Added new priority queue export symbols (which have just been added to |

smlnj-lib.cm) to CML's version of smlnj-lib.cm. (Otherwise CML would |
32 |

not compile and the installer would choke.) |

1. More tweaks to ml-nlffigen: |
41 |
|
|
42 |
|
- better internal datastructures (resulting in slight speedup) |
43 |
|
- "-match" option requires exact match |
44 |
|
- "localized" gensym counters (untagged structs/unions nested within |
45 |
|
other structs/unions or within typedefs get a fresh counter; their |
46 |
|
tag will be prefixed by a concatenation of their parents' tags) |
47 |
|
- bug fixes (related to calculation of transitive closure of types |
48 |
|
to be included in the output) |
49 |
|
|
50 |
|
2. Minor Basis updates: |
51 |
|
|
52 |
|
- added implementations for List.collate and Option.app |

Added a "-gensym" option to command line of ml-nlffigen. This can be |
61 |
|
used to specify a "stem" -- a string that is inserted in all "gensym'd" |
62 |
|
names (ML structure names that correspond to unnamed C structs, unions, |
63 |
|
and enums), so that separate runs of ml-nlffigen do not clash. |

A quick fix for a problem with GenSML (in the pgraph-util library): |
72 |
|
Make generation of toplevel "local" optional. (Strictly speaking, |
73 |
|
signature definitions within "local" are not legal SML.) |

|
|

Other than that: updates to INSTALL and cm/TODO. |

0. Version number has been bumped to 110.38.1. NEW BOOTFILES!!! |
84 |
|
|
85 |
|
1. The installer (config/install.sh) has gotten smarter: |
86 |
|
|
87 |
|
- Configuration options are a bit easier to specify now |
88 |
|
(in config/targets). |
89 |
|
- Bug in recognizing .tar.bz2 files fixed. |
90 |
|
- Installer automatically resolves dependencies between |
91 |
|
configuration options (e.g., if you ask for eXene, you will |
92 |
|
also get cml -- regardless whether you asked for it or not). |
93 |
|
- Installer can run in "quieter mode" by setting the environment |
94 |
|
variable INSTALL_QUIETLY to "true". "Quieter" does not mean |
95 |
|
"completely silent", though. |
96 |
|
- Build HashCons library as part of smlnj-lib. |
97 |
|
|
98 |
|
2. A new scheme for assigning persistent identifiers to compilation |
99 |
|
units (and, by extension, to types etc.) has been put into place. |
100 |
|
This fixes a long-standing bug where types and even dynamic values |
101 |
|
can get internally confused, thereby compromising type safety |
102 |
|
(abstraction) and dynamic correctness. See |
103 |
|
|
104 |
|
http://cm.bell-labs.com/cm/cs/who/blume/pid-confusion.tgz |
105 |
|
|
106 |
|
for an example of how things could go wrong until now. |
107 |
|
|
108 |
|
The downside of the new scheme is that pids are not quite as |
109 |
|
persistent as they used to be: CM will generate a fresh pid |
110 |
|
for every compilation unit that it thinks it sees for the first |
111 |
|
time. That means that if you compile starting from a clean, fresh |
112 |
|
source tree at two different times, you end up with different |
113 |
|
binaries. |
114 |
|
|
115 |
|
Cutoff recompilation, however, has not been compromised because |
116 |
|
CM keeps pid information in special caches between runs. |

Compilers that generate assembly code may produce global labels |
125 |

whose value is resolved at link time. The various peephole optimization |
126 |
|
modules did not take this in account. |
127 |
|
|
128 |
|
TODO. The Labels.addrOf function should really return an option |
129 |
|
type so that clients are forced to deal with this issue, rather |
130 |
|
than an exception being raised. |

1. A bug fix from Allen. |
139 |
|
|
140 |
|
A typo causes extra fstp %st(0)'s to be generated at compensation |
141 |
|
edges, which might cause stack underflow traps at runtime. This |
142 |
|
occurs in fft where there are extraneous fstps right before the 'into' |
143 |
|
trap instruction (in this case they are harmless since none of the |
144 |
|
integers overflow.) |
145 |
|
|
146 |
|
2. Pulled out various utility modules that were embedded in the modules |
147 |
|
of the register allocator. I need these modules for other purposes, but |
148 |
|
they are not complete enough to put into a library (just yet). |

Another day of fiddling with the FFI... |
297 |
|
|
298 |
|
1. Bug fix/workaround: CKIT does not complain about negative array |
299 |
|
dimensions, so ml-nlffigen has to guard itself against this possibility. |
300 |
|
(Otherwise a negative dimension would send it into an infinite loop.) |
301 |
|
|
302 |
|
2. Some of the abstract types (light objects, light pointers, most "base" |
303 |
|
types) in structure C are now eqtypes. |
304 |
|
|
305 |
|
3. Added constructors and test functions for NULL function pointers. |

- Provided a structure CGetSet with "convenient" versions of C.Get.* and |
327 |
|
C.Set.* that use concrete (MLRep.*) arguments and results instead |
328 |
|
of abstract ones. |
329 |

- Provided word-style bit operations etc. for "int" representation |
331 |

types in MLRep.S<Foo>Bitops where <Foo> ranges over Char, Int, Short, |
332 |
|
and Long. |

