The LLVM 2.6 distribution currently consists of code from the core LLVM
|
|
|
|
|
repository (which roughly includes the LLVM optimizers, code generators
|
|
|
|
|
and supporting tools), the Clang repository and the llvm-gcc repository. In
|
|
|
|
|
addition to this code, the LLVM Project includes other sub-projects that are in
|
|
|
|
|
development. Here we include updates on these subprojects.

<p>The <a href="http://clang.llvm.org/">Clang project</a> is an effort to build
|
2009-10-13 17:48:04 +00:00
|
|
|
a set of new 'LLVM native' front-end technologies for the C family of languages.
|
|
|
|
|
LLVM 2.6 is the first release to officially include Clang, and it provides a
|
|
|
|
|
production quality C and Objective-C compiler. If you are interested in <a
|
|
|
|
|
href="http://clang.llvm.org/performance.html">fast compiles</a> and
|
|
|
|
|
<a href="http://clang.llvm.org/diagnostics.html">good diagnostics</a>, we
|
|
|
|
|
encourage you to try it out. Clang currently compiles typical Objective-C code
|
|
|
|
|
3x faster than GCC and compiles C code about 30% faster than GCC at -O0 -g
|
|
|
|
|
(which is when the most pressure is on the frontend).</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>In addition to supporting these languages, C++ support is also <a
|
|
|
|
|
href="http://clang.llvm.org/cxx_status.html">well under way</a>, and mainline
|
|
|
|
|
Clang is able to parse the libstdc++ 4.2 headers and even codegen simple apps.
|
|
|
|
|
If you are interested in Clang C++ support or any other Clang feature, we
|
|
|
|
|
strongly encourage you to get involved on the <a

<p>Previously announced in the 2.4 and 2.5 LLVM releases, the Clang project also
|
2009-02-27 07:01:32 +00:00
|
|
|
includes an early stage static source code analysis tool for <a

href="http://clang.llvm.org/StaticAnalysis.html">automatically finding bugs</a>
|
2009-10-13 17:48:04 +00:00
|
|
|
in C and Objective-C programs. The tool performs checks to find
|
2009-02-27 07:01:32 +00:00
|
|
|
bugs that occur on a specific path within a program.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
2009-10-13 17:48:04 +00:00
|
|
|
<p>In the LLVM 2.6 time-frame, the analyzer core has undergone several important
|
|
|
|
|
improvements and cleanups and now includes a new <em>Checker</em> interface that
|
|
|
|
|
is intended to eventually serve as a basis for domain-specific checks. Further,
|
|
|
|
|
in addition to generating HTML files for reporting analysis results, the
|
|
|
|
|
analyzer can now also emit bug reports in a structured XML format that is
|
|
|
|
|
intended to be easily readable by other programs.</p>

|
|
|
|
2009-03-02 15:28:15 +00:00
|
|
|
<p>The set of checks performed by the static analyzer continues to expand, and
|
2009-02-27 07:01:32 +00:00
|
|
|
future plans for the tool include full source-level inter-procedural analysis
|
|
|
|
|
and deeper checks such as buffer overrun detection. There are many opportunities
|
|
|
|
|
to extend and enhance the static analyzer, and anyone interested in working on
|
|
|
|
|
this project is encouraged to get involved!</p>

The new LLVM <a href="http://compiler-rt.llvm.org/">compiler-rt project</a>
|
|
|
|
|
is a simple library that provides an implementation of the low-level
|
|
|
|
|
target-specific hooks required by code generation and other runtime components.
|
|
|
|
|
For example, when compiling for a 32-bit target, converting a double to a 64-bit
|
|
|
|
|
unsigned integer is compiled into a runtime call to the "__fixunsdfdi"
|
|
|
|
|
function. The compiler-rt library provides highly optimized implementations of
|
|
|
|
|
this and other low-level routines (some are 3x faster than the equivalent
|
|
|
|
|
libgcc routines).</p>

The new LLVM <a href="http://klee.llvm.org/">KLEE project</a> is a symbolic
|
|
|
|
|
execution framework for programs in LLVM bitcode form. KLEE tries to
|
|
|
|
|
symbolically evaluate "all" paths through the application and records state
|
|
|
|
|
transitions that lead to fault states. This allows it to construct testcases
|
|
|
|
|
that lead to faults and can even be used to verify algorithms. For more
|
|
|
|
|
details, please see the <a

