Incorrect.

Integer overflow is illegal in Fortran, so what the compiler then
does is not determined (see my post on random number generators).

Example:

$ cat overfl.f90
program main
  integer :: a, b
  a = 12345678
  b = 2345678
  print *,a*b
end program main
$ gfortran -fsanitize=undefined overfl.f90 
$ ./a.out
overfl.f90:5:13: runtime error: signed integer overflow: 12345678 * 2345678 cannot be represented in type 'integer(kind=4)'
 -1979197244

In principle, yes.

In practice, people often used whatever "worked" on their systems.
Implementors have a certain right because they control what their
compiler does or does not do.  But users did so, as well, with
Numerical Recipes a(n in)famous example.

And yes, this bites people.  You can see this at
https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-13/porting_to.html :

Fortran has no standard way of implementing this unless you
restrict yourself to sizes which do not overflow a signed integer.
Implementing LCGRNGs was one reason why I pushed for unsigned
arithmetic (modulo 2**n) in Fortran.  The attempt failed (not
taken up by WG5 after being endorsed by J3), but I implemented it
for gfortran anyway.

Sanitizers are also fairly good now, but of course cost performance.

Principle is better in theory than in practice.

Face it, the poor slug writing the code may not have the faintest
grasp at the system qualities we are discussing, and does not care
to learn as long as he can slug through the writing and his pro-
gram not blow up catastrophically while it is under his purview. 

That defines a lot of what is wrong with SW programming today.

You would be surprised at how little influence implementors have
on compilers and other software.

My VAX favorite was:

     for( int i = 1; i; i+=i )

Traps instead of exiting the loop normally.

Old FORTRAN had no unSigned integer type and no way to avoid overflows.

Yeah.

You can design the ISA and compiler as one likes.
But, if existing C code breaks, well then this is not good.


One might think:
You know, wrap on overflow, and type promotion where it overflows and 
wraps, and *then* promotes to the wider type on the final assignment, is 
kinda stupid and sucks.

And, if one goes by "well, signed overflow is UB anyways", then they 
should be able to turn it into a "promote first, then ADD" scenario (may 
be both potentially faster, and less likely to lose information).

I would be inclined to agree.

But... there is old code around that will quietly break if the integer 
overflow and promotion doesn't follow the specific behavior that mimics 
how it would have behaved on 32-bit systems.


I vaguely remember a case of this involving some robot enemies that 
drive around in ROTT, where if the integer overflow failed to work in 
just the right way, they would all miss their way-points and end up 
crashing into walls or similar.

Where, the robot enemies followed a path defined as a series of 
waypoints (in a grid world), and once the robot hits a particular spot 
on the grid cell, it will change directions and head along the path. 
But, the particular way the expression to handle this was written was 
sensitive to the type promotion and wrap-on-overflow semantics in C.

Also a similar case involving the "elevators", which were effectively 
timed teleporters between different parts of the map (would close door, 
play elevator sound, then right at the end as the door opens, it would 
teleport the player to the other location and initiate a screen shaking 
effect at around the same time). If the overflow was wrong, the teleport 
would fail and the player would still be in the original location.


One could fix this stuff with casts or similar, but, when does one draw 
the line exactly?...

Easier sometimes to make it to work, than to try to justify the code was 
already broken due to reliance on UB.

Well, and to match the behavior of the other compilers, needed to 
implement the behavior the way ROTT expected.


Where, as noted, ROTT uses fixed-point math with "fixed" as a signed 
32-bit integer, and some cases involve calculations with coordinates 
well outside the world bounds with the seeming intention that these 
high-order components simply disappear into the ether (with the world 
essentially treated as a wrapping modulo space).


But, as noted, it differed from my BS2 language, where the default was 
effectively to auto-promote values to the widest reasonable integer type 
in these cases and then drop down to the final range afterwards (to 
avoid some integer overflows in cases they would happen in C).

Well, and within BGBCC, there was some non-zero bleed-over between C and 
BS2 (where originally I had been implementing BS2 via BGBCC, with the 
intention that it would compile to an IL image that would then be run in 
the VM).

The original VM however, while fast, ended up with horrible code-bloat. 
Had gotten creative with the use of the C preprocessor in ways that were 
ultimately a terrible idea (errm, trying to use it sorta like a 
poor-man's version of C++ templates). Binaries got huge, build times 
sucked. This VM was a dead end.


Ironically, some of my current ISA projects were built on some of the 
groundwork left by this experiment, but also as a warning for something 
not to do.

Or, when I learned the merit of actually writing all the opcode handler 
functions and similar by hand and not trying to do combinatorial stuff 
via the preprocessor.


