<p>TableGen's purpose is to help a human develop and maintain records of
|
|
domain-specific information. Because there may be a large number of these
|
|
records, it is specifically designed to allow writing flexible descriptions and
|
|
for common features of these records to be factored out. This reduces the
|
|
amount of duplication in the description, reduces the chance of error, and
|
|
makes it easier to structure domain specific information.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The core part of TableGen <a href="#syntax">parses a file</a>, instantiates
|
|
the declarations, and hands the result off to a domain-specific "<a
|
|
href="#backends">TableGen backend</a>" for processing. The current major user
|
|
of TableGen is the <a href="CodeGenerator.html">LLVM code generator</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Note that if you work on TableGen much, and use emacs or vim, that you can
|
|
find an emacs "TableGen mode" and a vim language file in
|
|
<tt>llvm/utils/emacs</tt> and <tt>llvm/utils/vim</tt> directory of your LLVM
|
|
distribution, respectively.</p>

<div class="doc_text">
|
|
|
|
<p>TableGen files consist of two key parts: 'classes' and 'definitions', both
|
|
of which are considered 'records'.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><b>TableGen records</b> have a unique name, a list of values, and a list of
|
|
superclasses. The list of values is main data that TableGen builds for each
|
|
record, it is this that holds the domain specific information for the
|
|
application. The interpretation of this data is left to a specific <a
|
|
href="#backends">TableGen backend</a>, but the structure and format rules are
|
|
taken care of and fixed by TableGen.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><b>TableGen definitions</b> are the concrete form of 'records'. These
|
|
generally do not have any undefined values, and are marked with the
|
|
'<tt>def</tt>' keyword.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><b>TableGen classes</b> are abstract records that are used to build and
|
|
describe other records. These 'classes' allow the end-user to build
|
|
abstractions for either the domain they are targetting (such as "Register",
|
|
"RegisterClass", and "Instruction" in the LLVM code generator) or for the
|
|
implementor to help factor out common properties of records (such as "FPInst",
|
|
which is used to represent floating point instructions in the X86 backend).
|
|
TableGen keeps track of all of the classes that are used to build up a
|
|
definition, so the backend can find all definitions of a particular class, such
|
|
as "Instruction".</p>

|
<p>With no other arguments, TableGen parses the specified file and prints out
|
|
all of the classes, then all of the definitions. This is a good way to see what
|
|
the various definitions expand to fully. Running this on the <tt>X86.td</tt>
|

file prints this (at the time of this writing):</p>

<p>This definition corresponds to an 8-bit register-register add instruction in
|
|
the X86. The string after the '<tt>def</tt>' string indicates the name of the
|
|
record ("<tt>ADDrr8</tt>" in this case), and the comment at the end of the line
|
|
indicates the superclasses of the definition. The body of the record contains
|
|
all of the data that TableGen assembled for the record, indicating that the
|
|
instruction is part of the "X86" namespace, should be printed as "<tt>add</tt>"
|
|
in the assembly file, it is a two-address instruction, has a particular
|
|
encoding, etc. The contents and semantics of the information in the record is
|
|
specific to the needs of the X86 backend, and is only shown as an example.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>As you can see, a lot of information is needed for every instruction
|
|
supported by the code generator, and specifying it all manually would be
|
|
unmaintainble, prone to bugs, and tiring to do in the first place. Because we
|
|
are using TableGen, all of the information was derived from the following
|
|
definition:</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
<b>def</b> ADDrr8 : I2A8<"add", 0x00, MRMDestReg>,
|
|
Pattern<(set R8, (plus R8, R8))>;
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>This definition makes use of the custom I2A8 (two address instruction with
|
|
8-bit operand) class, which is defined in the X86-specific TableGen file to
|
|
factor out the common features that instructions of its class share. A key
|
|
feature of TableGen is that it allows the end-user to define the abstractions
|
|
they prefer to use when describing their information.</p>

|
|
<p>TableGen files are strongly typed, in a simple (but complete) type-system.
|
|
These types are used to perform automatic conversions, check for errors, and to
|
|
help interface designers constrain the input that they allow. Every <a
|
|
href="#valuedef">value definition</a> is required to have an associated type.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>TableGen supports a mixture of very low-level types (such as <tt>bit</tt>)
|
|
and very high-level types (such as <tt>dag</tt>). This flexibility is what
|
|
allows it to describe a wide range of information conveniently and compactly.
|
|
The TableGen types are:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>"<tt><b>bit</b></tt>" - A 'bit' is a boolean value that can hold either 0 or
|
|
1.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>"<tt><b>int</b></tt>" - The 'int' type represents a simple 32-bit integer
|
|
value, such as 5.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>"<tt><b>string</b></tt>" - The 'string' type represents an ordered sequence
|
|
of characters of arbitrary length.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>"<tt><b>bits</b><n></tt>" - A 'bits' type is an arbitrary, but fixed,
|
|
size integer that is broken up into individual bits. This type is useful
|
|
because it can handle some bits being defined while others are undefined.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>"<tt><b>list</b><ty></tt>" - This type represents a list whose
|
|
elements are some other type. The contained type is arbitrary: it can even be
|
|
another list type.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Class type - Specifying a class name in a type context means that the
|
|
defined value must be a subclass of the specified class. This is useful in
|
|
conjunction with the "list" type, for example, to constrain the elements of the
|
|
list to a common base class (e.g., a <tt><b>list</b><Register></tt> can
|
|
only contain definitions derived from the "<tt>Register</tt>" class).</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>"<tt><b>code</b></tt>" - This represents a big hunk of text. NOTE: I don't
|
|
remember why this is distinct from string!</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>"<tt><b>dag</b></tt>" - This type represents a nestable directed graph of
|
|
elements.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>To date, these types have been sufficient for describing things that
|
|
TableGen has been used for, but it is straight-forward to extend this list if
|
|
needed.</p>

