* Simplify BinaryenIRWriter (#3110)Thomas Lively2020-09-101-13/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | BinaryenIRWriter was previously inconsistent about whether or not it emitted an instruction if that instruction was not reachable. Instructions that produced values were not emitted if they were unreachable, but instructions that did not produce values were always emitted. Additionally, blocks continued to emit their children even after emitting an unreachable child. Since it was not possible to tell whether an unreachable instruction's parent would be emitted, BinaryenIRWriter had to be very defensive and emit many extra `unreachable` instructions around unreachable code to avoid type errors. This PR unifies the logic for emitting all non-control flow instructions and changes the behavior of BinaryenIRWriter so that it never emits instructions that cannot be reached due to having unreachable children. This means that extra `unreachable` instructions now only need to be emitted after unreachable control flow constructs. BinaryenIRWriter now also stops emitting instructions inside blocks after the first unreachable instruction as an extra optimization. This change will also simplify Poppy IR stackification (see #3059) by guaranteeing that instructions with unreachable children will not be emitted into the stackifier. This makes satisfying the Poppy IR rule against unreachable Pops trivial, whereas previously satisfying this rule would have required about about 700 additional lines of code to recompute the types of all unreachable children for any instruction.
* Poppy IR wast parsing and validation (#3105)Thomas Lively2020-09-091-0/+23
| | | | | Adds an IR profile to each function so the validator can determine which validation rules to apply and adds a flag to have the wast parser set the profile to Poppy for testing purposes.
* Stack utils (#3083)Thomas Lively2020-09-071-0/+292
Implement and test utilities for manipulating and analyzing a new stacky form of Binaryen IR that is able to express arbitrary stack machine code. This new Poppy IR will eventually replace Stack IR, and new optimization passes will be built with these utilities. See #3059.
