6094 - new 'compute-offset' instruction
If indexing into a type with power-of-2-sized elements we can access them in one instruction: x/reg1: (addr int) <- index A/reg2: (addr array int), idx/reg3: int This translates to a single instruction because x86 instructions support an addressing mode with left-shifts. For non-powers-of-2, however, we need a multiply. To keep things type-safe, it is performed like this: x/reg1: (offset T) <- compute-offset A: (addr array T), idx: int y/reg2: (addr T) <- index A, x An offset is just an int that is guaranteed to be a multiple of size-of(T). Offsets can only be used in index instructions, and the types will eventually be required to line up. In the process, I have to expand Input-size because mu.subx is growing big.
