This is very much like a "hint" in C-- terminology: it isn't necessary in order to generate correct code, but it might be useful in that the compiler can generate better code if it has access to higher-level hints about data. This is important at call boundaries, because the definition of a function is not visible at all of its call sites, so the compiler cannot infer the hints. Here in Cmm, we're taking a slightly different approach. We include the int vs. float hint in the CmmType, because (a) the majority of platforms have a strong distinction between float and int registers, and (b) we don't want to do any heavyweight hint-inference in the native code backend in order to get good code. We're treating the hint more like a type: our Cmm is always completely consistent with respect to hints. All coercions between float and int are explicit. What about the signed vs. unsigned hint? This information might be useful if we want to keep sub-word-sized values in word-size registers, which we must do if we only have word-sized registers. On such a system, there are two straightforward conventions for representing sub-word-sized values: (a) Leave the upper bits undefined. Comparison operations must sign- or zero-extend both operands before comparing them, depending on whether the comparison is signed or unsigned. (b) Always keep the values sign- or zero-extended as appropriate. Arithmetic operations must narrow the result to the appropriate size. A clever compiler might not use either (a) or (b) exclusively, instead it would attempt to minimize the coercions by analysis: the same kind of analysis that propagates hints around. In Cmm we don't want to have to do this, so we plump for having richer types and keeping the type information consistent. If signed/unsigned hints are missing from CmmType, then the only choice we have is (a), because we don't know whether the result of an operation should be sign- or zero-extended. Many architectures have extending load operations, which work well with (b). To make use of them with (a), you need to know whether the value is going to be sign- or zero-extended by an enclosing comparison (for example), which involves knowing above the context. This is doable but more complex. Further complicating the issue is foreign calls: a foreign calling convention can specify that signed 8-bit quantities are passed as sign-extended 32 bit quantities, for example (this is the case on the PowerPC). So we *do* need sign information on foreign call arguments. Pros for adding signed vs. unsigned to CmmType: - It would let us use convention (b) above, and get easier code generation for extending loads. - Less information required on foreign calls. - MachOp type would be simpler Cons: - More complexity - What is the CmmType for a VanillaReg? Currently it is always wordRep, but now we have to decide whether it is signed or unsigned. The same VanillaReg can thus have different CmmType in different parts of the program. - Extra coercions cluttering up expressions. Currently for GHC, the foreign call point is moot, because we do our own promotion of sub-word-sized values to word-sized values. The Int8 type is represnted by an Int# which is kept sign-extended at all times (this is slightly naughty, because we're making assumptions about the C calling convention rather early on in the compiler). However, given this, the cons outweigh the pros. -}
