All sizeof expressions now removed by the type-checker, so it's now
properly a type error if they cannot be removed rather than a bizarre
re-write error. This also greatly improves compilation speed overall, at
the expense of the first type-checking pass.

Make all backends behave the same when a catch block does not catch a
specific exception.

For example in RISC-V for the translation table walk:
$optimize unroll 2
val walk32 ...
function walk32 ...
would create two extra copies of the walk_32 function,
walk_32_unroll_1 and walk_32_unroll_2, with only walk_32_unroll_2
being recursive. Currently we only support the case where we have
$optimize unroll, directly followed by a valspec, then a function, but
this should be generalised in future.
This optimization nearly doubles the performance of RISC-V
It is implemented using a new Optimize.recheck rewrite that replaces
the ordinary recheck_defs pass. It uses a new typechecker
check_with_envs function that allows re-writes to utilise intermediate
typechecking environments to minimize the amount of AST checking that
occurs, for performance reasons.
Note that older Sail versions including the current OPAM release will
complain about the optimize pragma, so this cannot be used until they
become up to date with this change.

We want to ensure that no_devices.sail and devices.sail have the same
effect footprint, because with a snapshot-type release in sail-arm, we
can't rebuild the spec with asl_to_sail every time we switch from
running elf binaries to booting OS's. This commit allows registers to
have arbitrary effects, so registers that are really representing
memory-mapped devices don't have to have the wmem/rmem effect.

Remove unused name schemes and DEF_kind

Work on improving the formatting and quality of error messages
When sail is invoked with sail -i, any type errors now drop the user
down to the interactive prompt, with the interactive environment being
the environment at the point the type error occurred, this means the
typechecker state can be interactively queried in the interpreter to help
diagnose type errors.

* Improve type inference for numeric if statements (if_infer test)
* Correctly handle constraints for existentially quantified constructors (constraint_ctor test)
* Canonicalise all numeric types in function arguments, which
triggers some weird edge cases between parametric polymorphism and
subtyping of numeric arguments
* Because of this eq_int, eq_range, and eq_atom etc become identical
* Avoid duplicating destruct_exist in Env
* Handle some odd subtyping cases better

Change Typ_arg_ to A_. We use it a lot more now typ_arg is used instead of
uvar as the result of unify. Plus A_ could either stand for argument, or
Any/A type which is quite appropriate in most use cases.
Restore instantiation info in infer_funapp'. Ideally we would save this
instead of recomputing it ever time we need it. However I checked and
there are over 300 places in the code that would need to be changed to add
an extra argument to E_app. Still some issues causing specialisation to
fail however.
Improve the error message when we swap how we infer/check an l-expression,
as this could previously cause the actual cause of a type-checking failure
to be effectively hidden.

Mostly this is to change how we desugar types in order to make us more
flexible with what we can parse as a valid constraint as
type. Previously the structure of the initial check forced some
awkward limitations on what was parseable due to how the parse AST is
set up.
As part of this, I've taken the de-scattering of scattered functions
out of the initial check, and moved it to a re-writing step after
type-checking, where I think it logically belongs. This doesn't change
much right now, but opens up some more possibilities in the future:
Since scattered functions are now typechecked normally, any future
module system for Sail would be able to handle them specially, and the
Latex documentation backend can now document scattered functions
explicitly, rather than relying on hackish 'de-scattering' logic to
present documentation as the functions originally appeared.
This has one slight breaking change which is that union clauses must
appear before their uses in scattered functions, so
union ast = Foo : unit
function clause execute(Foo())
is ok, but
function clause execute(Foo())
union ast = Foo : unit
is not. Previously this worked because the de-scattering moved union
clauses upwards before type-checking, but as this now happens after
type-checking they must appear in the correct order. This doesn't
occur in ARM, RISC-V, MIPS, but did appear in Cheri and I submitted a
pull request to re-order the places where it happens.

- Completely remove the nexp = nexp syntax in favour of nexp ==
nexp. All our existing specs have already switched over. As part of
this fix every test that used the old syntax, and update the
generated aarch64 specs
- Remove the `type when constraint` syntax. It just makes changing the
parser in any way really awkward.
- Change the syntax for declaring new types with multiple type
parameters from:
type foo('a : Type) ('n : Int), constraint = ...
to
type foo('a: Type, 'n: Int), constraint = ...
This makes type declarations mimic function declarations, and makes
the syntax for declaring types match the syntax for using types, as
foo is used as foo(type, nexp). None of our specifications use types
with multiple type parameters so this change doesn't actually break
anything, other than some tests. The brackets around the type
parameters are now mandatory.
- Experiment with splitting Type/Order type parameters from Int type
parameters in the parser.
Currently in a type bar(x, y, z) all of x, y, and z could be either
numeric expressions, orders, or types. This means that in the parser
we are severely restricted in what we can parse in numeric
expressions because everything has to be parseable as a type (atyp)
- it also means we can't introduce boolean type
variables/expressions or other minisail features (like removing
ticks from type variables!) because we are heavily constrained by
what we can parse unambigiously due to how these different type
parameters can be mixed and interleaved.
There is now experimental syntax: vector::<'o, 'a>('n) <-->
vector('n, 'o, 'a) which splits the type argument list into two
between Type/Order-polymorphic arguments and Int-polymorphic
arguments. The exact choice of delimiters isn't set in stone - ::<
and > match generics in Rust. The obvious choices of < and > / [ and
] are ambigious in various ways.
Using this syntax right now triggers a warning.
- Fix undefined behaviour in C compilation when concatenating a
0-length vector with a 64-length vector.

