Description: |

21 |
|
The purpose of this update is to provide an implementation of NLFFI |
22 |
|
on Sparc machines. |
23 |
|
|
24 |
|
Here are the changes in detail: |
25 |
|
|
26 |
|
* src/MLRISC/sparc/c-calls/sparc-c-calls.sml is a new file containing |
27 |
|
the Sparc implementation of the c-calls API. |
28 |
|
* The Sparc backend of SML/NJ has been modified to uniformely use %fp |
29 |
|
for accessing the ML frame. Thus, we have a real frame pointer and |
30 |
|
can freely modify %sp without need for an omit-frame-ptr phase. |
31 |
|
The vfp logic in src/compiler/CodeGen/* has been changed to accomodate |
32 |
|
this case. |
33 |
|
* ml-nlffigen has been taught to produce code for different architectures |
34 |
|
and calling conventions. |
35 |
|
* In a way similar to what was done in the x86 case, the Sparc |
36 |
|
backend uses its own specific extension to mltree. (For example, |
37 |
|
it needs to be able to generate UNIMP instructions which are part |
38 |
|
of the calling convention.) |
39 |
|
* ml-nlffi-lib was reorganized to make it more modular (in particular, |
40 |
|
to make it easier to plug in new machine- and os-dependent parts). |
41 |
|
|
42 |
|
There are some other fairly unrelated bug fixes and cleanups as well: |
43 |
|
|
44 |
|
* I further hacked the .cm files for MLRISC tools (like MDLGen) so |
45 |
|
that they properly share their libraries with existing SML/NJ libraries. |
46 |
|
* I fixed a minor cosmetic bug in CM, supressing certain spurious |
47 |
|
follow-up error messages. |
48 |
|
* Updates to CM/CMB documentation. |
49 |
|
|
50 |
|
TODO items: |
51 |
|
|
52 |
|
* MLRISC should use a different register as its asmTemp on the Sparc. |
53 |
|
(The current %o2 is a really bad choice because it is part of the |
54 |
|
calling conventions, so things might interfere in unexpected ways.) |

Description: |

|
|
62 |
|
A number of internal changes related to C calls and calling conventions: |
63 |
|
|
64 |
|
1. ML-Tree CALL statements now carry a "pops" field. It indicates the |
65 |
|
number of bytes popped implicitly (by the callee). In most cases |
66 |
|
this field is 0 but on x86/win32 it is some non-zero value. This |
67 |
|
is information provided for the benefit of the "omit-frameptr" pass. |
68 |
|
2. The CALL instruction on the x86 carries a similar "pops" field. |
69 |
|
The instruction selection phase copies its value from the ML-Tree |
70 |
|
CALL statement. |
71 |
|
3. On all other architectures, the instruction selection phase checks |
72 |
|
whether "pops=0" and complains if not. |
73 |
|
4. The c-calls implementation for x86 now accepts two calling conventions: |
74 |
|
"ccall" and "stdcall". When "ccall" is selected, the caller cleans |
75 |
|
up after the call and pops is set to 0. For "stdcall", the caller |
76 |
|
does nothing, leaving the cleanup to the callee; pops is set to |
77 |
|
the number of bytes that were pushed onto the stack. |
78 |
|
5. The cproto decoder (compiler/Semant/types/cproto.sml) now can |
79 |
|
distinguish between "ccall" and "stdcall". |
80 |
|
6. The UNIMP instruction has been added to the supported Sparc instruction |
81 |
|
set. (This is needed for implementing the official C calling convention |
82 |
|
on this architecture.) |
83 |
|
7. I fixed some of the .cm files under src/MLRISC/Tools to make them |
84 |
|
work with the latest CM. |
85 |

90 |
|
Description: |
91 |
|
|
92 |
|
0. The "lambdasplit" parameter for class "sml" in CM has been documented. |
93 |
|
|
94 |
|
1. CM can now generate "index files". These are human-readable files |
95 |
|
that list on a per-.cm-file basis each toplevel symbol defined or |
96 |
|
imported. The location of the index file for |
97 |
|
<p>/<d>.cm is <p>/CM/INDEX/<d>.cm. |
98 |
|
To enable index-file generation, set CM.Control.generate_index to true |
99 |
|
or export an environment-symbol: export CM_GENERATE_INDEX=true. |
100 |
|
|
101 |
|
The CM manual has been updated accordingly. |
102 |
|
|
103 |
|
2. I made some slight modifications to the c-calls API in MLRISC. |
104 |
|
|
105 |
|
a) There is now a callback to support saving/restoring of |
106 |
|
dedicated but caller-save registers around the actual call |
107 |
|
instruction. |
108 |
|
b) One can optionally specify a comment-annotation for the |
109 |
|
call instruction. |
110 |
|
|
111 |
|
3. SML/NJ (mlriscGen.sml) uses this new API for the rawccall primop. |
112 |
|
(For example, the comment annotation shows the C prototype of |
113 |
|
the function being called.) |

|
121 |
|
This is mostly a cleanup of MLFFI stuff: |
122 |
|
|
123 |
|
- some signature files have been put into a more exposed place |
124 |
|
- the ugly 'f type parameter is gone (simplifies types tremendously!) |
125 |
|
- ml-nlffigen changed accordingly |
126 |
|
- tutorial updated |
127 |
|
|
128 |
|
Other changes: |
129 |
|
|
130 |
|
- author's affiliation in CM manual(s) updated |
131 |
|
- some more recognized keywords added to Allen's sml.sty |

