TL;DR: what's the best way to do SSA back-translation when using x/tools/go/ssa?
I'm thinking about a Go compiler which accepts a subset of Go and emits assembly for a microcontroller. Instead of going all the way from lexing, parsing etc. I'd like to use x/tools/go/ssa. In order to generate assembly code I need to remove the Phi functions and rename the registers accordingly. The register field in SSA is not exported and can be accessed read-only by Name(). This makes SSA back-translation cumbersome. What do you suggest to solve this problem? My ideas: * visit all SSA nodes and clone them into a new data structure which supports register renaming. That would probably mean reimplementing a lot of x/tools/go/ssa. * export the register field from x/tools/go/ssa. That would need to be done by Go devs with write access to the repository. If you have any comments on these or another ideas how to get from Go code to assembly please tell me. (I know about `go compile -S` this is suitable only for supported architectures. A microcontroller with 512 Bytes of RAM most likely will never be supported. That's why I want to implement just a subsetof Go.) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
