//! The selector: an IR function becomes a machine IR function.
//!
//! Design: `spec/10-backend.md` sections 10.2 and 10.3.
//!
//! What the matcher in [`crate::select`] does is answer one question about one term. What this
//! does is ask it: walk a function, decide which terms are worth asking about, and build machine
//! instructions out of what comes back. Nothing here decides what an IR term lowers to. That is
//! in `rules/x86-64.rules` and it is proved before it is used, which is the whole point of the
//! arrangement and the reason this file is short.
//!
//! # What it does with an instruction
//!
//! It tries the ways the instruction can be shown to the matcher, in order, and takes the first
//! that a rule fires on. [`crate::term`] is what a way of showing one is, and the order is the
//! most specific first: an operand that is a constant is offered as a constant before it is
//! offered as a register, and an operand computed by an instruction of its own is offered as
//! that instruction before it is offered as a register. A rule that wants an immediate too wide
//! for the machine has a guard that turns it down, and the search carries on to the way of
//! showing it that puts the constant in a register, which is the right answer and is one nobody
//! had to write down.
//!
//! A constant is not lowered where it is written. It is materialized where a register for it is
//! first wanted, which is what keeps a constant that every use folded into an immediate from
//! leaving a dead instruction behind, and it also gives the value the shortest live range it
//! could have. The instruction that materializes it comes from the rule set like everything else.
//!
//! # What it does not do yet
//!
//! Everything is in the general purpose registers, because every rule in the set is about an
//! integer, so a call that passes a `double` and a function that returns one are both reported
//! rather than lowered. So is an argument that travels on the stack, on either side of a call,
//! and so is a call through an address rather than to a name.
//!
//! # A call
//!
//! Not a rule, because a rule pattern sees one term and what a call's operands are is whatever
//! the signature made them. [`crate::abi`] builds one instead, out of the same description of the
//! convention the arguments come from: the values it passes are reads constrained to the
//! registers the convention places them in, what comes back is a write constrained to the
//! register it comes back in, and every other register the callee is free to destroy is a write
//! of that register and nothing else, which is all the allocator needs to keep a value out of it.
//!
//! What that costs the frame is an argument area, and nothing after selection could work out how
//! big, so the size of the widest call is given back with the function. A function that makes no
//! call at all is a leaf, and a leaf is the function that may use the red zone.
//!
//! # Where a block goes
//!
//! On the block, which is what machine IR does with an edge and is why the branches need no more
//! rule language than the arithmetic did. A rule never names a block, so an unconditional jump
//! has no rule at all and a conditional branch has one that is about its condition and nothing
//! else. The arms are copied across after the block is filled, arguments and all, because an
//! argument that is a constant is materialized where a register for it is first wanted and the
//! end of the block is where an edge wants it.
//!
//! What this leaves behind is a function whose blocks are in the order the IR held them and whose
//! branches are still branches on a register. Turning one into a `test` and a `jcc` is the block
//! layout's, since which of the two arms falls through is the layout's answer, and [`crate::split`]
//! has to run before allocation so that every edge carrying a value has somewhere to put it.
//!
//! A store and a return are the two things here that write no register. A store is emitted like
//! everything else and the only difference is that there is no result to put anywhere, so the
//! operands the target describes are all reads. A return is the same, and what it is for is its
//! one operand: the target constrains it to the register the caller reads the value out of, and
//! the allocator is what gets it there. The instruction that leaves is not chosen here at all,
//! because the epilogue has to give the frame back first and [`crate::finish`] writes that after
//! allocation, so a return of nothing is lowered to nothing.
//!
//! The entry block is the one block whose parameters are not block parameters here. They are the
//! function's arguments, they are already somewhere when it starts, and [`crate::abi`] is what
//! says where. An argument that arrives on the stack is reported rather than read, because where
//! the stack put it is a distance into a frame and no frame exists until after allocation.
//!
//! Blocks are walked in the order the function holds them and a value is expected to be defined
//! before it is used, which is true of the IR this is given because every pass before it keeps
//! definitions ahead of uses.
