1 ... no more updated, see cvs entries.
4 Implemented scc algorithm. Added datastructure to mark
5 backedges (ana/backedge.h) and to represent loops
6 (ana/irloop.h). The scc algorithm (ana/irscc.c) builds
8 The algorithm does not yet work properly for interprocedural
9 graphs. Finds more loops than only recursions.
11 Improved place_code: now moves nodes out of loops.
12 Fixed bug in iropt.c: wrong parameter in debug info: iropt_dbg.c
13 Now flag set_opt_control_flow can be set to 1 again.
17 u.a. Zugrffsfkt normalisiert,
18 global, frame type nicht mehr in irp_types
20 mehr Zugriffsfkt bei entitaeten
24 Added several constructors to tv.
25 Changed xgprintf so that full precision of double tvs is printed.
26 Fixed bug in irouts.c.
29 Added debug support, renamed stuff in ir/debug.
30 Optimizations still loose debug information.
33 Added flag "peculiarity" to entity.h, type.h.
36 Bug: dominator construction aborts for BreakTest with flag 3.31
37 Problem: optimization of many subsequent blocks (Jmp-chains)
38 where one is inlined (Tuple control flow) in a loop. Not all
39 nodes in merged blocks are moved to remaining block.
40 Fix: different calling order to optimize_in_place_2 from
41 optimize_in_place_wrapper.
42 Bug: dumping cfg when a block is Bad. Fix: Output Bad node.
43 Change: not only turn off cse but all optimizations during
47 Parted common.h into two files common_t.h. By this config.h
48 as well as the preprocessor flags are no more visible externaly.
49 Adapted include directives.
52 Bugfix in inlining: problems in combination with cse.
55 Implemented cf optimizations.
56 Checked compiler flags -- sorted better to fit optimizations.
60 Implemented code placement.
64 irdom implemented: dominator information.
67 Bugfix Optmierung Binops mit mode Tupel.
70 irgopt: inline_small_irgs implemented
73 Bugfixes, some access functions ...
76 New directory: ana for analyses. Adapted configure/makefiles
77 implemented irout: backedges. Added one field to ir_graph, one to ir_node.
78 Implemented state management for irgraphs: see irgraph.h.
79 Must now call finalize_cons() after graph construction!!
83 Flag pinned in irop, irgraph.
84 Global cse in irop, setting the irgraph flag.
85 Example programs: Endless_loop.c. global_cse.c.
89 Implemented support for endless loops:
91 Adapted Phi constructors so that memory phis are added.
92 Adapted Cond optimization: add block to End.
93 Adapted dead node elimination: compation of Ends predecessors
94 Adapted inlineing: remember keepalives of inlined graph.
95 Added informative strings to asserts in irvrfy.
98 Added volatile flag to entity, order flag to array.
99 Added a set of assertions.
102 Added access function set_class_members()
105 Asserts in irvrfy that verify the mode of Proj nodes. For Start,
106 Call, Return they check the corresponding function type! Corrected
107 bugs in testprograms.
108 Some asserts for legal values of 'pos' arguments in type/entity
112 Some access routines for visited flags in entity.h, irnode.h,
113 bug in oo_program_example.
116 Removed all obsolete Makefiles
119 Added support for constant entities. A new example program illustrates
120 their use. Extended dumper routines to dump constant values.
123 Extendend "comfortable" construction interface by some methods
124 serving as simple shortcuts.
127 Added a class type to irgs. This class type is to be used as owner
128 for local entities of the procedure. This are all entities allocated
129 for each execution of the procedure.
130 The class type is allocated automatically by new_ir_graph(). Access
131 routines to get this type are in irgraph.h.
132 We chose a class type as this allows to represent "inner" procedures
134 Adapted array-stack-example.
137 irdump outputs nodeids instead of pointers for labels of nodes.
138 With a preprocessor flag in common.h this can be turned off.
141 Added an Id tag to every .c and .h file
144 Changed SSA constuction for exception control flow.
145 If PRECISE_EXC_CONTEXT is used Phi nodes will use the values
146 valid when the execption operation was allocated. This increases
147 the memory consuption of the construction algorithm by
148 n_loc * #fragile_ops.
