The main change here is that the Cmm parser now allows high-level cmm
code with argument-passing and function calls. For example:
foo ( gcptr a, bits32 b )
{
if (b > 0) {
// we can make tail calls passing arguments:
jump stg_ap_0_fast(a);
}
return (x,y);
}
More details on the new cmm syntax are in Note [Syntax of .cmm files]
in CmmParse.y.
The old syntax is still more-or-less supported for those occasional
code fragments that really need to explicitly manipulate the stack.
However there are a couple of differences: it is now obligatory to
give a list of live GlobalRegs on every jump, e.g.
jump %ENTRY_CODE(Sp(0)) [R1];
Again, more details in Note [Syntax of .cmm files].
I have rewritten most of the .cmm files in the RTS into the new
syntax, except for AutoApply.cmm which is generated by the genapply
program: this file could be generated in the new syntax instead and
would probably be better off for it, but I ran out of enthusiasm.
Some other changes in this batch:
- The PrimOp calling convention is gone, primops now use the ordinary
NativeNodeCall convention. This means that primops and "foreign
import prim" code must be written in high-level cmm, but they can
now take more than 10 arguments.
- CmmSink now does constant-folding (should fix #7219)
- .cmm files now go through the cmmPipeline, and as a result we
generate better code in many cases. All the object files generated
for the RTS .cmm files are now smaller. Performance should be
better too, but I haven't measured it yet.
- RET_DYN frames are removed from the RTS, lots of code goes away
- we now have some more canned GC points to cover unboxed-tuples with
2-4 pointers, which will reduce code size a little.

All the flags that 'ways' imply are now dynamic

We only use it for "compiler" sources, i.e. not for libraries.
Many modules have a -fno-warn-tabs kludge for now.

This changes the new code generator to make use of the Hoopl package
for dataflow analysis. Hoopl is a new boot package, and is maintained
in a separate upstream git repository (as usual, GHC has its own
lagging darcs mirror in http://darcs.haskell.org/packages/hoopl).
During this merge I squashed recent history into one patch. I tried
to rebase, but the history had some internal conflicts of its own
which made rebase extremely confusing, so I gave up. The history I
squashed was:
- Update new codegen to work with latest Hoopl
- Add some notes on new code gen to cmm-notes
- Enable Hoopl lag package.
- Add SPJ note to cmm-notes
- Improve GC calls on new code generator.
Work in this branch was done by:
- Milan Straka <fox@ucw.cz>
- John Dias <dias@cs.tufts.edu>
- David Terei <davidterei@gmail.com>
Edward Z. Yang <ezyang@mit.edu> merged in further changes from GHC HEAD
and fixed a few bugs.

The type of the CmmLabel ctor is now
CmmLabel :: PackageId -> FastString -> CmmLabelInfo -> CLabel
- When you construct a CmmLabel you have to explicitly say what
package it is in. Many of these will just use rtsPackageId, but
I've left it this way to remind people not to pretend labels are
in the RTS package when they're not.
- When parsing a Cmm file, labels that are not defined in the
current file are assumed to be in the RTS package.
Labels imported like
import label
are assumed to be in a generic "foreign" package, which is different
from the current one.
Labels imported like
import "package-name" label
are marked as coming from the named package.
This last one is needed for the integer-gmp library as we want to
refer to labels that are not in the same compilation unit, but
are in the same non-rts package.
This should help remove the nasty #ifdef __PIC__ stuff from
integer-gmp/cbits/gmp-wrappers.cmm
