Thus, we have a real frame pointer and + can freely modify %sp without need for an omit-frame-ptr phase. + The vfp logic in src/compiler/CodeGen/* has been changed to accomodate + this case. + * ml-nlffigen has been taught to produce code for different architectures + and calling conventions. + * In a way similar to what was done in the x86 case, the Sparc + backend uses its own specific extension to mltree. (For example, + it needs to be able to generate UNIMP instructions which are part + of the calling convention.) + * ml-nlffi-lib was reorganized to make it more modular (in particular, + to make it easier to plug in new machine- and os-dependent parts). + +There are some other fairly unrelated bug fixes and cleanups as well: + + * I further hacked the .cm files for MLRISC tools (like MDLGen) so + that they properly share their libraries with existing SML/NJ libraries. + * I fixed a minor cosmetic bug in CM, supressing certain spurious + follow-up error messages. + * Updates to CM/CMB documentation. + +TODO items: + + * MLRISC should use a different register as its asmTemp on the Sparc. + (The current %o2 is a really bad choice because it is part of the + calling conventions, so things might interfere in unexpected ways.) + +---------------------------------------------------------------------- +Name: Matthias Blume +Date: 2001/06/07 +Tag: blume-20010607-calls +Description: + +A number of internal changes related to C calls and calling conventions: + +1. ML-Tree CALL statements now carry a "pops" field. It indicates the + number of bytes popped implicitly (by the callee). In most cases + this field is 0 but on x86/win32 it is some non-zero value. This + is information provided for the benefit of the "omit-frameptr" pass. +2. The CALL instruction on the x86 carries a similar "pops" field. + The instruction selection phase copies its value from the ML-Tree + CALL statement. +3. On all other architectures, the instruction selection phase checks + whether "pops=0" and complains if not. +4. The c-calls implementation for x86 now accepts two calling conventions: + "ccall" and "stdcall". When "ccall" is selected, the caller cleans + up after the call and pops is set to 0. For "stdcall", the caller + does nothing, leaving the cleanup to the callee; pops is set to + the number of bytes that were pushed onto the stack. +5. The cproto decoder (compiler/Semant/types/cproto.sml) now can + distinguish between "ccall" and "stdcall". +6. The UNIMP instruction has been added to the supported Sparc instruction + set. (This is needed for implementing the official C calling convention + on this architecture.) +7. I fixed some of the .cm files under src/MLRISC/Tools to make them + work with the latest CM. + +---------------------------------------------------------------------- +Name: Matthias Blume +Date: 2001/06/05 15:10:00 EDT +Tag: blume-20010605-cm-index +Description: + +0. The "lambdasplit" parameter for class "sml" in CM has been documented. + +1. CM can now generate "index files". These are human-readable files + that list on a per-.cm-file basis each toplevel symbol defined or + imported. The location of the index file for +

/.cm is

/CM/INDEX/.cm. + To enable index-file generation, set CM.Control.generate_index to true + or export an environment-symbol: export CM_GENERATE_INDEX=true. + + The CM manual has been updated accordingly. + +2. I made some slight modifications to the c-calls API in MLRISC. + + a) There is now a callback to support saving/restoring of + dedicated but caller-save registers around the actual call + instruction. + b) One can optionally specify a comment-annotation for the + call instruction. + +3. SML/NJ (mlriscGen.sml) uses this new API for the rawccall primop. + (For example, the comment annotation shows the C prototype of + the function being called.) + +---------------------------------------------------------------------- +Name: Matthias Blume +Date: 2001/06/01 13:30:00 EDT +Tag: blume-20010601-nlffi-cleanup +Description: + +This is mostly a cleanup of MLFFI stuff: + + - some signature files have been put into a more exposed place + - the ugly 'f type parameter is gone (simplifies types tremendously!) + - ml-nlffigen changed accordingly + - tutorial updated + +Other changes: + + - author's affiliation in CM manual(s) updated + - some more recognized keywords added to Allen's sml.sty + +---------------------------------------------------------------------- +Name: Matthias Blume +Date: 2001/05/25 15:30:00 EDT +Tag: blume-20010525-iptr +Description: + + - put the official 110.33-README (as it appears on the ftp server) under + CVS + - fixed a small bug related to incomplete pointer types in + ml-nlffigen + - small cosmetic change to the ml-nlffi-lib's "arr" type constructor + (it does not need the 'f type parameter) + +---------------------------------------------------------------------- +Name: Matthias Blume +Date: 2001/05/23 14:30:00 EDT +Tag: Release_110_33 +Description: + +New version number (110.33).