<p>TableGen allows for a pretty reasonable number of different expression forms

supported include:</p>

<ul>
|
|
<li>? - Uninitialized field.</li>

<li>X.Y - Reference to the subfield of a value.</li>
|

<li>list[4-7,17,2-3] - A slice of the 'list' list, including elements

|
|
|
<p>As mentioned in the <a href="#concepts">intro</a>, classes and definitions
|
|
(collectively known as 'records') in TableGen are the main high-level unit of
|
|
information that TableGen collects. Records are defined with a <tt>def</tt> or
|
|
<tt>class</tt> keyword, the record name, and an optional list of "<a
|
|
href="#templateargs">template arguments</a>". If the record has superclasses,
|
|
they are specified as a comma seperated list that starts with a colon character
|
|
(":"). If <a href="#valuedef">value definitions</a> or <a href="#recordlet">let
|
|
expressions</a> are needed for the class, they are enclosed in curly braces
|
|
("{}"); otherwise, the record ends with a semicolon. Here is a simple TableGen
|
|
file:</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
<b>class</b> C { <b>bit</b> V = 1; }
|
|
<b>def</b> X : C;
|
|
<b>def</b> Y : C {
|
|
<b>string</b> Greeting = "hello";
|
|
}
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>This example defines two definitions, <tt>X</tt> and <tt>Y</tt>, both of
|
|
which derive from the <tt>C</tt> class. Because of this, they both get the
|
|
<tt>V</tt> bit value. The <tt>Y</tt> definition also gets the Greeting member
|
|
as well.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>In general, classes are useful for collecting together the commonality
|
|
between a group of records and isolating it in a single place. Also, classes
|
|
permit the specification of default values for their subclasses, allowing the
|
|
subclasses to override them as they wish.</p>

|
|
value is defined by specifying a <a href="#types">TableGen type</a> and a name.
|
|
If an initial value is available, it may be specified after the type with an
|

equal sign. Value definitions require terminating semicolons.</p>

<div class="doc_text">
|
|
<p>A record-level let expression is used to change the value of a value
|
|
definition in a record. This is primarily useful when a superclass defines a
|
|
value that a derived class or definition wants to override. Let expressions
|
|
consist of the '<tt>let</tt>' keyword followed by a value name, an equal sign
|
|
("="), and a new value. For example, a new class could be added to the example
|
|
above, redefining the <tt>V</tt> field for all of its subclasses:</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
<b>class</b> D : C { let V = 0; }
|
|
<b>def</b> Z : D;
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>In this case, the <tt>Z</tt> definition will have a zero value for its "V"
|
|
value, despite the fact that it derives (indirectly) from the <tt>C</tt> class,
|
|
because the <tt>D</tt> class overrode its value.</p>

|
|
<p>TableGen permits the definition of parameterized classes as well as normal
|
|
concrete classes. Parameterized TableGen classes specify a list of variable
|
|
bindings (which may optionally have defaults) that are bound when used. Here is
|
|
a simple example:</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre>

|
<p>This is obviously a contrived example, but it shows how template arguments
|
|
can be used to decouple the interface provided to the user of the class from the
|
|
actual internal data representation expected by the class. In this case,
|
|
running <tt>tblgen</tt> on the example prints the following definitions:</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
<b>def</b> bork { <i>// Value</i>
|
|
bit isMod = 1;
|
|
bit isRef = 0;
|
|
}
|
|
<b>def</b> hork { <i>// Value</i>
|
|
bit isMod = 1;
|
|
bit isRef = 1;
|
|
}
|
|
<b>def</b> zork { <i>// Value</i>
|
|
bit isMod = 0;
|
|
bit isRef = 1;
|
|
}
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p> This shows that TableGen was able to dig into the argument and extract a
|
|
piece of information that was requested by the designer of the "Value" class.
|
|
For more realistic examples, please see existing users of TableGen, such as the
|
|
X86 backend.</p>

<p>TableGen supports the '<tt>include</tt>' token, which textually substitutes

the specified file in place of the include directive. The filename should be
|
|
specified as a double quoted string immediately after the '<tt>include</tt>'
|

keyword. Example:</p>

<div class="doc_text">
|
|
<p> "let" expressions at file scope are similar to <a href="#recordlet">"let"
|
|
expressions within a record</a>, except they can specify a value binding for
|
|
multiple records at a time, and may be useful in certain other cases.
|
|
File-scope let expressions are really just another way that TableGen allows the
|
|
end-user to factor out commonality from the records.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>File-scope "let" expressions take a comma-seperated list of bindings to
|
|
apply, and one of more records to bind the values in. Here are some
|
|
examples:</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
<b>let</b> isTerminator = 1, isReturn = 1 <b>in</b>
|
|
<b>def</b> RET : X86Inst<"ret", 0xC3, RawFrm, NoArg>;
|
|
|
|
<b>let</b> isCall = 1 <b>in</b>
|
|
<i>// All calls clobber the non-callee saved registers...</i>
|
|
<b>let</b> Defs = [EAX, ECX, EDX, FP0, FP1, FP2, FP3, FP4, FP5, FP6] in {
|
|
<b>def</b> CALLpcrel32 : X86Inst<"call", 0xE8, RawFrm, NoArg>;
|
|
<b>def</b> CALLr32 : X86Inst<"call", 0xFF, MRMS2r, Arg32>;
|
|
<b>def</b> CALLm32 : X86Inst<"call", 0xFF, MRMS2m, Arg32>;
|
|
}
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>File-scope "let" expressions are often useful when a couple of definitions
|
|
need to be added to several records, and the records do not otherwise need to be
|
|
opened, as in the case with the CALL* instructions above.</p>
