cranelift_codegen/machinst/mod.rs
1//! This module exposes the machine-specific backend definition pieces.
2//!
3//! The MachInst infrastructure is the compiler backend, from CLIF
4//! (ir::Function) to machine code. The purpose of this infrastructure is, at a
5//! high level, to do instruction selection/lowering (to machine instructions),
6//! register allocation, and then perform all the fixups to branches, constant
7//! data references, etc., needed to actually generate machine code.
8//!
9//! The container for machine instructions, at various stages of construction,
10//! is the `VCode` struct. We refer to a sequence of machine instructions organized
11//! into basic blocks as "vcode". This is short for "virtual-register code".
12//!
13//! The compilation pipeline, from an `ir::Function` (already optimized as much as
14//! you like by machine-independent optimization passes) onward, is as follows.
15//!
16//! ```plain
17//!
18//! ir::Function (SSA IR, machine-independent opcodes)
19//! |
20//! | [lower]
21//! |
22//! VCode<arch_backend::Inst> (machine instructions:
23//! | - mostly virtual registers.
24//! | - cond branches in two-target form.
25//! | - branch targets are block indices.
26//! | - in-memory constants held by insns,
27//! | with unknown offsets.
28//! | - critical edges (actually all edges)
29//! | are split.)
30//! |
31//! | [regalloc --> `regalloc2::Output`; VCode is unchanged]
32//! |
33//! | [binary emission via MachBuffer]
34//! |
35//! Vec<u8> (machine code:
36//! | - two-dest branches resolved via
37//! | streaming branch resolution/simplification.
38//! | - regalloc `Allocation` results used directly
39//! | by instruction emission code.
40//! | - prologue and epilogue(s) built and emitted
41//! | directly during emission.
42//! | - SP-relative offsets resolved by tracking
43//! | EmitState.)
44//!
45//! ```