More fiddling with the FFI interface: |
368 |
|
|
369 |
|
- Make constness 'c instead of rw wherever possible. This eliminates |
370 |
|
the need for certain explicit coercions. (However, due to ML's |
371 |
|
value polymorphism, there will still be many cases where explicit |
372 |
|
coercions are necessary. Phantom types are not the whole answer |
373 |
|
to modeling a subtyping relationship in ML.) |
374 |
|
|
375 |
|
- ro/rw coersions for pointers added. (Avoids the detour through */&.) |
376 |

|
377 |

- "printf" test example added to src/ml-nlffi-lib/Tests. (Demonstrates |

clumsy workaround for varargs problem.) |

Description: |
397 |
|
|
398 |
|
1. Fix for bug resulting in single-precision float values being returned |
399 |
|
incorrectly from FFI calls. |
400 |
|
|
401 |
|
2. Small modifications to C FFI API: |
402 |
|
|
403 |
|
- memory-allocation routines return straight objects (no options) |
404 |
|
and raise an exception in out-of-memory situations |
405 |
|
- unsafe extensions to cast between function pointers and pointers |
406 |
|
from/to ints |
407 |
|
- added structure C_Debug as an alternative to structure C where |
408 |
|
pointer-dereferencing (|*| and |*!) always check for null-pointers |
409 |
|
- added open_lib' to DynLinkage; open_lib' works like open_lib |
410 |
|
but also takes a (possibly empty) list of existing library handles |
411 |
|
that the current library depends on |
412 |
|

1. Updates to portable graph code. |
420 |

|
421 |
|
2. Major update to ml-nlffigen and ml-nlffi-lib. Things are much |
422 |
|
more scalable now so that even huge interfaces such as the one |
423 |
|
for GTK compile in finite time and space. :-) |

Description: |

432 |
|
Removed the native COPY and FCOPY instructions |
433 |
|
from all the architectures and replaced it with the |
434 |
|
explicit COPY instruction from the previous commit. |
435 |
|
|
436 |
|
It is now possible to simplify many of the optimizations |
437 |
|
modules that manipulate copies. This has not been |
438 |
|
done in this change. |

Tag: george-20011206-mlrisc-instruction |
444 |
|
Description: |
445 |
|
|
446 |
|
Changed the representation of instructions from being fully abstract |
447 |
|
to being partially concrete. That is to say: |
448 |
|
|
449 |
|
from |
450 |
|
type instruction |
451 |
|
|
452 |
|
to |
453 |
|
type instr (* machine instruction *) |
454 |
|
|
455 |
|
datatype instruction = |
456 |
|
LIVE of {regs: C.cellset, spilled: C.cellset} |
457 |
|
| KILL of {regs: C.cellset, spilled: C.cellset} |
458 |
|
| COPYXXX of {k: CB.cellkind, dst: CB.cell list, src: CB.cell list} |
459 |
|
| ANNOTATION of {i: instruction, a: Annotations.annotation} |
460 |
|
| INSTR of instr |
461 |
|
|
462 |
|
This makes the handling of certain special instructions that appear on |
463 |
|
all architectures easier and uniform. |
464 |
|
|
465 |
|
LIVE and KILL say that a list of registers are live or killed at the |
466 |
|
program point where they appear. No spill code is generated when an |
467 |
|
element of the 'regs' field is spilled, but the register is moved to |
468 |
|
the 'spilled' (which is present, more for debugging than anything else). |
469 |
|
|
470 |
|
LIVE replaces the (now deprecated) DEFFREG instruction on the alpha. |
471 |
|
We used to generate: |
472 |
|
|
473 |
|
DEFFREG f1 |
474 |
|
f1 := f2 + f3 |
475 |
|
trapb |
476 |
|
|
477 |
|
but now generate: |
478 |
|
|
479 |
|
f1 := f2 + f3 |
480 |
|
trapb |
481 |
|
LIVE {regs=[f1,f2,f3], spilled=[]} |
482 |
|
|
483 |
|
Furthermore, the DEFFREG (hack) required that all floating point instruction |
484 |
|
use all registers mentioned in the instruction. Therefore f1 := f2 + f3, |
485 |
|
defines f1 and uses [f1,f2,f3]! This hack is no longer required resulting |
486 |
|
in a cleaner alpha implementation. (Hopefully, intel will not get rid of |
487 |
|
this architecture). |
488 |
|
|
489 |
|
COPYXXX is intended to replace the parallel COPY and FCOPY available on |
490 |
|
all the architectures. This will result in further simplification of the |
491 |
|
register allocator that must be aware of them for coalescing purposes, and |
492 |
|
will also simplify certain aspects of the machine description that provides |
493 |
|
callbacks related to parallel copies. |
494 |
|
|
495 |
|
ANNOTATION should be obvious, and now INSTR represents the honest to God |
496 |
|
machine instruction set! |
497 |
|
|
498 |
|
The <arch>/instructions/<arch>Instr.sml files define certain utility |
499 |
|
functions for making porting easier -- essentially converting upper case |
500 |
|
to lower case. All machine instructions (of type instr) are in upper case, |
501 |
|
and the lower case form generates an MLRISC instruction. For example on |
502 |
|
the alpha we have: |
503 |
|
|
504 |
|
datatype instr = |
505 |
|
LDA of {r:cell, b:cell, d:operand} |
506 |
|
| ... |
507 |
|
|
508 |
|
val lda : {r:cell, b:cell, d:operand} -> instruction |
509 |
|
... |
510 |
|
|
511 |
|
where lda is just (INSTR o LDA), etc. |

