This PR sets up the new integrated test/bench suite. It then migrates
all benchmarks and some related tests to the new suite. There's also
some documentation and some linting.
For now, a lot of the old tests are left alone so this PR doesn't become
even larger than it already is. Eventually, all tests should be migrated
to the new suite though so there isn't a confusing mix of two systems.
This PR splits up the SCC that the compiler manages into (potentially)
multiple ones after
performing lambda lifting. This aids both the closed term extractor and
the elimDeadBranches pass as
they are both negatively influenced when more declarations than required
are within one SCC.
This PR sorts the declarations fed into ElimDeadBranches in increasing
size. This can improve performance when we are dealing with a lot of
iterations.
The motivation for this change is as follows. Currently the algorithm
for doing one step of abstract interpretation is:
```
for decl in scc do
interpDecl
if summaryChanged decl then
return true
return false
```
whenever we return true we run another step. Now suppose we are in a
situation where we have an SCC with one big decl in the front and then
`n` small ones afterwards. For each time that the small ones change
their summary, we will re-run analysis of the big one in the front.
Currently the ordering is basically at "random" based on how other
compilers inject things into the SCC. This change ensures the behavior
is consistent and at least somewhat intelligent. By putting the small
declarations first, whenever we trigger a rerun of the loop we bias
analyzing the small declarations first, thus decreasing run time.
Note that this change does not have much effect on the current pipeline
because: We usually construct the SCCs in a way such that small ones
happen to be in front anyways. However, with upcomping changes on
specialization this is about to change.
This PR correctly populates the `xType` field of the `IR.FnBody.case`
constructor. It turns out that there is no obvious consequence for this
being incorrect, because it is conservatively recomputed by the `Boxing`
pass.
This currently relies on the encoding pun of Nat.zero as the first
tagged constructor of Nat. Since Nat.succ is lowered to addition, it
makes sense to also lower Nat.zero to a zero literal. This might also
expose more optimization opportunities in the future.
This is part 2 of 2 of #4801 (which closes#4654). That PR was split in
two to allow a stage0 update between declaring the `usize` functions and
using them where they are needed.