151 Added method to replace in array of a node in irnode.c/h
152 Added functionality to irgmod:
153 * collect all Phi nodes as link-list in the Blocks link field
154 * collect all Proj nodes as link-list in node producing the tuple.
155 * Seperate a Block into two
156 Added inlining transformation in irgopt.h
157 Improved output of dump_ir_block_graph. Now also dumps nodes that
158 don't belong to a block.
159 Added flag opt_unreachable_code, opt_inline.
160 Changed irvrfy so that it accepts nodes with Bad predecessors.
163 renamed get_type_nameid to get_type_ident
166 Bugfix: dead node elimination did not replace the hash table
170 Added routine remove_irp_irg.
171 Changed comment to free_ir_graph.
174 Added routine to free irgraphs.
177 Improved add routines to sub, supertype in type.c
180 Added implementation of overwrites stuff.
183 Implemented stuff to change the type graph. See
184 typegmod.h and tpop.h for basic documentation of the change.
185 There now exists a type of kind type_id. If this appears
186 externally this is a bug.
189 Added some new access routines to types.
190 List of overwritten fields for entities.
191 Removed a bug in irnode.
194 Added a routine to set the mangled entity name.
195 Added two routines to copy entites.
198 Entities now have two more flags, for visibility and allocation mode.
199 Types that have a layout have a flag indicating whether the layout is
203 We distinguish three kinds of Cond nodes. These can be distinguished
204 by the mode of the selector operand and an internal flag of type cond_kind.
205 First we distinguish binary Conds and switch Conds.
206 A binary Cond has as selector a boolean value. Proj(0) projects the control
207 flow for case "False", Proj(1) the control flow for "True". A binary Cond
208 is recognized by the boolean selector.
209 The switch Cond has as selector an unsigned integer. It produces as result
210 an n+1 Tuple (cf0, ... , cfn) of control flows.
211 We differ two flavours of this Cond. The first, the dense Cond, passes
212 control along output i if the selector value is i, 0 <= i <= n. If the
213 selector value is >n it passes control along output n.
214 The second Cond flavor differes in the treatment of cases not specified in
215 the source program. It magically knows about the existence of Proj nodes.
216 It only passes control along output i, 0 <= i <= n, if a node Proj(Cond, i)
217 exists. Else it passes control along output n (even if this Proj does not
218 exist.) This Cond we call "fragmentary". There is a special constructor
219 new_defaultProj that automatically sets the flavor.
220 The two switch flavors are distinguished by a flag of type cond_kind.
221 Default flavor is "dense"
225 tv now implements Minus, Abs.
226 iropt now optimizes these and Div, Mod, Quot, DivMod.
227 Still missing: Shrs, Rot.
228 tarval_shr somtimes performs shrs, depending on the compiler/system!!
229 If the ArmRoq implementation is faulty there might appear errors.
232 Changed ircons: If undefined values are used the Phi construction
233 inserts a constant with value tarval_bad.
236 Changed array bounds in type.h to ir_node*. This allows to
237 construct array bounds that are complex constant expressions
238 simpler. Further dynamic array bounds can be displayed.
239 Comment in ircons.c extended: undefined values in start_block.
242 ifdef'ed all uses of gmp in tv.c away. Optimizations for
243 mode_Z no more supported, as well as constants of that mode.
246 Dokumentation in ir_dump
247 Habe Routinen fuer einzelne Knoten/Kanten aus header entfernt:
248 Benutzen globale Variable die nicht oeffentlich zugaenglich ist.
251 We need an entity for the array elements for the Sel nodes. This
252 entity should be stored in the array type. Changed constructor
253 parameters: include array element type. Entity for elements is built
258 Faulty use of va_arg, became visible with new, stricter gcc 2.96.
261 Added list of member entites to union. unioned_types and delimiters
262 are superfluous now -- removed.
263 Rationale: we want to express selection of a union member as a Sel
264 node. for this we need to have entities. The entities contain the
265 unioned type and have as name the delimiters...