The goal of <a href="http://dragonegg.llvm.org/">DragonEgg</a> is to make

<a href="http://dragonegg.llvm.org/">DragonEgg</a> is a shared library (dragonegg.so)
|
2009-10-13 17:48:04 +00:00
|
|
|
that is loaded by gcc at runtime. It uses the new gcc plugin architecture to
|
|
|
|
|
disable the GCC optimizers and code generators, and schedule the LLVM optimizers
|
|
|
|
|
and code generators (or direct output of LLVM IR) instead. Currently only Linux
|
|
|
|
|
and Darwin are supported, and only on x86-32 and x86-64. It should be easy to
|
|
|
|
|
add additional unix-like architectures and other processor families. In theory
|
|
|
|
|
it should be possible to use <a href="http://dragonegg.llvm.org/">DragonEgg</a>
|
|
|
|
|
with any language supported by gcc, however only C and Fortran work well for the
|
|
|
|
|
moment. Ada and C++ work to some extent, while Java, Obj-C and Obj-C++ are so
|
|
|
|
|
far entirely untested. Since gcc-4.5 has not yet been released, neither has
|
|
|
|
|
<a href="http://dragonegg.llvm.org/">DragonEgg</a>. To build
|
|
|
|
|
<a href="http://dragonegg.llvm.org/">DragonEgg</a> you will need to check out the
|
|
|
|
|
development versions of <a href="http://gcc.gnu.org/svn.html/"> gcc</a>,
|
|
|
|
|
<a href="http://llvm.org/docs/GettingStarted.html#checkout">llvm</a> and

The LLVM Machine Code (MC) Toolkit project is a (very early) effort to build
|
|
|
|
|
better tools for dealing with machine code, object file formats, etc. The idea
|
|
|
|
|
is to be able to generate most of the target specific details of assemblers and
|
|
|
|
|
disassemblers from existing LLVM target .td files (with suitable enhancements),
|
|
|
|
|
and to build infrastructure for reading and writing common object file formats.
|
|
|
|
|
One of the first deliverables is to build a full assembler and integrate it into
|
|
|
|
|
the compiler, which is predicted to substantially reduce compile time in some
|
|
|
|
|
scenarios.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>In the LLVM 2.6 timeframe, the MC framework has grown to the point where it
|
|
|
|
|
can reliably parse and pretty print (with some encoding information) a
|
|
|
|
|
darwin/x86 .s file successfully, and has the very early phases of a Mach-O
|
|
|
|
|
assembler in progress. Beyond the MC framework itself, major refactoring of the
|
|
|
|
|
LLVM code generator has started. The idea is to make the code generator reason
|
|
|
|
|
about the code it is producing in a much more semantic way, rather than a
|
|
|
|
|
textual way. For example, the code generator now uses MCSection objects to
|
|
|
|
|
represent section assignments, instead of text strings that print to .section
|
|
|
|
|
directives.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>MC is an early and ongoing project that will hopefully continue to lead to
|
|
|
|
|
many improvements in the code generator and build infrastructure useful for many
|
|
|
|
|
other situations.

2009-10-13 17:48:04 +00:00
|
|
|
<li>New <a href="#compiler-rt">compiler-rt</a>, <A href="#klee">KLEE</a>
|
|
|
|
|
and <a href="#mc">machine code toolkit</a> sub-projects.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Debug information now includes line numbers when optimizations are enabled.
|
|
|
|
|
This allows statistical sampling tools like OProfile and Shark to map
|
|
|
|
|
samples back to source lines.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>LLVM now includes new experimental backends to support the MSP430, SystemZ
|
|
|
|
|
and BlackFin architectures.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>LLVM supports a new <a href="GoldPlugin.html">Gold Linker Plugin</a> which
|
|
|
|
|
enables support for <a href="LinkTimeOptimization.html">transparent
|
|
|
|
|
link-time optimization</a> on ELF targets when used with the Gold binutils
|
|
|
|
|
linker.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>LLVM now supports doing optimization and code generation on multiple
|
|
|
|
|
threads. Please see the <a href="ProgrammersManual.html#threading">LLVM

