COMMON blocks are a feature of Fortran that has no direct analog in C languages, but they are similar to data sections in assembly language programming. A COMMON block is a named area of memory that holds a collection of variables. Fortran subprograms may map the COMMON block memory area to their own, possibly distinct, non-empty list of variables. A Fortran COMMON block might look like the following example.
COMMON /ALPHA/ I, J
For this construct, the compiler generates a new scope-like DI construct (!DICommonBlock) into which variables (see I, J above) can be placed. As the common block implies a range of storage with global lifetime, the !DICommonBlock refers to a !DIGlobalVariable. The Fortran variable that comprise the COMMON block are also linked via metadata to offsets within the global variable that stands for the entire common block.
@alpha_ = common global %alphabytes_ zeroinitializer, align 64, !dbg !27, !dbg !30, !dbg !33!14 = distinct !DISubprogram(…)
!20 = distinct !DICommonBlock(scope: !14, declaration: !25, name: "alpha")
!25 = distinct !DIGlobalVariable(scope: !20, name: "common alpha", type: !24)
!27 = !DIGlobalVariableExpression(var: !25, expr: !DIExpression())
!29 = distinct !DIGlobalVariable(scope: !20, name: "i", file: !3, type: !28)
!30 = !DIGlobalVariableExpression(var: !29, expr: !DIExpression())
!31 = distinct !DIGlobalVariable(scope: !20, name: "j", file: !3, type: !28)
!32 = !DIExpression(DW_OP_plus_uconst, 4)
!33 = !DIGlobalVariableExpression(var: !31, expr: !32)
The DWARF generated for this is as follows.
DW_TAG_common_block:
DW_AT_name: alpha
DW_AT_location: @alpha_+0
DW_TAG_variable:
DW_AT_name: common alpha
DW_AT_type: array of 8 bytes

Just as as llvm IR supports explicitly specifying numeric value ids
for instructions, and emits them by default in textual output, now do
the same for blocks.
This is a slightly incompatible change in the textual IR format.
Previously, llvm would parse numeric labels as string names. E.g.
define void @f() {
br label %"55"
55:
ret void
}
defined a label *named* "55", even without needing to be quoted, while
the reference required quoting. Now, if you intend a block label which
looks like a value number to be a name, you must quote it in the
definition too (e.g. `"55":`).
Previously, llvm would print nameless blocks only as a comment, and
would omit it if there was no predecessor. This could cause confusion
for readers of the IR, just as unnamed instructions did prior to the
addition of "%5 = " syntax, back in 2008 (PR2480).
Now, it will always print a label for an unnamed block, with the
exception of the entry block. (IMO it may be better to print it for
the entry-block as well. However, that requires updating many more
tests.)
Thus, the following is supported, and is the canonical printing:
define i32 @f(i32, i32) {
%3 = add i32 %0, %1
br label %4
4:
ret i32 %3
}
New test cases covering this behavior are added, and other tests
updated as required.

This patch accompanies the RFC posted here:
http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2018-October/127239.html
This patch adds a new CallBr IR instruction to support asm-goto
inline assembly like gcc as used by the linux kernel. This
instruction is both a call instruction and a terminator
instruction with multiple successors. Only inline assembly
usage is supported today.
This also adds a new INLINEASM_BR opcode to SelectionDAG and
MachineIR to represent an INLINEASM block that is also
considered a terminator instruction.
There will likely be more bug fixes and optimizations to follow
this, but we felt it had reached a point where we would like to
switch to an incremental development model.

We understand that people may be surprised that we're moving the header

Essentially, all code in the project is now made available by the LLVM

our old license notice in the top-level files in each project and

Summary:
If LTOUnit splitting is disabled, the module summary analysis computes
the summary information necessary to perform single implementation
devirtualization during the thin link with the index and no IR. The
information collected from the regular LTO IR in the current hybrid WPD
algorithm is summarized, including:
1) For vtable definitions, record the function pointers and their offset
within the vtable initializer (subsumes the information collected from
IR by tryFindVirtualCallTargets).
2) A record for each type metadata summarizing the vtable definitions
decorated with that metadata (subsumes the TypeIdentiferMap collected
from IR).
Also added are the necessary bitcode records, and the corresponding
assembly support.
The index-based WPD will be sent as a follow-on.
Depends on D53890.

