* Refactored the whole codebase to use snake_case convention to
name functions and variables, including member variables.
Class naming is unchanged and each starts with upper-case
character. The intention of this change is to make the source
code more readable and consistent across multiple projects
where AsmJit is currently used.
* Refactored support.h to make it more shareable across projects.
* x86::Vec now inherits from UniVec
* minor changes in JitAllocator and WriteScope in order to make
the size of WriteScope smaller
* added ZoneStatistics and Zone::statistics() getter
* improved x86::EmitHelper to use tables instead of choose() and
other mechanisms to pick between SSE and AVX instructions
* Refactored the whole codebase to use snake_case convention for
for functions names, function parameter names, struct members,
and variables
* Added a non-owning asmjit::Span<T> type and use into public API
to hide the usage of ZoneVector in CodeHolder, Builder, and
Compiler. Users now only get Span (with data and size), which
doesn't require users to know about ZoneVector
* Removed RAWorkId from RATiedReg in favor of RAWorkReg*
* Removed GEN from LiveInfo as it's not needed by CFG construction
to save memory (GEN was merged with LIVE-IN bits). The remaining
LIVE-IN, LIVE-OUT, and KILL bits are enough, however KILL bits may
be removed in the future as KILL bits are not needed after LIVE-IN
and LIVE-OUT converged
* Optimized the representation of LIVE-IN, LIVE-OUT, and KILL bits
per block. Now only registers that live across multiple basic
blocks are included here, which means that virtual registers that
only live in a single block are not included and won't be overhead
during liveness analysis. This optimization alone can make liveness
analysis 90% faster depending on the code generated (more virtual
registers that only live in a single basic block -> more gains)
* Optimized building liveness information bits per block. The new
code uses an optimized algorithm to prevent too many traversals
and uses a more optimized code for a case in which not too many
registers are used (it avoids array operations if the number of
all virtual registers within the function fits a single BitWord)
* Optimized code that computes which virtual register is only used
in a single basic block - this aims to optimize register allocator
in the future by using a designed code path for allocating regs
only used in a single basic block
* Reduced the information required for each live-span, which is used
by bin-packing. Now the struct is 8 bytes, which is good for a lot
of optimizations C++ compiler can do
* Added UniCompiler (ujit) which can be used to share code paths
between X86, X86_64, and AArch64 code generation (experimental).
* 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