268 Changed Makefile/MakeTargets to install headers and libraries
272 Changed Makefile and Configure scripts to produce a proper tar file
273 for distribution (libfirm-VERSION.tar)
274 Use 'make distrib' instead of 'make dist'
277 Changed implementation of tr module. With this I also changed the
278 interface!! Type casts are unnecessary now, but some access funcions
282 ======================================================================
283 ==================== New version: 0.3.0 ==============================
284 ======================================================================
290 added creation of a tar archive for distribution
291 replaced ir/.dummy.in by ir/Makefile.in
294 Changed equivalent_node() and copy_preds() so that the end block
295 is not optimized away if it has no real predecessors. This fixes
296 the problem with the while examples.
297 Added while_example in Makefile
300 Fooled around with if_while_example: Why does cse make it abort?
301 Cse removes path to End node, Bad remains as pred of Endblock.
302 The block walker can't deal with this.
303 Made new example with only loop: while_example.
306 added auto documentation in Makefiles, configure, etc
307 example in ir/ir/ircons.c - much must be added
308 creation of documentation by 'make autodoc' in architecture directory
311 added lots of #ifdef HAVE_CONFIG_G #include "config.h" #endif
312 replaced some C++ style comments (//) by standard C comments /**/
315 - configure (with some features, see --help for more)
316 - make [depend | tags | install]
317 - make [run] in testprograms
319 - compilation on SunOS
321 - automatic call of autoconf if required
324 More colours in vcg output.
325 Fixed bug: cse found that start block equals it's
326 first successor as both have the Start block as predecessor.
327 This only happens for local_optimize_graph() as during construction
328 the Start block is not entered in the value table.
329 Changed implementation: irgmod: local_optimize_graph() did not
330 empty the hash table with the irnodes for cse. This might cause that
331 cse turns up with a node that seems better but was removed from the
332 graph in an earlier optimization phase.
333 Removed old #if 1 from ircons.c
334 Commented in call of optimization for Block nodes in irgopt.c, copy_preds():
335 Optimizes blocks that had bad predecessors.
340 Moved struct from irprog.h to irprog_t.h, same for irmode.h.
341 Added a module deb_info in debug.h. Adapted makefile. Added example
343 Removed use of debug.h in ident.c. Now debug.c|h can be moved to
345 Removed inabled code for dead node elimination in irgopt.h.
346 Renamed some missnamed access routines (_of_). Macros with old names
347 are in old_fctnames.h.
348 Edited makefiles to remove #* and *.flc.
351 Some minor bugfixes...
354 After compacting of in arrays in dead_node_elimination
355 merge blocks and remove Phis with one pred.
358 Freeing of obstack in dead_node_elimination commented in.
359 Compacting in arrays of Block and Phi nodes in dead_node_
364 added set/get_SymConst_type_or_id in irnode.h
365 added field offset to entity in entity.h
366 added field size to type_class in type.h
367 include "gmp.h" in tv.h with "" instead <>
370 Some changes to make the lib better portable
373 Initialize max_node_nr in irprog.
376 Now outputs warning if faulty type in irdump, dump_type_info.
377 Explicit string termination in irdump, vcg_open.
380 Added external to declaration of irp.
381 Added typedef before pns and pnc_number.
382 irmode.c, init_mode(): We need to memset all new modes as
383 tarval_vrfy reads fields before they are initialized: It
384 compares to min/max when tarvals for min/max are allocated!
387 Changed parameter of Methods in type.h and type.c from
388 class to clss. Class is a C++ keyword.
391 Changed some testprograms to accomodate Uebprakt.
394 Finished implementation of dump_all_types.
395 Added new testprogram inheritance_example.
398 Added seven access routines in type.[hc]:
399 get_class_n_member, get_class_n_subtype, get_class_n_supertype,
400 get_strct_n_member, add_strct_member, get_strct_member and set_strct_member.
401 Fixed the type_walk_2 for those seven routines.
404 Added irdump routine dump_all_types.
405 Did changes to irprog, type, typewalk to achieve this.
406 typewalk needs to walk along members, sub and supertypes, this
407 is still missing! irdump then needs to output these edges.
