Two improvements to ml-nlffigen: |
22 |
|
|
23 |
|
1. Write files only if they do not exist or if their current contents |
24 |
|
do not coincide with what's being written. (That is, avoid messing |
25 |
|
with the time stamps unless absolutely necessary.) |
26 |
|
|
27 |
|
2. Implement a "repository" mechanism for generated files related |
28 |
|
to "incomplete pointer types". See the README file for details. |

Added a type 't t_' to tag.sml (in ml-nlffi-lib.cm). This is required |
37 |
|
because of the new and improved tag generation scheme. (Thanks to Allen |
38 |

Fixed the MLRISC bug sent by Markus Wenzel regarding the compilation |
47 |
|
of Isabelle on the x86. |
48 |
|
|
49 |
|
From Allen: |
50 |
|
----------- |
51 |
|
I've found the problem: |
52 |
|
|
53 |
|
in ra-core.sml, I use the counter "blocked" to keep track of the |
54 |
|
true number of elements in the freeze queue. When the counter goes |
55 |
|
to zero, I skip examining the queue. But I've messed up the |
56 |
|
bookkeeping in combine(): |
57 |
|
|
58 |
|
else (); |
59 |
|
case !ucol of |
60 |
|
PSEUDO => (if !cntv > 0 then |
61 |
|
(if !cntu > 0 then blocked := !blocked - 1 else (); |
62 |
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ |
63 |
|
moveu := mergeMoveList(!movev, !moveu) |
64 |
|
) |
65 |
|
else (); |
66 |
|
|
67 |
|
combine() is called to coalesce two nodes u and v. |
68 |
|
I think I was thinking that if the move counts of u and v are both |
69 |
|
greater than zero then after they are coalesced then one node is |
70 |
|
removed from the freeze queue. Apparently I was thinking that |
71 |
|
both u and v are of low degree, but that's clearly not necessarily true. |
72 |
|
|
73 |
|
|
74 |
|
02/12/2002: |
75 |
|
Here's the patch. HOL now compiles. |
76 |
|
|
77 |
|
I don't know how this impact on performance (compile |
78 |
|
time or runtime). This bug caused the RA (especially on the x86) |
79 |
|
to go thru the potential spill phase when there are still nodes on the |
80 |
|
freeze queue. |

1. More tweaks to ml-nlffigen: |
111 |
|
|
112 |
|
- better internal datastructures (resulting in slight speedup) |
113 |
|
- "-match" option requires exact match |
114 |
|
- "localized" gensym counters (untagged structs/unions nested within |
115 |
|
other structs/unions or within typedefs get a fresh counter; their |
116 |
|
tag will be prefixed by a concatenation of their parents' tags) |
117 |
|
- bug fixes (related to calculation of transitive closure of types |
118 |
|
to be included in the output) |
119 |
|
|
120 |
|
2. Minor Basis updates: |
121 |
|
|
122 |
|
- added implementations for List.collate and Option.app |

Added a "-gensym" option to command line of ml-nlffigen. This can be |
131 |
|
used to specify a "stem" -- a string that is inserted in all "gensym'd" |
132 |
|
names (ML structure names that correspond to unnamed C structs, unions, |
133 |
|
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): |
142 |
|
Make generation of toplevel "local" optional. (Strictly speaking, |
143 |
|
signature definitions within "local" are not legal SML.) |
144 |
|
|
145 |

