pipeline.rs

//! One IR function to one machine function, which is every pass in this crate in order.
//!
//! Design: `spec/10-backend.md` section 10.1, which is where the order comes from.
//!
//! Each pass here is written and tested on its own and each is useful on its own, but there is
//! exactly one order they run in and until now that order lived in the tests. A caller outside
//! this crate would have had to know that splitting critical edges comes after lowering and
//! before allocation, that the frame is worked out after allocation because the spill slots are
//! the largest thing in it, and that the prologue is written after the frame. None of that is a
//! decision a driver should be making, so it is written down once, here.
//!
//! # What comes out
//!
//! A function whose every register is physical, whose every offset into the frame is a constant,
//! and whose blocks are in the order they run in with the jumps that order needs. That is the
//! point at which a function is one an encoder could read, and there is nothing left in it that
//! is not an instruction of the machine it was compiled for.
//!
//! # What is still missing from the middle
//!
//! The optimizing path, all of it. What runs here is `spec/10-backend.md` section 10.3's fast
//! path: one rule per term, a linear scan, and a block order from the shape of the CFG rather
//! than from block frequency. No scheduling and no peepholes, so the redundant moves a coalescer
//! would take out are still in the output.