409 ======================================================================
410 ==================== New version: 0.2.5 ==============================
411 ======================================================================
414 Made new Version: 0.2.5
416 15.8.2000 Goetz until 3.9.00
417 Separated irnode.h and many others into two files: one public
419 Added funcionality to extract headers for lib.
422 type_dump also dumps irg->ent
423 if_example: corrected nr of locals
426 irgopt: Correct copy of self pointer in start block.
427 irgopt: Correct treatment of loops: pre function in walker
428 breaks all possible loops in Phi and Block nodes.
429 irr_loop_example: wrong Return statement
430 Now I fixed all but one error: in memory_example.
431 This error showed a conceptual problem, so I wrote
432 a slightly different algorithm. This now runs for
434 dead_node_example: cse is buggy!! merges start and the
438 looking at bug in dead_node_elimination.
440 irnode: all get_..._arr functions changed
441 ircons: new_r_Block: set matured flag.
442 ircons: new_r_SymConst: needs mode_p for linkage_ptr_info.
443 adapted call_str_example to new concepts.
446 Implemented simpler Phi construction algorithm that constructs
447 correct code for three_cfpred_example in ircons. This algorithm
448 generates more Id nodes than the original algorithm and therefore
450 Also made some changes to optimizations of Not.
453 Fixed a bug, caused by the recursive use in type.h and entity.h.
454 Deleted the _TYPE_TYPEDEF_ and inserted the _ENTITY_TYPEDEF_ instead.
455 Fixed a problem in if_while testprogram, so it now works.
458 Fixed bug in optimize(). Returned Null instead n if
459 get_optimize() == false.
462 Added some access routines in type.[hc]. Solved a recursive definition
463 of type_class struct, entity struct and type union.
466 Separated entity header into pure functional header and header
470 ... a bunch small changes not documented
473 Changed output of oo_prog_example: now uses the internal list
474 of all irgs. Had to implement some of the access routines for
475 that. Also fixed a bug in irdump. Main routines did not use
476 current_ir_graph properly.
479 Implemented some missing parts in irgopt.
480 Added field irg to entity. Only valid if entity is a method.
481 Had to resove a cyclic de[endency between irgraph.h and entity.h
483 Added fields sub and super to type_class for inheritance.
484 Added field main_irg to irprog.
487 Fixed some bugs in irgopt.c
488 Added some missing 'get_new_node' methods, so the new obstack contains
492 Renamed ir_vrfy to irn_vrfy and vrfy_graphg to irg_vrfy.
493 Solved some copy'n'paste problems. Deleted most debug-code!
494 Added comments to several files.
497 Fixed bug in _r_ constructors for all four Div operations.
498 Fixed bug in turn_into_tuple: didn't remember the block.
499 Tested transform_node.
502 Fixed some testprograms to new semantics of firm.
503 Added testprogram global_var_example.
504 Fixed a bug in irop: Size of Sel node was (entity *) instead of
505 sel_attr. Therefor array_heap_example aborted.
506 Also found a missing break in typewalk, case iro_Alloc.
507 Added a construct that unifies all things constructed by the lib
508 and needed to represent a program: irprog.ch
509 This contains a list of all types as well as a list of all ir graphs.
510 I added calls to initialization and constructors so that this is constructed
511 automatically. I changed firm.c, type.c, irgraph.c and ev. more.
512 Removed strange block struct and constructor from ircons.c.
513 Moved routines for automatic Phi construction from irgmod to ircons.
514 Sorted functions in ircons to reflect the different interfaces.
515 Renamed dataseg to globals to be conformant with documentation.
516 Added conservation of current_ir_graph to irgopt.c.
517 Corrected bug in Makefiles: wrong path to directory ./inlude.
520 Commented a whole bunch of stuff, e.g. in ircons.h (Procedure to construct)
521 We should change the naming of the Block constructor.
522 Removed acces routines to attr. "closed" of Block.
523 Removed second implementation of new_ir_node from ircons and some comments
524 concerned with the now resolved cyclic dependency.
