abi.rs

//! Where a function's arguments already are when it starts running, and where a call puts its own.
//!
//! Design: `spec/12-abi-and-runtime.md`.
//!
//! This is the one part of the calling convention that is not a lowering rule, and it is worth
//! saying why, because everything else in this crate is. A rule matches a term and rewrites it,
//! and which register the third argument arrives in is not a fact about any term: it depends on
//! the argument's position and on the classification of every argument before it. A pattern has
//! nowhere to put that. So the arguments are built here, by hand, out of what the convention
//! says, the same way [`crate::finish`] builds a prologue.
//!
//! The classification itself is not here either. `rucc-lower` has already run it by the time a
//! function reaches this crate, which is why the parameters read here are nearly all plain
//! scalars: an aggregate has been split into the pieces it travels in, and a return through memory
//! is an ordinary pointer parameter in front of the rest. What is left for this is the step after
//! classification, from how a value travels to which register it is actually in, which is
//! [`rucc_target::Places`].
//!
//! The one parameter that is not a scalar is an aggregate the classification put in the argument
//! area whole, which is [`rucc_ir::Abi::ByVal`]. The IR calls it a pointer, because a pointer is
//! what an instruction reading it has to have, and the convention says the bytes travel and the
//! pointer does not. So this is the one place that reads what the classification said rather than
//! only the type, on both sides of the call, and the two sides are the two halves of one copy.
//!
//! # What it writes
//!
//! One `x64.arg_val_*` per parameter that arrived in a register, at the top of the entry block,
//! each defining a fresh register constrained to the one the argument arrived in. They encode to
//! nothing. The point of them is that a parameter has to be defined somewhere for the allocator to
//! have anything to move, and the entry block cannot define it as a block parameter: there is no
//! edge into the entry block for the move to go on, which is what `rucc_regalloc::rewrite` asserts.
//!
//! What the allocator does with them is the whole of the argument sequence. A parameter that is
//! read where it arrived costs nothing, and one that is not gets a copy, which is the same
//! bargain the return already makes and is decided by the same code.
//!
//! A parameter whose bytes travelled is the exception to all of that. Its bytes are already in
//! this function, at a place in the caller's argument area the same walk gives, so nothing is
//! brought in at all: what the parameter is is where they are, and that is one `lea`. It waits on
//! the frame the way the loads below it do, and for the same reason.
//!
//! A parameter past the last register arrived in the caller's memory rather than in a register, so
//! it is a load and not a pseudo, and it is a real instruction that encodes to real bytes. How far
//! up the caller's argument area it is is a number [`rucc_target::Places`] answers here, but where
//! that area is from inside this function is a distance into a frame, and no frame exists until
//! after allocation. So the load is written with nothing in its displacement, which of the two
//! registers it reads through is left to be settled too, and both are filled in by [`crate::finish`]
//! out of [`crate::frame::Frame::incoming`]. That is the same bargain an `alloca` already makes,
//! for the same reason and in the same two places.
//!
//! # A call
//!
//! The same reasoning the other way round, and one instruction rather than several. `x64.call`
//! and `x64.call_reg` are the only opcodes in the description whose operand vector is empty
//! there, because nothing about a call's operands is the same from one call to the next, so they
//! are built here: one read per argument constrained to the register the convention passes it in,
//! one definition for the value that comes back constrained to the register it comes back in, and
//! one definition per register the convention does not preserve.
//!
//! A call through an address has one operand more, which is the address, and it is the one
//! operand of a call that is a fact about the instruction rather than about the signature. It
//! goes in front of the arguments, because the assembler has to find it and an index into a
//! vector whose length depends on the convention is not a way of finding anything.
//!
//! Those last ones are the clobbers, and they are the whole of what the allocator has to know
//! about a call besides where the values go. Each is a definition of the physical register itself
//! rather than of a value, since there is no value: it says the register is written here, which
//! is exactly what stops the allocator from leaving something in one across the call. A register
//! an argument or the result already names is not repeated, because naming it once already blocks
//! it for the length of the instruction, which is all a clobber does.
//!
//! An argument past the last register the convention has for it is a store into the outgoing area
//! rather than an operand of the call, written in front of the call in the same block. Where that
//! area is does not have to wait for the frame the way the incoming one does, because the outgoing
//! area is at the bottom of the frame and the bottom of the frame is where the stack pointer is:
//! that is the whole reason the frame puts it there, since it is where the callee will look. So the
//! offset [`rucc_target::Places`] gives back is the offset the store is written with.
//!
//! An object passed by value in memory is the same thing again and a copy rather than a store. The
//! caller owes the callee a copy it is free to write to, which is what makes a C call by value
//! different from passing a pointer the callee must not keep, and the argument area is where the
//! convention says that copy goes. So the bytes are read out of the object and written into the
//! area a word at a time, in front of the call, with the words chosen by the same function that
//! chooses them for a `memcpy`. An object with more words than that unrolls to is copied by a call
//! to the runtime's `memcpy` instead, written in front of the outer call in the same block.
//!
//! That is one call built in the middle of building another, which sounds worse than it is.
//! Nothing of the outer call is in a physical register when the copy is written: every argument
//! that travels in one is still a virtual register, and the register it has to end up in is a
//! constraint on an operand of the call instruction, which is not built until every copy in front
//! of it has been. So what the inner call destroys is what any call destroys, and the allocator
//! keeps the outer call's values out of those registers the same way it does across a call the
//! program wrote. The arguments already stored into the outgoing area are safe for a plainer
//! reason: the inner call's own frame is below the stack pointer and that area is above it.
//!
//! The call still reports how many bytes it needed, because the frame reserves as many as the
//! widest call in the function asked for and cannot know that until every call has been seen.
