Merger of dmalcolm/jit branch from git
ChangeLog: * ChangeLog.jit: New. * MAINTAINERS (Various Maintainers): Add myself as jit maintainer. contrib/ChangeLog: * ChangeLog.jit: New. * jit-coverage-report.py: New file: a script to print crude code-coverage information for the libgccjit API. gcc/ChangeLog: * ChangeLog.jit: New. * Makefile.in (doc_build_sys): New variable, set to "sphinx" if sphinx is installed, falling back to "texinfo" otherwise. (FULL_DRIVER_NAME): New variable, adapted from the install-driver target. New target, a symlink within the builddir, linked to "xgcc", for use when running the JIT library from the builddir. (MOSTLYCLEANFILES): Add FULL_DRIVER_NAME. (install-driver): Use $(FULL_DRIVER_NAME) rather than spelling it out. * configure.ac (doc_build_sys): New variable, set to "sphinx" if sphinx is installed, falling back to "texinfo" otherwise. (GCC_DRIVER_NAME): Generate a gcc-driver-name.h file containing GCC_DRIVER_NAME for the benefit of jit/internal-api.c. * configure: Regenerate. * doc/install.texi (--enable-host-shared): Specify that this is required when building libgccjit. (Tools/packages necessary for modifying GCC): Add Sphinx. * timevar.def (TV_JIT_REPLAY): New. (TV_ASSEMBLE): New. (TV_LINK): New.

+Creating and using functions
+============================
+
+Params
+------
+.. type:: gcc_jit_param
+
+ A `gcc_jit_param` represents a parameter to a function.
+
+.. function:: gcc_jit_param *\
+ gcc_jit_context_new_param (gcc_jit_context *ctxt,\
+ gcc_jit_location *loc,\
+ gcc_jit_type *type,\
+ const char *name)
+
+ In preparation for creating a function, create a new parameter of the
+ given type and name.
+
+Parameters are lvalues, and thus are also rvalues (and objects), so the
+following upcasts are available:
+
+.. function:: gcc_jit_lvalue *\
+ gcc_jit_param_as_lvalue (gcc_jit_param *param)
+
+ Upcasting from param to lvalue.
+
+.. function:: gcc_jit_rvalue *\
+ gcc_jit_param_as_rvalue (gcc_jit_param *param)
+
+ Upcasting from param to rvalue.
+
+.. function:: gcc_jit_object *\
+ gcc_jit_param_as_object (gcc_jit_param *param)
+
+ Upcasting from param to object.
+
+
+Functions
+---------
+
+.. type:: gcc_jit_function
+
+ A `gcc_jit_function` represents a function - either one that we're
+ creating ourselves, or one that we're referencing.
+
+.. function:: gcc_jit_function *\
+ gcc_jit_context_new_function (gcc_jit_context *ctxt,\
+ gcc_jit_location *loc,\
+ enum gcc_jit_function_kind kind,\
+ gcc_jit_type *return_type,\
+ const char *name,\
+ int num_params,\
+ gcc_jit_param **params,\
+ int is_variadic)
+
+ Create a gcc_jit_function with the given name and parameters.
+
+ .. type:: enum gcc_jit_function_kind
+
+ This enum controls the kind of function created, and has the following
+ values:
+
+ .. macro:: GCC_JIT_FUNCTION_EXPORTED
+
+ Function is defined by the client code and visible
+ by name outside of the JIT.
+
+ .. macro:: GCC_JIT_FUNCTION_INTERNAL
+
+ Function is defined by the client code, but is invisible
+ outside of the JIT. Analogous to a "static" function.
+
+ .. macro:: GCC_JIT_FUNCTION_IMPORTED
+
+ Function is not defined by the client code; we're merely
+ referring to it. Analogous to using an "extern" function from a
+ header file.
+
+ .. macro:: GCC_JIT_FUNCTION_ALWAYS_INLINE
+
+ Function is only ever inlined into other functions, and is
+ invisible outside of the JIT.
+
+ Analogous to prefixing with ``inline`` and adding
+ ``__attribute__((always_inline))``
+
+ Inlining will only occur when the optimization level is
+ above 0; when optimization is off, this is essentially the
+ same as GCC_JIT_FUNCTION_INTERNAL.
+
+.. function:: gcc_jit_function *\
+ gcc_jit_context_get_builtin_function (gcc_jit_context *ctxt,\
+ const char *name)
+
+.. function:: gcc_jit_object *\
+ gcc_jit_function_as_object (gcc_jit_function *func)
+
+ Upcasting from function to object.
+
+.. function:: gcc_jit_param *\
+ gcc_jit_function_get_param (gcc_jit_function *func, int index)
+
+ Get the param of the given index (0-based).
+
+.. function:: void \
+ gcc_jit_function_dump_to_dot (gcc_jit_function *func,\
+ const char *path)
+
+ Emit the function in graphviz format to the given path.
+
+.. function:: gcc_jit_lvalue *\
+ gcc_jit_function_new_local (gcc_jit_function *func,\
+ gcc_jit_location *loc,\
+ gcc_jit_type *type,\
+ const char *name)
+
+ Create a new local variable within the function, of the given type and
+ name.