525 Fixed some bugs in irgopt so that the compilation goes through.
528 Changed the irnode attribut 'visit' into 'visited'.
529 Added some access functions, like get/set_irn_visit etc.
532 Renamed some access funtion in irgraph.*.
533 Deleted two global flags (ir_visited and block_visited) from irgraph.*.
534 Added two attributes to the irgraph struct. The visited flags belongs
535 to a ir graph, not to a whole program.
538 A new optimization has been finished. The dead-node-elimination copies
539 the existing ir graph from one opstack to another. While walking the
540 graph, only the reachable nodes will be copied, so the "dead-nodes"
541 (unreachable in the controlflow) are removed.
544 Solved some problems in the 'copy_node' function. The in array was not
545 as easy as it seamed.
548 Wrote a new 'post' funtion, for future use in 'dead-node-elimination'
549 optimization, which is needed in the paramter list of 'irg_walk'.
552 Moved 'optimze_in_place_wrapper' from iropt.* tothe new files irgopt.*.
553 New functions 'local_optimze_graph' and 'dead_node_elimination' are added,
557 Removed some files from the archive, after dependencies and usage are
559 - 'ir/common/strerror.c'
561 - 'ir/ident/xx_ident.h'
562 an empty file, only included by 'ident.c', but never used;
563 - 'ir/tv/label.c' and
565 contained a numeric counter;
566 The files were included in 'tv.h' and implemented in 'tarval.c'. The two
567 functions 'tarval_label' and 'tarval_forall_labeled' were also never used.
568 In the old fiasco compiler, the label thing is used in the backend.
569 Search for 'babil' to see the usage.
570 Also removed the two attributes 'lab' and 'used' in the tarval struct.
573 Moved the 'new_ir_node' constructor from ircons.* to irnode.* and fixed
574 afterwards some recursive includes, so libfirm works again.
577 Did a lot of changes, which I never commented until now (4.7.00).
579 * Added new result to Start node: Pointer to global data segment.
580 * Extended Semantics of SymConst node to represent information for the
582 * Added arithmeitc nodes (Shrs, Minus ...)
584 Rearranged the directory structure and adjusted the makefiles.
585 The directories contain:
586 ir: everything for the intermediate representation (better: src?)
587 /ir: the ir itself, and standard optimizations.
588 /tv: the target value module
589 /tr: the type and entity representation
590 /adt: abstract data types
591 /common: stuff needed by all other dirs
592 /debug: debugging Unterstuetzung
594 include: external files needen as includes
595 testprograms: examples to test the lib.
597 The makefiles generate files with extension .d that contain the dependencies
601 Added access routine to attribute link of irnode in irnode.ch.
602 Added get_negated_pnc to irnode.ch.
605 Added an iterator in iropt that calls the optimization for all nodes.
606 Copied optimize's code to optimize_in_place and removed deallocations.
607 Made set_irn_n in irnode.c public.
608 Added Bad as possible cfg predecessor in is_cfg_node in irnode. Bads
609 are allowded as cfgpredecessors to represent dead "incoming" control
611 Added call to optimize_in_place in mature_block. Is this useful?
614 Changed tests from comparing enums to comparing pointers. This is more
615 efficient (is it?) and reads better. e.g., instead get_irn_opcode == irm_And
616 now get_irn_op == op_And
619 Compared equivalent_value to the one in the original fiasco.
620 Added a test in case iro_And.
621 Changed implementation of iro_Div. Added routines turn_into_tuple
622 and set_irn_op() in irgmod/irnode.
623 Changed implementation of irn_Minus (although commented out).
624 Now all features are ported or documented for this function.
627 Compared computed_value to the one in the original fiasco.
628 Added one further optimization in case iro_Proj.
629 Now all features are ported for this function.
632 Updated comments in ircons.h.
635 Changed possible attribute of SymConst from type_class to type.
636 SymConst size could be the size of a union, array, ...
639 Implemented two dumpers that dump type information and a graph with
643 Implemented a walker that walks over the type informatin that can
644 be reached from an ir node.
