inst.rs

//! What one machine instruction is, and what an operand is.
//!
//! Design: `spec/10-backend.md` section 10.1.
//!
//! An instruction is an opcode, a run of operands, and the three things an opcode may carry
//! besides its operands: an immediate, a memory addressing mode, and a symbol. Twenty-four
//! bytes, all of it either a small number or an index into a table the function owns, so
//! walking a function is walking one dense array and nothing in it is separately freed.
//!
//! An operand is a register, the class it is drawn from, whether the instruction reads or
//! writes it, and any constraint on where it may live. That is what the allocator reads and it
//! is all the allocator reads, which is the point: the opcode is a name to everything except
//! the encoder, and the allocator never has to know what any particular target's instructions
//! mean.
//!
//! # Where the other pieces are
//!
//! [`Role`] and [`Constraint`] are in `rucc-target`, and this crate re-exports them. A target
//! says what its instructions do to their operands before there is any machine IR to say it in,
//! and both the selector that builds the IR and the encoder that reads it need the answer, so
//! the two of them live below both.
//!
//! Successors are on the block rather than on the terminator, in the order the terminator's own
//! arms run. That is regalloc2's arrangement, which `spec/10-backend.md` section 10.4 says the
//! allocator interface follows, and it keeps a branch's arguments out of the operand vector
//! where they would otherwise be uses the allocator has to be told to treat differently.
//!
//! The source location is a parallel array in the function, reached by [`crate::Func::span`],
//! for the same reason `rucc-ir` puts it there: it is read when a diagnostic is being made and
//! at no other time, so it does not belong on the row that every pass walks.
