c31d8b52ff Add typed constants and lots more. 2024-06-12 13:57:33 -05:00

f0395763b7 More work on x86 target.
Also remove all (limited) type inference from the sysir. Type
inference is better done in frontend, limited inference in backend
just covers compilers issues.

Simple hello world with nasm working.

5b3c5a5969 Lots of work on calling conventions and x86 backend.
We need the ability to represent multiple calling conventions in IR.
All backends need to support a :default CC, but can also support more
for interop with system libraries, code from other compilers, syscalls, etc.

Also allow void returns.

af10c1d4b5 More work on x64 backend, especially branching.
Needs changes to IR to allow encoding immediates in all
instructions where possible. This makes the IR denser, means
we don't need `constant` and `callk`, and allows certain optimizations
like comparing to zero, using `inc` and `dec`, etc which are
specializations of more general instructions with constants.

25b7c74089 More work on register allocation and spilling.
Setup frontend.janet to show the basics of what is going on. Currently
emitting "fake" instructions just to hash out the idea.

One apparent issue is how we handle register spilling during variable
argument IR instructions (function calls). Arguments should come
_before_ the function call not after.

7ea118f248 Begin work on simple x64 backend.
Introduce register allocation, spilling, etc. First implementation
will likely emit textual assembly and use a very bad register allocation
algorithm.

480c5b5e9d Change how labels are recorded.
Disallow jumping to arbitrary instructions - instead, only allow jumps
to label ids. This will make various transformations and validations
easier since adding or remove instructions does not break jumps.

08e6051af8 More work on sysir compiler - basic function calls (without prototypes). 2024-05-15 07:24:15 -05:00

ef2dfcd7c3 More work on a proof of concept frontend.
Basic frontend being prototyped in examples/sysir/frontend.janet. Still
a lot of work needs to be done here, and some of this code will
eventually move to C most likely, but this is a good way to better
exercise our backend.

Type inference - at the very least _forward_ inference, is the most
needed change here. While one could do this in the compiler
frontend, doing so in sysir/asm is not so much of an issue. "Inference"
here means inserting "bind" instructions when there is only a single
type that will work correctly.

3a782d27b1 Allow for multiple functions in a sysir "context".
Allows for in memory linking.

efbc46c69e Add support for using operators on arrays (and pointers to arrays).
Allows more expressive yet type checked representation of array
algorithms.