549 |
|
1. Modifications to the SML/NJ code generator and to the runtime system |
550 |
|
so that code object name strings are directly inserted into code |
551 |
|
objects at code generation time. The only business the runtime system |
552 |
|
has with this is now to read the name strings on occasions. |
553 |
|
(The encoding of the name string has also changed somewhat.) |
554 |
|
|
555 |
|
2. CM now implements a simple "set calculus" for specifying export lists. |
556 |
|
In particular, it is now possible to refer to the export lists of |
557 |
|
other libraries/groups/sources and form unions as well as differences. |
558 |
|
See the latest CM manual for details. |
559 |
|
|
560 |
|
3. An separate notion of "proxy" libraries has again be eliminated from |
561 |
|
CM's model. (Proxy libraries are now simply a special case of using |
562 |
|
the export list calculus.) |
563 |
|
|
564 |
|
4. Some of the existing libraries now take advantage of the new set |
565 |
|
calculus. |
566 |
|
(Notice that not all libraries have been converted because some |
567 |
|
of the existing .cm-files are supposed to be backward compatible |
568 |
|
with 110.0.x.) |
569 |
|
|
570 |
|
5. Some cleanup in stand-alone programs. (Don't use "exnMessage" -- use |
571 |
|
"General.exnMessage"! The former relies on a certain hook to be |
572 |
|
initialized, and that often does not happen in the stand-alone case.) |

Implemented a complete redesign of MLRISC pseudo-ops. Now there |

ought to never be any question of incompatabilities with |
582 |
|
pseudo-op syntax expected by host assemblers. |
583 |
|
|
584 |
|
For now, only modules supporting GAS syntax are implemented |
585 |
|
but more should follow, such as MASM, and vendor assembler |
586 |
|
syntax, e.g. IBM as, Sun as, etc. |

Fix for a backpatching bug reported by Allen. |
609 |
|
|
610 |
|
Because the boundary between short and long span-dependent |
611 |
|
instructions is +/- 128, there are an astounding number of |
612 |
|
span-dependent instructions whose size is over estimated. |
613 |
|
|
614 |
|
Allen came up with the idea of letting the size of span |
615 |
|
dependent instructions be non-monotonic, for a maxIter |
616 |
|
number of times, after which the size must be monotonically |
617 |
|
increasing. |
618 |
|
|
619 |
|
This table shows the number of span-dependent instructions |
620 |
|
whose size was over-estimated as a function of maxIter, for the |
621 |
|
file Parse/parse/ml.grm.sml: |
622 |
|
|
623 |
|
maxIter # of instructions: |
624 |
|
10 687 |
625 |
|
20 438 |
626 |
|
30 198 |
627 |
|
40 0 |
628 |
|
|
629 |
|
In compiling the compiler, there is no significant difference in |
630 |
|
compilation speed between maxIter=10 and maxIter=40. Actually, |
631 |
|
my measurements showed that maxIter=40 was a tad faster than |
632 |
|
maxIter=10! Also 96% of the files in the compiler reach a fix |
633 |
|
point within 13 iterations, so fixing maxIter at 40, while high, |
634 |
|
is okay. |

667 |
|
* fixed bug in handling of function types involving incomplete pointers |

I provided a non-hook implementation of exnName (at the toplevel) and |
728 |
|
made the "dummy" implementation of exnMessage (at the toplevel) more |
729 |
|
useful: if nothing gets "hooked in", then at least you are going to |
730 |
|
see the exception name and a message indicating why you don't see more. |
731 |
|
|
732 |
|
[For the time being, programs that need exnMessage and want to use |
733 |
|
ml-build should either use General.exnMessage (strongly recommended) or |
734 |
|
refer to structure General at some other point so that CM sees a |
735 |
|
static dependency.] |
736 |
|
|

[Similar remarks go for "print" and "use": If you want to use their |
738 |

functionality in stand-alone programs generated by ml-build, then use |
739 |
|
TextIO.output and Backend.Interact.useFile (from $smlnj/compiler.cm).] |

John committed some changes that Allen made, in particular a (hopefully) |
799 |
|
correctly working version of the x86-fp module. |
800 |
|
|
801 |
|
I changed the default setting of the Control.MLRISC.getFlag "x86-fast-fp" |
802 |
|
flag to "true". Everything seems to compile to a fixpoint ok, and |
803 |
|
"mandelbrot" speeds up by about 15%. |

1. Stefan Monnier's patch to fix a miscompilation problem that |
812 |
|
was brought to light by John Reppy's work on Moby. |
813 |
|
|
814 |
|
2. Implemented a minimal "structure Compiler" that contains just |
815 |
|
"version" and "architecture". The minimal version will be |
816 |
|
available when the full version is not. This is for backward- |
817 |
|
compatibility with code that wants to test Compiler.version. |

