dump`, since it offers an `opt`
subcommand which allows to easily invoke all the analysis passes.
* It makes the project a CMake package that can be easily used
externally.
* It allows to easily create libraries of analysis to use through
`revng-opt`.
In function isolation, every time we met a jump to an unexpected basic
block (i.e., a basic block that is not part of the current function), we
used to throw an exception. However this is unnecessary since oftentimes
it is sufficient to call the `function_dispatcher` or even perform a
regular function call.
The most obvious example is the case of a direct tail call. In this
situation performing a function call to the corresponding isolated
function is the most appopriate thing to do.
`getType` didn't have a `BlockType` to represent the entry basic block
of the `root` function. Therefore, such basic block was erroneously
identified as a translated basic block.
Updating to LLVM 7 mainly involved the following steps:
* Upgrade APIs for folding ConstantExpr.
* Upgrade APIs for GraphTraits.
* Upgrade APIs for DominatorTreeBase.
* Upgrade APIs for BinaryFormat to parse ELFs.
* Fix the LLVM Linker to properly link the QEMU helpers.
* Disable the new optnone attribute even with optimization -O0. This is
necessary to allow SROA to do its job properly.
* Upgrade APIs to delete Instructions.
* Properly cleaning up orphaned metadata still referring to Instructions
that have been destroyed. Recent versions of LLVM are more strict in
this respect, and will assert when compiled in debug.
* Avoid using LLVM `getGlobalContext` which has been removed from newer
versions of LLVM.
* Upgrade tests to use the new APIs.
* Upgrade APIs for instruction iterators and reverse iterators.
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.
