This allows a call site tag in CU A to reference a callee DIE in CU B without resorting to creating an incomplete duplicate DIE for the callee inside of CU A. We already allow cross-CU references of subprogram declarations, so it doesn't seem like definitions ought to be special. This improves entry value evaluation and tail call frame synthesis in the LTO setting. During LTO, it's common for cross-module inlining to produce a call in some CU A where the callee resides in a different CU, and there is no declaration subprogram for the callee anywhere. In this case llvm would (unnecessarily, I think) emit an empty DW_TAG_subprogram in order to fill in the call site tag. That empty 'definition' defeats entry value evaluation etc., because the debugger can't figure out what it means. As a follow-up, maybe we could add a DWARF verifier check that a DW_TAG_subprogram at least has a DW_AT_name attribute. Update: Reland with a fix to create a declaration DIE when the declaration is missing from the CU's retainedTypes list. The declaration is left out of the retainedTypes list in two cases: 1) Re-compiling pre-r266445 bitcode (in which declarations weren't added to the retainedTypes list), and 2) Doing LTO function importing (which doesn't update the retainedTypes list). It's possible to handle (1) and (2) by modifying the retainedTypes list (in AutoUpgrade, or in the LTO importing logic resp.), but I don't see an advantage to doing it this way, as it would cause more DWARF to be emitted compared to creating the declaration DIEs lazily. Tested with a stage2 ThinLTO+RelWithDebInfo build of clang, and with a ReleaseLTO-g build of the test suite. rdar://46577651, rdar://57855316, rdar://57840415 Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D70350 |

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure
This directory and its subdirectories contain source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and runtime environments.
The README briefly describes how to get started with building LLVM. For more information on how to contribute to the LLVM project, please take a look at the Contributing to LLVM guide.
Getting Started with the LLVM System
Taken from https://llvm.org/docs/GettingStarted.html.
Overview
Welcome to the LLVM project!
The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called "LLVM". This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and converts it into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer. It also contains basic regression tests.
C-like languages use the Clang front end. This component compiles C, C++, Objective C, and Objective C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.
Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
Getting the Source Code and Building LLVM
The LLVM Getting Started documentation may be out of date. The Clang Getting Started page might have more accurate information.
This is an example workflow and configuration to get and build the LLVM source:
-
Checkout LLVM (including related subprojects like Clang):
-
git clone https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project.git -
Or, on windows,
git clone --config core.autocrlf=false https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project.git
-
-
Configure and build LLVM and Clang:
-
cd llvm-project -
mkdir build -
cd build -
cmake -G <generator> [options] ../llvmSome common generators are:
Ninja--- for generating Ninja build files. Most llvm developers use Ninja.Unix Makefiles--- for generating make-compatible parallel makefiles.Visual Studio--- for generating Visual Studio projects and solutions.Xcode--- for generating Xcode projects.
Some Common options:
-
-DLLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS='...'--- semicolon-separated list of the LLVM subprojects you'd like to additionally build. Can include any of: clang, clang-tools-extra, libcxx, libcxxabi, libunwind, lldb, compiler-rt, lld, polly, or debuginfo-tests.For example, to build LLVM, Clang, libcxx, and libcxxabi, use
-DLLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS="clang;libcxx;libcxxabi". -
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=directory--- Specify for directory the full pathname of where you want the LLVM tools and libraries to be installed (default/usr/local). -
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=type--- Valid options for type are Debug, Release, RelWithDebInfo, and MinSizeRel. Default is Debug. -
-DLLVM_ENABLE_ASSERTIONS=On--- Compile with assertion checks enabled (default is Yes for Debug builds, No for all other build types).
-
Run your build tool of choice!
-
The default target (i.e.
ninjaormake) will build all of LLVM. -
The
check-alltarget (i.e.ninja check-all) will run the regression tests to ensure everything is in working order. -
CMake will generate build targets for each tool and library, and most LLVM sub-projects generate their own
check-<project>target. -
Running a serial build will be slow. To improve speed, try running a parallel build. That's done by default in Ninja; for
make, usemake -j NNN(NNN is the number of parallel jobs, use e.g. number of CPUs you have.)