!!!! NEW BOOTFILES !!!! |
878 |
|
|
879 |
|
This is another round of reorganizing the compiler sources. This |
880 |
|
time the main goal was to factor out all the "instrumentation" |
881 |
|
passes (for profiling and backtracing) into their own library. |
882 |
|
The difficulty was to do it in such a way that it does not depend |
883 |
|
on elaborate.cm but only on elabdata.cm. |
884 |
|
|
885 |
|
Therefore there have been further changes to both elaborate.cm and |
886 |
|
elabdata.cm -- more "generic" things have been moved from the former |
887 |
|
to the latter. As a result, I was forced to split the assignment |
888 |
|
of numbers indicating "primtyc"s into two portions: SML-generic and |
889 |
|
SML/NJ-specific. Since it would have been awkward to maintain, |
890 |
|
I bit the bullet and actually _changed_ the mapping between these |
891 |
|
numbers and primtycs. The bottom line of this is that you need |
892 |
|
a new set of bin- and bootfiles. |
893 |
|
|
894 |
|
I have built new bootfiles for all architectures, so doing a fresh |
895 |
|
checkout and config/install.sh should be all you need. |
896 |
|
|
897 |
|
The newly created library's name is |
898 |
|
|
899 |
|
$smlnj/viscomp/debugprof.cm |
900 |
|
|
901 |
|
and its sources live under |
902 |

Description: |

|
|
911 |
|
This is a first cut at reorganizing the CM libraries that make up the |
912 |
|
core of the compiler. The idea is to separate out pieces that could |
913 |
|
be used independently by tools, e.g., the parser, the typechecker, etc. |
914 |
|
|
915 |
|
The current status is a step in this direction, but it is not quite |
916 |
|
satisfactory yet. Expect more changes in the future. |
917 |
|
|
918 |
|
Here is the current (new) organization... |
919 |
|
|
920 |
|
What used to be $smlnj/viscomp/core.cm is now divided into |
921 |
|
six CM libraries: |
922 |
|
|
923 |
|
$smlnj/viscomp/basics.cm |
924 |
|
/parser.cm |
925 |
|
/elabdata.cm |
926 |
|
/elaborate.cm |
927 |
|
/execute.cm |
928 |
|
/core.cm |
929 |
|
|
930 |
|
The CM files for these libraries live under src/system/smlnj/viscomp. |
931 |
|
All these libraries are proxy libraries that contain precisely |
932 |
|
one CM library component. Here are the locations of the components |
933 |
|
(all within the src/compiler tree): |
934 |
|
|
935 |
|
Basics/basics.cm |
936 |
|
Parse/parser.cm |
937 |
|
ElabData/elabdata.cm |
938 |
|
Elaborator/elaborate.cm |
939 |
|
Execution/execute.cm |
940 |
|
core.cm |
941 |
|
|
942 |
|
[This organization is the same that has been used already |
943 |
|
for a while for the architecture-specific parts of the visible |
944 |
|
compiler and for the old version of core.cm.] |
945 |
|
|
946 |
|
As you will notice, many source files have been moved from their |
947 |
|
respective original locations to a new home in one of the above |
948 |
|
subtrees. |
949 |
|
|
950 |
|
The division of labor between the new libraries is the following: |
951 |
|
|
952 |
|
basics.cm: |
953 |
|
- Simple, basic definitions that pertain to many (or all) of |
954 |
|
the other libraries. |
955 |
|
parser.cm: |
956 |
|
- The SML parser, producing output of type Ast.dec. |
957 |
|
- The type family for Ast is also defined and exported here. |
958 |
|
elabdata.cm: |
959 |
|
- The datatypes that describe input and output of the elaborator. |
960 |
|
This includes types, absyn, and static environments. |
961 |
|
elaborator.cm: |
962 |
|
- The SML/NJ type checker and elaborator. |
963 |
|
This maps an Ast.dec (with a given static environment) to |
964 |
|
an Absyn.dec (with a new static environment). |
965 |
|
- This libraries implements certain modules that used to be |
966 |
|
structures as functors (to remove dependencies on FLINT). |
967 |
|
execute.cm: |
968 |
|
- Everything having to do with executing binary code objects. |
969 |
|
- Dynamic environments. |
970 |
|
core.cm: |
971 |
|
- SML/NJ-specific instantiations of the elaborator and MLRISC. |
972 |
|
- Top-level modules. |
973 |
|
- FLINT (this should eventually become its own library) |
974 |
|
|
975 |
|
Notes: |
976 |
|
|
977 |
|
I am not 100% happy with the way I separated the elaborator (and its |
978 |
|
data structures) from FLINT. Two instances of the same problem: |
979 |
|
|
980 |
|
1. Data structures contain certain fields that carry FLINT-specific |
981 |
|
information. I hacked around this using exn and the property list |
982 |
|
module from smlnj-lib. But the fact that there are middle-end |
983 |
|
specific fields around at all is a bit annoying. |
984 |
|
|
985 |
|
2. The elaborator calculates certain FLINT-related information. I tried |
986 |
|
to make this as abstract as I could using functorization, but, again, |
987 |
|
the fact that the elaborator has to perform calculations on behalf |
988 |
|
of the middle-end at all is not nice. |
989 |
|
|
990 |
|
3. Having to used exn and property lists is unfortunate because it |
991 |
|
weakens type checking. The other alternative (parameterizing |
992 |
|
nearly *everything*) is not appealing, though. |
993 |
|
|
994 |
|
I removed the "rebinding =" warning hack because due to the new organization |
995 |
|
it was awkward to maintain it. As a result, the compiler now issues some of |
996 |
|
these warnings when compiling init.cmi during bootstrap compilation. On |
997 |
|
the plus side, you also get a warning when you do, for example: |
998 |
|
val op = = Int32.+ |
999 |
|
which was not the case up to now. |
1000 |
|
|
1001 |
|
I placed "assign" and "deref" into the _Core structure so that the |
1002 |
|
code that deals with the "lazy" keyword can find them there. This |
1003 |
|
removes the need for having access to the primitive environment |
1004 |
|
during elaboration. |

