//! Writing the same answer in fewer bytes, once the registers are the real ones.
//!
//! Design: `spec/optimizer/37-machine-level-optimization.md` section 37.4, which calls these the
//! size directed peepholes and puts them after register allocation. tamnd/rucc#741 is the issue
//! about the back end never learning what it is compiling for, and names three of these as free
//! before any of that is settled and one as waiting for it.
//!
//! Five rewrites. A move of zero into a register becomes an exclusive or of the register with
//! itself: `movl $0, %eax` spells the zero out in four bytes of zero bits and is five bytes, `xorl
//! %eax, %eax` says it without spelling it and is two. The processor knows the idiom, so the
//! shorter one is no slower, and this is not a trade of speed for size and does not wait for a size
//! goal to arrive.
//!
//! And a move of a number into a sixty-four bit register becomes the thirty-two bit move where the
//! number is one that fits, because the narrow instruction clears the half of the register it does
//! not write rather than leaving it alone. `movq $7, %rax` is seven bytes and `movl $7, %eax` is
//! five, and for a number above two to the thirty-first it is ten against five, since the wide move
//! cannot reach one by sign extending and writes all eight bytes of it out.
//!
//! The two meet on a zero, and the order they are asked in is the order they are worth: a zero
//! whose condition state is free becomes the exclusive or, and a zero whose state is not becomes
//! the narrow move, which is two bytes off rather than five but costs nothing to say.
//!
//! And a comparison of a register against zero becomes a test of the register against itself.
//! `cmpl $0, %eax` is three bytes and `testl %eax, %eax` is two, the byte being the zero the first
//! one writes out. That one is asked of every instruction whatever the walk has seen, because the
//! test writes the condition state exactly as the comparison does: both leave the sign, the zero
//! and the parity of what is in the register and both clear the carry and the overflow, so every
//! condition this machine jumps on reads the same answer behind either of them.
//!
//! And an addition of one to a register becomes the instruction that adds one and says so in its
//! opcode. `addl $1, %eax` is three bytes, one for the opcode, one saying which register and one
//! for the number, and `incl %eax` is two. A subtraction of one becomes the instruction that takes
//! one away, and each of the two is also what the other one written against minus one becomes.
//!
//! And an address computation whose address is a register becomes a move of that register. `leaq
//! (%rsp), %rax` works out an address that is a base and nothing else, which is what is already in
//! the base, and `movq %rsp, %rax` puts the same number in the same place in three bytes rather than
//! four. The byte is the one an address counted from the stack pointer has to spend saying it has no
//! index, and the stack pointer is the register this turns up on, because what makes it is taking
//! the address of whichever local sits at the bottom of the frame.
//!
//! That fifth one is the only one here worth taking for something other than bytes. A move between
//! registers is a thing the machine can do by renaming, so it is off the critical path, and an
//! address computation is an addition however small the numbers in it are. gcc writes no address
//! computation of that shape anywhere in the SQLite amalgamation and rucc wrote 444 of them.
//!
//! That fourth one is the only one here that is not free, and it is the only one that reads the
//! goal. An addition writes the carry and an increment leaves the carry as it found it, so the
//! machine has to merge what was left with what the next instruction writes, which costs a little
//! where the code is hot and is worth a byte where the goal is size. gcc writes the addition at
//! `-O2` and the increment at `-Os`, and so does this. The goal arriving here at all is the first
//! half of tamnd/rucc#741: before it, `-Os` was a shorter list of middle end passes and the back
//! end compiled what came out of it exactly as `-O2` would have.
//!
//! The numbers over the corpus at `-Os` before this pass existed: rucc wrote a move of zero into a
//! register 21,304 times and GCC 16 wrote it 9 times, and GCC wrote the exclusive or 23,729 times
//! against rucc's 965. So this is not a case the selector catches most of and misses at the edges.
//! It is one it does not do. Afterwards rucc writes the move 1,232 times and the exclusive or
//! 21,037, and the two moved by the same number, which is what says every one that went became one
//! of these and none of them came from anywhere else.
//!
//! # Why it is not something the encoder does
//!
//! Because the two are not the same instruction. The exclusive or writes the condition state and
//! the move does not, so an encoder that quietly swapped one for the other would change what the
//! instruction behind it reads. Whether anything reads it is a question about the instructions that
//! follow rather than about this one, which is what makes this a pass. [`rucc_target::FlagInsts`]
//! is where the answer comes from, the same description [`crate::compare`] asks, and it answers
//! that a name it does not know writes the state, so an opcode added to a rule set and not to that
//! table makes this find less rather than making it wrong.
//!
//! The narrower move and the test are a different answer to the same question. Those two an encoder
//! could do without asking anything, since the narrower move leaves the same number in the same
//! register and the test leaves the same condition state the comparison left. They are not done
//! there because an encoder handed a sixty-four bit move and writing the bytes of a thirty-two bit
//! one would be writing bytes the listing beside them does not say, and the listing and the bytes
//! agreeing is worth more than the two bytes. Choosing the instruction is this pass and spelling
//! the one it chose is the encoder.
