2018-02-23Fix some bugs in C compilationAlasdair Armstrong
Fixed an issue with pattern matching on enums Fixed an issue whereby fix_early_returns would cause memory leaks Added optimizations for some of the builtins used in the decode function. Optimizations are turned on with the -O flag.
2018-02-22More updates to C backendAlasdair Armstrong
Add support for short-ciruiting and/or. I forgot about this in the original ANF specification and not having it causes problems for the ARM spec.
2018-02-21Can now compile aarch64/no_vector into CAlasdair Armstrong
Now compiles to C and builds a working executable. Just need to correctly implement all the library builtins (some are still stubs), and it should work.
2018-02-21Have aarch64/no_vector compiling to CAlasdair Armstrong
Just need to implement builtins, fix-up a few re-write passes, and integrate some kind of elf-loading and it should work.
2018-02-19Have generic vectors working in C backendAlasdair Armstrong
2018-02-16Add __TakeColdReset function to aarch64_no_vectorAlasdair Armstrong
Turns out the __TakeColdReset function is actually in the v8.3 XML. I went and looked for it, and it's there, it just wasn't being picked up by ASL parser because it's not called from any instructions. I added a new field to the json config files for ASL parser that can tell it about any such special functions that it should guarantee to include. Also fixed a bug in C loop compilation
2018-02-16Can now compile aarch64/duopod to CAlasdair Armstrong
Goes through the C compiler without any errors, but as we still don't have all the requisite builtins it won't actually produce an executable. There are still a few things that don't work properly, such as vectors of non-bit types - but once those are fixed and the Sail library is implemented fully it should work.
2018-02-15C backend can now handle record literals and record update syntax correctlyAlasdair Armstrong
2018-02-15List support in C backendAlasdair Armstrong
2018-02-13Support for large bitvector literals in C backendAlasdair Armstrong
2018-02-12Add support for top-level letbindings to C backendAlasdair Armstrong
2018-02-09Improve IR pretty-printing for debuggingAlasdair Armstrong
2018-02-09Formalize C backend intermediate representation in OttAlasdair Armstrong
Describes precisely the intermediate representation used in the C backend in an ott grammar, and also removes several C-isms where raw C code was inserted into the IR, so in theory this IR could be interpreted by a small VM/interpreter or compiled to LLVM bytecode etc. Currently the I_raw constructor for inserting C code is just used for inserting GCC attributes, so it can safely be ignored. Also augment and refactor the instruction type with an aux constructor so location information can be propagated down to this level.
2018-02-08Can now generate control flow graphs with C backendAlasdair Armstrong
Option -ddump_flow_graphs when used with -c will create graphviz files for each function in the specification with control and data dependencies shown.
2018-02-07Have exceptions working in C backendAlasdair Armstrong
2018-02-06Compile union types in C backendAlasdair Armstrong
2018-02-06Work on handling exceptions in C backendAlasdair Armstrong
2018-02-01More work on C compilationAlasdair Armstrong
Can now compile things like early returns. The same approach should work for exception handling as well. Once that's in place, just need to work a bit more on getting union types to work + the library of builtins, then we should be able to compile and run some of our specs via C. Also added some documentation in comments for the general approach taken when compiling (need many more though).

2018-01-26More work on C backendAlasdair Armstrong
2018-01-25Add pattern completness check for match statementsAlasdair Armstrong
Gives warnings when pattern matches are incomplete, when matches are redundant (in certain cases), or when no unguarded patterns exist. For example the following file: enum Test = {A, C, D} val test1 : Test -> string function test1 x = match x { A => "match A", B => "this will match anything, because B is unbound!", C => "match C", D => "match D" } val test2 : Test -> string function test2 x = match x { A => "match A", C => "match C" /* No match for D */ } val test3 : Test -> string function test3 x = match x { A if false => "never match A", C => "match C", D => "match D" } val test4 : Test -> string function test4 x = match x { A if true => "match A", C if true => "match C", D if true => "match D" } will produce the following warnings Warning: Possible redundant pattern match at file "test.sail", line 10, character 5 to line 10, character 5 C => "match C", Warning: Possible redundant pattern match at file "test.sail", line 11, character 5 to line 11, character 5 D => "match D" Warning: Possible incomplete pattern match at file "test.sail", line 17, character 3 to line 17, character 7 match x { Most general matched pattern is A_|C_ Warning: Possible incomplete pattern match at file "test.sail", line 26, character 3 to line 26, character 7 match x { Most general matched pattern is C_|D_ Warning: No non-guarded patterns at file "test.sail", line 35, character 3 to line 35, character 7 match x { warnings can be turned of with the -no_warn flag.