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

0. Version number has been bumped to 110.38.1. NEW BOOTFILES!!! |
154 |
|
|
155 |
|
1. The installer (config/install.sh) has gotten smarter: |
156 |
|
|
157 |
|
- Configuration options are a bit easier to specify now |
158 |
|
(in config/targets). |
159 |
|
- Bug in recognizing .tar.bz2 files fixed. |
160 |
|
- Installer automatically resolves dependencies between |
161 |
|
configuration options (e.g., if you ask for eXene, you will |
162 |
|
also get cml -- regardless whether you asked for it or not). |
163 |
|
- Installer can run in "quieter mode" by setting the environment |
164 |
|
variable INSTALL_QUIETLY to "true". "Quieter" does not mean |
165 |
|
"completely silent", though. |
166 |
|
- Build HashCons library as part of smlnj-lib. |
167 |
|
|
168 |
|
2. A new scheme for assigning persistent identifiers to compilation |
169 |
|
units (and, by extension, to types etc.) has been put into place. |
170 |
|
This fixes a long-standing bug where types and even dynamic values |
171 |
|
can get internally confused, thereby compromising type safety |
172 |
|
(abstraction) and dynamic correctness. See |
173 |
|
|
174 |
|
http://cm.bell-labs.com/cm/cs/who/blume/pid-confusion.tgz |
175 |
|
|
176 |
|
for an example of how things could go wrong until now. |
177 |
|
|
178 |
|
The downside of the new scheme is that pids are not quite as |
179 |
|
persistent as they used to be: CM will generate a fresh pid |
180 |
|
for every compilation unit that it thinks it sees for the first |
181 |
|
time. That means that if you compile starting from a clean, fresh |
182 |
|
source tree at two different times, you end up with different |
183 |
|
binaries. |
184 |
|
|
185 |
|
Cutoff recompilation, however, has not been compromised because |
186 |
|
CM keeps pid information in special caches between runs. |

Compilers that generate assembly code may produce global labels |

1. A bug fix from Allen. |
209 |
|
|
210 |
|
A typo causes extra fstp %st(0)'s to be generated at compensation |
211 |
|
edges, which might cause stack underflow traps at runtime. This |
212 |
|
occurs in fft where there are extraneous fstps right before the 'into' |
213 |
|
trap instruction (in this case they are harmless since none of the |
214 |
|
integers overflow.) |
215 |
|
|
216 |
|
2. Pulled out various utility modules that were embedded in the modules |
217 |
|
of the register allocator. I need these modules for other purposes, but |
218 |
|
they are not complete enough to put into a library (just yet). |

Another day of fiddling with the FFI... |
367 |
|
|
368 |
|
1. Bug fix/workaround: CKIT does not complain about negative array |
369 |
|
dimensions, so ml-nlffigen has to guard itself against this possibility. |
370 |
|
(Otherwise a negative dimension would send it into an infinite loop.) |
371 |
|
|
372 |
|
2. Some of the abstract types (light objects, light pointers, most "base" |
373 |
|
types) in structure C are now eqtypes. |
374 |
|
|
375 |
|
3. Added constructors and test functions for NULL function pointers. |

Today's FFI fiddling: |
395 |
|
|
396 |
|
- Provided a structure CGetSet with "convenient" versions of C.Get.* and |
397 |
|
C.Set.* that use concrete (MLRep.*) arguments and results instead |
398 |
|
of abstract ones. |
399 |
|
|
400 |
|
- Provided word-style bit operations etc. for "int" representation |
401 |
|
types in MLRep.S<Foo>Bitops where <Foo> ranges over Char, Int, Short, |
402 |
|
and Long. |

Now that x86-fast-fp seems to be working, I turned it back on again |
411 |
|
by default. (Seems to work fine now, even with the FFI.) |
412 |

|
413 |

Other than that, I added some documentation about the FFI to |
414 |

More fiddling with the FFI interface: |
438 |
|
|
439 |
|
- Make constness 'c instead of rw wherever possible. This eliminates |
440 |
|
the need for certain explicit coercions. (However, due to ML's |
441 |
|
value polymorphism, there will still be many cases where explicit |
442 |
|
coercions are necessary. Phantom types are not the whole answer |
443 |
|
to modeling a subtyping relationship in ML.) |
444 |
|
|
445 |
|
- ro/rw coersions for pointers added. (Avoids the detour through */&.) |
446 |
|
|
447 |
|
- "printf" test example added to src/ml-nlffi-lib/Tests. (Demonstrates |
448 |
|
clumsy workaround for varargs problem.) |

