module GHC.CmmToAsm.Reg.Utils ( toRegMap, toVRegMap ) where {- Note [UniqFM and the register allocator] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Before UniqFM had a key type the register allocator wasn't picky about key types, using VirtualReg, Reg and Unique at various use sites for the same map. This is safe. * The Unique values come from registers at various points where we lose a reference to the original register value, but the unique is still valid. * VirtualReg is a subset of the registers in Reg's type. Making a value of VirtualReg into a Reg in fact doesn't change its unique. This is because Reg consists of virtual regs and real regs, whose unique values do not overlap. * Since the code was written in the assumption that keys are not typed it's hard to reverse this assumption now. So we get some gnarly but correct code where we often pass around Uniques and switch between using Uniques, VirtualReg and RealReg as keys of the same map. These issues were always there. But with the now-typed keys they become visible. It's a classic case of not all correct programs type checking. We reduce some of the burden by providing a way to cast UniqFM VirtualReg a to UniqFM Reg a in this module. This is safe as Reg is the sum of VirtualReg and RealReg. With each kind of register keeping the same unique when treated as Reg. TODO: If you take offense to this I encourage you to refactor this code. I'm sure we can do with less casting of keys and direct use of uniques. It might also be reasonable to just use a IntMap directly instead of dealing with UniqFM at all. -} import GHC.Types.Unique.FM import GHC.Platform.Reg -- These should hopefully be zero cost. toRegMap :: UniqFM VirtualReg elt -> UniqFM Reg elt toRegMap :: forall elt.
