Making the new TableGen documentation official and marking the old file as
"Moved". Also, reverting the original LangRef as the normative formal
description of the language, while keeping the "new" LangRef as LangIntro
for the less inlcined to reading language grammars.
We should remove TableGenFundamentals.rst one day, but for now, just a
warning that it moved will have to do, while we make sure there are no more
links to it from elsewhere.

This adds back r204781.
Original message:
Aliases are just another name for a position in a file. As such, the
regular symbol resolutions are not applied. For example, given
define void @my_func() {
ret void
}
@my_alias = alias weak void ()* @my_func
@my_alias2 = alias void ()* @my_alias
We produce without this patch:
.weak my_alias
my_alias = my_func
.globl my_alias2
my_alias2 = my_alias
That is, in the resulting ELF file my_alias, my_func and my_alias are
just 3 names pointing to offset 0 of .text. That is *not* the
semantics of IR linking. For example, linking in a
@my_alias = alias void ()* @other_func
would require the strong my_alias to override the weak one and
my_alias2 would end up pointing to other_func.
There is no way to represent that with aliases being just another
name, so the best solution seems to be to just disallow it, converting
a miscompile into an error.

After some discussion on IRC, emitting a call to the library function seems
like a better default, since it will move from a compiler internal error to
a linker error, that the user can work around until LLVM is fixed.
I'm also adding a note on the responsibility of the user to confirm that
the cache was cleared on platforms where nothing is done.

Implementing the LLVM part of the call to __builtin___clear_cache
which translates into an intrinsic @llvm.clear_cache and is lowered
by each target, either to a call to __clear_cache or nothing at all
incase the caches are unified.
Updating LangRef and adding some tests for the implemented architectures.
Other archs will have to implement the method in case this builtin
has to be compiled for it, since the default behaviour is to bail
unimplemented.
A Clang patch is required for the builtin to be lowered into the
llvm intrinsic. This will be done next.

This option caused LowerInvoke to generate code using SJLJ-based
exception handling, but there is no code left that interprets the
jmp_buf stack that the resulting code maintained (llvm.sjljeh.jblist).
This option has been obsolete for a while, and replaced by
SjLjEHPrepare.
This leaves the default behaviour of LowerInvoke, which is to convert
invokes to calls.

This is mainly a movement of content around to give place to new content
allowing different people to add bits to it in the right place. There is some
new content, but mostly to fill the gaps left by text movement.
I'm dropping the old syntax documentation as it has the problem of being
quickly outdated by changes and largely unnecessary to people not involved
in creating the language, but using it, which is the whole point of the

These linkages were introduced some time ago, but it was never very
clear what exactly their semantics were or what they should be used
for. Some investigation found these uses:
* utf-16 strings in clang.
* non-unnamed_addr strings produced by the sanitizers.
It turns out they were just working around a more fundamental problem.
For some sections a MachO linker needs a symbol in order to split the
section into atoms, and llvm had no idea that was the case. I fixed
that in r201700 and it is now safe to use the private linkage. When
the object ends up in a section that requires symbols, llvm will use a
'l' prefix instead of a 'L' prefix and things just work.
With that, these linkages were already dead, but there was a potential
future user in the objc metadata information. I am still looking at
CGObjcMac.cpp, but at this point I am convinced that linker_private
and linker_private_weak are not what they need.
The objc uses are currently split in
* Regular symbols (no '\01' prefix). LLVM already directly provides
whatever semantics they need.
* Uses of a private name (start with "\01L" or "\01l") and private
linkage. We can drop the "\01L" and "\01l" prefixes as soon as llvm
agrees with clang on L being ok or not for a given section. I have two
patches in code review for this.
* Uses of private name and weak linkage.
The last case is the one that one could think would fit one of these
linkages. That is not the case. The semantics are
* the linker will merge these symbol by *name*.
* the linker will hide them in the final DSO.
Given that the merging is done by name, any of the private (or
internal) linkages would be a bad match. They allow llvm to rename the
symbols, and that is really not what we want. From the llvm point of
view, these objects should really be (linkonce|weak)(_odr)?.
For now, just keeping the "\01l" prefix is probably the best for these
symbols. If we one day want to have a more direct support in llvm,
IMHO what we should add is not a linkage, it is just a hidden_symbol
attribute. It would be applicable to multiple linkages. For example,
on weak it would produce the current behavior we have for objc
metadata. On internal, it would be equivalent to private (and we
should then remove private).

