<p>This document describes the LLVM bytecode file format. It specifies

|
the binary encoding rules of the bytecode file format so that

equivalent systems can encode bytecode files correctly. The LLVM
|
|
bytecode representation is used to store the intermediate
|
|
representation on disk in compacted form.</p>
|
|
<p>The LLVM bytecode format may change in the future, but LLVM will
|
|
always be backwards compatible with older formats. This document will
|

only describe the most current version of the bytecode format. See <a

|
|
<p>LLVM bytecode files consist simply of a sequence of blocks of bytes
|
|
using a binary encoding Each block begins with an header of two
|
|
unsigned integers. The first value identifies the type of block and the
|
|
second value provides the size of the block in bytes. The block
|
|
identifier is used because it is possible for entire blocks to be
|
|
omitted from the file if they are empty. The block identifier helps the
|
|
reader determine which kind of block is next in the file. Note that
|
|
blocks can be nested within other blocks.</p>
|
|
<p> All blocks are variable length, and the block header specifies the
|
|
size of the block. All blocks begin on a byte index that is aligned to
|
|
an even 32-bit boundary. That is, the first block is 32-bit aligned
|
|
because it starts at offset 0. Each block is padded with zero fill
|
|
bytes to ensure that the next block also starts on a 32-bit boundary.</p>

|
|
<p>LLVM Bytecode blocks often contain lists of things of a similar
|
|
type. For example, a function contains a list of instructions and a
|
|
function type contains a list of argument types. There are two basic
|
|
types of lists: length lists (<a href="#llist">llist</a>), and null
|
|
terminated lists (<a href="#zlist">zlist</a>), as described below in
|

<div class="doc_subsection"><a name="fields">Fields</a> </div>
|
|
<div class="doc_text">
|
|
<p>Fields are units of information that LLVM knows how to write atomically. Most
|
|
fields have a uniform length or some kind of length indication built into their
|
|
encoding. For example, a constant string (array of bytes) is written simply as
|
|
the length followed by the characters. Although this is similar to a list,
|
|
constant strings are treated atomically and are thus fields.</p>
|
|
<p>Fields use a condensed bit format specific to the type of information
|
|
they must contain. As few bits as possible are written for each field. The
|
|
sections that follow will provide the details on how these fields are
|
|
written and how the bits are to be interpreted.</p>

|

<p>To support cross-platform differences, the bytecode file is aligned on
|

certain boundaries. This means that a small amount of padding (at most 3

bytes) will be added to ensure that the next entry is aligned to a 32-bit

</div>
|
|
<div class="doc_text">
|
|
<p>Most of the values written to LLVM bytecode files are small integers. To
|
|
minimize the number of bytes written for these quantities, an encoding scheme
|
|
similar to UTF-8 is used to write integer data. The scheme is known as
|
|
variable bit rate (vbr) encoding. In this encoding, the high bit of
|
|
each byte is used to indicate if more bytes follow. If (byte &
|
|
0x80) is non-zero in any given byte, it means there is another byte
|
|
immediately following that also contributes to the value. For the final
|
|
byte (byte & 0x80) is false (the high bit is not set). In each byte
|
|
only the low seven bits contribute to the value. Consequently 32-bit
|
|
quantities can take from one to <em>five</em> bytes to encode. In
|
|
general, smaller quantities will encode in fewer bytes, as follows:</p>