//!
//! # Why it runs last
//!
//! After [`crate::compare`], because that pass takes comparisons out and a comparison that is gone
//! is one whose write of the condition state is gone with it. Running before it would see a state
//! written where the output has none and would refuse rewrites that are allowed. After the layout
//! for the reason `compare` is: the layout writes the jump that reads a comparison into the same
//! block as the comparison, and this is the other pass that has to see that pair whole.
//!
//! Nothing here moves an instruction, removes one or changes a block, so running after the freeze
//! costs nothing. The rewrite is one instruction becoming one instruction in the same place.
//!
//! # What a block boundary is
//!
//! The end of everything this knows, which is the same sentence [`crate::compare`] uses and the
//! same reason: the condition state is not a register, nothing in this back end carries one from a
//! block to its successors, and the only place a comparison is read is the block it was made in.
//!
//! That is an invariant of the passes in front rather than of this one, so it is checked instead of
//! believed. `carried` walks every block and asks whether any of them reads the condition state
//! before writing it, which is what a block reading a predecessor's state would look like from
//! here, and one that does turns the whole function down. What it buys is that if some later pass
//! starts writing that shape, this pass stops rather than starts being wrong.
//!
//! Reads it rather than mentions it. A comparison that keeps a byte makes the comparison and reads
//! the answer in the one instruction, so a block opening with one is not a block reading anything a
//! predecessor left, and the description is asked which of the two kinds of read it is rather than
//! being taken at the word. tamnd/rucc#1432 is what that cost before it was asked: 456 functions in
//! the SQLite amalgamation were turned down and every one of them was turned down by this, which is
//! most of the functions in it that have anything for this pass to do.
//!
//! Down for the exclusive or and the increment. The narrower move reads no condition state and
//! writes none, the test writes the same state the comparison it replaces wrote, and neither an
//! address computation nor a move touches any state at all, so where a state is alive is not a
//! question those three have to ask, and a function this turns down still gets all of them.
//!
//! What the walk carries for the increment is a second answer beside the first, which is whether
//! anything behind reads the carry rather than whether anything behind reads the state. The two are
//! not the same question and neither implies the other: a jump on whether a value was zero reads the
//! state and not the carry, and an increment already in the code writes the state and not the carry
//! and so ends the life of neither. That last case is the reason the walk and the check above both
//! ask the target which instructions leave the carry alone rather than stopping at the flag saying
//! the state was written.
//!
//! # A template a program wrote
//!
//! An `asm` statement is not opaque to this. `rucc_target::x86_64::read` turns the text of a
//! template into the opcodes this back end already has, so by the time this runs a template is
//! ordinary instructions carrying ordinary names, and the ones in it that read the condition state
//! are seen the same way any other instruction's read is. A move of zero in front of a template is
//! rewritten when nothing in that template reads a state it did not write itself, which is the same
//! rule as everywhere else and not a rule about templates.
//!
//! Nothing weaker is being assumed there than what a program could already rely on. On this machine
//! GCC has every `asm` clobber the condition state whether the statement said so or not, so a
//! template reading one set before it was never something to hold on to.
//!
//! # What it will not do
//!
//! Turn a move into the exclusive or when anything reads its condition state before anything
//! writes. That is the rule and what it costs is now a small number: the zero going into a register
//! right before a comparison of something else stays a move, and the most the other rewrite can do
//! for it is make it a narrower one. Of the 215 moves of zero left over the corpus at `-Os`, 146
//! are this and the other 69 are the eight bit rule below. Not one of them is sixty-four bits wide.
//!
//! It was 1,232 until the whole function check stopped counting a comparison that keeps a byte as a
//! state read from in front of it, which is tamnd/rucc#1432 and was most of what this pass was
//! leaving alone rather than anything about the instructions it was looking at.
//!
//! Eight bits. `movb $0, %al` and `xorb %al, %al` are both two bytes, so the exchange buys nothing
//! and would spend the condition state on it. The target's table is where that is written down.
//!
//! Write an increment at a level that asked for fast code. That is the goal doing its job rather
//! than a limit, and it is why the same corpus compiled at `-O2` and at `-Os` now differs by
//! something other than which middle end passes ran.
//!
//! Add or take away anything but one. The machine has an opcode for one and for nothing else, so a
//! constant of two is already as short as it is going to be written.
//!
//! Turn an address computation into a move when the address is anything more than a register. An
//! index is a multiplication, a constant is an addition and a symbol is an address the assembler
//! fills in, and a move does none of those. That is what most address computations are for, so this
//! last rewrite is about the ones that were not computing anything rather than about address
//! computation in general.