<p>LLVM IR has several new features for better support of new targets and that
|
|
|
|
|
expose new optimization opportunities:</p>
|
2008-02-10 08:17:19 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2008-06-08 22:59:35 +00:00
|
|
|
<ul>
|
2009-10-13 17:48:04 +00:00
|
|
|
<li>The <a href="LangRef.html#i_add">add</a>, <a
|
|
|
|
|
href="LangRef.html#i_sub">sub</a> and <a href="LangRef.html#i_mul">mul</a>
|
|
|
|
|
instructions have been split into integer and floating point versions (like
|
|
|
|
|
divide and remainder), introducing new <a
|
|
|
|
|
href="LangRef.html#i_fadd">fadd</a>, <a href="LangRef.html#i_fsub">fsub</a>,
|
|
|
|
|
and <a href="LangRef.html#i_fmul">fmul</a> instructions.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>The <a href="LangRef.html#i_add">add</a>, <a
|
|
|
|
|
href="LangRef.html#i_sub">sub</a> and <a href="LangRef.html#i_mul">mul</a>
|
|
|
|
|
instructions now support optional "nsw" and "nuw" bits which indicate that
|
|
|
|
|
the operation is guaranteed to not overflow (in the signed or
|
|
|
|
|
unsigned case, respectively). This gives the optimizer more information and
|
|
|
|
|
can be used for things like C signed integer values, which are undefined on
|
|
|
|
|
overflow.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>The <a href="LangRef.html#i_sdiv">sdiv</a> instruction now supports an
|
|
|
|
|
optional "exact" flag which indicates that the result of the division is
|
|
|
|
|
guaranteed to have a remainder of zero. This is useful for optimizing pointer
|
|
|
|
|
subtraction in C.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>The <a href="LangRef.html#i_getelementptr">getelementptr</a> instruction now
|
|
|
|
|
supports arbitrary integer index values for array/pointer indices. This
|
|
|
|
|
allows for better code generation on 16-bit pointer targets like PIC16.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>The <a href="LangRef.html#i_getelementptr">getelementptr</a> instruction now
|
|
|
|
|
supports an "inbounds" optimization hint that tells the optimizer that the
|
|
|
|
|
pointer is guaranteed to be within its allocated object.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>LLVM now support a series of new linkage types for global values which allow
|
|
|
|
|
for better optimization and new capabilities:
|
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<li><a href="LangRef.html#linkage_linkonce">linkonce_odr</a> and
|
|
|
|
|
<a href="LangRef.html#linkage_weak">weak_odr</a> have the same linkage
|
|
|
|
|
semantics as the non-"odr" linkage types. The difference is that these
|
|
|
|
|
linkage types indicate that all definitions of the specified function
|
|
|
|
|
are guaranteed to have the same semantics. This allows inlining
|
|
|
|
|
templates functions in C++ but not inlining weak functions in C,
|
|
|
|
|
which previously both got the same linkage type.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li><a href="LangRef.html#linkage_available_externally">available_externally
|
|
|
|
|
</a> is a new linkage type that gives the optimizer visibility into the
|
|
|
|
|
definition of a function (allowing inlining and side effect analysis)
|
|
|
|
|
but that does not cause code to be generated. This allows better
|
|
|
|
|
optimization of "GNU inline" functions, extern templates, etc.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li><a href="LangRef.html#linkage_linker_private">linker_private</a> is a
|
|
|
|
|
new linkage type (which is only useful on Mac OS X) that is used for
|
|
|
|
|
some metadata generation and other obscure things.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
</ul></li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Finally, target-specific intrinsics can now return multiple values, which
|
|
|
|
|
is useful for modeling target operations with multiple results.</li>

<p>In addition to a large array of minor performance tweaks and bug fixes, this

2008-10-13 21:50:36 +00:00

release includes a few major enhancements and additions to the optimizers:</p>

|
|
|
<li>The <a href="Passes.html#scalarrepl">Scalar Replacement of Aggregates</a>
|
|
|
|
|
pass has many improvements that allow it to better promote vector unions,
|
|
|
|
|
variables which are memset, and much more strange code that can happen to
|
|
|
|
|
do bitfield accesses to register operations. An interesting change is that
|
|
|
|
|
it now produces "unusual" integer sizes (like i1704) in some cases and lets
|
|
|
|
|
other optimizers clean things up.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>The <a href="Passes.html#loop-reduce">Loop Strength Reduction</a> pass now
|
|
|
|
|
promotes small integer induction variables to 64-bit on 64-bit targets,
|
|
|
|
|
which provides a major performance boost for much numerical code. It also
|
|
|
|
|
promotes shorts to int on 32-bit hosts, etc. LSR now also analyzes pointer
|
|
|
|
|
expressions (e.g. getelementptrs), as well as integers.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>The <a href="Passes.html#gvn">GVN</a> pass now eliminates partial
|
|
|
|
|
redundancies of loads in simple cases.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>The <a href="Passes.html#inline">Inliner</a> now reuses stack space when
|
|
|
|
|
inlining similar arrays from multiple callees into one caller.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>LLVM includes a new experimental Static Single Information (SSI)
|
|