As an example that was not actually being used, it suffered from a slow bitrot.
The two main issues with it were that it had no cmake support and
included a copy of the autoconf directory. The reality is that
autoconf is not easily composable. The lack of composabilty is why we
have clang options in llvm's configure. Suggesting that users include
a copy of autoconf/ in their projects seems a bad idea.
We are also in the process of switching to cmake, so pushing autoconf
to new project is probably not what we want.

On ELF and COFF an alias is just another name for a position in the file.
There is no way to refer to a position in another file, so an alias to
undefined is meaningless.
MachO currently doesn't support aliases. The spec has a N_INDR, which when
implemented will have a different set of restrictions. Adding support for
it shouldn't be harder than any other IR extension.
For now, having the IR represent what is actually possible with current
tools makes it easier to fix the design of GlobalAlias.

The syntax for "cmpxchg" should now look something like:
cmpxchg i32* %addr, i32 42, i32 3 acquire monotonic
where the second ordering argument gives the required semantics in the case
that no exchange takes place. It should be no stronger than the first ordering
constraint and cannot be either "release" or "acq_rel" (since no store will
have taken place).

The grammar for LLVM IR is not well specified in any document but seems
to obey the following rules:
- Attributes which have parenthesized arguments are never preceded by
commas. This form of attribute is the only one which ever has
optional arguments. However, not all of these attributes support
optional arguments: 'thread_local' supports an optional argument but
'addrspace' does not. Interestingly, 'addrspace' is documented as
being a "qualifier". What constitutes a qualifier? I cannot find a
definition.
- Some attributes use a space between the keyword and the value.
Examples of this form are 'align' and 'section'. These are always
preceded by a comma.
- Otherwise, the attribute has no argument. These attributes do not
have a preceding comma.
Sometimes an attribute goes before the instruction, between the
instruction and it's type, or after it's type. 'atomicrmw' has
'volatile' between the instruction and the type while 'call' has 'tail'
preceding the instruction.
With all this in mind, it seems most consistent for 'inalloca' on an
'inalloca' instruction to occur before between the instruction and the
type. Unlike the current formulation, there would be no preceding
comma. The combination 'alloca inalloca' doesn't look particularly
appetizing, perhaps a better spelling of 'inalloca' is down the road.

The following changes have been applied:
- Removed 'align 4'. We can simplify this away, as it does not provide useful
information in the example.
- Use named instructions instead of '%0'. This is nicer, but more importantly
this makes the IR valid. Before we had two assignments to %0 in a single
example.
- Add a missing branch instruction to make the loop structure clear.
- Move one access into outer.for.body to make it not look that empty.
- The statments that are only in the outer loop body should not reference the
inner loop metadata, but only the outer loop. Only statements in both loops
should reference both surrounding loops.
- Rename the array indexes to make them all independent. Before there were
identical array indexes in the inner and the outer loop. We want to
avoid this special case as it may lead to confusion.

