Registers can now be marked as configuration registers, for example:
register configuration CFG_RVBAR = 0x1300000
They work like ordinary registers except they can only be set by
functions with the 'configuration' effect and have no effect when
read. They also have an initialiser, like a let-binding. Internally
there is a new reg_dec constructor DEC_config. They are intended to
represent configuration parameters for the model, which can change
between runs, but don't change during execution. Currently they'll
only work when compiled to C. Internally registers can now have custom
effects for reads and writes rather than just rreg and wreg, so the
type signatures of Env.add_register and Env.get_register have changed,
as well as the Register lvar, so in the type checker we now write:
Env.add_register id read_effect write_effect typ
rather than
Env.add_register id typ
For the corresponding change to ASL parser there's a function
is_config in asl_to_sail.ml which controls what becomes a
configuration register for ARM. Some things we have to keep as
let-bindings because Sail can't handle them changing at runtime -
e.g. the length of vectors in other top-level definitions. Luckily
__SetConfig doesn't (yet) try to change those options.
Together these changes allow us to translate the ASL __SetConfig
function, which means we should get command-line option compatibility
with ArchEx for running the ARM conformance tests.

1. Experiment with allowing some flow typing on mutable variables for
translating ASL in a more idiomatic way. I realise after updating some
of the test cases that this could have some problematic side effects
for lem translation, where mutable variables are translated into
monadic code. We'd need to ensure that whatever flow typing happens
for mutable variables also works for monadic code, including within
transformed loops. If this doesn't work out some of these changes may
need to be reverted.
2. Make the type inference for l-expressions a bit smarter. Splits the
type checking rules for l-expressions into a inference part and a
checking part like the other bi-directional rules. Should not be able
to type check slightly more l-expresions, such as nested vector slices
that may not have checked previously.
The l-expression rules for vector patterns should be simpler now, but
they are also more strict about bounds checking. Previously the bounds
checks were derived from the corresponding operations that would
appear on the RHS (i.e. LEXP_vector would get it's check from
vector_access). This meant that the l-expression bounds checks could
be weakend by weakening the checks on those operations. Now this is no
longer possible, there is a -no_lexp_bounds_check option which turns
of bounds checking in l-expressions. Currently this is on for the
generated ARM spec, but this should only be temporary.
3. Add a LEXP_vector_concat which mirrors P_vector_concat except in
l-expressions. Previously there was a hack that overloaded LEXP_tup
for this to translate some ASL patterns, but that was fairly
ugly. Adapt the rewriter and other parts of the code to handle
this. The rewriter for lexp tuple vector assignments is now a rewriter
for vector concat assignments.
4. Include a newly generated version of aarch64_no_vector
5. Update the Ocaml test suite to use builtins in lib/

Can now use C-style include declarations to include files within other sail files. This is done in such a way that all the location information is preserved in error messages. As an example:
$include "aarch64/prelude.sail"
$define SYM
$ifndef SYM
$include <../util.sail>
$endif
would include the file aarch64/prelude.sail relative to the file where the include is contained. It then defines a symbol SYM and includes another file if it is not defined. The <../util.sail> include will be accessed relative to $SAIL_DIR/lib, so $SAIL_DIR/lib/../util.sail in this case.
This can be used with the standard C trick of
$ifndef ONCE
$define ONCE
val f : unit -> unit
$endif
so no matter how many sail files include the above file, the valspec for f will only appear once.
Currently we just have $include, $define, $ifdef and $ifndef (with $else and $endif). We're using $ rather than # because # is already used in internal identifiers, although this could be switched.

For example:
bitfield cr : vector(8, dec, bit) = {
CR0 : 7 .. 4,
LT : 7,
CR1 : 3 .. 2,
CR2 : 1,
CR3 : 0,
}
The difference this creates a newtype wrapper around the vector type,
then generates getters and setters for all the fields once, rather
than having to handle this construct separately in every backend.

* Changed comment syntax to C-style /* */ and //
* References to registers and mutable variables are never created
implicitly - a reference to a register or variable R is now created
via the expression "ref R". References are assigned like "(*Y) = X",
with "(*ref R) = X" being equivalent to "R = X". Everything is always
explicit now, which simplifies the logic in the typechecker. There's
also now an invariant that every id directly in a LEXP is mutable,
which is actually required for our rewriter steps to be sound.
* More flexible syntax for L-expressions to better support wierd
power-idioms, some syntax sugar means that:
X.GET(a, b, c) ==> _mod_GET(X, a, b, c)
X->GET(a, b, c) ==> _mod_GET(ref X, a, b, c)
for setters, this can be combined with the (still somewhat poorly
named) LEXP_memory construct, such that:
X->SET(a, b, c) = Y ==> _mod_SET(ref X, a, b, c, Y)
Currently I use the _mod_ prefix for these 'modifier' functions, but
we could omit that a la rust.
* The register bits typedef construct no longer exists in the
typechecker. This construct never worked consistently between backends
and inc/dec vectors, and it can be easily replaced by structs with
fancy setters/getters if need be. One can also use custom type operators to mimic the syntax, i.e.
type operator ... ('n : Int) ('m : Int) = slice('n, 'm)
struct cr = {
CR0 : 32 ... 35,
/* 32 : LT; 33 : GT; 34 : EQ; 35 : SO; */
CR1 : 36 ... 39,
/* 36 : FX; 37 : FEX; 38 : VX; 39 : OX; */
CR2 : 40 ... 43,
CR3 : 44 ... 47,
CR4 : 48 ... 51,
CR5 : 52 ... 55,
CR6 : 56 ... 59,
CR7 : 60 ... 63,
}
This greatly simplifies a lot of the logic in the typechecker, as it
means that E_field is no longer ambiguously overloaded between records
and register bit typedefs. This also makes writing semantics for these
constructs much simpler.