Also for the follow up VM (for BS2), had went back to ye-olde stack 
machine (vs a Register IR model). But, some parts of this were relevant 
to targeting an "actual CPU".

The way JX2VM works isn't too far removed from those VMs in some ways, 
apart from JX2VM's general avoidance of getting too clever with the C 
preprocessor.

...I'm not really aware that they had a choice.

Some machines before the IBM System/360 did use little-endian ordering for 
multiple words, to simplify handling the carries when adding pairs of 
words.

Until the PDP-11 came along, though, _nobody_ thought of putting the 
characters inside a word starting at the least-significant end, so that 
the ordering of bytes would be consistent with the ordering of words.

Until the PDP-11 came along, therefore, little-endian wasn't a "thing"; 
while the most significant part of a two-word integer might be placed 
second, so you could fetch the parts in forwards order and start adding 
right away, but that wasn't part of a philosophy.

The System/360 _only_ did BCD arithmetic with the SS instructions, it 
didn't put BCD in registers. So it wasn't forced to use big-endian by my 
consistency argument; binary values could still have been little-endian if 
they had preferred. But the different machines in the System/260 family 
had different bus widths.

So they couldn't just be little-endian at the 16-bit level; they would 
have had to have been consistent. I suppose they could have thought of it 
first even if they didn't have the PDP-11 to copy from. But because almost 
all their machines were microcoded, they were in a position to do things 
like working backwards from the end of a number to do arithmetic to avoid 
having a severe cost penalty for big-endian.

While the System/360 had only two condition code bits, I do plan to have 
full VZNC bits. However, unlike the System/360, I do not have a complete 
set of sixteen conditional branch instructions. I just have twelve: eight 
instructions for testing between negative, zero, and positive nonzero in 
any combination, and instructions for separately testing for carry and 
overflow.

However, if I have enough opcode space to add a U bit to all the 
conditional branch instructions, then I also have enough opcode space to 
fix that instead, so I likely will rework this part of the ISA into 
something more conventional.

I want a compare instruction which, for integers, isn't fooled by 
overflows - and overflows happen at a different point in the two's 
complement number circle for signed and unsigned; for unsigned, basically 
carry takes the role of overflow. And I don't want to have to do two 
instructions for the conditional branch afterwards to handle that. So I 
_may_ still need a separate compare unsigned, even though the rest of your 
points are well taken.

I have now given the matter thought, and I found that it would indeed be 
necessary to add an extra bit to all the conditional jump, branch, or set 
flag instructions to indicate the test was being applied to the condition 
code settings left after an integer arithmetic instruction on integers 
deemed to be unsigned.

Amazingly enough, however, it turned out that in each case there was no 
difficulty in finding the additional opcode space that was needed.

I even managed to find enough opcode space to increase the size of the 
displacement field from 8 bits to 9 bits in all the branch instructions, 
so that having 24-bit short instructions doesn't shorten their range.

The fact that IA-32/AMD64 and ARM A64 do not have a special compare
instruction for unsigned integers (and manage to do with NCVZ) shows
that this is unnecessary.  What you do for your "if (-100<100)" case
is encode it (on AMD64) as

cmpb %r8, %r9 #note that AT&T syntax has the arguments reversed
jnl  target
... code to execute if r9<r8 ...
target:

And JNL (jump if not less) tests for N=V (the Intel manual writes SF=OF).

The good news is that this only concerns the 16-bit short instructions. A 
compiler can choose to ignore them if it can't handle them.

Currently, the 16-bit instructions provide the following:

All the basic operate instructions for two integer types; they can only 
operate on the first eight integer registers.

The basic floating operate instructions for one floating-point type; the 
register specification is the one used with Concertina II's paired 15-bit 
operate instructions; choose one of four banks of eight registers, and 
both operands must be in that bank.

The idea is that it can be used for efficient pipelined code where four 
sequences of instructions which are independent are interleaved.

Everything else is straightforwards; the 24-bit short instructions and all 
the 32-bit and longer instructions that operate on registers allow the use 
of all 32 registers in a bank.

Of course, though, the other restrictions are still present - seven 
choices for an index register, seven choices for a base register (for each 
of three displacement sizes, 20, 16, and 12 bits).

I think I have indeed achieved the goal which, when I started out, I 
thought might prove to be an "impossible dream" - combining what a CISC 
instruction set offers with what a RISC instruction set offers, and yet 
doing so without making the instructions longer than they usually are in 
those instruction types.

Except for register-to-register operate instructions being 24 bits instead 
of 16 bits, this has been achieved - but for a very limited subset of the 
possible register-to-register operate instructions, chosen by me as the 
ones I think are the most useful and popular - and I realize the choice is 
subjective and hence potentially controversial - the 16-bit instruction 
length is retained!