A lot of this is writing down common knowledge and things often
communicated on mailing lists and in discussions. It could live in the
Programmer's Manual alternatively, but that felt slightly less
well-fitting.
It also includes (and was motivated by) the section on the relevant
language standards for LLVM and the specific features that will be
enabled with the switch to C++11.
With this, all of the documentation for the C++11 switch is, I think, in
place. I plan to flip the switch RSN. =]

It claims the document intentionally doesn't give fixed standards for
brace placement or spacing, and then the document goes on to do
precisely that in several places. Instead, try to highlight that even
these rules are simply *guidance* which may be trumped by some other
circumstance or the local conventions of code.
I'm not trying to change the thrust of this part of the document, and if
folks think this does so, I'm happy to re-wordsmith it. I just don't
want it to be so self-contradicting.

documentation is important. =]
Also, garbage collect the majority of the information about broken host
GCC toolchains. These aren't really relevant any more as they're all
older than the minimum requirement. I've left a few notes about
compilers one step older than the current requirement as these compilers
are at least conceivable to use, and it's better to preserve this kind
of hard-won institutional knowledge.
The next step will be some specific docs on how to set up a sufficiently
modern host toolchain if your system doesn't come with one. But that'll

bits of software and to use a modern GCC version.
The Subversion bit was weird anyways -- it has nothing to do with
compiling LLVM. Also, there are many other ways to get at the trunk
source (git, git-svn, etc).
The TeXinfo thing... I have no idea about. But you can get a working
LLVM w/o it pretty easily. If man pages or something are missing, that
hardly seems like a problem. If folks really want this back, let me
know, but it seems mostly like a distraction.
I'd still like to separate this into:
- Required software to compile.
- Optional software to compile.
- Required software for certain *contributor* activities (like
regenerating configure scripts).
Also we need to mention that there are multiple options for build
systems, and the differences.
Also we should mention Windows.
Also probably other stuff I'm forgetting.
I'm wondering if this whole thing needs to be shot in the head and we
should just start a new, simpler getting started that doesn't have so
many years of accumulated stuff that is no longer relevant.

Some highlights:
- I heard there was this Clang compiler that you could use for your

- We no longer have a GCC frontend with weird build restrictions.
- Windows is doing a bit better than partially supported.
- We nuked everything to do with itanium.
- SPUs? Really?
- Xcode 2.5 and gcc 4.0.1 are really not a concern -- they don't work.
- OMG, we actually tried building LLVM on Alpha? Really?
- PowerPC works pretty well these days.
There is still a lot of stuff here I'm pretty dubious about, but I nuked
most of what was actively misleading, out of date, or patently wrong.
Some of it (mingw stuff especially) isn't really lacking, its just that
the comments here were actively wrong. Hopefully folks that know those
platforms can add back correct / modern information.

The original text is very terse, so I've expanded on it.
Specifically, in the original text:
* "The selector value is a positive number if the exception matched a
type info" -- It wasn't clear that this meant "if the exception
matched a 'catch' clause".
* "If nothing is matched, the behavior of the program is
`undefined`_." -- It's actually implementation-defined in C++
rather than undefined, as the new text explains.

Introducing llvm-profdata, a tool for merging profile data generated by
PGO instrumentation in clang.
- The name indicates a file extension of <name>.profdata. Eventually
profile data output by clang should be changed to that extension.
- llvm-profdata merges two profiles. However, the name is more general,
since it will likely pick up more tasks (such as summarizing a single
profile).
- llvm-profdata parses the current text-based format, but will be
updated once we settle on a binary format.

They're called code fragments, but they are really multiline string
literals. Just spotted this usage in a patch by Aaron using "code
fragments" for holding documentation text. I remember someone bemoaning
the lack of multiline string literals in TableGen, so I'm explicitly
documenting that code fragments are multiline string literals.
Let it be known that any use case needing multiline string literals in
TableGen (such as descriptions of options, or whatnot) can use use
code fragments (instead of C-style string concatenation or exceedingly
long lines). E.g.
class Bar<int n>;
class Baz<int n>;
class Doc<string desc> {
string Desc = desc;
}
def Foo : Bar<1>, Baz<3>, Doc<[{
This Foo is a Bar, and also a Baz. It can take 3 values:

This changes the PrologueEpilogInserter and LocalStackSlotAllocation passes to
follow the extended stack layout rules for sspstrong and sspreq.
The sspstrong layout rules are:
1. Large arrays and structures containing large arrays (>= ssp-buffer-size)
are closest to the stack protector.
2. Small arrays and structures containing small arrays (< ssp-buffer-size) are
2nd closest to the protector.
3. Variables that have had their address taken are 3rd closest to the
protector.

