Bug 77797 – DFG's child references from one node to another should have room for type information

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: JavaScriptCore

[Filip Pizlo]

This will allow us to reason about not just whether a node is used, but whether it's used for a particular purpose.

Still need to do 32-64 and make sure I didn't screw up performance.

the patch

Fix a really bad operator precedence bug found by Qt EWS.  Instead of writing (a << b) - c, I had written a << b - c, which is totally different.

Other than the comments included (below?) this looks fairly sensible to me.

It seems like it would be nicer to make addToGraph take a Node/NodeUse rather than a NodeIndex, which would remove some of the churn in this diff.

I'd prefer setChild1(..) to returning a mutable reference.

Do you really think that's a good idea?  There are 4 addToGraph() methods, and only 2 places where this patch needs to convert a NodeUse to NodeIndex for a call to addToGraph().  In general, ByteCodeParser almost never needs to create a node that references a child of another node - which is the only case where it would make sense for addToGraph() to take NodeUse.

I can change those things, but it is necessary for NodeReferenceBlob to return a mutable reference.  Otherwise we'd have no way of later doing a pass that ascribes types to edges.

the patch

Changed all present uses of childX() = foo with setChildX(foo).

I did not remove the childX() methods that returned mutable references, because that would defeat the entire purpose of this patch.