I think it's an ISA that, in this respect, has achieved more than anyone 
could have expected!

Now, of course, whether or not this is an achievement that anyone cares 
about, that anyone wants, that anyone is interested in... well, I don't 
know.

I had a tiny bit of unused opcode space within the 32-bit operate 
instructions.

As well, there were a couple of lengths of instructions longer than 32 
bits which were allocated more opcode space than they actually needed.

That let me move those two lengths of instructions, plus one other length 
of instructions longer than 32 bits which kept is entire, though small, 
allocation of opcode space, into that unused space.

And that let me increase the opcode space allocated to 16-bit short 
instructions from 1/16th of the opcode space to 3/32nds of the opcode 
space.

Which allowed me to give them a much simpler and plainer format, of which 
it finally could be argued - without the claim being utterly laughable - 
that they offer just about what 16-bit short instructions do in a CISC 
architecture.

So now the 16-bit short instructions have all 96 basic operate opcodes, so 
they can perform all the basic operations on all the basic integer and 
floating-point types.

They are in all cases now limited to just the first eight registers. So 
this is inferior to the System/360, which has sixteen, but it matches the 
680x0 which had eight.

Finally, I have achieved my dream, insane and useless though it may be!

Someone once suggested that, if a genie grants you three wishes, you 
should use one of them to wish for more wishes.

Well, I have taken the opportunity to squeeze one more little thing into 
the instruction set that Concertina III had, but this time I could not 
squeeze quite as many of them in... 16-bit prefixes for instructions, 
which allow the instruction set to be extended.

I've taken the opportunity now, before things go on, to modify this 
addition in one important way: I've precluded the possibility that the 
complexity of instruction length encoding might grow without bounds by 
specifying the length scheme now for any prefixed instructions that might 
be added.

I don't like the restriction, but since there's not much opcode space 
available, there's not much I can do.

The compiler will, indeed, probably have difficulty dealing with a kind of 
restriction that no one else has ever put in an ISA.

But this is moot now. I've found some additional opcode space for 16-bit 
short instructions. Not much, just enough to increase the available opcode 
space by a factor of 1.5.

So now all the operations are restricted to only the first eight registers 
- but 16-bit short instructions now support all the basic data types.

After realizing that I did need a second instruction for unsigned 
_division_ I then learned, to my shock, that division was not one, but 
two, instructions, at least in my architecture, for integers.

And there didn't seem to be enough opcode space left for Divide Extensibly 
Unsigned.

I was able to re-adjust the 32-bit operate instructions so that the two 
places where only 96 opcodes were provided for the basic operate 
instructions could now provide 128 opcodes.

The 16-bit and 24-bit short instructions could not be so modified. But 
there were a few unused opcodes; so Divide Extensibly Unsigned could still 
fit in, just out of place.

But that meant that this one operation would be missing from the minimum-
length immediate instructions, and would still be treated as out of the 
basic instruction set, getting immediate instructions that were 16 bits 
longer, for them.

The Pigeonhole Principle has finally bit me!

I have found a way around even that problem. There is no use for a "swap 
immediate" instruction, so I'll put Divide Extensibly Unsigned in its 
spot, so it will be in the columns for its types, and put the swap 
instruction, another exotic one, in the out-of-place spots left over.

My 66000 has an instruction bit that denotes the signedness of integer
calculations {Signed, unSigned}. This bit is available as another OpCode
bit for non-integer calculation instructions.

That's nice. It's not an option I can consider, as having lots of 
orthogonal modifiers on instructions would tend to increase their length. 
A major goal of the Concertina II, III, and IV architectures is for 
instructions not to be longer than similar instructions on the Motorola 
68020 or the IBM System/360 if at all possible.

Basically, the selling point is... "Your programs only get 10% bigger, if 
that, and yet you have 32 registers, so they run faster!".

Or they _would_, if the design didn't have so many extra transistors for 
supporting both IBM-format and Intel-format Decimal Floating Point, old-
style IBM floats, simple floating (You too can work with numbers that go 
around the world 2 1/2 times!), packed decimal, mixed-radix arithmetic...

But, hey, supporting these things in hardware is faster than doing them in 
software!

And are people even going to _read_ the part of the manual that 
explains... as is noted in the description of the original Concertina 
architecture...

This chip has 8-way simultaneous multi-threading, but only for programs 
which do not make use of extensions to the register set.

Only two programs per core may use the extended register banks with 128 
elements.

Only one program per core may use the vector registers for long vector 
instructions. The 256-bit short vector registers, on the other hand, like 
the integer and floating-point registers, are available to all 
simultaneous threads.