I have dramatically simplified the interface for CELLS in MLRISC. |
1032 |
|
|
1033 |
|
In summary, the cells interface is broken up into three parts: |
1034 |
|
|
1035 |
|
1. CellsBasis : CELLS_BASIS |
1036 |
|
|
1037 |
|
CellsBasis is a top level structure and common for all |
1038 |
|
architectures. it contains the definitions of basic datatypes |
1039 |
|
and utility functions over these types. |
1040 |
|
|
1041 |
|
2. functor Cells() : CELLS |
1042 |
|
|
1043 |
|
Cells generates an interface for CELLS that incorporates the |
1044 |
|
specific resources on the target architecture, such as the |
1045 |
|
presence of special register classes, their number and size, |
1046 |
|
and various useful substructures. |
1047 |
|
|
1048 |
|
3. <ARCH>CELLS |
1049 |
|
|
1050 |
|
e.g. SparcCells: SPARCCELLS |
1051 |
|
|
1052 |
|
<ARCH>CELLS usually contains additional bindings for special |
1053 |
|
registers on the architecture, such as: |
1054 |
|
|
1055 |
|
val r0 : cell (* register zero *) |
1056 |
|
val y : cell (* Y register *) |
1057 |
|
val psr : cell (* processor status register *) |
1058 |
|
... |
1059 |
|
|
1060 |
|
The structure returned by applying the Cells functor is opened |
1061 |
|
in this interface. |
1062 |
|
|
1063 |
|
The main implication of all this is that the datatypes for cells is |
1064 |
|
split between CellsBasis and CELLS -- a fairly simple change for user |
1065 |
|
code. |
1066 |
|
|
1067 |
|
In the old scheme the CELLS interface had a definitional binding of |
1068 |
|
the form: |
1069 |
|
|
1070 |
|
signature CELLS = sig |
1071 |
|
|
1072 |
|
structure CellsBasis = CellsBasis |
1073 |
|
|
1074 |
|
... |
1075 |
|
|
1076 |
|
end |
1077 |
|
|
1078 |
|
With all the sharing constraints that goes on in MLRISC, this old |
1079 |
|
design quickly leads to errors such as: |
1080 |
|
|
1081 |
|
"structure definition spec inside of sharing ... " |
1082 |
|
|
1083 |
|
|
1084 |
|
and appears to require an unacceptable amount of sharing and where |
1085 |
|
constraint hackery. |
1086 |
|
|
1087 |
|
I think this error message (the interaction of definitional specs and |
1088 |
|
sharing) requires more explanation on our web page. |

|
This update puts together a fairly extensive but straightforward change |
1097 |
|
to the way the libraries that implement the interactive system are |
1098 |
|
organized: |
1099 |
|
|
1100 |
|
The biggest change is the elimination of structure Compiler. As a |
1101 |
|
replacement for this structure, there is now a CM library |
1102 |
|
(known as $smlnj/compiler.cm or $smlnj/compiler/current.cm) |
1103 |
|
that exports all the substructures of the original structure Compiler |
1104 |
|
directly. So instead of saying Compiler.Foo.bar one now simply |
1105 |
|
says Foo.bar. (The CM libraries actually export a collection of |
1106 |
|
structures that is richer than the collection of substructures of |
1107 |
|
structure Compiler.) |
1108 |
|
|
1109 |
|
To make the transition smooth, there is a separate library called |
1110 |
|
$smlnj/compiler/compiler.cm which puts together and exports the |
1111 |
|
original structure Compiler (or at least something very close to it). |
1112 |
|
|
1113 |
|
There are five members of the original structure Compiler |
1114 |
|
that are not exported directly but which instead became members |
1115 |
|
of a new structure Backend (described by signature BACKEND). These are: |
1116 |
|
structure Profile (: PROFILE), structure Compile (: COMPILE), structure |
1117 |
|
Interact (: INTERACT), structure Machine (: MACHINE), and val |
1118 |
|
architecture (: string). |
1119 |
|
|
1120 |
|
Structure Compiler.Version has become structure CompilerVersion. |
1121 |
|
|
1122 |
|
Cross-compilers for alpha32, hppa, ppc, sparc, and x86 are provided |
1123 |
|
by $smlnj/compiler/<arch>.cm where <arch> is alpha32, hppa, ppc, sparc, |
1124 |
|
or x86, respectively. |
1125 |
|
Each of these exports the same frontend structures that |
1126 |
|
$smlnj/compiler.cm exports. But they do not have a structure Backend |
1127 |
|
and instead export some structure <Arch>Backend where <Arch> is Alpha32, |
1128 |
|
Hppa, PPC, Sparc, or X86, respectively. |
1129 |
|
|
1130 |
|
Library $smlnj/compiler/all.cm exports the union of the exports of |
1131 |
|
$smlnj/compiler/<arch>.cm |
1132 |
|
|
1133 |
|
There are no structures <Arch>Compiler anymore, use |
1134 |
|
$smlnj/compiler/<arch>.cm instead. |
1135 |
|
|
1136 |
|
Library host-compiler-0.cm is gone. Instead, the internal library |
1137 |
|
that instantiates CM is now called cm0.cm. Selection of the host |
1138 |
|
compiler (backend) is no longer done here but. (Responsibility for it |
1139 |
|
now lies with $smlnj/compiler/current.cm. This seems to be more |
1140 |
|
logical.) |
1141 |
|
|
1142 |
|
Many individual files have been moved or renamed. Some files have |
1143 |
|
been split into multiple files, and some "dead" files have been deleted. |
1144 |
|
|
1145 |
|
Aside from these changes to library organization, there are also changes |
1146 |
|
to the way the code itself is organized: |
1147 |
|
|
1148 |
|
Structure Binfile has been re-implemented in such a way that it no |
1149 |
|
longer needs any knowledge of the compiler. It exclusively deals |
1150 |
|
with the details of binfile layout. It no longer invokes the |
1151 |
|
compiler (for the purpose of creating new prospective binfile |
1152 |
|
content), and it no longer has any knowledge of how to interpret |
1153 |
|
pickles. |
1154 |
|
|
1155 |
|
Structure Compile (: COMPILE) has been stripped down to the bare |
1156 |
|
essentials of compilation. It no longer deals with linking/execution. |
1157 |
|
The interface has been cleaned up considerably. |
1158 |
|
|
1159 |
|
Utility routines for dealing with linking and execution have been |
1160 |
|
moved into their own substructures. |
1161 |
|
|
1162 |
|
(The ultimate goal of these changes is to provide a light-weight |
1163 |
|
binfile loader/linker (at least for, e.g., stable libraries) that |
1164 |
|
does not require CM or the compiler to be present.) |
1165 |
|
|
1166 |
|
CM documentation has been updated to reflect the changes to library |
1167 |
|
organization. |

