This commit prepares to publish the compiler-builtins crate to crates.io
in order for the standard library to directly depend on it from
crates.io in rust-lang/rust#56092
Profiling a recent demo I was playing with on `wasm32-unknown-unknown`
pointed me to the surprising result that 15% of the execution time was
in the `sqrt` intrinsic (there's a lot of math here). Upon investigation
I remembered that wasm (unconditionally) has a native `f32.sqrt`
instruction!
I was then subsequently confused that a simple `f.sqrt()` actually
codegens to use `f32.sqrt` in Rust, but I later realized that the
implementations of intrinsics in this library often use other intrinsics
to implement them. That means that the real intrinsic here, `acos`,
internally called `sqrt` at some point but wasn't using the optimized
implementation!
To help fix this situation this PR is intended on providing the
infrastructure for optimized implementations (via code generation) to be
used for each intrinsic. I've gone thorugh the various math instructions
that wasm has available and updated each of the intrinsic
implementations in this crate to optionally use the LLVM intrinsic
versions, which are known to unconditionally compile down to a single
instruction (unlike the arbitrary platform, where we don't know what it
will compile down to!).
To do this I created a new macro to wrap the invocation of LLVM
intrinsics. Invoking LLVM intrinsics is turned off by default (through a
new and on-by-default feature, `stable`). When the `stable` feature is
disabled, however, then the wasm-target specifically will enable usage
of the LLVM intrinsics. I've additionally added a CI builder which
should verify that these continue to build on Travis.
After this I intended to update the submodule in the `compiler-builtins`
repository so we can pull in the optimized implementation there, and
`compiler-builtins` naturally won't set `feature = "stable"` when
compiling so all the intrinsics should get compiled in by default. After
a further update of `the libcompiler_builtins` submodule in
rust-lang/rust we should be good to go!
Adds generic conversion from a wider to a narrower IEEE-754
floating-point type.
Implement `__truncdfsf2` and `__truncdfsf2vfp` and associated test-cases.
This was an accidental regression introduced in #252 by removing compilation of
C files without adjusting the `#[use_c_shim_if]` directives. This restores the
compilation of the assembly files and updates the `#[use_c_shim_if]` directives.
this eliminates panicking branches in the optimized version of the functions. We keep the bounds
checks when running the test suite to check that we never do an out of bounds access.
This commit also adds a "must link" test that ensures that future changes in our implementation
won't add panicking branches.