construction pass.</li>

|
|
<li>The JIT now supports generating more than 16M of code.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>When configured with <tt>--with-oprofile</tt>, the JIT can now inform
|
|
|
|
|
OProfile about JIT'd code, allowing OProfile to get line number and function
|
|
|
|
|
name information for JIT'd functions.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>When "libffi" is available, the LLVM interpreter now uses it, which supports
|
|
|
|
|
calling almost arbitrary external (natively compiled) functions.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Clients of the JIT can now register a 'JITEventListener' object to receive
|
|
|
|
|
callbacks when the JIT emits or frees machine code. The OProfile support
|
|
|
|
|
uses this mechanism.</li>

<p>We have put a significant amount of work into the code generator
|
|
|
|
|
infrastructure, which allows us to implement more aggressive algorithms and make
|

it run faster:</p>

|
|
|
|
2009-10-13 17:48:04 +00:00
|
|
|
<li>The <tt>llc -asm-verbose</tt> option (exposed from llvm-gcc as <tt>-dA</tt>
|
|
|
|
|
and clang as <tt>-fverbose-asm</tt> or <tt>-dA</tt>) now adds a lot of
|
|
|
|
|
useful information in comments to
|
|
|
|
|
the generated .s file. This information includes location information (if
|
|
|
|
|
built with <tt>-g</tt>) and loop nest information.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>The code generator now supports a new MachineVerifier pass which is useful
|
|
|
|
|
for finding bugs in targets and codegen passes.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>The Machine LICM is now enabled by default. It hoists instructions out of
|
|
|
|
|
loops (such as constant pool loads, loads from read-only stubs, vector
|
|
|
|
|
constant synthesization code, etc.) and is currently configured to only do
|
|
|
|
|
so when the hoisted operation can be rematerialized.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>The Machine Sinking pass is now enabled by default. This pass moves
|
|
|
|
|
side-effect free operations down the CFG so that they are executed on fewer
|
|
|
|
|
paths through a function.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>The code generator now performs "stack slot coloring" of register spills,
|
|
|
|
|
which allows spill slots to be reused. This leads to smaller stack frames
|
|
|
|
|
in cases where there are lots of register spills.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>The register allocator has many improvements to take better advantage of
|
|
|
|
|
commutable operations, various spiller peephole optimizations, and can now
|
|
|
|
|
coalesce cross-register-class copies.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Tblgen now supports multiclass inheritance and a number of new string and
|
|
|
|
|
list operations like <tt>!(subst)</tt>, <tt>!(foreach)</tt>, <tt>!car</tt>,
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>!cdr</tt>, <tt>!null</tt>, <tt>!if</tt>, <tt>!cast</tt>.
|
|
|
|
|
These make the .td files more expressive and allow more aggressive factoring
|
|
|
|
|
of duplication across instruction patterns.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Target-specific intrinsics can now be added without having to hack VMCore to
|
|
|
|
|
add them. This makes it easier to maintain out-of-tree targets.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>The instruction selector is better at propagating information about values
|
|
|
|
|
(such as whether they are sign/zero extended etc.) across basic block
|
|
|
|
|
boundaries.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>The SelectionDAG datastructure has new nodes for representing buildvector
|
|
|
|
|
and <a href="http://llvm.org/PR2957">vector shuffle</a> operations. This
|
|
|
|
|
makes operations and pattern matching more efficient and easier to get
|
|
|
|
|
right.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>The Prolog/Epilog Insertion Pass now has experimental support for performing
|
|
|
|
|
the "shrink wrapping" optimization, which moves spills and reloads around in
|
|
|
|
|
the CFG to avoid doing saves on paths that don't need them.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>LLVM includes new experimental support for writing ELF .o files directly
|
|
|
|
|
from the compiler. It works well for many simple C testcases, but doesn't
|
|
|
|
|
support exception handling, debug info, inline assembly, etc.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Targets can now specify register allocation hints through
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>MachineRegisterInfo::setRegAllocationHint</tt>. A regalloc hint consists
|
|
|
|
|
of hint type and physical register number. A hint type of zero specifies a
|
|
|
|
|
register allocation preference. Other hint type values are target specific
|
|
|
|
|
which are resolved by <tt>TargetRegisterInfo::ResolveRegAllocHint</tt>. An
|
|
|
|
|
example is the ARM target which uses register hints to request that the
|
|
|
|
|
register allocator provide an even / odd register pair to two virtual
|
|
|
|
|
registers.</li>

