RegAlloc.Linear.Base

Description

Put common type definitions here to break recursive module dependencies.

Synopsis

Documentation

type BlockAssignment = BlockMap (FreeRegs, RegMap Loc)Source

Used to store the register assignment on entry to a basic block. We use this to handle join points, where multiple branch instructions target a particular label. We have to insert fixup code to make the register assignments from the different sources match up.

data Loc Source

Where a vreg is currently stored A temporary can be marked as living in both a register and memory (InBoth), for example if it was recently loaded from a spill location. This makes it cheap to spill (no save instruction required), but we have to be careful to turn this into InReg if the value in the register is changed.

Constructors

InReg !RealReg

vreg is in a register

InMem !StackSlot

vreg is held in a stack slot

InBoth !RealReg !StackSlot

vreg is held in both a register and a stack slot

Instances

regsOfLoc :: Loc -> [RealReg]Source

Get the reg numbers stored in this Loc.

data SpillReason Source

Reasons why instructions might be inserted by the spiller. Used when generating stats for -ddrop-asm-stats.

Constructors

SpillAlloc !Unique

vreg was spilled to a slot so we could use its current hreg for another vreg

SpillClobber !Unique

vreg was moved because its hreg was clobbered

SpillLoad !Unique

vreg was loaded from a spill slot

SpillJoinRR !Unique

reg-reg move inserted during join to targets

SpillJoinRM !Unique

reg-mem move inserted during join to targets

data RegAllocStats Source

Used to carry interesting stats out of the register allocator.

Constructors

RegAllocStats 

data RA_State Source

The register alloctor state

Constructors

RA_State 

Fields

ra_blockassig :: BlockAssignment

the current mapping from basic blocks to the register assignments at the beginning of that block.

ra_freeregs :: !FreeRegs

free machine registers

ra_assig :: RegMap Loc

assignment of temps to locations

ra_delta :: Int

current stack delta

ra_stack :: StackMap

free stack slots for spilling

ra_us :: UniqSupply

unique supply for generating names for join point fixup blocks.

ra_spills :: [SpillReason]

Record why things were spilled, for -ddrop-asm-stats. Just keep a list here instead of a map of regs -> reasons. We don't want to slow down the allocator if we're not going to emit the stats.

newtype RegM a Source

The register allocator monad type.

Constructors

RegM 

Fields

unReg :: RA_State -> (#RA_State, a#)
 

Instances

Monad RegM