Tag: blume-20010709-more-varargs |
1192 |
|
Description: |
1193 |
|
|
1194 |
|
I changed the handling of varargs in ml-nlffigen again: |
1195 |
|
The ellipsis ... will now simply be ignored (with an accompanying warning). |
1196 |
|
|
1197 |
|
The immediate effect is that you can actually call a varargs function |
1198 |
|
from ML -- but you can't actually supply any arguments beyond the ones |
1199 |
|
specified explicitly. (For example, you can call printf with its format |
1200 |
|
string, but you cannot pass additional arguments.) |
1201 |
|
|
1202 |
|
This behavior is only marginally more useful than the one before, but |
1203 |
|
it has the advantage that a function or, more importantly, a function |
1204 |
|
type never gets dropped on the floor, thus avoiding follow-up problems with |
1205 |
|
other types that refer to the offending one. |

Description: |

|
|
1213 |
|
1. ckit-lib.cm now exports structure Error |
1214 |
|
2. ml-nlffigen reports occurences of "..." (i.e., varargs function types) |
1215 |
|
with a warning accompanied by a source location. Moreover, it |
1216 |
|
merely skips the offending function or type and proceeds with the |
1217 |
|
rest of its work.u As a result, one can safely feed C code containing |
1218 |
|
"..." to ml-nlffigen. |
1219 |
|
3. There are some internal improvements to CM, providing slightly |
1220 |
|
more general string substitutions in the tools subsystem. |

Description: |
1227 |
|
|
1228 |
|
Fixed a small bug in CM's handling of parallel compilation. |
1229 |
|
(You could observe the bug by Control-C-interrupting an ordinary |
1230 |
|
CMB.make or CM.stabilize and then attaching some compile servers. |
1231 |
|
The result was that all of a sudden the previously interrupted |
1232 |
|
compilation would continue on its own. This was because of |
1233 |
|
an over-optimization: CM did not bother to clean out certain queues |
1234 |
|
when no servers were attached "anyway", resulting in the contents |
1235 |
|
of these queues to grab control when new servers did get attached.) |
1236 |
|
|
1237 |
|
There is also another minor update to the CM manual. |

1262 |
|
This update fixes a number of minor bugs in ml-nlffigen as reported by |
1263 |
|
Nick Carter <nbc@andrew.cmu.edu>. |
1264 |
|
|
1265 |
|
1. Silly but ok typedefs of the form "typedef void myvoid;" are now accepted. |
1266 |
|
2. Default names for generated files are now derived from the name of |
1267 |
|
the C file *without its directory*. In particular, this causes generated |
1268 |
|
files to be placed locally even if the C file is in some system directory. |
1269 |
|
3. Default names for generated signatures and structures are also derived |
1270 |
|
from the C file name without its directory. This avoids silly things |
1271 |
|
like "structure GL/GL". |
1272 |
|
(Other silly names are still possible because ml-nlffigen does not do |
1273 |
|
a thorough check of whether generated names are legal ML identifiers. |
1274 |
|
When in doubt, use command line arguments to force particular names.) |