141 |
|
- fixed a small bug related to incomplete pointer types in |
142 |
|
ml-nlffigen |
143 |
|
- small cosmetic change to the ml-nlffi-lib's "arr" type constructor |

|
Made install.sh use file config/targets.customized if it exists, falling |
161 |
|
back to config/targets if it doesn't. This way one can have a customized |
162 |
|
version of the targets file without touching the "real thing", thus |
163 |
|
eliminating the constant fear of accidentally checking something bogus |
164 |
|
back into the CVS repository... (File config/targets.customized must |
165 |
|
not be added to the repository!) |

Some bugs in install script fixed. |
185 |
|
|
186 |
|
In addition to that I also made a slight change to the NLFFI API: |
187 |
|
Functors generated by ml-nlffigen now take the dynamic library as a |
188 |
|
straight functor argument, not as a suspended one. (The original |
189 |
|
functor code used to force the suspension right away anyway, so there |
190 |
|
was nothing gained by this complication of the interface.) |

I finally took the plunge and added my new FFI code to the main |
199 |
|
repository. For x86-linux it is now ready for prime-time. |
200 |
|
|
201 |
|
There are two new subdirectories of "src": |
202 |
|
|
203 |
|
- ml-nlffi-lib: |
204 |
|
The utility library for programs using the FFI interface. |
205 |
|
Here is the implementation of $/c.cm and its associated low-level |
206 |
|
partners $/c-int.cm and $/memory.cm. |
207 |
|
- ml-nlffigen: |
208 |
|
A stand-alone program for generating ML glue code from C source |
209 |
|
code. |
210 |
|
|
211 |
|
Building ml-nlffigen requires $/ckit-lib.cm. |
212 |
|
|
213 |
|
The config/install.sh script has been updates to do the Right Thing |
214 |
|
(hopefully). |
215 |
|
|
216 |
|
Notice that the source tree for the C-Kit will not be put under "src" |
217 |
|
but directly under the installation root directory. (This is the |
218 |
|
structure that currently exists on the CVS server when you check out |
219 |
|
module "sml".) Fortunately, config/install.sh knows about this oddity. |
220 |

248 |
|
Description: |
249 |
|
|
250 |
|
I made into "proxy libraries" all libraries that qualify for such a |
251 |
|
change. (A qualifying library is a library that has another library or |
252 |
|
groups as its sole member and repeats that member's export list |
253 |
|
verbatim. A proxy library avoids this repetition by omitting its export |
254 |
|
list, effectively inheriting the list that its (only) member exports. |
255 |
|
See the CM manual for more explanation.) |
256 |
|
The main effect is that explicit export lists for these libraries |
257 |
|
do not have to be kepts in sync, making maintenance a bit easier. |
258 |
|
|
259 |
|
I also added copyright notices to many .cm-files. |
260 |
|
|
261 |
|
Last but not least, I made a new set of bootfiles. |

0. John merged pending changes to $/smlnj-lib.cm |
270 |
|
|
271 |
|
1. Allen's previous change accidentally backed out of one of Lal's |
272 |
|
earlier changes. I undid this mistake (re-introducing Lal's change). |
273 |
|
|
274 |
|
2. I used the new topOrder' function from graph-scc.sml (from $/smlnj-lib.cm) |
275 |
|
within the compiler where applicable. There is some code simplification |
276 |
|
because of that. |
277 |
|
|
278 |
|
3. The "split" phase (in FLINT) is now part of the default list of phases. |
279 |
|
Compiler.Control.LambdaSplitting.* can be used to globally control the |
280 |
|
lambda-splitting (cross-module-inlining) engine. In addition to that, |
281 |
|
it can now also be controlled on a per-source basis: CM has been taught |
282 |
|
a new tool parameter applicable to ML source files. |
283 |
|
|
284 |
|
- To turn lambda-splitting off completely: |
285 |
|
local open Compiler.Control.LambdaSplitting in |
286 |
|
val _ = set Off |
287 |
|
end |
288 |
|
- To make "no lambda-splitting" the global default (but allow per-source |
289 |
|
overriding); this is the initial setting: |
290 |
|
local open Compiler.Control.LambdaSplitting in |
291 |
|
val _ = set (Default NONE) |
292 |
|
end |
293 |
|
- To make "lambda-splitting with aggressiveness a" the global default |
294 |
|
(and allow per-source overriding): |
295 |
|
local open Compiler.Control.LambdaSplitting in |
296 |
|
val _ = set (Default (SOME a)) |
297 |
|
end |
298 |
|
|
299 |
|
- To turn lambda-splitting off for a given ML souce file (say: a.sml) |
300 |
|
write (in the respective .cm-file): |
301 |
|
a.sml (lambdasplitting:off) |
302 |
|
- To turn lambda-splitting for a.sml on with minimal aggressiveness: |
303 |
|
a.sml (lambdasplitting:on) |
304 |
|
- To turn lambda-splitting for a.sml on with aggressiveness <a> (where |
305 |
|
<a> is a decimal non-negative integer): |
306 |
|
a.sml (lambdasplitting:<a>) |
307 |
|
- To turn lambda-splitting for a.sml on with maximal aggressiveness: |
308 |
|
a.sml (lambdasplitting:infinity) |
309 |
|
- To use the global default for a.sml: |
310 |
|
a.sml (lambdasplitting:default) |
311 |
|
or simply |
312 |
|
a.sml |