470 |
|
|
471 |
|
2. Small modifications to C FFI API: |
472 |
|
|
473 |
|
- memory-allocation routines return straight objects (no options) |
474 |
|
and raise an exception in out-of-memory situations |
475 |
|
- unsafe extensions to cast between function pointers and pointers |
476 |
|
from/to ints |
477 |
|
- added structure C_Debug as an alternative to structure C where |
478 |
|
pointer-dereferencing (|*| and |*!) always check for null-pointers |
479 |
|
- added open_lib' to DynLinkage; open_lib' works like open_lib |
480 |
|
but also takes a (possibly empty) list of existing library handles |
481 |
|
that the current library depends on |

514 |
|
Description: |
515 |
|
|
516 |
|
Changed the representation of instructions from being fully abstract |
517 |
|
to being partially concrete. That is to say: |
518 |
|
|
519 |
|
from |
520 |
|
type instruction |
521 |
|
|
522 |
|
to |
523 |
|
type instr (* machine instruction *) |
524 |
|
|
525 |
|
datatype instruction = |
526 |
|
LIVE of {regs: C.cellset, spilled: C.cellset} |
527 |
|
| KILL of {regs: C.cellset, spilled: C.cellset} |
528 |
|
| COPYXXX of {k: CB.cellkind, dst: CB.cell list, src: CB.cell list} |
529 |
|
| ANNOTATION of {i: instruction, a: Annotations.annotation} |
530 |
|
| INSTR of instr |
531 |
|
|
532 |
|
This makes the handling of certain special instructions that appear on |
533 |
|
all architectures easier and uniform. |
534 |
|
|
535 |
|
LIVE and KILL say that a list of registers are live or killed at the |
536 |
|
program point where they appear. No spill code is generated when an |
537 |
|
element of the 'regs' field is spilled, but the register is moved to |
538 |
|
the 'spilled' (which is present, more for debugging than anything else). |
539 |
|
|
540 |
|
LIVE replaces the (now deprecated) DEFFREG instruction on the alpha. |
541 |
|
We used to generate: |
542 |
|
|
543 |
|
DEFFREG f1 |
544 |
|
f1 := f2 + f3 |
545 |
|
trapb |
546 |
|
|
547 |
|
but now generate: |
548 |
|
|
549 |
|
f1 := f2 + f3 |
550 |
|
trapb |
551 |
|
LIVE {regs=[f1,f2,f3], spilled=[]} |
552 |
|
|
553 |
|
Furthermore, the DEFFREG (hack) required that all floating point instruction |
554 |
|
use all registers mentioned in the instruction. Therefore f1 := f2 + f3, |
555 |
|
defines f1 and uses [f1,f2,f3]! This hack is no longer required resulting |
556 |
|
in a cleaner alpha implementation. (Hopefully, intel will not get rid of |
557 |
|
this architecture). |
558 |
|
|
559 |
|
COPYXXX is intended to replace the parallel COPY and FCOPY available on |
560 |
|
all the architectures. This will result in further simplification of the |
561 |
|
register allocator that must be aware of them for coalescing purposes, and |
562 |
|
will also simplify certain aspects of the machine description that provides |
563 |
|
callbacks related to parallel copies. |
564 |
|
|
565 |
|
ANNOTATION should be obvious, and now INSTR represents the honest to God |
566 |
|
machine instruction set! |
567 |
|
|
568 |
|
The <arch>/instructions/<arch>Instr.sml files define certain utility |
569 |
|
functions for making porting easier -- essentially converting upper case |
570 |
|
to lower case. All machine instructions (of type instr) are in upper case, |
571 |
|
and the lower case form generates an MLRISC instruction. For example on |
572 |
|
the alpha we have: |
573 |
|
|
574 |
|
datatype instr = |
575 |
|
LDA of {r:cell, b:cell, d:operand} |
576 |
|
| ... |
577 |
|
|
578 |
|
val lda : {r:cell, b:cell, d:operand} -> instruction |
579 |
|
... |
580 |
|
|
581 |
|
where lda is just (INSTR o LDA), etc. |

