* Qualify `Hint` as `Global Hint` where appropriateXavier Leroy2021-01-211-1/+1
| | | | | | | This avoids a new warning of Coq 8.13. Eventually these `Global Hint` should become `#[export] Hint`, with a cleaner but different meaning than `Global Hint`.
* Support re-normalization of function parameters at function entryXavier Leroy2021-01-161-6/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is complementary to 28f235806 Some ABIs leave more flexibility concerning function parameters than CompCert expects. For instance, the AArch64/ELF ABI allow the caller of a function to leave unspecified the "padding bits" of function parameters. As an example, a parameter of type "unsigned char" may not have zeros in bits 8 to 63, but may have any bits there. When the caller is compiled by CompCert, it normalizes argument values to the parameter types before the call, so padding bits are always correct w.r.t. the type of the argument. This is no longer guaranteed in interoperability scenarios, when the caller is not compiled by CompCert. This commit adds a general mechanism to insert "re-normalization" conversions on the parameters of a function, at function entry. This is controlled by the platform-dependent function Convention1.return_value_needs_normalization. The semantic preservation proof is still conducted against the CompCert model, where the argument values of functions are already normalized. What the proof shows is that the extra conversions have no effect in this case. In future work we could relax the CompCert model, allowing functions to pass arguments that are not normalized.
* Replace `omega` tactic with `lia`Xavier Leroy2020-12-291-8/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | Since Coq 8.12, `omega` is flagged as deprecated and scheduled for removal. Also replace CompCert's homemade tactics `omegaContradiction`, `xomega`, and `xomegaContradiction` with `lia` and `extlia`. Turn back on the deprecation warning for uses of `omega`. Make the proof of `Ctypes.sizeof_pos` more robust to variations in `lia`.
* AArch64: macOS portXavier Leroy2020-12-261-75/+157
| | | | | This commit adds support for macOS (and probably iOS) running on AArch64 / ARM 64-bit / "Apple silicon" processors.
* Platform-independent implementation of Conventions.size_arguments (#222)Xavier Leroy2020-02-241-107/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The "size_arguments" function and its properties can be systematically derived from the "loc_arguments" function and its properties. Before, the RISC-V port used this derivation, and all other ports used hand-written "size_arguments" functions and proofs. This commit moves the definition of "size_arguments" to the platform-independent file backend/Conventions.v, using the systematic derivation, and removes the platform-specific definitions. This reduces code and proof size, and makes it easier to change the calling conventions.
* AArch64: normalize function return values of small integer typeXavier Leroy2020-02-211-3/+11
| | | | | | | According to AAPCS64 (the AArch64 ABI specification), the top bits of the register containing the function result have unspecified value, so we need to sign- or zero-extend the function result before using it, as in the x86 port.
* Support re-normalization of values returned by function callsXavier Leroy2020-02-211-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some ABIs leave more flexibility concerning function return values than CompCert expects. For example, the x86 ABI says that a function result of type "char" is returned in register AL, leaving the top 24 bits of register EAX unspecified, while CompCert expects EAX to contain 32 valid bits, namely the zero- or sign-extension of the 8-bit result. This commits adds a general mechanism to insert "re-normalization" conversions on the results of function calls. Currently, it only deals with results of small integer types, and inserts zero- or sign-extensions if so instructed by a platform-dependent function, Convention1.return_value_needs_normalization. The conversions in question are inserted early in the front-end, so that they can be optimized away in the back-end. The semantic preservation proof is still conducted against the CompCert model, where the return values of functions are already normalized. What the proof shows is that the extra conversions have no effect in this case. In future work we could relax the CompCert model, allowing functions to return values that are not normalized.
* Refine the type of function results in AST.signatureXavier Leroy2020-02-211-9/+8
| | | | | | | | | | Before it was "option typ". Now it is a proper inductive type that can also express small integer types (8/16-bit unsigned/signed integers). One benefit is that external functions get more precise types that control better their return values. As a consequence, the CompCert C type preservation property now holds unconditionally, without extra typing hypotheses on external functions.
* AArch64 portXavier Leroy2019-08-081-0/+380
This commit adds a back-end for the AArch64 architecture, namely ARMv8 in 64-bit mode.
