Interface ILinearInstructionSelector<TInstruction>

An instruction selection algorithm for instruction sets that produce linear streams of instructions, that is, control flow is expressed using branches to branch targets.

Inherited Members

IInstructionSelector<TInstruction>.SelectInstructions(NamedInstruction)

Namespace: Flame.Compiler.Target

Assembly: Flame.Compiler.dll

Syntax

public interface ILinearInstructionSelector<TInstruction> : IInstructionSelector<TInstruction>

Type Parameters

Name	Description
TInstruction	The type of instructions to produce.

Methods

CreateBlockMarker(BasicBlock)

Creates a sequence of instructions that declare the start of a basic block.

Declaration

IReadOnlyList<TInstruction> CreateBlockMarker(BasicBlock block)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
BasicBlock	block	The basic block to mark.

Returns

Type	Description
System.Collections.Generic.IReadOnlyList<TInstruction>	A sequence of instructions that mark a block.

CreateJumpTo(BasicBlockTag)

Creates an unconditional jump to a particular branch target.

Declaration

IReadOnlyList<TInstruction> CreateJumpTo(BasicBlockTag target)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
BasicBlockTag	target	A basic block tag that uniquely identifies a branch target.

Returns

Type	Description
System.Collections.Generic.IReadOnlyList<TInstruction>	An unconditional jump.

SelectInstructions(BlockFlow, BasicBlockTag, FlowGraph, BasicBlockTag, out BasicBlockTag)

Selects instructions for a particular IR block flow.

Declaration

SelectedFlowInstructions<TInstruction> SelectInstructions(BlockFlow flow, BasicBlockTag blockTag, FlowGraph graph, BasicBlockTag preferredFallthrough, out BasicBlockTag fallthrough)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
BlockFlow	flow	The IR block flow to translate to target-specific instructions.
BasicBlockTag	blockTag	The tag of the basic block that defines the flow.
FlowGraph	graph	The IR graph that defines the flow.
BasicBlockTag	preferredFallthrough	A preferred fallthrough block, which will likely result in better codegen if chosen as fallthrough. May be null.
BasicBlockTag	fallthrough	The fallthrough block expected by the selected instruction, if any.

Returns

Type	Description
SelectedFlowInstructions<TInstruction>	A batch of selected instructions.