|
1. Modifications to the SML/NJ code generator and to the runtime system |
620 |
|
so that code object name strings are directly inserted into code |
621 |
|
objects at code generation time. The only business the runtime system |
622 |
|
has with this is now to read the name strings on occasions. |
623 |
|
(The encoding of the name string has also changed somewhat.) |
624 |
|
|
625 |
|
2. CM now implements a simple "set calculus" for specifying export lists. |
626 |
|
In particular, it is now possible to refer to the export lists of |
627 |
|
other libraries/groups/sources and form unions as well as differences. |
628 |
|
See the latest CM manual for details. |
629 |
|
|
630 |
|
3. An separate notion of "proxy" libraries has again be eliminated from |
631 |
|
CM's model. (Proxy libraries are now simply a special case of using |
632 |
|
the export list calculus.) |
633 |
|
|
634 |
|
4. Some of the existing libraries now take advantage of the new set |
635 |
|
calculus. |
636 |
|
(Notice that not all libraries have been converted because some |
637 |
|
of the existing .cm-files are supposed to be backward compatible |
638 |
|
with 110.0.x.) |
639 |
|
|
640 |
|
5. Some cleanup in stand-alone programs. (Don't use "exnMessage" -- use |
641 |
|
"General.exnMessage"! The former relies on a certain hook to be |
642 |
|
initialized, and that often does not happen in the stand-alone case.) |

Fix for a backpatching bug reported by Allen. |
679 |
|
|
680 |
|
Because the boundary between short and long span-dependent |
681 |
|
instructions is +/- 128, there are an astounding number of |
682 |
|
span-dependent instructions whose size is over estimated. |
683 |
|
|
684 |
|
Allen came up with the idea of letting the size of span |
685 |
|
dependent instructions be non-monotonic, for a maxIter |
686 |
|
number of times, after which the size must be monotonically |
687 |
|
increasing. |
688 |
|
|
689 |
|
This table shows the number of span-dependent instructions |
690 |
|
whose size was over-estimated as a function of maxIter, for the |
691 |
|
file Parse/parse/ml.grm.sml: |
692 |
|
|
693 |
|
maxIter # of instructions: |
694 |
|
10 687 |
695 |
|
20 438 |
696 |
|
30 198 |
697 |
|
40 0 |
698 |
|
|
699 |
|
In compiling the compiler, there is no significant difference in |
700 |
|
compilation speed between maxIter=10 and maxIter=40. Actually, |
701 |
|
my measurements showed that maxIter=40 was a tad faster than |
702 |
|
maxIter=10! Also 96% of the files in the compiler reach a fix |
703 |
|
point within 13 iterations, so fixing maxIter at 40, while high, |
704 |
|
is okay. |

Description: |

|

|
I provided a non-hook implementation of exnName (at the toplevel) and |
798 |
|
made the "dummy" implementation of exnMessage (at the toplevel) more |
799 |
|
useful: if nothing gets "hooked in", then at least you are going to |
800 |
|
see the exception name and a message indicating why you don't see more. |
801 |
|
|
802 |
|
[For the time being, programs that need exnMessage and want to use |
803 |
|
ml-build should either use General.exnMessage (strongly recommended) or |
804 |
|
refer to structure General at some other point so that CM sees a |
805 |
|
static dependency.] |
806 |
|
|
807 |
|
[Similar remarks go for "print" and "use": If you want to use their |
808 |
|
functionality in stand-alone programs generated by ml-build, then use |
809 |
|
TextIO.output and Backend.Interact.useFile (from $smlnj/compiler.cm).] |

0. Updated the BOOT file (something that I forgot to do earlier). |
826 |
|
|
827 |
|
1. Small internal change to CM so that it avoids "/../" in filenames |
828 |
|
as much as possible (but only where it is safe). |
829 |
|
|
830 |
|
2. Changed config/_run-sml (resulting in a changed bin/.run-sml) so |
831 |
|
that arguments that contain delimiters are passed through correctly. |
832 |
|
This change also means that all "special" arguments of the form |
833 |
|
@SMLxxx... must come first. |

