Hi Alistair,
As I see, we are moving on to remove TARGET_RISCV64 macro.
I have some questions:
1) Which tcg op should use when translate an instruction for 32bit cpu.
The tcg_*_i64, tcg_*_i32 or tcg_*_tl?
I see some API such as gen_get_gpr that are using the tcg_*_tl. But I am
not sure if it is
right for 32bit cpu.
Do you mean for an instruction that only runs on a 32-bit CPU (and not RV64)?
If the instruction only supports a 32-bit value then tcg_*_i32
otherwise tcg_*_tl is probably the best bet.
Thanks. I think you are right.
2) Do we should have a sign-extend 64 bit register(bit 31 as the sign
bit) for 32 bit cpu?
I'm not clear what you mean. Can you point to a spec that you are
trying to implement?
I am implementing RVP to get rid of TARGET_RISCV64. After we have
recognized an instruction only used by a 32-bit CPU,
1) Should we only use the lowest 32bits of the 64bits register in RV64?
TCGv s;
TCGv_i32 s32;
s = tcg_new_temp();
s32 = tcg_new_temp_i32();
gen_get_gpr(src1, a->rs1);
tcg_gen_trunc_tl_i32(s32, s);
Then we can use TCGv_i32 s32 to stand for rs1 register.
2) After some tcg ops(tcg_*_i32), when we write back to destination
register, should we sign-extend
the 32 bit register before call get_set_gpr()?
