Expand description

Instruction formats and opcodes.

The instructions module contains definitions for instruction formats, opcodes, and the in-memory representation of IR instructions.

A large part of this module is auto-generated from the instruction descriptions in the meta directory.

Structs

  • Value type constraints for a given opcode.
  • A value type set describes the permitted set of types for a type variable.
  • A variable list of Value operands used for function call arguments and passing arguments to basic blocks.

Enums

Type Definitions

  • Some instructions use an external list of argument values because there is not enough space in the 16-byte InstructionData struct. These value lists are stored in a memory pool in dfg.value_lists.
  • Memory pool for holding value lists. See ValueList.