!!!! NEW BOOTFILES !!!! |
948 |
|
|
949 |
|
This is another round of reorganizing the compiler sources. This |
950 |
|
time the main goal was to factor out all the "instrumentation" |
951 |
|
passes (for profiling and backtracing) into their own library. |
952 |
|
The difficulty was to do it in such a way that it does not depend |
953 |
|
on elaborate.cm but only on elabdata.cm. |
954 |
|
|
955 |
|
Therefore there have been further changes to both elaborate.cm and |
956 |
|
elabdata.cm -- more "generic" things have been moved from the former |
957 |
|
to the latter. As a result, I was forced to split the assignment |
958 |
|
of numbers indicating "primtyc"s into two portions: SML-generic and |
959 |
|
SML/NJ-specific. Since it would have been awkward to maintain, |
960 |
|
I bit the bullet and actually _changed_ the mapping between these |
961 |
|
numbers and primtycs. The bottom line of this is that you need |
962 |
|
a new set of bin- and bootfiles. |
963 |
|
|
964 |
|
I have built new bootfiles for all architectures, so doing a fresh |
965 |
|
checkout and config/install.sh should be all you need. |
966 |
|
|
967 |
|
The newly created library's name is |
968 |
|
|
969 |
|
$smlnj/viscomp/debugprof.cm |
970 |
|
|
971 |
|
and its sources live under |
972 |
|
|

Description: |
980 |
|
|
981 |
|
This is a first cut at reorganizing the CM libraries that make up the |
982 |
|
core of the compiler. The idea is to separate out pieces that could |
983 |
|
be used independently by tools, e.g., the parser, the typechecker, etc. |
984 |
|
|
985 |
|
The current status is a step in this direction, but it is not quite |
986 |
|
satisfactory yet. Expect more changes in the future. |
987 |
|
|
988 |
|
Here is the current (new) organization... |
989 |
|
|
990 |
|
What used to be $smlnj/viscomp/core.cm is now divided into |
991 |
|
six CM libraries: |
992 |
|
|
993 |
|
$smlnj/viscomp/basics.cm |
994 |
|
/parser.cm |
995 |
|
/elabdata.cm |
996 |
|
/elaborate.cm |
997 |
|
/execute.cm |
998 |
|
/core.cm |
999 |
|
|
1000 |
|
The CM files for these libraries live under src/system/smlnj/viscomp. |
1001 |
|
All these libraries are proxy libraries that contain precisely |
1002 |
|
one CM library component. Here are the locations of the components |
1003 |
|
(all within the src/compiler tree): |
1004 |
|
|
1005 |
|
Basics/basics.cm |
1006 |
|
Parse/parser.cm |
1007 |
|
ElabData/elabdata.cm |
1008 |
|
Elaborator/elaborate.cm |
1009 |
|
Execution/execute.cm |
1010 |
|
core.cm |
1011 |
|
|
1012 |
|
[This organization is the same that has been used already |
1013 |
|
for a while for the architecture-specific parts of the visible |
1014 |
|
compiler and for the old version of core.cm.] |
1015 |
|
|
1016 |
|
As you will notice, many source files have been moved from their |
1017 |
|
respective original locations to a new home in one of the above |
1018 |
|
subtrees. |
1019 |
|
|
1020 |
|
The division of labor between the new libraries is the following: |
1021 |
|
|
1022 |
|
basics.cm: |
1023 |
|
- Simple, basic definitions that pertain to many (or all) of |
1024 |
|
the other libraries. |
1025 |
|
parser.cm: |
1026 |
|
- The SML parser, producing output of type Ast.dec. |
1027 |
|
- The type family for Ast is also defined and exported here. |
1028 |
|
elabdata.cm: |
1029 |
|
- The datatypes that describe input and output of the elaborator. |
1030 |
|
This includes types, absyn, and static environments. |
1031 |
|
elaborator.cm: |
1032 |
|
- The SML/NJ type checker and elaborator. |
1033 |
|
This maps an Ast.dec (with a given static environment) to |
1034 |
|
an Absyn.dec (with a new static environment). |
1035 |
|
- This libraries implements certain modules that used to be |
1036 |
|
structures as functors (to remove dependencies on FLINT). |
1037 |
|
execute.cm: |
1038 |
|
- Everything having to do with executing binary code objects. |
1039 |
|
- Dynamic environments. |
1040 |
|
core.cm: |
1041 |
|
- SML/NJ-specific instantiations of the elaborator and MLRISC. |
1042 |
|
- Top-level modules. |
1043 |
|
- FLINT (this should eventually become its own library) |
1044 |
|
|
1045 |
|
Notes: |
1046 |
|
|
1047 |
|
I am not 100% happy with the way I separated the elaborator (and its |
1048 |
|
data structures) from FLINT. Two instances of the same problem: |
1049 |
|
|
1050 |
|
1. Data structures contain certain fields that carry FLINT-specific |
1051 |
|
information. I hacked around this using exn and the property list |
1052 |
|
module from smlnj-lib. But the fact that there are middle-end |
1053 |
|
specific fields around at all is a bit annoying. |
1054 |
|
|
1055 |
|
2. The elaborator calculates certain FLINT-related information. I tried |
1056 |
|
to make this as abstract as I could using functorization, but, again, |
1057 |
|
the fact that the elaborator has to perform calculations on behalf |
1058 |
|
of the middle-end at all is not nice. |
1059 |
|
|
1060 |
|
3. Having to used exn and property lists is unfortunate because it |
1061 |
|
weakens type checking. The other alternative (parameterizing |
1062 |
|
nearly *everything*) is not appealing, though. |
1063 |
|
|
1064 |
|
I removed the "rebinding =" warning hack because due to the new organization |
1065 |
|
it was awkward to maintain it. As a result, the compiler now issues some of |
1066 |
|
these warnings when compiling init.cmi during bootstrap compilation. On |
1067 |
|
the plus side, you also get a warning when you do, for example: |
1068 |
|
val op = = Int32.+ |
1069 |
|
which was not the case up to now. |
1070 |
|
|
1071 |
|
I placed "assign" and "deref" into the _Core structure so that the |
1072 |
|
code that deals with the "lazy" keyword can find them there. This |
1073 |
|
removes the need for having access to the primitive environment |
1074 |
|
during elaboration. |