Summary:
Sometimes MIR-level passes create DILocations that were not present in the
LLVM-IR. For example, it may merge two DILocations together to produce a
DILocation that points to line 0.
Previously, the address of these DILocations were printed which prevented the
MIR from being read back into LLVM. With this patch, DILocations will use
metadata references where possible and fall back on serializing them inline like so:
MOV32mr %stack.0.x.addr, 1, _, 0, _, %0, debug-location !DILocation(line: 1, scope: !15)

Summary:
Ranges base address specifiers can save a lot of object size in
relocation records especially in optimized builds.
For an optimized self-host build of Clang with split DWARF and debug
info compression in object files, but uncompressed debug info in the
executable, this change produces about 18% smaller object files and 6%
larger executable.
While it would've been nice to turn this on by default, gold's 32 bit
gdb-index support crashes on this input & I don't think there's any
perfect heuristic to implement solely in LLVM that would suffice - so
we'll need a flag one way or another (also possible people might want to
aggressively optimized for executable size that contains debug info
(even with compression this would still come at some cost to executable
size)) - so let's plumb it through.

Summary:
The NotEligibleToImport flag on the GlobalValueSummary was set if it
isn't legal to import (e.g. because it references unpromotable locals)
and when it can't be inlined (in which case importing is pointless).
I split out the inlinable piece into a separate flag on the
FunctionSummary (doesn't make sense for aliases or global variables),
because in the future we may want to import for reasons other than
inlining.

Summary:
In D49565/r337503, the type id record writing was fixed so that only
referenced type ids were emitted into each per-module index for ThinLTO
distributed builds. However, this still left an efficiency issue: each
per-module index checked all type ids for membership in the referenced
set, yielding O(M*N) performance (M indexes and N type ids).
Change the TypeIdMap in the summary to be indexed by GUID, to facilitate
correlating with type identifier GUIDs referenced in the function
summary TypeIdInfo structures. This allowed simplifying other
places where a map from type id GUID to type id map entry was previously
being used to aid this correlation.
Also fix AsmWriter code to handle the rare case of type id GUID
collision.
For a large internal application, this reduced the thin link time by
almost 15%.

In cases where the debugger load time is a worthwhile tradeoff (or less
costly - such as loading from a DWP instead of a variety of DWOs
(possibly over a high-latency/distributed filesystem)) against object
file size, it can be reasonable to disable pubnames and corresponding
gdb-index creation in the linker.
A backend-flag version of this was implemented for NVPTX in
D44385/r327994 - which was fine for NVPTX which wouldn't mix-and-match
CUs. Now that it's going to be a user-facing option (likely powered by
"-gno-pubnames", the same as GCC) it should be encoded in the
DICompileUnit so it can vary per-CU.
After this, likely the NVPTX support should be migrated to the metadata
& the previous flag implementation should be removed.

We have located a bug in AssemblyWriter::printModuleSummaryIndex(). This
function outputs path strings incorrectly. Backslashes in the strings
are not correctly escaped.
Consequently, if a path name contains a backslash followed by two
hexadecimal characters, the sequence is incorrectly interpreted when the
output is read by another component. This mangles the path and results
in error.
This patch fixes this issue by calling printEscapedString() to output
the module paths.