Calls with inalloca are lowered by skipping all stores for arguments
passed in memory and the initial stack adjustment to allocate argument
memory.
Now the frontend is responsible for the memory layout, and the backend
doesn't have to do any work. As a result these changes are pretty
minimal.

MSVC always places the 'this' parameter for a method first. The
implicit 'sret' pointer for methods always comes second. We already
implement this for __thiscall by putting sret parameters on the stack,
but __cdecl methods require putting both parameters on the stack in
opposite order.
Using a special calling convention allows frontends to keep the sret
parameter first, which avoids breaking lots of assumptions in LLVM and
Clang.
Fixes PR15768 with the corresponding change in Clang.

coding standards, and instead fix the existing section.
Thanks to Daniel Jasper for pointing out we already had a section
devoted to this topic. Instead of adding sections, just hack on this
section some. Also fix the example in the anonymous namespace section
below it to agree with the new advice.
As a re-cap, this switches the LLVM preferred style to never indent
namespaces. Having two approaches just led to endless (and utterly
pointless) debates about what was "small enough". This wasn't helping
anyone. The no-indent rule is easy to understand and doesn't really make
anything harder to read. Moreover, with tools like clang-format it is
considerably nicer to have simple consistent rules.

(and to mention namespace ending comments). This is based on a quick
discussion on the developer mailing list where there was essentially no
objections to a simple and consistent rule. This should avoid future
debates about whether or not a namespace is "big enough" to indent. It
also matches clang-format's current behavior with LLVM source code which
hasn't really seen any opposition in code reviews that I spot checked.

Summary:
The only current use of this flag is to mark the alloca as dynamic, even
if its in the entry block. The stack adjustment for the alloca can
never be folded into the prologue because the call may clear it and it
has to be allocated at the top of the stack.

This patch adds two new target-independent calling conventions for runtime
calls - PreserveMost and PreserveAll.
The target-specific implementation for X86-64 is defined as following:
- Arguments are passed as for the default C calling convention
- The same applies for the return value(s)
- PreserveMost preserves all GPRs - except R11
- PreserveAll preserves all GPRs and all XMMs/YMMs - except R11

these attributes on templates and inline functions.
Instead of introducing further mixed linkage types to include linkonce and

separate visibility-like specifier:
define available_externally dllimport void @f() {}

Before this patch any program that wanted to know the final symbol name of a
GlobalValue had to link with Target.
This patch implements a compromise solution where the mangler uses DataLayout.
This way, any tool that already links with Target (llc, clang) gets the exact
behavior as before and new IR files can be mangled without linking with Target.
With this patch the mangler is constructed with just a DataLayout and DataLayout
is extended to include the information the Mangler needs.

During the years there have been some attempts at figuring out how to
align byval arguments. A look at the commit log suggests that they
were
* Use the ABI alignment.
* When that was not sufficient for x86-64, I added the 's' specification to
DataLayout.
* When that was not sufficient Evan added the virtual getByValTypeAlignment.
* When even that was not sufficient, we just got the FE to add the alignment
to the byval.
This patch is just a simple cleanup that removes my first attempt at fixing the
problem. I also added an AArch64 implementation of getByValTypeAlignment to
make sure this patch is a nop. I also left the 's' parsing for backward
compatibility.
I will send a short email to llvmdev about the change for anyone maintaining
an out of tree target.

These still have "experimental" status, meaning we don't guarantee
backward compatibility. However, they are already actively used by the
open source WebKit project, and have started to be adopted by other
projects.

