Thanks for filing a feature request! Please fill out the TODOs below.

Feature

With 0.90 of Cranelift, InsBuilder::trap_if(...) was removed, and replaced with Insbuild::trapnz(...) and InsBuilder::trapz(...), but the trap_if(...) allowed for more case than just Equal and Different (like for example UnsignedGreaterThanOrEqual).

Benefit

Easy OutOfBound trap for example

Implementation

Add more trapXX(...) like trapnz(..)/trapz(..)

Alternatives

Manual jmp over / unconditional trap, but that's a bit cumbersome.

You should be able to do a trapnz on an icmp result with any comparison op, I think?

so, an icmp to get a value, than a test on that value to finaly do a trapz() or trapnz()? That's a solution, but still lot more complex then previous trap_if

You can do icmp with the IntCC for the condition in which you want to trap and then directly pass the result of icmp to trapnz. For example

trap_if uge v0, v1

would turn into

v2 = icmp uge v0, v1
trapnz v2

I believe the intent was that for UnsignedGreaterThanOrEqual you'd use icmp like this:

v2 = icmp uge v0, v1
trapnz v2, user0

There are some special cases which might help, like the uadd_overflow_trap instruction, or using the carry output of iadd_cout as the input to trapnz.

Do those options cover your needs?

Ok, thanks. the icmp / trapnz is good enough. I'll check the uadd_overflow_trap too also.

I guess I can close the ticket as my understanding of trapz / trapnz was eronuous: it doesn't take a CFlag but a Value (and so it's not a direct replacement to trap_if)

Right, trapif was removed as part of our effort to remove integer/floating-point CPU flags from CLIF. So yeah, I'll go ahead and close this. Thanks for asking the question though—it's always good to hear from folks who are using Cranelift!