Here is a short late-hour update related to Sparc c-calls: |
1336 |
|
|
1337 |
|
-- made handling of double-word arguments a bit smarter |
1338 |
|
|
1339 |
|
-- instruction selection phase tries to collapse certain clumsily |
1340 |
|
constructed ML-Trees; typical example: |
1341 |
|
|
1342 |
|
ADD(ty,ADD(_,e,LI d1),LI d2) -> ADD(ty,e,LI(d1+d2)) |
1343 |
|
|
1344 |
|
This currently has no further impact on SML/NJ since mlriscGen does |
1345 |
|
not seem to generate such patterns in the first place, and c-calls |
1346 |
|
(which did generate them in the beginning) has meanwhile been fixed |
1347 |
|
so as to avoid them as well. |

|
Description: |
1354 |
|
|
1355 |
|
The purpose of this update is to provide an implementation of NLFFI |
1356 |
|
on Sparc machines. |
1357 |
|
|
1358 |
|
Here are the changes in detail: |
1359 |
|
|
1360 |
|
* src/MLRISC/sparc/c-calls/sparc-c-calls.sml is a new file containing |
1361 |
|
the Sparc implementation of the c-calls API. |
1362 |
|
* The Sparc backend of SML/NJ has been modified to uniformely use %fp |
1363 |
|
for accessing the ML frame. Thus, we have a real frame pointer and |
1364 |
|
can freely modify %sp without need for an omit-frame-ptr phase. |
1365 |
|
The vfp logic in src/compiler/CodeGen/* has been changed to accomodate |
1366 |
|
this case. |
1367 |
|
* ml-nlffigen has been taught to produce code for different architectures |
1368 |
|
and calling conventions. |
1369 |
|
* In a way similar to what was done in the x86 case, the Sparc |
1370 |
|
backend uses its own specific extension to mltree. (For example, |
1371 |
|
it needs to be able to generate UNIMP instructions which are part |
1372 |
|
of the calling convention.) |
1373 |
|
* ml-nlffi-lib was reorganized to make it more modular (in particular, |
1374 |
|
to make it easier to plug in new machine- and os-dependent parts). |
1375 |
|
|
1376 |
|
There are some other fairly unrelated bug fixes and cleanups as well: |
1377 |
|
|
1378 |
|
* I further hacked the .cm files for MLRISC tools (like MDLGen) so |
1379 |
|
that they properly share their libraries with existing SML/NJ libraries. |
1380 |
|
* I fixed a minor cosmetic bug in CM, supressing certain spurious |
1381 |
|
follow-up error messages. |
1382 |
|
* Updates to CM/CMB documentation. |
1383 |
|
|
1384 |
|
TODO items: |
1385 |
|
|
1386 |
|
* MLRISC should use a different register as its asmTemp on the Sparc. |
1387 |
|
(The current %o2 is a really bad choice because it is part of the |
1388 |
|
calling conventions, so things might interfere in unexpected ways.) |

1396 |
|
A number of internal changes related to C calls and calling conventions: |
1397 |
|
|
1398 |
|
1. ML-Tree CALL statements now carry a "pops" field. It indicates the |
1399 |
|
number of bytes popped implicitly (by the callee). In most cases |
1400 |
|
this field is 0 but on x86/win32 it is some non-zero value. This |
1401 |
|
is information provided for the benefit of the "omit-frameptr" pass. |
1402 |
|
2. The CALL instruction on the x86 carries a similar "pops" field. |
1403 |
|
The instruction selection phase copies its value from the ML-Tree |
1404 |
|
CALL statement. |
1405 |
|
3. On all other architectures, the instruction selection phase checks |
1406 |
|
whether "pops=0" and complains if not. |
1407 |
|
4. The c-calls implementation for x86 now accepts two calling conventions: |
1408 |
|
"ccall" and "stdcall". When "ccall" is selected, the caller cleans |
1409 |
|
up after the call and pops is set to 0. For "stdcall", the caller |
1410 |
|
does nothing, leaving the cleanup to the callee; pops is set to |
1411 |
|
the number of bytes that were pushed onto the stack. |
1412 |
|
5. The cproto decoder (compiler/Semant/types/cproto.sml) now can |
1413 |
|
distinguish between "ccall" and "stdcall". |
1414 |
|
6. The UNIMP instruction has been added to the supported Sparc instruction |
1415 |
|
set. (This is needed for implementing the official C calling convention |
1416 |
|
on this architecture.) |
1417 |
|
7. I fixed some of the .cm files under src/MLRISC/Tools to make them |
1418 |
|
work with the latest CM. |
1419 |
|
|

0. The "lambdasplit" parameter for class "sml" in CM has been documented. |
1427 |
|
|
1428 |
|
1. CM can now generate "index files". These are human-readable files |
1429 |
|
that list on a per-.cm-file basis each toplevel symbol defined or |
1430 |
|
imported. The location of the index file for |
1431 |
|
<p>/<d>.cm is <p>/CM/INDEX/<d>.cm. |
1432 |
|
To enable index-file generation, set CM.Control.generate_index to true |
1433 |
|
or export an environment-symbol: export CM_GENERATE_INDEX=true. |
1434 |
|
|
1435 |
|
The CM manual has been updated accordingly. |
1436 |
|
|
1437 |
|
2. I made some slight modifications to the c-calls API in MLRISC. |
1438 |
|
|
1439 |
|
a) There is now a callback to support saving/restoring of |
1440 |
|
dedicated but caller-save registers around the actual call |
1441 |
|
instruction. |
1442 |
|
b) One can optionally specify a comment-annotation for the |
1443 |
|
call instruction. |
1444 |
|
|
1445 |
|
3. SML/NJ (mlriscGen.sml) uses this new API for the rawccall primop. |
1446 |
|
(For example, the comment annotation shows the C prototype of |
1447 |
|
the function being called.) |

Some bugs in install script fixed. |

|
1520 |
|
In addition to that I also made a slight change to the NLFFI API: |
1521 |
|
Functors generated by ml-nlffigen now take the dynamic library as a |
1522 |
|
straight functor argument, not as a suspended one. (The original |
1523 |
|
functor code used to force the suspension right away anyway, so there |
1524 |
|
was nothing gained by this complication of the interface.) |