The inalloca attribute is designed to support passing C++ objects by
value in the Microsoft C++ ABI. It behaves the same as byval, except
that it always implies that the argument is in memory and that the bytes
are never copied. This attribute allows the caller to take the address
of an outgoing argument's memory and execute arbitrary code to store
into it.
This patch adds basic IR support, docs, and verification. It does not
attempt to implement any lowering or fix any possibly broken transforms.
When this patch lands, a complete description of this feature should
appear at http://llvm.org/docs/InAlloca.html .

In some case, it may be required to build LLVM in C++11 mode, as some the subprojects (like lldb) requires it.
This mimics the autoconf behaviour.
However, given the discussions on the switch to C++11 of the codebase, this behaviour should evolve to default to C++11 with some checks of the compiler capabilities.

This is the first step to fix pr17918.
It extends the .section directive a bit, inspired by what the ELF one looks
like. The problem with using linkonce is that given
.section foo
.linkonce....
.section foo
.linkonce
we would already have switched sections when getting to .linkonce. The cleanest
solution seems to be to add the comdat information in the .section itself.

This is a follow-up to r194589. Aaron pointed out that building

linkonce_odr_auto_hide was in incomplete attempt to implement a way
for the linker to hide symbols that are known to be available in every
TU and whose addresses are not relevant for a particular DSO.
It was redundant in that it all its uses are equivalent to
linkonce_odr+unnamed_addr. Unlike those, it has never been connected
to clang or llvm's optimizers, so it was effectively dead.
Given that nothing produces it, this patch just nukes it
(other than the llvm-c enum value).

part of getting started with LLVM.
The LLVM getting started document is in woeful need of attention. I may
get to some of this, but some random notes for folks interested:
1) We need to separate the getting started steps for folks who are
interested in the core LLVM libs and nothing else, folks interested
in a nifty C++ toolchain and nothing else, and folks interested in
both.
2) We should include documentation for both release archives, svn, and
git in equal portion, and we should document all of the various
repositories of interest: llvm, clang, clang-tools-extra,
compiler-rt, lld, libcxx, test-suite.
3) We should document the CMake build. We should probably document the
CMake build first, and give a fall-back set of docs for the Makefile
build for the use cases where that is still the preferred solution.
This would more closely match the use cases that folks in the open
source community are likely to have, and would remove a point of
discrepancy between Linux, Windows, and Mac instructions.
4) Probably a ton of other modernization stuff that I've not thought of
here.
Anyways, if anyone at all is interested, please help clean up this
document. It is much needed.

This adds a llvm.copysign intrinsic; We already have Libfunc recognition for
copysign (which is turned into the FCOPYSIGN SDAG node). In order to
autovectorize calls to copysign in the loop vectorizer, we need a corresponding
intrinsic as well.
In addition to the expected changes to the language reference, the loop
vectorizer, BasicTTI, and the SDAG builder (the intrinsic is transformed into
an FCOPYSIGN node, just like the function call), this also adds FCOPYSIGN to a
few lists in LegalizeVector{Ops,Types} so that vector copysigns can be
expanded.
In TargetLoweringBase::initActions, I've made the default action for FCOPYSIGN
be Expand for vector types. This seems correct for all in-tree targets, and I
think is the right thing to do because, previously, there was no way to generate
vector-values FCOPYSIGN nodes (and most targets don't specify an action for
vector-typed FCOPYSIGN).

All libm floating-point rounding functions, except for round(), had their own
ISD nodes. Recent PowerPC cores have an instruction for round(), and so here I'm
adding ISD::FROUND so that round() can be custom lowered as well.
For the most part, this is straightforward. I've added an intrinsic
and a matching ISD node just like those for nearbyint() and friends. The
SelectionDAG pattern I've named frnd (because ISD::FP_ROUND has already claimed
fround).
This will be used by the PowerPC backend in a follow-up commit.
