From 51f1f8f4b871e3b52eb0c5d18b03f362a2b37791 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Cliff Click Date: Mon, 10 Aug 2026 11:11:18 -0700 Subject: Chapter 25: add separate compilation and simplify SSA construction Introduce Chapter 25 with separately compiled Simple modules, serialized IR, cross-compilation-unit linking, and native system-library integration. This also completes a broad parser and type-system cleanup needed to make graph construction independent of incomplete parse-time type information. Separate compilation and linking - Add compilation-unit Start/Stop nodes and track functions, classes, aliases, and global indices across compilation-unit boundaries. - Serialize canonical types and ideal graph nodes into ELF objects, including dependency metadata, relocations, global/local bitset remapping, and dense memory-alias information. - Load dependent objects on demand, recursively resolve source and object paths, relink calls and function pointers, and preserve external C symbols. - Distinguish the post-optimization ownership hook from unknown callers so private call graphs can remain precise while public functions remain externally callable. - Add command-line and build support for compiling modules and the reusable `sys` object library. Parser, constructors, and SSA - Replace inline constructor expansion with a hidden default `` followed by an explicit user constructor declared as `new Type = { ... }`. - Keep the default constructor private, pass private object memory through constructor calls, and require user constructors to initialize non-default fields before the object escapes. - Track possibly-uninitialized fields in parser `Var` state and diagnose early reads without encoding parser-only constraints in Load and Store nodes. - Make ordinary parser memory bulk and recover precise alias slices in the optimizer using `MemMerge`, `MemPhi`, and `BulkMemPhi` nodes. - Remove parser-supplied type constraints from Loads and ordinary Phis, defer integer/float arithmetic selection, and keep call shape driven by syntax instead of provisional inferred types. - Preserve chained field declarations as static parser information when flow types are not yet available, including postfix field updates through calls. Types, functions, and escape analysis - Add `TypeScalar` as the common lattice family for integer, float, memory pointer, and function-pointer values, with scalar TOP/BOT values for generic Loads, Stores, parameters, and invalid intermediate expressions. - Represent unresolved struct definitions directly with the `TypeStruct` forward-reference flag while retaining the separate open-structure concept; close and canonicalize recursive structures without side maps. - Add explicit `FunPtrNode` references so constant function pointers retain a graph edge to their Return, and keep referenced functions alive until Opto proves the pointer dead. - Refine public-function and class-initializer escape handling, including public-only fallback escape sets and monotone compilation-unit summaries. - Add guards, proof casts, read-only propagation, pointer-to-integer conversion for non-null FFI arguments, and consistent deep mutability checks at calls. Optimization and code generation - Make weak and unresolved graph inputs compute conservatively and monotonically throughout iterative peepholes and SCCP. - Preserve independent memory slices when sharpening Stores, retain control on conditional Stores, and freeze Store widths from their target field types. - Extend serialization for new node kinds, scalar types, Store modes, function pointers, and memory partitions, preserving serialize/deserialize bijection. - Complete native selection and encoding support across x86-64, RISC-V, and ARM, including FFI pointer conversion and missing integer operations. - Fix x86 immediate multiply REX encoding and assorted scheduling, register allocation, spilling, relocation, and constant-pool issues exposed by the larger linked graphs. System library, tests, and documentation - Compile and link the Simple `sys` library, including libc bindings, I/O, scanners, strings, vectors, array helpers, and executable entry points. - Add Chapter 25 module, serialization, constructor, forward-reference, postfix-update, system, Hello World, and Bubble Sort coverage; update golden graphs and spill expectations for the new IR shape. - Add module and type-system documentation, parser-simplification design notes, grammar updates, examples, diagrams, and graph visualization assets. The resulting compiler passes the raw Chapter 1-24 suite and the Chapter 25 system and separate-compilation tests, including a freshly rebuilt `sys.o` and the native Bubble Sort example. --- chapter25/docs/lattice2.gv | 85 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 85 insertions(+) create mode 100644 chapter25/docs/lattice2.gv (limited to 'chapter25/docs/lattice2.gv') diff --git a/chapter25/docs/lattice2.gv b/chapter25/docs/lattice2.gv new file mode 100644 index 00000000..6aa37fa0 --- /dev/null +++ b/chapter25/docs/lattice2.gv @@ -0,0 +1,85 @@ +digraph Lattice { + compound = true; + // Define nodes + splines=false; + node [shape=oval, style=filled]; + nodesep=0.2; + ranksep=0.4; + + TOP [label="~scalar\n+int+tmp+0", fillcolor=black, fontcolor=white, group=center]; + + // ------------------------ + PTRHQ [label="~tmp\n+tmp+0", fillcolor=green, fontcolor=white, group=left]; + TOP -> PTRHQ + + VALH_ [label="~nscalar\n+int+tmp", fillcolor=white, group=center]; + TOP -> VALH_ + + INTHQ [label="~int\n+int+0", fillcolor=lightblue, group=right]; + TOP -> INTHQ + + LEFTHI [label="junk", style=invis, group=junkleft] + + + PTRHQ -> LEFTHI-> VALH_ -> INTHQ [style=invis]; + { rank=same; PTRHQ; LEFTHI; VALH_; INTHQ } + + // ------------------------ + PTRH_ [label="~ntmp\n+tmp", fillcolor=green, fontcolor=white, group=left]; + VALH_ -> PTRH_ + PTRHQ -> PTRH_ + + INTH_ [label="~nint\n+int", fillcolor=lightblue, group=right]; + VALH_ -> INTH_ + INTHQ -> INTH_ + { rank=same; PTRH_; INTH_ } + + // ------------------------ + NILX_ [label="~nil\n[int,tmp]+0", fillcolor=aqua, group=junkleft]; + INTHQ -> NILX_ + PTRHQ -> NILX_ + + NIL__ [label="nil\n[+int+tmp],0", fillcolor=pink]; + VALH_ -> NIL__; + + NILX_ -> NIL__ [style=invis]; + { rank=same; NIL__; NILX_ } + + // ------------------------ + PTRL_ [label="ntmp\ntmp", fillcolor=green, fontcolor=white, group=left]; + PTRH_ -> PTRL_ + + INTL_ [label="nint\nint", fillcolor=lightblue, group=right]; + INTH_ -> INTL_ + { rank=same; PTRL_; INTL_ } + + // ------------------------ + PTRL0 [label="tmp\ntmp,0", fillcolor=green, fontcolor=white, group=left]; + PTRL_ -> PTRL0 + NIL__ -> PTRL0 + + VALL_ [label="nscalar\nint,tmp", fillcolor=white, group=center]; + PTRL_ -> VALL_ + INTL_ -> VALL_ + NILX_ -> VALL_ + + INTL0 [label="int\nint,0", fillcolor=lightblue, group=right]; + INTL_ -> INTL0 + NIL__ -> INTL0 + + PTRL0 -> VALL_ -> INTL0 [style=invis]; + { rank=same; PTRL0; VALL_; INTL0 } + + // ------------------------ + BOT [label="scalar\nint,tmp,0", fillcolor=black, fontcolor=white, group=center]; + PTRL0 -> BOT + INTL0 -> BOT + VALL_ -> BOT + + // ------------------------ + // Verticle alignment + TOP -> VALH_ -> VALL_ -> BOT [style=invis]; + PTRHQ -> PTRH_ -> PTRL_ -> PTRL0 [style=invis]; + INTHQ -> INTH_ -> INTL_ -> INTL0 [style=invis]; + LEFTHI -> NILX_ [style=invis] +} -- cgit v1.2.3
