settings.add_bool(

"regalloc_checker",
8
"Enable the symbolic checker for register allocation.",
9
r#"
10
This performs a verification that the register allocator preserves
11
equivalent dataflow with respect to the original (pre-regalloc)
12
program. This analysis is somewhat expensive. However, if it succeeds,
13
it provides independent evidence (by a carefully-reviewed, from-first-principles
14
analysis) that no regalloc bugs were triggered for the particular compilations
15
performed. This is a valuable assurance to have as regalloc bugs can be
16
very dangerous and difficult to debug.

21
settings.add_bool(
22
"regalloc_verbose_logs",

"Enable verbose debug logs for regalloc2.",
24
r#"
25
This adds extra logging for regalloc2 output, that is quite valuable to understand
26
decisions taken by the register allocator as well as debugging it. It is disabled by
27
default, as it can cause many log calls which can slow down compilation by a large
28
amount.

37
Supported options:
38
39
- `backtracking`: A backtracking allocator with range splitting; more expensive
40
but generates better code.
41
- `single_pass`: A single-pass algorithm that yields quick compilation but
42
results in code with more register spills and moves.

settings.add_enum(
48
"opt_level",

51
Supported levels:
52
53
- `none`: Minimise compile time by disabling most optimizations.
54
- `speed`: Generate the fastest possible code
55
- `speed_and_size`: like "speed", but also perform transformations aimed at reducing code size.

60
settings.add_bool(
61
"enable_alias_analysis",
62
"Do redundant-load optimizations with alias analysis.",
63

64
This enables the use of a simple alias analysis to optimize away redundant loads.

Only effective when `opt_level` is `speed` or `speed_and_size`.

settings.add_bool(
71
"enable_verifier",
72
"Run the Cranelift IR verifier at strategic times during compilation.",

74
This makes compilation slower but catches many bugs. The verifier is always enabled by
75
default, which is useful during development.

79
80
settings.add_bool(
81
"enable_pcc",
82
"Enable proof-carrying code translation validation.",
83
r#"
84
This adds a proof-carrying-code mode. Proof-carrying code (PCC) is a strategy to verify
85
that the compiler preserves certain properties or invariants in the compiled code.
86
For example, a frontend that translates WebAssembly to CLIF can embed PCC facts in
87
the CLIF, and Cranelift will verify that the final machine code satisfies the stated
88
facts at each intermediate computed value. Loads and stores can be marked as "checked"
89
and their memory effects can be verified as safe.

108
Generate code that assumes that libcalls can be declared "colocated",

110
they can use more efficient addressing.

123
124
settings.add_bool(
125
"enable_nan_canonicalization",
126
"Enable NaN canonicalization.",
127
r#"
128
This replaces NaNs with a single canonical value, for users requiring
129
entirely deterministic WebAssembly computation. This is not required
130
by the WebAssembly spec, so it is not enabled by default.

135
settings.add_bool(
136
"enable_pinned_reg",

"Enable the use of the pinned register.",
138
r#"
139
This register is excluded from register allocation, and is completely under the control of
140
the end-user. It is possible to read it via the get_pinned_reg instruction, and to set it
141
with the set_pinned_reg instruction.

152
153
settings.add_bool(
154
"enable_safepoints",
155
"Enable safepoint instruction insertions.",

157
This will allow the emit_stack_maps() function to insert the safepoint
158
instruction on top of calls and interrupt traps in order to display the
159
live reference values at that point in the program.

settings.add_enum(
172
"stack_switch_model",
173
"Defines the model used to performing stack switching.",
174
r#"
175
This determines the compilation of `stack_switch` instructions. If
176
set to `basic`, we simply save all registers, update stack pointer
177
and frame pointer (if needed), and jump to the target IP.
178
If set to `update_windows_tib`, we *additionally* update information
179
about the active stack in Windows' Thread Information Block.

188
This may be different from the ISA default calling convention.
189
190
The default value is to use the same calling convention as the ISA
191
default calling convention.
192
193
This list should be kept in sync with the list of calling
194
conventions available in isa/call_conv.rs.

settings.add_bool(
208
"enable_llvm_abi_extensions",
209
"Enable various ABI extensions defined by LLVM's behavior.",
210
r#"
211
In some cases, LLVM's implementation of an ABI (calling convention)
212
goes beyond a standard and supports additional argument types or
213
behavior. This option instructs Cranelift codegen to follow LLVM's
214
behavior where applicable.
215
216
Currently, this applies only to Windows Fastcall on x86-64, and
217
allows an `i128` argument to be spread across two 64-bit integer
218
registers. The Fastcall implementation otherwise does not support
219
`i128` arguments, and will panic if they are present and this
220
option is not set.
221
"#,
222
false,

settings.add_bool(
226
"enable_multi_ret_implicit_sret",
227
"Enable support for sret arg introduction when there are too many ret vals.",
228
r#"
229
When there are more returns than available return registers, the
230
return value has to be returned through the introduction of a
231
return area pointer. Normally this return area pointer has to be
232
introduced as `ArgumentPurpose::StructReturn` parameter, but for
233
backward compatibility reasons Cranelift also supports implicitly
234
introducing this parameter and writing the return values through it.
235
236
**This option currently does not conform to platform ABIs and the
237
used ABI should not be assumed to remain the same between Cranelift
238
versions.**
239
240
This option is **deprecated** and will be removed in the future.
241
242
Because of the above issues, and complexities of native ABI support
243
for the concept in general, Cranelift's support for multiple return
244
values may also be removed in the future (#9510). For the most
245
robust solution, it is recommended to build a convention on top of
246
Cranelift's primitives for passing multiple return values, for
247
example by allocating a stackslot in the caller, passing it as an
248
explicit StructReturn argument, storing return values in the callee,
249
and loading results in the caller.

254
settings.add_bool(
255
"unwind_info",
256
"Generate unwind information.",
257
r#"
258
This increases metadata size and compile time, but allows for the
259
debugger to trace frames, is needed for GC tracing that relies on
260
libunwind (such as in Wasmtime), and is unconditionally needed on
261
certain platforms (such as Windows) that must always be able to unwind.

265
266
settings.add_bool(
267
"preserve_frame_pointers",
268
"Preserve frame pointers",
269
r#"
270
Preserving frame pointers -- even inside leaf functions -- makes it
271
easy to capture the stack of a running program, without requiring any
272
side tables or metadata (like `.eh_frame` sections). Many sampling
273
profilers and similar tools walk frame pointers to capture stacks.
274
Enabling this option will play nice with those tools.

settings.add_bool(

"machine_code_cfg_info",

282

283
This increases metadata size and compile time, but allows for the
284
embedder to more easily post-process or analyze the generated
285
machine code. It provides code offsets for the start of each
286
basic block in the generated machine code, and a list of CFG
287
edges (with blocks identified by start offsets) between them.
288
This is useful for, e.g., machine-code analyses that verify certain
289
properties of the generated code.

This is a no-op for any heap that needs no bounds checks; e.g.,
343
if the limit is static and the guard region is large enough that
344
the index cannot reach past it.
345
346
This option is enabled by default because it is highly

357
This option uses a conditional move to ensure that when a table
358
access index is bounds-checked and a conditional branch is used
359
for the out-of-bounds case, a misspeculation of that conditional
360
branch (falsely predicted in-bounds) will select an in-bounds
