varargs.rs

//! What a function does to read the arguments its own signature does not name.
//!
//! Design: `spec/12-abi-and-runtime.md`, which is where the layout below comes from.
//!
//! A variadic callee has a problem an ordinary one does not. Six of its arguments arrived in
//! general purpose registers and eight more in vector ones, and it cannot know which of those hold
//! anything, because what it was passed is a thing only the caller knew. Registers are also not
//! addressable, and `va_arg` walks arguments one after another at run time, which is walking
//! addresses. So the convention says the callee spills all fourteen of them into a block of its own
//! frame on the way in, and from then on every argument it was passed is somewhere in memory: the
//! ones that came in registers are in that block, and the ones that did not are in the caller's
//! argument area where they were left.
//!
//! That block is the register save area, and a `va_list` is four fields saying how far into the
//! arguments the walk has got:
//!
//! ```text
//! offset  0  gp_offset          bytes into the save area of the next argument from a gpr
//! offset  4  fp_offset          bytes into the save area of the next argument from an xmm
//! offset  8  overflow_arg_area  the next argument that came in the caller's memory
//! offset 16  reg_save_area      the bottom of the save area
//! ```
//!
//! `va_start` fills all four in. The two offsets do not start at zero: the arguments the signature
//! does name took registers too, and they took the first ones, so each offset starts past them.
//! `va_arg` is then one question asked at run time, which is whether the offset for its file has run
//! off the end of the save area. If it has not, the argument is in the save area and the offset
//! steps on by a slot. If it has, the argument is in the caller's memory and the overflow pointer
//! steps on by a word instead.
//!
//! # Why the layout is exactly the psABI's and not a convenient one
//!
//! Nothing outside the function can see the save area, so its shape looks like a private decision.
//! It is not one, because a `va_list` is a thing a program hands to another function, and the
//! function it usually hands it to is `vfprintf` in the C library, which somebody else compiled and
//! which walks the list by the rules in the psABI document. So the offsets are the document's
//! offsets, the area is the document's one hundred and seventy six bytes, and the eight bytes
//! between two general purpose slots and the sixteen between two vector ones are the document's too.
//!
//! The upper half of a vector slot is the document's too, and what is in it is the top of a
//! `_Float128`. A slot is sixteen bytes wide because the register is, and a quad is the one type
//! here that fills one, so the spill writes all sixteen bytes of every vector register and a
//! `va_arg` of a quad reads all sixteen back. gcc writes the same sixteen with the same instruction,
//! which is what makes a list built here readable by a walk somebody else compiled. Anything wider
//! than a register would be a vector type, which is issue #200 and is not a thing yet.
//!
//! # What is here and what is next door
//!
//! `va_arg` becomes a compare and a branch, and this is where, because a rewrite that needs new
//! blocks has to happen before selection for the reason [`crate::expand`] gives. Everything it needs
//! is in the list it was handed, so it needs nothing from the frame and can run here.
//!
//! An aggregate read off a list is the same instruction under another name, because an aggregate is
//! not a value and there is nothing for one result to be, so that one answers where the object is
//! instead. Over two eightbytes it is class MEMORY whatever its members are, which means it is in
//! the caller's argument area and there is no question to ask about which half of the walk it is
//! in: the overflow pointer says where it is and steps on past it. Sixteen bytes and under arrived
//! in registers, and then the question is the one a scalar asks, with two differences. The object
//! takes a register of each file for each of its eightbytes, so the room in the save area has to be
//! there for all of them at once and the offsets step on by all of them at once. And the halves of
//! it in the save area are not next to each other, so the answer cannot be an address in the area:
//! the eightbytes are copied out into a buffer of the function's own and the answer is that.
//!
//! Which file each eightbyte came from is the classification, which is an answer about a C type and
//! not one the size and the alignment give. It arrives on the instruction, worked out by the front
//! end, which is the last thing to hold a type. An object with no slots on it is one the
//! classification sent to the argument area, and that is what tells the two halves below apart.
//!
//! `va_start` is the other way round. Three of the four fields it writes are distances into a frame
//! that does not exist yet, so it stays an instruction as far as [`crate::lower`], which builds it
//! out of the frame the way it builds an `alloca`. The spill that fills the save area is written
//! there for the same reason.