(A qualifying library is a library that has another library or +groups as its sole member and repeats that member's export list +verbatim. A proxy library avoids this repetition by omitting its export +list, effectively inheriting the list that its (only) member exports. +See the CM manual for more explanation.) +The main effect is that explicit export lists for these libraries +do not have to be kepts in sync, making maintenance a bit easier. + +I also added copyright notices to many .cm-files. + +Last but not least, I made a new set of bootfiles. + +---------------------------------------------------------------------- +Name: Matthias Blume +Date: 2001/05/04 17:00:00 EDT +Tag: blume-20010504-cm-lsplit +Description: + +0.

The cause of the bug itself is +still unknown and it might be hard to fix it properly, but the +workaround has some merits of its own (namely somewhat reducing pickling +overhead for certain libraries). Therefore, I think this solution should +be satisfactory at this time. + +The rest of the changes (i.e., the vast majority) has to do with my +ongoing efforts of providing direct support for C function calls from +ML. At the moment there is a new primop "RAW_CCALL", typing magic +in types/cproto.sml (invoked from FLINT/trans/translate.sml), a new +case in the FLINT CPS datatype (RCC), changes to cps/convert.sml to +translate uses of RAW_CCALL into RCC, and changes to mlriscGen.sml to +handle RCC. + +The last part (the changes to mlriscGen.sml) are still known to be +wrong on the x86 and not implemented on all other architectures. But +the infrastructure is in place. I had to change a few functor +signatures in the backend to be able to route the CCalls interface +from MLRISC there, and I had to specialize the mltree type (on the +x86) to include the necessary extensions. (The extensions themselves +were already there and redy to go in MLRISC/x86). + +Everything should be very happy as soon as someone helps me with +mlriscGen.sml... + +In any case, nothing of this should matter to anyone as long as the +new primop is not being used (which is going to be the case unless you +find it where I hid it :).

(See CM manual for explanation.) + +Updated CM documentation. + +Fixed some bugs in CM. + +Implemented "proxy" libraries (= syntactic sugar for CM). + +Added "-quiet" option to makeml and changed runtime system accordingly. + +Added cleanup handler for exportML to reset timers and compiler stats. + +---------------------------------------------------------------------- +Name: Lal George +Date: 2000/12/22 22:22:58 EST 2000 +Tag: Release_110_32 +Description: + + Infinite precision used throughout MLRISC. + see MLRISC/mltree/machine-int.sig + +---------------------------------------------------------------------- +Name: Matthias Blume +Date: 2000/12/22 23:16:00 JST +Tag: blume-20001222-warn +Description: + +Corrected wording and formatting of some CM warning message which I +broke in my previous patch. + +---------------------------------------------------------------------- +Name: Matthias Blume +Date: 2000/12/22 21:20:00 JST +Tag: blume-20001222-anchorenv +Description: + +Fixed CM's handling of anchor environments in connection with CMB.make. + +---------------------------------------------------------------------- +Name: Matthias Blume +Date: 2000/12/22 13:15:00 JST +Tag: blume-20001222-cleanup +Description: + +Removed src/cm/ffi which does not (and did not) belong here. + +---------------------------------------------------------------------- +Name: Matthias Blume +Date: 2000/12/21 23:55:00 JST +Tag: blume-20001221-exn +Description: + +Probably most important: CM no longer silently swallows all exceptions +in the compiler. +Plus: some other minor CM changes.