645 Added routine get_kind(firm_thing) in common.h, Added file common.c.
646 Added files typewalk.ch and routines to irdump.
647 Added visited flags and initialization to entity and all types.
648 Implemented some of the missing access routines in type.c, entity.c
651 Implemented constructor for ShrA.
653 Added routine that iterates the graph and verifies all nodes.
654 Added Phi_in stack to irgraph. This allows to build several
655 graphs at once with respect to the Phi building algorithm.
658 Implemented dumper for control flow graphs. Changed irr_* and dead_*
659 examples to dump cfg.
662 Implemeted explicit stack for the Phi node generation. See ircons.c.
665 added include string.h in xoprintf.c to get rid of warning:
666 implicit declaration of function `bcopy'
670 Added more cases to equivalent_node.
671 Portet gigo, identify, identify_remember.
672 The set/pset library can not handle several hash tables. At least,
673 compiling several procedures causes a segmentation fault during access
674 to the tables (oo_program_example). Need to work on this.
675 transform_node still needs to be ported.
676 some cases in equivalent_node are still missing.
678 To get it running I had to remove the call to optimize in the
679 new_Block constructor. It can only be called when the Block is
683 Introduced a walker that walks only over blocks. The asserts
684 might be too strict for general graphs, but so far it works.
685 For the walker I introduced an additional flag in the attribute
686 of Blocks, an a global block_visited variable (in irgraph.h).
687 Furhter I modularized dump_ir_node, implemented dump_ir_graph
688 with the existing walker, and added new routines to output a
690 Changed the examples to call the new dump routine.
693 Added auxiliary routines to ir_node:
694 skip_Proj, skip_Nop, is_Bad ...
695 Changed access routines to use get_irn_n instead of explicit array
696 accesses. Changed get_irn_n to call skip_Id, so that the access routines
697 never will return Id nodes.
700 Repaired Phi computation, changed new_r_Phi_in. Added test program to
701 test irregular controlflow.
704 Updated optimizations computed_value and equivalent_node to new
705 Syntax of FIRM nodes and to use access routines.
706 Added routine skip_Proj in irnode.
708 2.2.2000 Boris Boesler
709 Added files irgwalk.c and irgwalk.h. They include a simple function to
710 traverse an ir graph and execute pre and post functions to current node.
713 Added arrays with parameters and result types to the type informtion
714 of a procedure. This is needed for the code generation. Also added
715 the corresponding access routines.
716 Adapted the testprograms.
719 Found a bug / complication: the call order
720 get_value (makes Phi0, put's it into graph_arr)
721 set_value (overwrites Phi0 in graph_arr)
722 mature_block (upgrades Phi0, puts it again into graph_arr, overwriting
724 fails. Added test wether graph_arr is already set in phi_merge.
726 Added tons of comments to explain Phi generation -- the stack hack.
730 irdump now outputs the pnc_number for projs of Cmp nodes.
731 Added routine to access the pnc_string.
734 Added result "dataseg" to Start node, with all it's consequences.
735 We need this for the compiler lab to translate global variables.
736 Now they can be selected from the data segment, and the start
737 node supplies the pointer to this segment.
738 These changes are guarded by preprocessor variable UEBPRAKT in
740 Changed files: common.h, irgraph.ch, irnode.h
744 removed array_example, added array-heap_example and
745 array-stack_example and adapted makefile.
747 Entity now also allows type_method as owner. This is to model
748 the stack, Sel nodes that select a variable (array) from the
749 stack need an entity that describes what they select. This
750 entity gets the type of the enclosing procedure as owner.
753 Added future access routines in `irmode.[ch]' as comments,
754 that all attributes in the ir_mode struct can be user-defined.
755 Added access routines in `irgraph.[ch]', for all attributes.
758 Moved verify routines from `irgraph.[ch]' to own files `irvrfy.[ch]'.
759 Added `irvrfy.[ch]' to MAKEFILE
760 Added "inline" before access routines in `irnode.h', that no warnings

774 Adapted all testprograms to avoid warnings.
776 removed dtest ... from Makefile, replaced by test.