by OS kernels.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>X86-64 now models implicit zero extensions better, which allows the code

generator to remove a lot of redundant zexts. It also models the 8-bit "H"
|

situations.</li>
|

<li>The vector forms of the <a href="LangRef.html#i_icmp">icmp</a> and <a

<p>New features of the ARM target include:
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Preliminary support for processors, such as the Cortex-A8 and Cortex-A9,
|
|
|
|
|
that implement version v7-A of the ARM architecture. The ARM backend now
|
|
|
|
|
supports both the Thumb2 and Advanced SIMD (Neon) instruction sets.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>The AAPCS-VFP "hard float" calling conventions are also supported with the
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>-float-abi=hard</tt> flag.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>The ARM calling convention code is now tblgen generated instead of resorting
|
|
|
|
|
to C++ code.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>These features are still somewhat experimental
|
|
|
|
|
and subject to change. The Neon intrinsics, in particular, may change in future
|
|
|
|
|
releases of LLVM. ARMv7 support has progressed a lot on top of tree since 2.6
|
|

|
|
branched.</p>

<li>New <a href="http://llvm.org/doxygen/PrettyStackTrace_8h-source.html">
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>PrettyStackTrace</tt> class</a> allows crashes of llvm tools (and applications
|
|
|
|
|
that integrate them) to provide more detailed indication of what the
|
|
|
|
|
compiler was doing at the time of the crash (e.g. running a pass).

|
|
At the top level for each LLVM tool, it includes the command line arguments.

<li>New <a href="http://llvm.org/doxygen/StringRef_8h-source.html">StringRef</a>
|
|
|
|
|
and <a href="http://llvm.org/doxygen/Twine_8h-source.html">Twine</a> classes
|
|
|
|
|
make operations on character ranges and
|
|
|
|
|
string concatenation to be more efficient. <tt>StringRef</tt> is just a <tt>const
|
|
|
|
|
char*</tt> with a length, <tt>Twine</tt> is a light-weight rope.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>LLVM has new <tt>WeakVH</tt>, <tt>AssertingVH</tt> and <tt>CallbackVH</tt>
|

classes, which make it easier to write LLVM IR transformations. <tt>WeakVH</tt>

<tt>AssertingVH</tt> aborts the program if the

|
|
|
|
referenced value is destroyed while it is being referenced. <tt>CallbackVH</tt>

|
|
|
|
<li>The new '<a href="http://llvm.org/doxygen/Triple_8h-source.html">Triple

Guide</a> for more information.</li>
|
|
|
|

<li>LLVM profile information support has been significantly improved to produce
|
|
|
|
|
correct use counts, and has support for edge profiling with reduced runtime
|
|
|
|
|
overhead. Combined, the generated profile information is both more correct and
|