the maximum quantity to use this encoding is a 64-bit integer.</p>

<p><em>Signed</em> VBR values are encoded with the standard vbr

encoding, but with the sign bit as the low order bit instead of the

high order bit. This allows small negative quantities to be encoded

<div class="doc_subsection"><a name="slots">Slots</a> </div>
|
|
<div class="doc_text">
|
|
<p>The bytecode format uses the notion of a "slot" to reference Types
|
|
and Values. Since the bytecode file is a <em>direct</em> representation of
|
|
LLVM's intermediate representation, there is a need to represent pointers in
|
|
the file. Slots are used for this purpose. For example, if one has the following
|
|
assembly:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<div class="doc_code"><code> %MyType = type { int, sbyte }<br>
|
|
%MyVar = external global %MyType
|
|
</code></div>
|
|
<p>there are two definitions. The definition of <tt>%MyVar</tt> uses <tt>%MyType</tt>.
|
|
In the C++ IR this linkage between <tt>%MyVar</tt> and <tt>%MyType</tt>
|
|
is explicit through the use of C++ pointers. In bytecode, however, there's no
|
|
ability to store memory addresses. Instead, we compute and write out
|
|
slot numbers for every Type and Value written to the file.</p>
|
|
<p>A slot number is simply an unsigned 32-bit integer encoded in the variable
|
|
bit rate scheme (see <a href="#encoding">encoding</a>). This ensures that
|
|
low slot numbers are encoded in one byte. Through various bits of magic LLVM
|
|
attempts to always keep the slot numbers low. The first attempt is to associate
|
|
slot numbers with their "type plane". That is, Values of the same type
|
|
are written to the bytecode file in a list (sequentially). Their order in
|
|
that list determines their slot number. This means that slot #1 doesn't mean
|
|
anything unless you also specify for which type you want slot #1. Types are
|
|
always written to the file first (in the <a href="#globaltypes">Global Type
|
|
Pool</a>) and in such a way that both forward and backward references of the
|
|
types can often be resolved with a single pass through the type pool. </p>
|
|
<p>Slot numbers are also kept small by rearranging their order. Because
|
|
of the structure of LLVM, certain values are much more likely to be used
|
|
frequently in the body of a function. For this reason, a compaction table is
|
|
provided in the body of a function if its use would make the function body
|
|
smaller. Suppose you have a function body that uses just the types "int*" and
|
|
"{double}" but uses them thousands of time. Its worthwhile to ensure that the
|
|
slot number for these types are low so they can be encoded in a single byte
|
|
(via vbr). This is exactly what the compaction table does.</p>
|
|
<p>In summary then, a slot number can be though of as just a vbr encoded index
|
|
into a list of Type* or Value*. To keep slot numbers low, Value* are indexed by
|
|
two slot numbers: the "type plane index" (type slot) and the "value index"
|
|
(value slot).</p>

<p>This section provides the general structure of the LLVM bytecode
|
|
file format. The bytecode file format requires blocks to be in a
|
|
certain order and nested in a particular way so that an LLVM module can
|
|
be constructed efficiently from the contents of the file. This ordering
|
|
defines a general structure for bytecode files as shown below. The
|
|
table below shows the order in which all block types may appear. Please
|
|
note that some of the blocks are optional and some may be repeated. The
|
|
structure is fairly loose because optional blocks, if empty, are
|
|
completely omitted from the file.</p>

<p>In other words, the uncompressed signature is just the characters 'llvm'
|
|
while the compressed signature is the characters 'llvc' followed by an ascii
|
|
digit ('0', '1', or '2') that indicates the kind of compression used. A value of
|
|
'0' indicates that null compression was used. This can happen when compression
|
|
was requested on a platform that wasn't configured for gzip or bzip2. A value of
|
|
'1' means that the rest of the file is compressed using the gzip algorithm and
|
|
should be uncompressed before interpretation. A value of '2' means that the rest
|
|
of the file is compressed using the bzip2 algorithm and should be uncompressed
|
|
before interpretation. In all cases, the data resulting from uncompression
|
|
should be interpreted as if it occurred immediately after the 'llvm'
|
|
signature (i.e. the uncompressed data begins with the
|
|
<a href="#module">Module Block</a></p>
|
|
<p><b>NOTE:</b> As of LLVM 1.4, all bytecode files produced by the LLVM tools
|
|
are compressed by default. To disable compression, pass the
|
|
<tt>--disable-compression</tt> option to the tool, if it supports it.

<p>The block header for the module block uses a longer format than the other

blocks in a bytecode file. Specifically, instead of encoding the type and size

|
|
the module block header uses two 32-bit unsigned values, one for type, and one

for size. While the 2<sup>27</sup> byte limit on block size is sufficient for the blocks

contained in the module, it isn't sufficient for the module block itself

because we want to ensure that bytecode files as large as 2<sup>32</sup> bytes

are possible. For this reason, the module block (and only the module block)

|
<p>Compaction tables are part of a function definition. They are merely
|
|
a device for reducing the size of bytecode files. The size of a
|
|
bytecode file is dependent on the <em>values</em> of the slot numbers
|
|
used because larger values use more bytes in the variable bit rate
|
|
encoding scheme. Furthermore, the compressed instruction format
|
|
reserves only six bits for the type of the instruction. In large
|
|
modules, declaring hundreds or thousands of types, the values of the
|
|
slot numbers can be quite large. However, functions may use only a
|
|
small fraction of the global types. In such cases a compaction table is
|
|
created that maps the global type and value slot numbers to smaller
|
|
values used by a function. Functions will contain either a
|
|
function-specific constant pool <em>or</em> a compaction table but not
|
|
both. Compaction tables have the format shown in the table below.</p>

These aren't really opcodes from an LLVM language perspective. They encode
|
|
information into other opcodes without reserving space for that information.
|
|
For example, opcode=63 is a Volatile Store. The opcode for this
|
|
instruction is 25 (Store) but we encode it as 63 to indicate that is a Volatile
|
|
Store. The same is done for the calling conventions and tail calls.
|
|
In each of these entries in range 56-63, the opcode is documented as the base
|
|
opcode (Invoke, Call, Store) plus some set of modifiers, as follows:</p>
|
|
<dl>
|
|
<dt>CC</dt>
|
|
<dd>This means an arbitrary calling convention is specified
|
|
in a VBR that follows the opcode. This is used when the instruction cannot
|
|
be encoded with one of the more compact forms.
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt>FastCC</dt>
|
|
<dd>This indicates that the Call or Invoke is using the FastCC calling
|
|
convention.</dd>
|
|
<dt>CCC</dt>
|
|
<dd>This indicates that the Call or Invoke is using the native "C" calling
|
|
convention.</dd>
|
|
<dt>TailCall</dt>
|
|
<dd>This indicates that the Call has the 'tail' modifier.</dd>

