* Fix the type and the semantics of BI_bselXavier Leroy2021-09-221-4/+17
| | | | The return type is Tint8unsigned (i.e. _Bool), not Tint.
* Use the LGPL instead of the GPL for dual-licensed filesXavier Leroy2021-05-081-4/+5
| | | | | | The GPL makes sense for whole applications, but the dual-licensed Coq and OCaml files are more like libraries to be combined with other code, so the LGPL is more appropriate.
* Added semantics for the PowerPC sel and mulh built-insBernhard Schommer2020-11-071-4/+44
| | | | | | | | The semantics of the various selection functions are defined analogously to the ones from the type generic sel function. The semantics for the various high word multiplication functions is defined using the Integer functions. Bug 30035
* Refine the type of function results in AST.signatureXavier Leroy2020-02-211-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | 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.
* Give formal semantics to some built-in functions and run-time functionsXavier Leroy2019-07-171-0/+33
This commit adds mechanisms to - recognize certain built-in and run-time functions by name and signature; - associate semantics to these functions, as a partial function from list of values to values; - interpret external calls to these functions according to this semantics (pure function from values to values, memory unchanged, no observable events in the trace); - external calls to unknown built-in and run-time functions remain interpreted as generating observable events and possibly changing memory, like before. The description of the built-ins is split into a target-independent part (in common/Builtins0.v) and a target-specific part (in $ARCH/Builtins1.v). Instruction selection uses the new mechanism in order to - recognize some built-in functions and turn them into operations of the target processor. Currently, this is done for __builtin_sel and __builtin_fabs; more to come. - remove the axioms about int64 helper functions from the standard library. More precisely, the behavior of these functions is still axiomatized, but now it is specified using the more general machinery introduced in this commit, rather than ad-hoc axioms in backend/SplitLongproof. The only built-ins currently described are __builtin_fsqrt (for all platforms) and __builtin_fmin / __builtin_fmax (for x86). More built-ins will be added later.