404 |
|
Description: |
405 |
|
|
406 |
|
Parallel make (using compile servers) now works again. |
407 |
|
|
408 |
|
To this end, CM.stabilize and CMB.make have been modified to work in |
409 |
|
two passes when compile servers are attached: |
410 |
|
1. Compile everything, do not perform stabilization; this pass |
411 |
|
uses compile servers |
412 |
|
2. Stabilize everything; this pass does not use compile servers |
413 |
|
If there are no compile servers, the two passes are combined into one |
414 |
|
(as before). Splitting the passes increases the inherent parallelism |
415 |
|
in the dependency graph because the entire graph including all |
416 |
|
libraries is available at the same time. This, in turn, improves |
417 |
|
server utilization. The downside is that the master process will |
418 |
|
have to do some extra work after compilation is done (because for |
419 |
|
technical reasons it must re-read all the binfiles during stabilization). |

Description: |

|
|
535 |
|
This is a fairly big patch, flushing out a large number of pending |
536 |
|
changes that I made to my development copy over the last couple of days. |
537 |
|
|
538 |
|
Of practical relevance at this moment is a workaround for a pickling |
539 |
|
bug that Allen ran into the other day. The cause of the bug itself is |
540 |
|
still unknown and it might be hard to fix it properly, but the |
541 |
|
workaround has some merits of its own (namely somewhat reducing pickling |
542 |
|
overhead for certain libraries). Therefore, I think this solution should |
543 |
|
be satisfactory at this time. |
544 |
|
|
545 |
|
The rest of the changes (i.e., the vast majority) has to do with my |
546 |
|
ongoing efforts of providing direct support for C function calls from |
547 |
|
ML. At the moment there is a new primop "RAW_CCALL", typing magic |
548 |
|
in types/cproto.sml (invoked from FLINT/trans/translate.sml), a new |
549 |
|
case in the FLINT CPS datatype (RCC), changes to cps/convert.sml to |
550 |
|
translate uses of RAW_CCALL into RCC, and changes to mlriscGen.sml to |
551 |
|
handle RCC. |
552 |
|
|
553 |
|
The last part (the changes to mlriscGen.sml) are still known to be |
554 |
|
wrong on the x86 and not implemented on all other architectures. But |
555 |
|
the infrastructure is in place. I had to change a few functor |
556 |
|
signatures in the backend to be able to route the CCalls interface |
557 |
|
from MLRISC there, and I had to specialize the mltree type (on the |
558 |
|
x86) to include the necessary extensions. (The extensions themselves |
559 |
|
were already there and redy to go in MLRISC/x86). |
560 |
|
|
561 |
|
Everything should be very happy as soon as someone helps me with |
562 |
|
mlriscGen.sml... |
563 |
|
|
564 |
|
In any case, nothing of this should matter to anyone as long as the |
565 |
|
new primop is not being used (which is going to be the case unless you |
566 |
|
find it where I hid it :). The rest of the compiler is completely |
567 |
|
unaffected. |

573 |
|
Description: |
574 |
|
|
575 |
|
Added some experimental support for work that I am doing right now. |
576 |
|
These changes mostly concern added primops, but there is also a new |
577 |
|
experimental C library in the runtime system (but currently not enabled |
578 |
|
anywhere except on Linux/X86). |
579 |
|
|
580 |
|
In the course of adding primops (and playing with them), I discovered that |
581 |
|
Zhong's INL_PRIM hack (no type info for certain primops) was, in fact, badly |
582 |
|
broken. (Zhong was very right he labeled this stuff as "major gross hack".) |
583 |
|
To recover, I made type information in INL_PRIM mandatory and changed |
584 |
|
prim.sml as well as built-in.sml accordingly. The InLine structure now |
585 |
|
has complete, correct type information (i.e., no bottom types). |
586 |
|
|
587 |
|
Since all these changes mean that we need new binfiles, I also bumped the |
588 |
|
version number to 110.32.1. |

Plus: some other minor CM changes. For example, CM now reports some |
