classify.rs

1//! The one classifier every ABI is run through, and the four mechanisms it is built from.
2//!
3//! Design: `spec/cross-compile/06-abis.md` section 6.7.
4//!
5//! [`crate::describe`] argues for the split between mechanism and policy. This is the mechanism
6//! half. There are four things in here that look inside an aggregate, and every ABI in
7//! [`crate::abis`] is one of them plus a size rule plus an order.
8//!
9//! # Ask about the return value first
10//!
11//! On three of the five ABIs described here, a return value that comes back in memory takes an
12//! argument register with it on the way past, so a function returning a large structure has one
13//! argument register fewer than the same function returning `int`. Classifying the arguments
14//! before the return value gives a different answer for the last argument, and it is a different
15//! answer rather than an error, which is the worst kind.
16//!
17//! [`Call::returns`] therefore comes first and [`Call::argument`] is asked once per argument in
18//! source order. Asking out of order answers for a different program.