I finally took the plunge and added my new FFI code to the main |
1533 |
|
repository. For x86-linux it is now ready for prime-time. |
1534 |
|
|
1535 |
|
There are two new subdirectories of "src": |
1536 |
|
|
1537 |
|
- ml-nlffi-lib: |
1538 |
|
The utility library for programs using the FFI interface. |
1539 |
|
Here is the implementation of $/c.cm and its associated low-level |
1540 |
|
partners $/c-int.cm and $/memory.cm. |
1541 |
|
- ml-nlffigen: |
1542 |
|
A stand-alone program for generating ML glue code from C source |
1543 |
|
code. |
1544 |
|
|
1545 |
|
Building ml-nlffigen requires $/ckit-lib.cm. |
1546 |
|
|
1547 |
|
The config/install.sh script has been updates to do the Right Thing |
1548 |
|
(hopefully). |
1549 |
|
|
1550 |
|
Notice that the source tree for the C-Kit will not be put under "src" |
1551 |
|
but directly under the installation root directory. (This is the |
1552 |
|
structure that currently exists on the CVS server when you check out |
1553 |
|
module "sml".) Fortunately, config/install.sh knows about this oddity. |

I made into "proxy libraries" all libraries that qualify for such a |
1585 |
|
change. (A qualifying library is a library that has another library or |
1586 |
|
groups as its sole member and repeats that member's export list |
1587 |
|
verbatim. A proxy library avoids this repetition by omitting its export |
1588 |
|
list, effectively inheriting the list that its (only) member exports. |
1589 |
|
See the CM manual for more explanation.) |
1590 |
|
The main effect is that explicit export lists for these libraries |
1591 |
|
do not have to be kepts in sync, making maintenance a bit easier. |
1592 |
|
|
1593 |
|
I also added copyright notices to many .cm-files. |
1594 |
|
|
1595 |
|
Last but not least, I made a new set of bootfiles. |

1. Allen's previous change accidentally backed out of one of Lal's |
1606 |
|
earlier changes. I undid this mistake (re-introducing Lal's change). |
1607 |
|
|
1608 |
|
2. I used the new topOrder' function from graph-scc.sml (from $/smlnj-lib.cm) |
1609 |
|
within the compiler where applicable. There is some code simplification |
1610 |
|
because of that. |
1611 |
|
|
1612 |
|
3. The "split" phase (in FLINT) is now part of the default list of phases. |
1613 |
|
Compiler.Control.LambdaSplitting.* can be used to globally control the |
1614 |
|
lambda-splitting (cross-module-inlining) engine. In addition to that, |
1615 |
|
it can now also be controlled on a per-source basis: CM has been taught |
1616 |
|
a new tool parameter applicable to ML source files. |
1617 |
|
|
1618 |
|
- To turn lambda-splitting off completely: |
1619 |
|
local open Compiler.Control.LambdaSplitting in |
1620 |
|
val _ = set Off |
1621 |
|
end |
1622 |
|
- To make "no lambda-splitting" the global default (but allow per-source |
1623 |
|
overriding); this is the initial setting: |
1624 |
|
local open Compiler.Control.LambdaSplitting in |
1625 |
|
val _ = set (Default NONE) |
1626 |
|
end |
1627 |
|
- To make "lambda-splitting with aggressiveness a" the global default |
1628 |
|
(and allow per-source overriding): |
1629 |
|
local open Compiler.Control.LambdaSplitting in |
1630 |
|
val _ = set (Default (SOME a)) |
1631 |
|
end |
1632 |
|
|
1633 |
|
- To turn lambda-splitting off for a given ML souce file (say: a.sml) |
1634 |
|
write (in the respective .cm-file): |
1635 |
|
a.sml (lambdasplitting:off) |
1636 |
|
- To turn lambda-splitting for a.sml on with minimal aggressiveness: |
1637 |
|
a.sml (lambdasplitting:on) |
1638 |
|
- To turn lambda-splitting for a.sml on with aggressiveness <a> (where |
1639 |
|
<a> is a decimal non-negative integer): |
1640 |
|
a.sml (lambdasplitting:<a>) |
1641 |
|
- To turn lambda-splitting for a.sml on with maximal aggressiveness: |
1642 |
|
a.sml (lambdasplitting:infinity) |
1643 |
|
- To use the global default for a.sml: |
1644 |
|
a.sml (lambdasplitting:default) |
1645 |
|
or simply |
1646 |
|
a.sml |

Description: |

|
|
1740 |
|
Parallel make (using compile servers) now works again. |
1741 |
|
|
1742 |
|
To this end, CM.stabilize and CMB.make have been modified to work in |
1743 |
|
two passes when compile servers are attached: |
1744 |
|
1. Compile everything, do not perform stabilization; this pass |
1745 |
|
uses compile servers |
1746 |
|
2. Stabilize everything; this pass does not use compile servers |
1747 |
|
If there are no compile servers, the two passes are combined into one |
1748 |
|
(as before). Splitting the passes increases the inherent parallelism |
1749 |
|
in the dependency graph because the entire graph including all |
1750 |
|
libraries is available at the same time. This, in turn, improves |
1751 |
|
server utilization. The downside is that the master process will |
1752 |
|
have to do some extra work after compilation is done (because for |
1753 |
|
technical reasons it must re-read all the binfiles during stabilization). |
