mod.rs

1//! This module exposes the machine-specific backend definition pieces.
2//!
3//! The MachInst infrastructure is the compiler backend, from CLIF
4//! (ir::Function) to machine code. The purpose of this infrastructure is, at a
5//! high level, to do instruction selection/lowering (to machine instructions),
6//! register allocation, and then perform all the fixups to branches, constant
7//! data references, etc., needed to actually generate machine code.
8//!
9//! The container for machine instructions, at various stages of construction,
10//! is the `VCode` struct. We refer to a sequence of machine instructions organized
11//! into basic blocks as "vcode". This is short for "virtual-register code".
12//!
13//! The compilation pipeline, from an `ir::Function` (already optimized as much as
14//! you like by machine-independent optimization passes) onward, is as follows.
15//!
16//! ```plain
17//!
18//!     ir::Function                (SSA IR, machine-independent opcodes)
19//!         |
20//!         |  [lower]
21//!         |
22//!     VCode<arch_backend::Inst>   (machine instructions:
23//!         |                        - mostly virtual registers.
24//!         |                        - cond branches in two-target form.
25//!         |                        - branch targets are block indices.
26//!         |                        - in-memory constants held by insns,
27//!         |                          with unknown offsets.
28//!         |                        - critical edges (actually all edges)
29//!         |                          are split.)
30//!         |
31//!         | [regalloc --> `regalloc2::Output`; VCode is unchanged]
32//!         |
33//!         | [binary emission via MachBuffer]
34//!         |
35//!     Vec<u8>                     (machine code:
36//!         |                        - two-dest branches resolved via
37//!         |                          streaming branch resolution/simplification.
38//!         |                        - regalloc `Allocation` results used directly
39//!         |                          by instruction emission code.

41//!         |                          directly during emission.
42//!         |                        - SP-relative offsets resolved by tracking
43//!         |                          EmitState.)