In order to set breakpoints on labels and list source code around
labels, we need collect debug information for labels, i.e., label
name, the function label belong, line number in the file, and the
address label located. In order to keep these information in LLVM
IR and to allow backend to generate debug information correctly.
We create a new kind of metadata for labels, DILabel. The format
of DILabel is
!DILabel(scope: !1, name: "foo", file: !2, line: 3)
We hope to keep debug information as much as possible even the
code is optimized. So, we create a new kind of intrinsic for label
metadata to avoid the metadata is eliminated with basic block.
The intrinsic will keep existing if we keep it from optimized out.
The format of the intrinsic is
llvm.dbg.label(metadata !1)
It has only one argument, that is the DILabel metadata. The
intrinsic will follow the label immediately. Backend could get the
label metadata through the intrinsic's parameter.
We also create DIBuilder API for labels to be used by Frontend.
Frontend could use createLabel() to allocate DILabel objects, and use
insertLabel() to insert llvm.dbg.label intrinsic in LLVM IR.

new content types. In this extension a content type is added,
DW_LNCT_LLVM_source, which contains the embedded source code of the file.
Add new optional attribute for !DIFile IR metadata called source which contains
source text. Use this to output the source to the DWARF line table of code
objects. Analogously extend METADATA_FILE in Bitcode and .file directive in ASM
to support optional source.
Teach llvm-dwarfdump and llvm-objdump about the new values. Update the output
format of llvm-dwarfdump to make room for the new attribute on file_names
entries, and support embedded sources for the -source option in llvm-objdump.

This patch is the LLVM part of fixing the issues, described in
https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36168
* The representation of enumerator values in the debug info metadata now
contains a boolean flag isUnsigned, which determines how the bits of
the value are interpreted.
* The DW_TAG_enumeration type DIE now always (for DWARF version >= 3)
includes a DW_AT_type attribute, which refers to the underlying
integer type, as suggested in DWARFv4 (5.7 Enumeration Type Entries).
* The debug info metadata for enumeration type contains (in flags)
indication whether this is a C++11 "fixed enum".
* For C++11 enumeration with a fixed underlying type, the DIE also
includes the DW_AT_enum_class attribute (for DWARF version >= 4).
* Encoding of enumerator constants uses DW_FORM_sdata for signed values
and DW_FORM_udata for unsigned values, as suggested by DWARFv4 (7.5.4
Attribute Encodings).
The changes should be backwards compatible:
* the isUnsigned attribute is optional and defaults to false.
* if the underlying type for the enumeration is not available, the
enumerator values are considered signed.
* the FixedEnum flag defaults to clear.
* the bitcode format for DIEnumerator stores the unsigned flag bit #1 of
the first record element, so the format does not change and the zero
previously stored there is consistent with the false default for
IsUnsigned.

n Rust, an enum that carries data in the variants is, essentially, a
discriminated union. Furthermore, the Rust compiler will perform
space optimizations on such enums in some situations. Previously,
DWARF for these constructs was emitted using a hack (a magic field
name); but this approach stopped working when more space optimizations
were added in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/45225.
This patch changes LLVM to allow discriminated unions to be
represented in DWARF. It adds createDiscriminatedUnionType and
createDiscriminatedMemberType to DIBuilder and then arranges for this
to be emitted using DWARF's DW_TAG_variant_part and DW_TAG_variant.
Note that DWARF requires that a discriminated union be represented as
a structure with a variant part. However, as Rust only needs to emit
pure discriminated unions, this is what I chose to expose on
DIBuilder.

Summary:
This patch extends the DISubrange 'count' field to take either a
(signed) constant integer value or a reference to a DILocalVariable
or DIGlobalVariable.
This is patch [1/3] in a series to extend LLVM's DISubrange Metadata
node to support debugging of C99 variable length arrays and vectors with
runtime length like the Scalable Vector Extension for AArch64. It is
also a first step towards representing more complex cases like arrays
in Fortran.

This is similar to r322317, but for visibility. It is not as neat
because we have to special case extern_weak.
The idea is the same as the previous change, make the transition to
explicit dso_local easier for the frontends. With this they only have
to add dso_local to symbols where we need some external information to
decide if it is dso_local (like it being part of an ELF executable).