- Fix pretty printing nested constraints
- Add flow typing for if condition then { throw exn }; ... blocks
- Add optimisations for bitvector concatenation in C

Should hopefully fix memory leak in RISC-V.
Also adds an optimization pass that removes copying structs and allows
some structs to simply alias each other and avoid copying their
contents. This requires knowing certain things about the lifetimes of
the structs involved, as can't free the struct if another variable is
referencing it - therefore we conservatively only apply this
optimization for variables that are lifted outside function
definitions, and should therefore never get freed until the model
exits - however this may cause issues outside ARMv8, as there may be
cases where a struct can exist within a variant type (which are not
yet subject to this lifting optimisation), that would break these
assumptions - therefore this optimisation is only enabled with the
-Oexperimental flag.
|
|
This optimisation re-uses variables if possible, rather than
allocating new ones.
|
|
Bitvectors that aren't fixed size, but can still be shown to fit
within 64-bits, now have a specialised representation. Still need to
introduce more optimized functions, as right now we mostly have to
convert them into large bitvectors to pass them into most
functions. Nevertheless, this doubles the performance of the TLBLookup
function in ARMv8.
|
|
- Propagate types more accurately to improve optimization on ANF
representation.
- Add a generic optimization pass to remove redundant variables that
simply alias other variables.
- Modify Sail interactive mode, so it can compile a specification with
the :compile command, view generated intermediate representation via
the :ir <function> command, and step-through the IR with :exec <exp>
(although this is very incomplete)
- Introduce a third bitvector representation, between fast
fixed-precision bitvectors, and variable length large
bitvectors. The bitvector types are now from most efficient to least
* CT_fbits for fixed precision, 64-bit or less bitvectors
* CT_sbits for 64-bit or less, variable length bitvectors
* CT_lbits for arbitrary variable length bitvectors
- Support for generating C code using CT_sbits is currently
incomplete, it just exists in the intermediate representation right
now.
- Include ctyp in AV_C_fragment, so we don't have to recompute it

Also fix some C optimisations
|

This was _really_ slow - about 50secs for ARM. If this changes causes
breakages we should fix them in some other way.
Also using Reporting.err_unreachable in ANF translation, and fix slice
optimization when creating slices larger than 64-bits in C translation
|
|
|
|
This should fix the issue in cheri128
Also introduce a feature to more easily debug the C backend:
sail -dfunction Name
will pretty-print the ANF and IR representation of just the Name
function. I want to make this work for the type-checker as well, but
it's a bit hard to get that to not fire during re-writing passes right
now.
|
|
This goes partway to resolving issue #23, as it now generates C code,
but it seems like there is still an issue with the generated C.
|
|
There is no Reporting_complex, so it's not clear what the basic is
intended to signify anyway.
Add a GitHub issue link to any err_unreachable errors (as they are all
bugs)
|
|
For example, for a function like
```
val aget_X : forall 'n, 0 <= 'n <= 31. int('n) -> bits(64)
function test(n : int) -> unit = {
let y = aget_X(n);
()
}
```
we get the message
> Could not resolve quantifiers for aget_X (0 <= 'ex7# & 'ex7# <= 31)
>
> Try adding named type variables for n : atom('ex7#)
>
> The property (0 <= n & n <= 31) must hold
which suggests adding a name for the type variable 'ex7#, and gives
the property in terms of the variable n. If we give n a type variable name:
```
val test : int -> unit
function test(n as 'N) = {
let y = aget_X(n);
()
}
```
It will suggest a constraint involving the type variable name
> Could not resolve quantifiers for aget_X (0 <= 'ex6# & 'ex6# <= 31)
>
> Try adding the constraint (0 <= 'N & 'N <= 31)

