2023-01-04tcg: convert tcg/README to rstMark Cave-Ayland1-784/+0
Convert tcg/README to rst and move it to docs/devel as a new "TCG Intermediate Representation" page. There are a few minor changes to improve the aesthetic of the final output which are as follows: - Rename the title from "Tiny Code Generator - Fabrice Bellard" to "TCG Intermediate Representation" - Remove the section numbering - Add the missing parameters to the ssadd_vec operations in the "Host vector operations" section - Change the path to the Atomic Operations document to use a proper reference - Replace tcg/README in tcg.rst with a proper reference to the new document Signed-off-by: Mark Cave-Ayland <mark.cave-ayland@ilande.co.uk> Reviewed-by: Fabiano Rosas <farosas@suse.de> Message-Id: <20221130100434.64207-2-mark.cave-ayland@ilande.co.uk> Signed-off-by: Richard Henderson <richard.henderson@linaro.org>

2021-06-29tcg: Add flags argument to bswap opcodesRichard Henderson1-8/+14
This will eventually simplify front-end usage, and will allow backends to unset TCG_TARGET_HAS_MEMORY_BSWAP without loss of optimization. The argument is added during expansion, not currently exposed to the front end translators. The backends currently only support a flags value of either TCG_BSWAP_IZ, or (TCG_BSWAP_IZ | TCG_BSWAP_OZ), since they all require zero top bytes and leave them that way. At the existing call sites we pass in (TCG_BSWAP_IZ | TCG_BSWAP_OZ), except for the flags-ignored cases of a 32-bit swap of a 32-bit value and or a 64-bit swap of a 64-bit value, where we pass 0.

2020-08-21meson: rename included C source files to .c.incPaolo Bonzini1-1/+1
With Makefiles that have automatically generated dependencies, you generated includes are set as dependencies of the Makefile, so that they are built before everything else and they are available when first building the .c files. Alternatively you can use a fine-grained dependency, e.g. target/arm/translate.o: target/arm/decode-neon-shared.inc.c With Meson you have only one choice and it is a third option, namely "build at the beginning of the corresponding target"; the way you express it is to list the includes in the sources of that target. The problem is that Meson decides if something is a source vs. a generated include by looking at the extension: '.c', '.cc', '.m', '.C' are sources, while everything else is considered an include---including '.inc.c'. Use '.c.inc' to avoid this, as it is consistent with our other convention of using '.rst.inc' for included reStructuredText files. The editorconfig file is adjusted.

2017-06-05tcg: Introduce goto_ptr opcode and tcg_gen_lookup_and_goto_ptrEmilio G. Cota1-0/+8
Instead of exporting goto_ptr directly to TCG frontends, export tcg_gen_lookup_and_goto_ptr(), which calls goto_ptr with the pointer returned by the lookup_tb_ptr() helper. This is the only use case we have for goto_ptr and lookup_tb_ptr, so having this function is very convenient. Furthermore, it trivially allows us to avoid calling the lookup helper if goto_ptr is not implemented by the backend. Reviewed-by: Alex Bennée <alex.bennee@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Emilio G.

2012-10-28tcg: rework TCG helper flagsAurelien Jarno1-5/+14
The current helper flags, TCG_CALL_CONST and TCG_CALL_PURE might be confusing and doesn't provide enough granularity for some helpers (FP helpers for example). This patch changes them into the following helpers flags: - TCG_CALL_NO_READ_GLOBALS means that the helper does not read globals, either directly or via an exception. They will not be saved to their canonical location before calling the helper. - TCG_CALL_NO_WRITE_GLOBALS means that the helper does not modify any globals. They will only be saved to their canonical locations before calling helpers, but they won't be reloaded afterwise. - TCG_CALL_NO_SIDE_EFFECTS means that the call to the function is removed if the return value is not used. It provides convenience flags, to avoid helper definitions longer than 80 characters. It also provides compatibility flags, and updates the documentation.