imposes about half as much overhead (2.6. from 12% to 6% overhead on SPEC

supported APIs.</li>
|

<li>LLVM 2.6 includes a brand new experimental LLVM bindings to the Ada2005
|

<li>Dynamic plugins now work on Windows.</li>
|

|
<p>If you're already an LLVM user or developer with out-of-tree changes based
|
2009-10-13 17:48:04 +00:00
|
|
|
on LLVM 2.5, this section lists some "gotchas" that you may run into upgrading
|
2008-10-13 22:06:31 +00:00
|
|
|
from the previous release.</p>
|
2008-10-13 18:01:01 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2008-10-13 22:06:31 +00:00
|
|
|
<ul>
|
2009-10-13 17:48:04 +00:00
|
|
|
<li>The Itanium (IA64) backend has been removed. It was not actively supported
|
|
|
|
|
and had bitrotted.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>The BigBlock register allocator has been removed, it had also bitrotted.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>The C Backend (<tt>-march=c</tt>) is no longer considered part of the LLVM release
|
|
|
|
|
criteria. We still want it to work, but no one is maintaining it and it lacks
|
|
|
|
|
support for arbitrary precision integers and other important IR features.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>All LLVM tools now default to overwriting their output file, behaving more
|
|
|
|
|
like standard unix tools. Previously, this only happened with the '<tt>-f</tt>'
|
|
|
|
|
option.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>LLVM build now builds all libraries as .a files instead of some
|
|
|
|
|
libraries as relinked .o files. This requires some APIs like
|
|
|
|
|
InitializeAllTargets.h.
|
|
|
|
|
</li>

|
2008-10-13 22:06:31 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>In addition, many APIs have changed in this release. Some of the major LLVM
|
|
|
|
|
API changes are:</p>
|
2008-10-13 17:57:36 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
2009-10-13 17:48:04 +00:00
|
|
|
<li>All uses of <tt>hash_set</tt> and <tt>hash_map</tt> have been removed from
|
|
|
|
|
the LLVM tree and the wrapper headers have been removed.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>The llvm/Streams.h and <tt>DOUT</tt> member of Debug.h have been removed. The
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>llvm::Ostream</tt> class has been completely removed and replaced with
|
|
|
|
|
uses of <tt>raw_ostream</tt>.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>LLVM's global uniquing tables for <tt>Type</tt>s and <tt>Constant</tt>s have
|
|
|
|
|
been privatized into members of an <tt>LLVMContext</tt>. A number of APIs
|
|
|
|
|
now take an <tt>LLVMContext</tt> as a parameter. To smooth the transition
|
|
|
|
|
for clients that will only ever use a single context, the new
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>getGlobalContext()</tt> API can be used to access a default global
|
|
|
|
|
context which can be passed in any and all cases where a context is
|
|
|
|
|
required.
|
|
|
|
|
<li>The <tt>getABITypeSize</tt> methods are now called <tt>getAllocSize</tt>.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>The <tt>Add</tt>, <tt>Sub</tt> and <tt>Mul</tt> operators are no longer
|
|
|
|
|
overloaded for floating-point types. Floating-point addition, subtraction
|
|
|
|
|
and multiplication are now represented with new operators <tt>FAdd</tt>,
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>FSub</tt> and <tt>FMul</tt>. In the <tt>IRBuilder</tt> API,
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>CreateAdd</tt>, <tt>CreateSub</tt>, <tt>CreateMul</tt> and
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>CreateNeg</tt> should only be used for integer arithmetic now;
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>CreateFAdd</tt>, <tt>CreateFSub</tt>, <tt>CreateFMul</tt> and
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>CreateFNeg</tt> should now be used for floating-point arithmetic.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>The <tt>DynamicLibrary</tt> class can no longer be constructed, its functionality has
|
|
|
|
|
moved to static member functions.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li><tt>raw_fd_ostream</tt>'s constructor for opening a given filename now
|
|
|
|
|
takes an extra <tt>Force</tt> argument. If <tt>Force</tt> is set to
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>false</tt>, an error will be reported if a file with the given name
|
|
|
|
|
already exists. If <tt>Force</tt> is set to <tt>true</tt>, the file will
|
|
|
|
|
be silently truncated (which is the behavior before this flag was
|
|
|
|
|
added).</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li><tt>SCEVHandle</tt> no longer exists, because reference counting is no
|
|
|
|
|
longer done for <tt>SCEV*</tt> objects, instead <tt>const SCEV*</tt>
|
|
|
|
|
should be used.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Many APIs, notably <tt>llvm::Value</tt>, now use the <tt>StringRef</tt>
|
|
|
|
|
and <tt>Twine</tt> classes instead of passing <tt>const char*</tt>
|
|
|
|
|
or <tt>std::string</tt>, as described in
|
|
|
|
|
the <a href="ProgrammersManual.html#string_apis">Programmer's Manual</a>. Most
|
|
|
|
|
clients should be unaffected by this transition, unless they are used to
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>Value::getName()</tt> returning a string. Here are some tips on updating to
|
|
|
|
|
2.6:
|
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<li><tt>getNameStr()</tt> is still available, and matches the old
|
|
|
|
|
behavior. Replacing <tt>getName()</tt> calls with this is an safe option,
|
|
|
|
|
although more efficient alternatives are now possible.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>If you were just relying on <tt>getName()</tt> being able to be sent to
|
|
|
|
|
a <tt>std::ostream</tt>, consider migrating
|
|
|
|
|
to <tt>llvm::raw_ostream</tt>.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>If you were using <tt>getName().c_str()</tt> to get a <tt>const
|