Description: |

|
|
1101 |
|
I have dramatically simplified the interface for CELLS in MLRISC. |
1102 |
|
|
1103 |
|
In summary, the cells interface is broken up into three parts: |
1104 |
|
|
1105 |
|
1. CellsBasis : CELLS_BASIS |
1106 |
|
|
1107 |
|
CellsBasis is a top level structure and common for all |
1108 |
|
architectures. it contains the definitions of basic datatypes |
1109 |
|
and utility functions over these types. |
1110 |
|
|
1111 |
|
2. functor Cells() : CELLS |
1112 |
|
|
1113 |
|
Cells generates an interface for CELLS that incorporates the |
1114 |
|
specific resources on the target architecture, such as the |
1115 |
|
presence of special register classes, their number and size, |
1116 |
|
and various useful substructures. |
1117 |
|
|
1118 |
|
3. <ARCH>CELLS |
1119 |
|
|
1120 |
|
e.g. SparcCells: SPARCCELLS |
1121 |
|
|
1122 |
|
<ARCH>CELLS usually contains additional bindings for special |
1123 |
|
registers on the architecture, such as: |
1124 |
|
|
1125 |
|
val r0 : cell (* register zero *) |
1126 |
|
val y : cell (* Y register *) |
1127 |
|
val psr : cell (* processor status register *) |
1128 |
|
... |
1129 |
|
|
1130 |
|
The structure returned by applying the Cells functor is opened |
1131 |
|
in this interface. |
1132 |
|
|
1133 |
|
The main implication of all this is that the datatypes for cells is |
1134 |
|
split between CellsBasis and CELLS -- a fairly simple change for user |
1135 |
|
code. |
1136 |
|
|
1137 |
|
In the old scheme the CELLS interface had a definitional binding of |
1138 |
|
the form: |
1139 |
|
|
1140 |
|
signature CELLS = sig |
1141 |
|
|
1142 |
|
structure CellsBasis = CellsBasis |
1143 |
|
|
1144 |
|
... |
1145 |
|
|
1146 |
|
end |
1147 |
|
|

