* 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
The problem was that the sign/zero extension was not working with
TypeIds, but it was working with register IDs, when emitted. Thus,
even when TypeId was uint8, for example, the register could be
uint32, so the final instruction emitted was 'movzx eax, eax', for
example, which was wrong.
* Refactored workflows to use a single workflow for both VM and non-VM builds
* Compiler tests are now able to test compilation of 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