<p>The core LLVM infrastructure uses GNU autoconf to adapt itself
|
2004-05-09 05:28:35 +00:00
|
|
|
to the machine and operating system on which it is built. However, minor
|
|
|
|
|
porting may be required to get LLVM to work on new platforms. We welcome your
|
|
|
|
|
portability patches and reports of successful builds or error messages.</p>

<p>The only major language feature of GCC not supported by llvm-gcc is
|
|
|
|
|
the <tt>__builtin_apply</tt> family of builtins. However, some extensions
|
|
|
|
|
are only supported on some targets. For example, trampolines are only
|
2008-06-08 20:18:35 +00:00
|
|
|
supported on some targets (these are used when you take the address of a
|
|
|
|
|
nested function).</p>

The llvm-gcc 4.2 Ada compiler works fairly well; however, this is not a mature
|
|
|
|
|
technology, and problems should be expected.
|
2008-02-12 06:29:45 +00:00
|
|
|
<ul>
|
2008-06-08 20:18:35 +00:00
|
|
|
<li>The Ada front-end currently only builds on X86-32. This is mainly due
|
2009-03-02 15:28:15 +00:00
|
|
|
to lack of trampoline support (pointers to nested functions) on other platforms.
|
|
|
|
|
However, it <a href="http://llvm.org/PR2006">also fails to build on X86-64</a>
|
2008-02-12 06:29:45 +00:00
|
|
|
which does support trampolines.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>The Ada front-end <a href="http://llvm.org/PR2007">fails to bootstrap</a>.
|
2009-02-25 11:59:06 +00:00
|
|
|
This is due to lack of LLVM support for <tt>setjmp</tt>/<tt>longjmp</tt> style
|
|
|
|
|
exception handling, which is used internally by the compiler.
|
2009-10-13 17:48:04 +00:00
|
|
|
Workaround: configure with <tt>--disable-bootstrap</tt>.</li>
|
2008-10-13 17:27:23 +00:00
|
|
|
<li>The c380004, <a href="http://llvm.org/PR2010">c393010</a>
|
|
|
|
|
and <a href="http://llvm.org/PR2421">cxg2021</a> ACATS tests fail
|
2009-02-25 11:59:06 +00:00
|
|
|
(c380004 also fails with gcc-4.2 mainline).
|
|
|
|
|
If the compiler is built with checks disabled then <a href="http://llvm.org/PR2010">c393010</a>
|
|
|
|
|
causes the compiler to go into an infinite loop, using up all system memory.</li>
|
2009-03-02 16:35:57 +00:00
|
|
|
<li>Some GCC specific Ada tests continue to crash the compiler.</li>
|
2009-10-13 17:48:04 +00:00
|
|
|
<li>The <tt>-E</tt> binder option (exception backtraces)
|
2008-02-12 06:29:45 +00:00
|
|
|
<a href="http://llvm.org/PR1982">does not work</a> and will result in programs
|
2009-10-13 17:48:04 +00:00
|
|
|
crashing if an exception is raised. Workaround: do not use <tt>-E</tt>.</li>
|
2008-02-12 06:29:45 +00:00
|
|
|
<li>Only discrete types <a href="http://llvm.org/PR1981">are allowed to start
|
|
|
|
|
or finish at a non-byte offset</a> in a record. Workaround: do not pack records
|
|
|
|
|
or use representation clauses that result in a field of a non-discrete type
|
|
|
|
|
starting or finishing in the middle of a byte.</li>
|
2008-06-08 21:19:07 +00:00
|
|
|
<li>The <tt>lli</tt> interpreter <a href="http://llvm.org/PR2009">considers
|
|
|
|
|
'main' as generated by the Ada binder to be invalid</a>.
|
|
|
|
|
Workaround: hand edit the file to use pointers for <tt>argv</tt> and
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>envp</tt> rather than integers.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>The <tt>-fstack-check</tt> option <a href="http://llvm.org/PR2008">is
|
