add-ir-instruction

To add a new IR instruction to Hermes, you must modify documentation, register the instruction, define its class, implement the IR builder, add verification logic, update type inference, and implement code generation across multiple backends.

Adding an instruction to the Hermes compiler requires modifying files for documentation, instruction registration, class definitions, IR builder implementation, verification logic, type inference, and code generation for HBC, SH, and Mins backends.

Yes, adding a new Hermes IR instruction requires implementing code generation across multiple backends, specifically HBC, SH, and Mins, ensuring the new instruction is fully supported throughout the compiler infrastructure.

When implementing a new Hermes IR instruction, you must follow key conventions including proper documentation placement and maintaining naming consistency across all modified files to ensure correct integration into the codebase.

Implementing a lowering pass for a new IR instruction in Hermes is optional. The guide addresses optional lowering pass implementation alongside mandatory steps like type inference, verification logic, and backend code generation.

After adding an IR instruction to Hermes, you must follow specific testing procedures to verify the implementation. This ensures the new instruction correctly integrates with type inference, verification logic, and backend code generation.
