Branches: main Allow the use of Mercury abstract machine float registers for passing double-precision float arguments in higher order calls. In of itself this is not so useful for typical Mercury code. However, as all non-local procedures are potentially the targets of higher order calls, without this change first order calls to non-local procedures could not use float registers either. That is the actual motivation for this change. The basic mechanism is straightforward. As before, do_call_closure_* is invoked to place the closure's hidden arguments into r1, ..., rN, and extra input arguments shifted into rN+1, etc. With float registers, extra input arguments may also be in f1, f2, etc. and the closure may also have hidden float arguments. Optimising for calls, we order the closure's hidden arguments so that all float register arguments come after all regular register arguments in the vector. Having the arguments out of order does complicate code which needs to deconstruct closures, but that is not so important. Polymorphism complicates things. A closure with type pred(float) may be passed to a procedure expecting pred(T). Due to the `float' argument type, the closure expects its argument in a float register. But when passed to the procedure, the polymorphic argument type means it would be called with the argument in a regular register. Higher-order insts already contain information about the calling convention, without which a higher-order term cannot be called. We extend higher-order insts to include information about the register class required for each argument. For example, we can distinguish between: pred(in) is semidet /* arg regs: [reg_f] */ and pred(in) is semidet /* arg regs: [reg_r] */ Using this information, we can create a wrapper around a higher-order variable if it appears in a context requiring a different calling convention. We do this in a new HLDS pass, called float_regs.m. Note: Mercury code has a tendency to lose insts for higher-order terms, then "recover" them by hacky means. The float_regs pass depends on higher-order insts; it is impossible to create a wrapper for a procedure without knowing how to call it. The float_regs pass will report errors which we otherwise accepted, due to higher-order insts being unavailable. It should be possible for the user to adjust the code to satisfy the pass, though the user may not understand why it should be necessary. In most cases, it probably really *is* unnecessary. We may be able to make the float_regs pass more tolerant of missing higher-order insts in the future. Class method calls do not use float registers because I didn't want to deal with them yet. compiler/options.m: compiler/handle_options.m: Always enable float registers in low-level C grades when floats are wider than a word. compiler/make_hlds_passes.m: Always allow double word floats to be stored unboxed in cells on C grades. compiler/hlds_goal.m: Add an extra field to `generic_call' which gives the register class to use for each argument. This is set by the float_regs pass. compiler/prog_data.m: Add an extra field to `pred_inst_info' which records the register class to use for each argument. This is set by the float_regs pass. compiler/hlds_pred.m: Add a field to `proc_sub_info' which lists the headvars which must be passed via regular registers despite their types. Add a field to `pred_sub_info' to record the original unsubstituted argument types for instance method predicates. compiler/check_typeclass.m: In the pred_info of an instance method predicate, record the original argument types before substituting the type variables for the instance. compiler/float_regs.m: compiler/transform_hlds.m: Add the new HLDS pass. compiler/mercury_compile_middle_passes.m: Run the new pass if float registers are enabled. compiler/lambda.m: Export the predicate to produce a predicate from a lambda. This is reused by float_regs.m to create wrapper closures. Add an argument to `expand_lambda' to set the reg_r_headvars field on the newly created procedure. Delete some unused fields from `lambda_info'. compiler/arg_info.m: Make `generate_proc_arg_info' no longer always use regular registers for calls to exported procedures. Do always use regular registers for class methods calls. Add a version of `make_arg_infos' which takes an explicit list of argument registers. Rename the previous version. Add `generic_call_arg_reg_types' to return the argument registers for a generic call. Add a version of `compute_in_and_out_vars' which additionally separates arguments for float and regular registers. compiler/call_gen.m: Use float registers for argument passing in higher-order calls, as directed by the new field in `generic_call'. compiler/code_util.m: Add a function to encode the number of regular and float register arguments when making a higher-order call. compiler/llds.m: Say that the `do_call_closure_N' functions only work for zero float register arguments. compiler/follow_vars.m: compiler/interval.m: Account for the use of float registers by generic call goals in these passes. compiler/unify_gen.m: Move float register arguments to the end of a closure's hidden arguments vector, after regular register arguments. Count hidden regular and float register arguments separately, but encode them in the same word in the closure. This is preferable to using two words because it reduces the differences between grades with and without float registers present. Disable generating code which creates a closure from an existing closure, if float registers exist. That code does not understand the reordered hidden arguments vector yet. compiler/continuation_info.m: Replace an argument's type_info in the closure layout if the argument is a float *and* is passed via a regular register, when floats are normally passed via float registers. Instead, give it the type_info for `private_builtin.float_box'. compiler/builtin_lib_types.m: Add function to return the type of `private_builtin.float_box/0'. compiler/hlds_out_goal.m: compiler/hlds_out_pred.m: compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m: Dump the new fields added to `generic_call', `pred_inst_info' and `proc_sub_info'. compiler/prog_type.m: Add helper predicate. compiler/*.m: Conform to changes. library/private_builtin.m: Add a type `float_box'. runtime/mercury_ho_call.h: Describe the modified closure representation. Rename the field which counts the number of hidden arguments to prevent it being used incorrectly, as it now encodes two numbers (potentially). Add macros to unpack the encoded field. runtime/mercury_ho_call.c: Update the description of how higher-order calls work. Update code which extracts closure arguments to take account the arguments being reordered in the hidden arguments vector. runtime/mercury_deep_copy.c: runtime/mercury_deep_copy_body.h: runtime/mercury_layout_util.c: runtime/mercury_ml_expand_body.h: Update code which extracts closure arguments to take account the arguments being reordered in the hidden arguments vector. runtime/mercury_type_info.c: runtime/mercury_type_info.h: Add helper function. tools/make_spec_ho_call: Update the generated do_call_closure_* functions to place float register arguments. tests/hard_coded/Mercury.options: tests/hard_coded/Mmakefile: tests/hard_coded/ho_float_reg.exp: tests/hard_coded/ho_float_reg.m: Add new test case. tests/hard_coded/copy_pred.exp: tests/hard_coded/copy_pred.m: tests/hard_coded/deconstruct_arg.exp: tests/hard_coded/deconstruct_arg.exp2: tests/hard_coded/deconstruct_arg.m: Extend test cases with float arguments in closures. tests/debugger/higher_order.exp2: Add alternative output, changed due to closure wrapping. tests/hard_coded/ho_univ_to_type.m: Adjust test case so that the float_regs pass does not report errors about missing higher-order insts. compiler/notes/compiler_design.html: Describe the new module. Delete a duplicated paragraph. compiler/notes/todo.html: TODO: Delete one hundred billion year old todos.
