Before, the back-end languages had distinct instructions
- Iannot for annotations, taking structured expressions (annot_arg)
as arguments, and producing no results'
- Ibuiltin for other builtins, using simple pseudoregs/locations/registers
as arguments and results.
This branch enriches Ibuiltin instructions so that they take structured
expressions (builtin_arg and builtin_res) as arguments and results.
This way,
- Annotations fit the general pattern of builtin functions,
so Iannot instructions are removed.
- EF_vload_global and EF_vstore_global become useless, as the
same optimization can be achieved by EF_vload/vstore taking
a structured argument of the "address of global" kind.
- Better code can be generated for builtin_memcpy between stack locations,
or volatile accesses to stack locations.
Finally, this commit also introduces a new kind of external function,
EF_debug, which is like EF_annot but produces no observable events.
It will be used later to transport debug info through the back-end,
without preventing optimizations.