+
+
+Blocks
+------
+.. type:: gcc_jit_block
+
+ A `gcc_jit_block` represents a basic block within a function i.e. a
+ sequence of statements with a single entry point and a single exit
+ point.
+
+ The first basic block that you create within a function will
+ be the entrypoint.
+
+ Each basic block that you create within a function must be
+ terminated, either with a conditional, a jump, or a return.
+
+ It's legal to have multiple basic blocks that return within
+ one function.
+
+.. function:: gcc_jit_block *\
+ gcc_jit_function_new_block (gcc_jit_function *func,\
+ const char *name)
+
+ Create a basic block of the given name. The name may be NULL, but
+ providing meaningful names is often helpful when debugging: it may
+ show up in dumps of the internal representation, and in error
+ messages.
+
+.. function:: gcc_jit_object *\
+ gcc_jit_block_as_object (gcc_jit_block *block)
+
+ Upcast from block to object.
+
+.. function:: gcc_jit_function *\
+ gcc_jit_block_get_function (gcc_jit_block *block)
+
+ Which function is this block within?
+
+
+Statements
+----------
+
+.. function:: void\
+ gcc_jit_block_add_eval (gcc_jit_block *block,\
+ gcc_jit_location *loc,\
+ gcc_jit_rvalue *rvalue)
+
+ Add evaluation of an rvalue, discarding the result
+ (e.g. a function call that "returns" void).
+
+ This is equivalent to this C code:
+
+ .. code-block:: c
+
+ (void)expression;
+
+.. function:: void\
+ gcc_jit_block_add_assignment (gcc_jit_block *block,\
+ gcc_jit_location *loc,\
+ gcc_jit_lvalue *lvalue,\
+ gcc_jit_rvalue *rvalue)
+
+ Add evaluation of an rvalue, assigning the result to the given
+ lvalue.
+
+ This is roughly equivalent to this C code:
+
+ .. code-block:: c
+
+ lvalue = rvalue;
+
+.. function:: void\
+ gcc_jit_block_add_assignment_op (gcc_jit_block *block,\
+ gcc_jit_location *loc,\
+ gcc_jit_lvalue *lvalue,\
+ enum gcc_jit_binary_op op,\
+ gcc_jit_rvalue *rvalue)
+
+ Add evaluation of an rvalue, using the result to modify an
+ lvalue.
+
+ This is analogous to "+=" and friends:
+
+ .. code-block:: c
+
+ lvalue += rvalue;
+ lvalue *= rvalue;
+ lvalue /= rvalue;
+
+ etc. For example:
+
+ .. code-block:: c
+
+ /* "i++" */
+ gcc_jit_block_add_assignment_op (
+ loop_body, NULL,
+ i,
+ GCC_JIT_BINARY_OP_PLUS,
+ gcc_jit_context_one (ctxt, int_type));
+
+.. function:: void\
+ gcc_jit_block_add_comment (gcc_jit_block *block,\
+ gcc_jit_location *loc,\
+ const char *text)
+
+ Add a no-op textual comment to the internal representation of the
+ code. It will be optimized away, but will be visible in the dumps
+ seen via :macro:`GCC_JIT_BOOL_OPTION_DUMP_INITIAL_TREE`
+ and :macro:`GCC_JIT_BOOL_OPTION_DUMP_INITIAL_GIMPLE`,
+ and thus may be of use when debugging how your project's internal
+ representation gets converted to the libgccjit IR.
+
+.. function:: void\
+ gcc_jit_block_end_with_conditional (gcc_jit_block *block,\
+ gcc_jit_location *loc,\
+ gcc_jit_rvalue *boolval,\
+ gcc_jit_block *on_true,\
+ gcc_jit_block *on_false)
+
+ Terminate a block by adding evaluation of an rvalue, branching on the
+ result to the appropriate successor block.
+
+ This is roughly equivalent to this C code:
+
+ .. code-block:: c
+
+ if (boolval)
+ goto on_true;
+ else
+ goto on_false;
+
+ block, boolval, on_true, and on_false must be non-NULL.
+
+.. function:: void\
+ gcc_jit_block_end_with_jump (gcc_jit_block *block,\
+ gcc_jit_location *loc,\
+ gcc_jit_block *target)
+
+
+ Terminate a block by adding a jump to the given target block.
+
+ This is roughly equivalent to this C code:
+
+ .. code-block:: c
+
+ goto target;
+
+.. function:: void\
+ gcc_jit_block_end_with_return (gcc_jit_block *block,\
+ gcc_jit_location *loc,\
+ gcc_jit_rvalue *rvalue)
+
+
+ Terminate a block by adding evaluation of an rvalue, returning the value.
+
+ This is roughly equivalent to this C code:
+
+ .. code-block:: c
+
+ return expression;
+
+.. function:: void\
+ gcc_jit_block_end_with_void_return (gcc_jit_block *block,\
+ gcc_jit_location *loc)
+
+
+ Terminate a block by adding a valueless return, for use within a function
+ with "void" return type.
+
+ This is equivalent to this C code:
+
+ .. code-block:: c
+
+ return;
