Key updates:
- Document MIR 26→15 instruction reduction plan (transitioning status)
- Add Core-15 target instruction set in INSTRUCTION_SET.md
- Save AI conference analyses validating Box Theory and 15-instruction design
- Create MIR annotation system proposal for optimization hints
- Update SKIP_PHASE_10_DECISION.md with LLVM direct migration rationale
Technical insights:
- RefNew/RefGet/RefSet can be eliminated through Box unification
- GC/sync/async all achievable with 15 core instructions
- BoxCall lowering can automatically insert GC barriers
- 2-3x performance improvement expected with LLVM
- Build time reduction 50%, binary size reduction 40%
Status: Design complete, implementation pending
- After inserting Phi at loop header, update variable_map so that
subsequent uses (after the loop) refer to the Phi result instead of
the latch/body value. This fixes dominance issues in verifier.
- Add tests: loop phi normalization and loop+nested-if phi; both pass.
- Eliminate static_mut_refs warnings by using once_cell::sync::Lazy
- Make FileMode enum public to fix private_interfaces warning
- Reduce warnings from 6 to 3
- Prepare for Rust 2024 edition compatibility
Fixed infinite loop issue in VM by addressing phi node caching problem.
The phi node was caching the initial value and returning it for all
subsequent iterations, preventing loop variable updates.
Changes:
- Created vm_phi.rs module to separate loop execution logic (similar to mir/loop_builder.rs)
- Disabled phi node caching to ensure correct value selection each iteration
- Added LoopExecutor to track block transitions and handle phi nodes properly
- Fixed VM to correctly track previous_block for phi input selection
The VM now correctly executes SSA-form loops with proper variable updates:
- Loop counter increments correctly
- Phi nodes select the right input based on control flow
- Test case now completes successfully (i=1,2,3,4)