With all the sharing constraints that goes on in MLRISC, this old |
1149 |
|
design quickly leads to errors such as: |
1150 |
|
|
1151 |
|
"structure definition spec inside of sharing ... " |
1152 |
|
|
1153 |
|
|
1154 |
|
and appears to require an unacceptable amount of sharing and where |
1155 |
|
constraint hackery. |
1156 |
|
|
1157 |
|
I think this error message (the interaction of definitional specs and |
1158 |
|
sharing) requires more explanation on our web page. |

Description: |
1165 |
|
|
1166 |
|
This update puts together a fairly extensive but straightforward change |
1167 |
|
to the way the libraries that implement the interactive system are |
1168 |
|
organized: |
1169 |
|
|
1170 |
|
The biggest change is the elimination of structure Compiler. As a |
1171 |
|
replacement for this structure, there is now a CM library |
1172 |
|
(known as $smlnj/compiler.cm or $smlnj/compiler/current.cm) |
1173 |
|
that exports all the substructures of the original structure Compiler |
1174 |
|
directly. So instead of saying Compiler.Foo.bar one now simply |
1175 |
|
says Foo.bar. (The CM libraries actually export a collection of |
1176 |
|
structures that is richer than the collection of substructures of |
1177 |
|
structure Compiler.) |
1178 |
|
|
1179 |
|
To make the transition smooth, there is a separate library called |
1180 |
|
$smlnj/compiler/compiler.cm which puts together and exports the |
1181 |
|
original structure Compiler (or at least something very close to it). |
1182 |
|
|
1183 |
|
There are five members of the original structure Compiler |
1184 |
|
that are not exported directly but which instead became members |
1185 |
|
of a new structure Backend (described by signature BACKEND). These are: |
1186 |
|
structure Profile (: PROFILE), structure Compile (: COMPILE), structure |
1187 |
|
Interact (: INTERACT), structure Machine (: MACHINE), and val |
1188 |
|
architecture (: string). |
1189 |
|
|
1190 |
|
Structure Compiler.Version has become structure CompilerVersion. |
1191 |
|
|
1192 |
|
Cross-compilers for alpha32, hppa, ppc, sparc, and x86 are provided |
1193 |
|
by $smlnj/compiler/<arch>.cm where <arch> is alpha32, hppa, ppc, sparc, |
1194 |
|
or x86, respectively. |
1195 |
|
Each of these exports the same frontend structures that |
1196 |
|
$smlnj/compiler.cm exports. But they do not have a structure Backend |
1197 |
|
and instead export some structure <Arch>Backend where <Arch> is Alpha32, |
1198 |
|
Hppa, PPC, Sparc, or X86, respectively. |
1199 |
|
|
1200 |
|
Library $smlnj/compiler/all.cm exports the union of the exports of |
1201 |
|
$smlnj/compiler/<arch>.cm |
1202 |
|
|
1203 |
|
There are no structures <Arch>Compiler anymore, use |
1204 |
|
$smlnj/compiler/<arch>.cm instead. |
1205 |
|
|
1206 |
|
Library host-compiler-0.cm is gone. Instead, the internal library |
1207 |
|
that instantiates CM is now called cm0.cm. Selection of the host |
1208 |
|
compiler (backend) is no longer done here but. (Responsibility for it |
1209 |
|
now lies with $smlnj/compiler/current.cm. This seems to be more |
1210 |
|
logical.) |
1211 |
|
|
1212 |
|
Many individual files have been moved or renamed. Some files have |
1213 |
|
been split into multiple files, and some "dead" files have been deleted. |
1214 |
|
|
1215 |
|
Aside from these changes to library organization, there are also changes |
1216 |
|
to the way the code itself is organized: |
1217 |
|
|
1218 |
|
Structure Binfile has been re-implemented in such a way that it no |
1219 |
|
longer needs any knowledge of the compiler. It exclusively deals |
1220 |
|
with the details of binfile layout. It no longer invokes the |
1221 |
|
compiler (for the purpose of creating new prospective binfile |
1222 |
|
content), and it no longer has any knowledge of how to interpret |
1223 |
|
pickles. |
1224 |
|
|
1225 |
|
Structure Compile (: COMPILE) has been stripped down to the bare |
1226 |
|
essentials of compilation. It no longer deals with linking/execution. |
1227 |
|
The interface has been cleaned up considerably. |
1228 |
|
|
1229 |
|
Utility routines for dealing with linking and execution have been |
1230 |
|
moved into their own substructures. |
1231 |
|
|
1232 |
|
(The ultimate goal of these changes is to provide a light-weight |
1233 |
|
binfile loader/linker (at least for, e.g., stable libraries) that |
1234 |
|
does not require CM or the compiler to be present.) |
1235 |
|
|
1236 |
|
CM documentation has been updated to reflect the changes to library |
1237 |
|
organization. |

