* Reworked register operands - all vector registers are now
platform::Vec deriving from UniVec (universal vector operand),
additionally, there is no platform::Reg, instead asmjit::Reg
provides all necessary features to make it a base register for
each target architecture
* Reworked casting between registers - now architecture agnostic
names are preferred - use Gp32 instead of Gpd or GpW, Gp64
instead of Gpq and GpX, etc...
* Reworked vector registers and their names - architecture
agnostic naming is now preferred Vec32, Vec64, Vec128, etc...
* Reworked naming conventions used across AsmJit - for clarity
Identifiers are now prefixed with the type, like sectionId(),
labelId(), etc...
* Reworked how Zone and ZoneAllocator are used across AsmJit,
prefering Zone in most cases and ZoneAllocator only for
containers - this change alone achieves around 5% better
performance of Builder and Compiler
* Reworked LabelEntry - decreased the size of the base entry
to 16 bytes for anonymous and unnamed labels. Avoided an
indirection when using labelEntries() - LabelEntry is now
a value and not a pointer
* Renamed LabelLink to Fixup
* Added a new header <asmjit/host.h> which would include
<asmjit/core.h> + target tools for the host architecture,
if enabled and supported
* Added new AArch64 instructions (BTI, CSSC, CHKFEAT)
* Added a mvn_ alternative of mvn instruction (fix for Windows
ARM64 SDK)
* Added more AArch64 CPU features to CpuInfo
* Added better support for Apple CPU detection (Apple M3, M4)
* Added a new benchmarking tool asmjit_bench_overhead, which
benchmarks the overhead of CodeHolder::init()/reset() and
creating/attaching emitters to it. Thanks to the benchmark the
most common code-paths were optimized
* Added a new benchmarking tool asmjit_bench_regalloc, which
aims to benchmark the cost and complexity of register allocation.
* Renamed asmjit_test_perf to asmjit_bench_codegen to make it
clear what is a test and what is a benchmark
* Renamed all eq() methods to equals() (consistency) (ABI)
* Reorganized some X86 instructions in X86 database
* Properly detect RISC-V CPU at compile time (Environment)
* Removed CallConvId::kNone in favor of defaulting to kCDecl (ABI)
* CallConvId::kHost is now alias to CallConvId::kCDecl (ABI)
* Added FloatABI to Environment to disginguish between softfloat
and hardfloat
* Added more AArch64 CPU features and their detection (ABI)
* Because of CallConvId changes it's now possible to run
compiler tests on 32-bit ARM (fixes a bug in test cases)
* Added QEMU to CI build matrix to test different architectures
[ABI] Added ABI version as an inline namespace, which forms asmjit::_abi_MAJOR_MINOR
[ABI] Added support for AVX512_FP16, 16-bit broadcast, and AVX512_FP16 tests
[ABI] Added initial support for consecutive registers into instruction database and register allocator
[ABI] Added a possibility to use temporary memory in CodeHolder's zone
[ABI] Compiler::setArg() is now deprecated, use FuncNode::setArg()
[Bug] Fixed correct RW information of instructions that only support implicit zeroing with {k}
[Bug] Fixed broadcast to be able to broadcast bcst16 operands
Refactored build system macros (ASMJIT_BUILD_STATIC -> ASMJIT_STATIC)
Refactored AVX512 broadcast {1toN} - moved to operand from instruction.
Refactored naming - renamed getters to not use get prefix.
Refactored code structure - move arch-specific stuff into x86 namespace.
Refactored some compiler/arch-specific macros, respect rel/abs option in mov REG, [ADDR].
Refactored StringBuilder (Renamed to String, added small string optimization).
Refactored LabelId<->LabelEntry mapping, force label offset to 64-bits on all archs.
Renamed Runtime to Target (JitRuntime kept for now).
Renamed VirtMemManager to JitAllocator.
Renamed VirtMem to JitUtils.
Renamed FuncSignatureX to FuncSignatureBuilder.
Fixed xchg [mem], rex-lo, refactored RelocEntry.
Fixed Logger to always show abs|rel when formatting a memory operand
Fixed Logger to prefix HEX numbers with 0x prefix
Fixed Support::ctzGeneric to always return uint32_t, T doesn't matter.
Fixed LightCall to not save MMX and K registers
Fixed CpuInfo constructor to propagate NoInit (#243)
Added VAES, AVX512_VBMI2, AVX512_VNNI, and AVX512_BITALG cpu-features and instructions.
Added emscripten support (asmjit can be now compiled by emscripten).
Added asmjit.natvis for better MSVC experience
Added x86::ptr_abs|ptr_rel
Added support for multibyte nop r/m (#135)
Added support for 32-bit to 64-bit zero-extended addresses, improved validation of memory addresses, and removed wrt address type as this will be reworked
Added support for multiple sections, reworked address table support (previously known as trampolines)
Added the following x86 modifiers to the x86::Emitter - xacquire(), xrelease(), and k(kreg)
Added a possibility to use REP prefix with RET instruction
Added a possibility to relocate [rel addr] during relocate()
Added a variadic function-call support (Compiler), argument duplication (Compiler), better /dev/shm vs /tmp shared memory handling (VirtMem).
Removed imm_u imm_ptr helpers, imm() can now accept any integer and pointer.
Changed the default behavior of optimizing instructions to disabled with a possibility to enable that feature through kOptionOptimizedForSize
Use default copy construction / assignment to prevent new kind of warnings introduced by GCC 9
