2017-08-16Added the feature to bind type variables in patterns.Alasdair Armstrong
The reason you want this is to do something like (note new parser only): ********* default Order dec type bits 'n:Int = vector('n - 1, 'n, dec, bit) val zeros : forall 'n. atom('n) -> bits('n) val decode : bool -> unit function decode b = { let 'datasize: {|32, 64|} = if b then 32 else 64; let imm: bits('datasize) = zeros(datasize); () } ********* for the ASL decode functions, where the typechecker now knows that the datasize variable and the length of imm are the same.
2017-08-08Various fixes and improvements for the Lem pretty-printingThomas Bauereiss
- Add some missing "wreg" effect annotations in the type checker - Improve pretty-printing of register type definitions: In addition to a "build" function, output an actual type definition, and some getter/setter functions for register fields - Fix a bug in sizeof rewriting that caused it to fail when rewriting nested calls of functions that contained sizeof expressions - Fix pretty-printing of user-defined union types with type variables (cf. test case option_either.sail) - Simplify nexps, e.g. "(8 * 8) - 1" becomes "63", in order to be able to output more type annotations with bitvector lengths - Add (back) some support for specifying Lem bindings in val specs using "val extern ... foo = bar" - Misc bug fixes

2017-07-26Improve rewriting of sizeof expressionsThomas Bauereiss
If some type-level variables in a sizeof expression in a function body cannot be directly extracted from the parameters of the function, add a new parameter for each unresolved parameter, and rewrite calls to the function accordingly
2017-07-25Add partial support for rewriting of sizeof expressionsThomas Bauereiss
Tries to extract values of nexps from the (type annotations of) parameters passed to the function. This seems to correspond to the behaviour of the previous typechecker.
2017-07-21Improvements to sail n_constraintsAlasdair Armstrong
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.
