Before printing a comment, remove trailing whitespace. Generation would output `// ` for empty comments. So we trim the whitespace off the end before printing.
Go added the TOPFRAME attribute in https://golang.org/cl/169726/. This diff adds the new attribute to avo, and also updates handling of the REFLECTMETHOD attribute.
Updates modules handling so build passes in Go 1.13. Bypasses modules for tools install in bootstrap. Upgrades golangci-lint version to avoid bug with v1.17.1 under Go 1.13.
Fixes#95
Adds support for a `CancellingInputs` instruction flag, to indicate cases like `XORQ R10, R10` where the instruction actually does not depend on the value of `R10` at all.
Closes#89
In jump-table-like constructs, the natural way of writing the code can sometimes produce redundant jumps or labels. Therefore some basic cleanup steps have been proposed. This diff adds two transforms:
1. Remove unconditional jumps to a label immediately following.
2. Remove labels with no references at all.
Fixes#75
In some cases natural use of abstraction in avo programs can lead to redundant move instructions, specifically self-moves such as MOVQ AX, AX. This does not produce incorrect code but it is incorrect and inelegant.
This diff introduces a PruneSelfMoves pass that removes such unnecessary instructions.
Closes#76
Issue #77 pointed out that in the case of named array types, the gotypes Components type fails to recognize the underlying type as an array. In fact this problem was more widespread. This diff fixes the missing calls to Underlying() and adds some test cases.
Fixes#77
It was pointed out #73 that Bytes() is a poor name for the size of the register in bytes. In idiomatic Go you would probably expect a Bytes() method to return []byte.
This diff changes the Bytes() to Size(). As a result the Size type also needed to be renamed, and Width seemed a reasonable choice.
Fixes#73
Provides a method on `gotypes.Component` to allow pointer dereference. This will enable `gotypes` helpers to be used with struct pointer arguments, for example.
Updates #53Fixes#54
By using Implement you can provide a definition of a function, taking the signature from a stub in the package. One major benefit of this approach is it makes it easy to handle external types in the function signature.
Updates #55
Previously aliases were stored in a map which was causing
non-deterministic code generation (see recent build failures). This diff
changes to a slice to avoid this problem.
Updates #50
The Go assembler merges MOVD/MOVQ instruction forms. The logic in the
avo instruction loader was discarding the MOVD forms. This diff should
merge them correctly.
Updates #50
