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.
FunctionIsolation used to expect the model to adhere too much to what
is on the IR. We relax some assumptions, particularly: 1) if there is
a leftover direct boundary, `IndirectBoundary` is set to it regardless;
2) in `handleDirectBoundary`, the actual successors of a block should
include all those in the model, however, we permit extra successors,
if they exist.
1. Hoist the logic to retrieve a model CallEdge from an llvm::CallInst
out of `getCallSitePrototype()`, in a separate `getCallEdge()`
function.
2. Modify `getCallSitePrototype()` so that the parent function's type is
optional.
This commit imports all the revng pipes (and other support utilities) to
be used with `revng-pipeline`. In particular, the pipes necessary for
binary translations have been introduced.
The goal of `OriginalName` is to keep track of the original name of a
symbol upon import.
In future, this will also be used to promote it to `CustomName`.
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.
* 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.
With llvm-12 thera are more stringent requirement on the propagation of
DebugLoc on CallInst and InvokeInst.
Various CallInst and InvokeInst created during lifting did not fulfill
these requirements, causing the Module to not verify() with llvm-12.
This commit fixes the problem, properly propagating the debug locations.
FunctionTags goal is to solve the long-standing problem of identifying
what type of function are we dealing with. Is it a lifted function? An
helper?
Now we have a sane way to determine this using Metadata and a proper
API.
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.
Changes include:
- `getFunctionCall` has been moved in IRHelpers.h
- `getFallthrough` and `getFunctionCallCallee`
have been simplified and added in IRHelpers.h (their old versions
have been removed respectively from FCI.h and revng.h)
- `FCI::getCall` and `FCI::isCall` have been removed
due to redundancy with `getFunctionCall`.
This commit drops the `--isolate-no-safety-checks` flags since we
adopted a new approach later on in the decompilation pipeline, i.e.,
dropping calls to `raise_exception_helper` and running dead code
elimination.
FunctionIsolation used to base its work on calls to the marker function
`function_call`, as opposed to information provided by the StackAnalysis
(i.e., `revng.member.type` along with `func.call`).
This also affected EnforceABI, which took care of finishing the work
left over by FunctionIsolation. This was hackish and inelegant.
This commit makes FunctionIsolation work exclusively employing
information from StackAnalysis and purges away code that is no longer
necessary from EnforceABI.
When the `--enforce-no-safety-checks` flag is passed during the
enforcing, we avoid emitting the inlined `function_dispatcher` and we
emit instead a call to an `indirect_handle` disposable call created on
the fly to respect the ABI information on the callsite.