Changes the representation of function types in the ast from
Typ_fn : typ -> typ
to
Typ_fn : typ list -> typ
to more accurately represent their use in the various backends, where we often compile functions to either their curried representations as in Lem and Isabelle, or just
multiple argument functions in C. There's still some oddity because a single pattern in a function clause can bind against multiple arguments, and maybe we want to
forbid this in the future. The syntax also hasn't changed (yet), so in theory this change shouldn't break anything (but it invariably will...).
In the future we would ideally require that a function with N arguments has exactly N patterns in its declaration, one for each argument so
f : (x, y) -> z
f _ = ...
would be disallowed (as _ matches both x and y), forcing
f(_, _) = z
this would simply quite a few things,
Also we could have a different syntax for function argument lists and tuples, because it's rather hard to define a function that actually takes a tuple with the syntax
how it is now.
Some issues I noticed when doing this refactoring:
Line 1926 of Coq translation. untuple_args_pat is maybe no longer needed? However there's still some funnyness where a pattern can be used to bind multiple function
arguments so maybe it still is.
Line 2306 of monomorphisation. I simplified the logic here. I think it's equivalent now, but I could be wrong.
Line 4517 of rewrites. I'm not sure what make_cstr_mappings is doing here, but hopefully the simpler version is the same.
|

When converting to A-normal form I just used the type of the then
branch of if statements to get the type of the whole if statement -
usually they'd be the same, but with flow typing one of the branches
can have a false constraint, which then allows the optimizer to fit
any integer into a 64-bit integer causing an overflow. The fix is to
correctly use the type the typechecker gives for the whole if
statement.
Also add decimal_string_of_bits to the C output.
Rename is_reftyp to is_ref_typ to be more consistent with other
is_X_typ functions in Ast_util.
|
|
This really demonstrates why we should switch to Typ_fn being a typ
list * typ constructor because the implementation here feels *really*
hacky with dummy Typ_tup constructors being used to enforce single
arguments for constructors.

Added a regression test as c/test/downcast_fn.sail

constructors
Add a new printing function for debugging that recursively prints
constructor types.
Fix an interpreter bug when pattern matching on constructors with
tuple types.
|

Now all we need to do is make sure the RISC-V builtins are mapped to
the correct C functions, and RISC-V in C should work
(hopefully). We're still missing some of the functions in sail.c for
the mappings so those have to be implemented.
|
|
Allow pat_lits rewrite to map L_unit to wildcard patterns, rather than
introducing eq_unit tests as guards.
Add a fold_function and fold_funcl functions in rewriter.ml that apply
the pattern and expression algebras to top-level functions, which
means that they correctly get applied to top-level function patterns
when they are used. Currently modifying the re-writing passes to do
this introduces some bugs which needs investigated further. The
current situation is that top-level patterns and patterns elsewhere
are often treated differently because rewrite_exp doesn't (and indeed
cannot, due to how the re-writer is structured) rewrite top level
patterns.
Fix pattern completeness check for unit literals
Fix a bug in Sail->ANF transform where blocks were always annotated
with type unit incorrectly. This caused issues in pattern literal
re-writes where the guard was a block returning a boolean. A test case
for this is added as test/c/and_block.sail.
Fix a bug caused by nested polymorphic function calls and matching in
top-level patterns. Test case is test/c/tl_poly_match.sail.
Pass location info through codegen_conversion for better error
reporting

This change allows the RISC-V spec to compile to C, but more testing
is needed to ensure it works correctly.
|
|
Make the C l-expression type in Sail more generic and expressive, and
refactor the generation of conversions into a seperate
codegen_conversion function, which can handle more complex cases than
the previous more ad-hoc method.
|
|
Ensure that this works even when the union types are dependent in the wrong order, before topologically sorting definitions. We do this by calling fix_variant_ctyps on all cdefs by passing a list of
prior cdefs to specialize_variants.
|

Test the builtin functions by compiling them to C, OCaml, and OCaml
via Lem. Split up some of the longer builtin test programs to avoid
stack overflows when compiling to OCaml, as 3000+ line long blocks can
cause issues with some re-writing steps.
Also test constant-folding with builtins (this should reduce the
asserts in these files to assert true), and also test constant folding
with the C compilation.
Fix a bug whereby vectors with heap-allocated elements were not
initialized correctly.
Fix a bug caused by compiling and optimising empty vector literals.
Fix an OCaml test case that broke due to the ref type being used. Now
uses references to registers.
Fix a bug where Sail would output big integers that lem can't
parse. Checks if integer is between Int32.min_int and Int32.max_int
and if not, use integerOfString to represent the integer. Really this
should be fixed in Lem.
Make the python test runner script the default for testing builtins
and running the C compilation tests in test/run_tests.sh
Add a ocaml_build_dir option that sets a custom build directory for
OCaml. This is needed for running OCaml tests in parallel so the
builds don't clobber one another.

Add additional well-formedness check when calling typing rules

Cleanup some debugging output
|
|
|
|
We now generate anonymous types in the correct order, but post specialisation more dependencies can occur between named types, so an additional
sorting step is needed to ensure that these happen in the correct order. In theory we could end up with circular dependencies here that don't exist
at the Sail source level, but this shouldn't occur often (or ever) in practice. I think this is fixable but it would require some code generator
changes.