Menhir pretty printer can now print enough sail to be useful with ASL parser
Fixity declarations are now preserved in the AST
Menhir parser now runs without the Pre-lexer
Ocaml backend now supports variant typedefs, as the machinery to
generate arbitrary instances of variant types has been added to the
-undefined_gen flag
|
|
The code for these is now rather ugly though... it needs to be cleaned up at some point
Also various improvements to new menhir parser

to translate exceptions in ASL. See test/typecheck/pass/trycatch.sail.

For example:
default Order dec
val bit[64] -> unit effect pure test64
val cast forall 'n, 'n = 32 | 'n = 64. bit['n] -> unit effect pure test
function forall 'n. unit test addr =
{
_prove(constraint('n != 16));
assert(constraint('n = 64), "64-bit mode");
_prove(constraint('n = 64));
test64(addr);
}
This doesn't affect the AST at all as _prove is just a ordinary function
that the typechecker treats specially.

1) Added a new construct to the expression level: constraint. This is the
essentially the boolean form of sizeof. Whereas sizeof takes a nexp
and has type [:'n:], constraint takes a n_constraint and returns a
boolean. The hope is this will allow for flow typing to be represented
more explicitly in the generatated sail from ASL.
For example we could have something like:
default Order dec
val bit[64] -> unit effect pure test64
val forall 'n, ('n = 32 | 'n = 64 | 'n = 10) & 'n != 43. bit['n] -> unit effect pure test
function forall 'n. unit test addr =
{
if constraint('n = 32) then {
()
} else {
assert(constraint('n = 64), "64-bit mode");
test64(addr)
}
}
2) The other thing this example demonstrates is that flow constraints
now work with assert and not just if. Even though flow typing will
only guarantee us that 'n != 32 in the else branch, the assert gives
us 'n = 64. This is very useful as it's a common idiom in the ARM
spec to guarantee such things with an assert.
3) Added != to the n_constraint language
4) Changed the n_constraint language to add or and and as constructs
in constraints. Previously one could have a list of conjuncts each of
which were simple inequalites or set constraints, now one can do for
example:
val forall 'n, ('n = 32 | 'n = 64) & 'n in {32, 64}. bit['n] -> unit effect pure test
This has the very nice upside that every n_constraint can now be
negatated when flow-typing if statements. Note also that 'in' has been
introduced as a synonym for 'IN' in the constraint 'n in {32,64}. The
use of a block capital keyword was a bit odd there because all the
other keywords are lowercase.

Introduces a when keyword for case statements, as the Pat_when constructor for pexp's in the AST. This allows us to write things like:
typedef T = const union { int C1; int C2 }
function int test ((int) x, (T) y) =
switch y {
case (C1(z)) when z == 0 -> 0
case (C1(z)) when z != 0 -> x quot z
case (C2(z)) -> z
}
this should make translation from ASL's patterns much more straightforward
|
|
Other things:
* Cleaned up several files a bit
* Fixed a bug in the parser where (deinfix |) got parsed as (definfix ||)
* Turned of the irritating auto-indent in sail-mode.el
|
|
New typechecker has no builtin overloaded operators - instead can now
write something in SAIL like:
overload (deinfix +) [id1; id2; id3]
to set up functions id1, id2, and id3 as overloadings for the +
operator. Any identifier can be overloaded, not just infix ones. This
is done in a backwards compatible way, so the old typechecker removes
the DEF_overload nodes from the ast so the various backends never see
it.
|
|
Added a new feature for implicit casts - now allowable implicit casts
can be specified by the user via a valspec such as
val cast forall Type 'a, Type 'b. 'a -> 'b effect pure cast_anything
with a new AST constructor to represent this as VS_cast_spec. This
constructor is removed and replaced with the standard val spec by the
old typechecker for backwards compatability, so it's only used by the
new typechecker, and won't appear in the ast once it reaches the
backends.
Also added Num as a synonym for the Nat kind in the parser, via the
confusingly named NatNum token (Num by itself was already taken for a
numeric constant).