Tag: blume-20010709-more-varargs |
1262 |
|
Description: |
1263 |
|
|
1264 |
|
I changed the handling of varargs in ml-nlffigen again: |
1265 |
|
The ellipsis ... will now simply be ignored (with an accompanying warning). |
1266 |
|
|
1267 |
|
The immediate effect is that you can actually call a varargs function |
1268 |
|
from ML -- but you can't actually supply any arguments beyond the ones |
1269 |
|
specified explicitly. (For example, you can call printf with its format |
1270 |
|
string, but you cannot pass additional arguments.) |
1271 |
|
|
1272 |
|
This behavior is only marginally more useful than the one before, but |
1273 |
|
it has the advantage that a function or, more importantly, a function |
1274 |
|
type never gets dropped on the floor, thus avoiding follow-up problems with |
1275 |
|
other types that refer to the offending one. |

Description: |

|
1. ckit-lib.cm now exports structure Error |
1284 |
|
2. ml-nlffigen reports occurences of "..." (i.e., varargs function types) |
1285 |
|
with a warning accompanied by a source location. Moreover, it |
1286 |
|
merely skips the offending function or type and proceeds with the |
1287 |
|
rest of its work.u As a result, one can safely feed C code containing |
1288 |
|
"..." to ml-nlffigen. |
1289 |
|
3. There are some internal improvements to CM, providing slightly |
1290 |
|
more general string substitutions in the tools subsystem. |

Description: |

|

1298 |
|
Fixed a small bug in CM's handling of parallel compilation. |
1299 |
|
(You could observe the bug by Control-C-interrupting an ordinary |
1300 |
|
CMB.make or CM.stabilize and then attaching some compile servers. |
1301 |
|
The result was that all of a sudden the previously interrupted |
1302 |
|
compilation would continue on its own. This was because of |
1303 |
|
an over-optimization: CM did not bother to clean out certain queues |
1304 |
|
when no servers were attached "anyway", resulting in the contents |
1305 |
|
of these queues to grab control when new servers did get attached.) |
1306 |
|
|
1307 |
|
There is also another minor update to the CM manual. |

Description: |

|
1332 |
|
This update fixes a number of minor bugs in ml-nlffigen as reported by |
1333 |
|
Nick Carter <nbc@andrew.cmu.edu>. |
1334 |
|
|
1335 |
|
1. Silly but ok typedefs of the form "typedef void myvoid;" are now accepted. |
1336 |
|
2. Default names for generated files are now derived from the name of |
1337 |
|
the C file *without its directory*. In particular, this causes generated |
1338 |
|
files to be placed locally even if the C file is in some system directory. |
1339 |
|
3. Default names for generated signatures and structures are also derived |
1340 |
|
from the C file name without its directory. This avoids silly things |
1341 |
|
like "structure GL/GL". |
1342 |
|
(Other silly names are still possible because ml-nlffigen does not do |
1343 |
|
a thorough check of whether generated names are legal ML identifiers. |
1344 |
|
When in doubt, use command line arguments to force particular names.) |
