rename mir::Constant -> mir::ConstOperand, mir::ConstKind -> mir::Const Also, be more consistent with the `to/eval_bits` methods... we had some that take a type and some that take a size, and then sometimes the one that takes a type is called `bits_for_ty`. Turns out that `ty::Const`/`mir::ConstKind` carry their type with them, so we don't need to even pass the type to those `eval_bits` functions at all. However this is not properly consistent yet: in `ty` we have most of the methods on `ty::Const`, but in `mir` we have them on `mir::ConstKind`. And indeed those two types are the ones that correspond to each other. So `mir::ConstantKind` should actually be renamed to `mir::Const`. But what to do with `mir::Constant`? It carries around a span, that's really more like a constant operand that appears as a MIR operand... it's more suited for `syntax.rs` than `consts.rs`, but the bigger question is, which name should it get if we want to align the `mir` and `ty` types? `ConstOperand`? `ConstOp`? `Literal`? It's not a literal but it has a field called `literal` so it would at least be consistently wrong-ish... ``@oli-obk`` any ideas?
This folder contains tests for MIR optimizations.
The mir-opt test format emits MIR to extra files that you can automatically update by specifying
--bless on the command line (just like ui tests updating .stderr files).
--blessable test format
By default 32 bit and 64 bit targets use the same dump files, which can be problematic in the presence of pointers in constants or other bit width dependent things. In that case you can add
// EMIT_MIR_FOR_EACH_BIT_WIDTH
to your test, causing separate files to be generated for 32bit and 64bit systems.
Unit testing
If you are only testing the behavior of a particular mir-opt pass on some specific input (as is usually the case), you should add
// unit-test: PassName
to the top of the file. This makes sure that other passes don't run which means you'll get the input you expected and your test won't break when other code changes.
Emit a diff of the mir for a specific optimization
This is what you want most often when you want to see how an optimization changes the MIR.
// EMIT_MIR $file_name_of_some_mir_dump.diff
Emit mir after a specific optimization
Use this if you are just interested in the final state after an optimization.
// EMIT_MIR $file_name_of_some_mir_dump.after.mir
Emit mir before a specific optimization
This exists mainly for completeness and is rarely useful.
// EMIT_MIR $file_name_of_some_mir_dump.before.mir
