* move generic graph-colouring code into utilSimon Marlow2007-09-121-111/+0
| | | | | It is needed by cmm/StackColor, and hence is needed even when there is no native code generator.
* Add iterative coalescing to graph coloring allocatorBen.Lippmeier@anu.edu.au2007-09-071-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Iterative coalescing interleaves conservative coalesing with the regular simplify/scan passes. This increases the chance that nodes will be coalesced as they will have a lower degree than at the beginning of simplify. The end result is that more register to register moves will be eliminated in the output code, though the iterative nature of the algorithm makes it slower compared to non-iterative coloring. Use -fregs-iterative for graph coloring allocation with iterative coalescing -fregs-graph for non-iterative coalescing. The plan is for iterative coalescing to be enabled with -O2 and have a quicker, non-iterative algorithm otherwise. The time/benefit tradeoff between iterative and not is still being tuned - optimal graph coloring is NP-hard, afterall..
* Refactor MachRegs.trivColorable to do unboxed accumulationBen.Lippmeier@anu.edu.au2007-09-051-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | trivColorable was soaking up total 31% time, 41% alloc when compiling SHA1.lhs with -O2 -fregs-graph on x86. Refactoring to use unboxed accumulators and walk directly over the UniqFM holding the set of conflicts reduces this to 17% time, 6% alloc.

* Use OPTIONS rather than OPTIONS_GHC for pragmasIan Lynagh2007-09-031-2/+2
| | | | | | | Older GHCs can't parse OPTIONS_GHC. This also changes the URL referenced for the -w options from WorkingConventions#Warnings to CodingStyle#Warnings for the compiler modules.

* Add graph coloring register allocator.Ben.Lippmeier@anu.edu.au2007-08-141-0/+106
Refactored linear allocator into separate liveness annotation and allocation stages. Added graph coloring allocator, use -fregs-graph to enable. New dump flags are -ddump-asm-native -- output of cmm -> native transform. -ddump-asm-liveness -- code annotated with register liveness info -ddump-asm-coalesce -- output of register move coalescing (this is a separate pass when using the coloring allocator) (this could change in the future) -ddump-asm-regalloc -- code after register allocation -ddump-asm-regalloc-stages -- blocks after each build/spill stage of coloring allocator -ddump-asm-conflicts -- a global register liveness graph in graphviz format The new register allocator will allocate some registers, but it's not quite ready for prime-time yet. The spill code generator needs some work...
