~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Critical (correctness)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
x86 isel: should free up all fp reg tags when calling a helper.
Also check re saving of FP registers across calls (all caller-save),
and also FPU control word.
iropt: reconsider precise exceptions
x86 guest: look at FP accuracy
Test
~~~~
Test adc/sbb carry dependency in memcheck
Optimisation opportunities
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Improved isel for memcheck artefacts on x86 (generate neg ; sbbl)
Assess tt_fast miss rates
Better register allocation - spilling reduction
iropt less conservative re precise exns
improve stack-update pass
proper profiling machinery
do not CSE exprs :: Ity_Bit
JIT speedups
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ensure incremental flatness throughout
Make sanity checker check flatness; also pass name of caller to
sanity check so as to know after which pass it fails
Profile again with memcheck
change IRTemp to 16 bits?
Integration
~~~~~~~~~~~
Get rid of sloppy-malloc
Get rid of partial-loads-ok
Optimisation after first instrumentation rather than 2nd ?
disallow dirty helpers from writing SP/IP
make instrumentation work at no optimisation
write API doc, clarify IR semantics
make IR utils module
tt/tc simplification, also profiling
generic stack pointer identification at startup?
New memstack_k: old or new sp?
Set host FPU mode before starting. Also set Dflag = 0
skin_panic -> tool_panic