<p>
|
|
Based on the instruction opcode and type, the bytecode format implicitly (to
|
|
save space) specifies the interpretation of the operand list. For most
|
|
instructions, the type of each operand is implicit from the type of the
|
|
instruction itself (e.g. the type of operands of a binary operator must match
|
|
the type of the instruction). As such, the bytecode format generally only
|
|
encodes the value number of the operand, not the type.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>In some cases, however, this is not sufficient. This section enumerates
|
|
those cases:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>getelementptr: the slot numbers for sequential type indexes are shifted up
|
|
two bits. This allows the low order bits will encode the type of index used,
|
|
as follows: 0=uint, 1=int, 2=ulong, 3=long.</li>
|
|
<li>cast: the result type number is encoded as the second operand.</li>
|
|
<li>alloca/malloc: If the allocation has an explicit alignment, the log2 of the
|
|
alignment is encoded as the second operand.</li>
|
|
<li>call: If the tail marker and calling convention cannot be <a
|
|
href="#pi_note">encoded into the opcode</a> of the call, it is passed as an
|
|
additional operand. The low bit of the operand is a flag indicating whether
|
|
the call is a tail call. The rest of the bits contain the calling
|
|
convention number (shifted left by one bit).</li>

<div class="doc_text">
|
|
<p>In version 1.3, certain data items were aligned to 32-bit boundaries. In
|
|
version 1.4, alignment of data was done away with completely. The need for
|
|
alignment has gone away and the only thing it adds is bytecode file size
|
|
overhead. In most cases this overhead was small. However, in functions with
|
|
large numbers of format 0 instructions (GEPs and PHIs with lots of parameters)
|
|
or regular instructions with large valued operands (e.g. because there's just
|
|
a lot of instructions in the function) the overhead can be extreme. In one
|
|
test case, the overhead was 44,000 bytes (34% of the total file size).
|
|
Consequently in release 1.4, the decision was made to eliminate alignment
|
|
altogether.</p>
|
|
<p>In version 1.3 format, the following bytecode constructs were aligned (i.e.
|
|
they were followed by one to three bytes of padding):</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>All blocks.</li>
|
|
<li>Instructions using the long format (format 0).</li>
|
|
<li>All call instructions that called a var args function.</li>
|
|
<li>The target triple (a string field at the end of the module block).</li>
|
|
<li>The version field (immediately following the signature).</li>
|
|
</ul>

<p>None of these constructs are aligned in version 1.4</p>

<div class="doc_subsubsection">Type Derives From Value</div>
|
|
<div class="doc_text">
|
|
<p>In version 1.2, the Type class in the LLVM IR derives from the Value
|
|
class. This is not the case in version 1.3. Consequently, in version
|
|
1.2 the notion of a "Type Type" was used to write out values that were
|
|
Types. The types always occuped plane 12 (corresponding to the
|
|
TypeTyID) of any type planed set of values. In 1.3 this representation
|
|
is not convenient because the TypeTyID (12) is not present and its
|
|
value is now used for LabelTyID. Consequently, the data structures
|
|
written that involve types do so by writing all the types first and
|
|
then each of the value planes according to those types. In version 1.2,
|
|
the types would have been written intermingled with the values.</p>

<div class="doc_subsubsection">Restricted getelementptr Types</div>
|
|
<div class="doc_text">
|
|
<p>In version 1.2, the getelementptr instruction required a ubyte type
|
|
index for accessing a structure field and a long type index for
|
|
accessing an array element. Consequently, it was only possible to
|
|
access structures of 255 or fewer elements. Starting in version 1.3,
|
|
this restriction was lifted. Structures must now be indexed with uint
|
|
constants. Arrays may now be indexed with int, uint, long, or ulong
|
|
typed values. The consequence of this was that the bytecode format had
|
|
to change in order to accommodate the larger range of structure indices.</p>

<div class="doc_subsubsection">Short Block Headers</div>
|

<div class="doc_text">
|
|
<p>In version 1.2, block headers were always 8 bytes being comprised of
|
|
both an unsigned integer type and an unsigned integer size. For very
|
|
small modules, these block headers turn out to be a large fraction of
|
|
the total bytecode file size. In an attempt to make these small files
|
|
smaller, the type and size information was encoded into a single
|
|
unsigned integer (4 bytes) comprised of 5 bits for the block type
|
|
(maximum 31 block types) and 27 bits for the block size (max
|
|
~134MBytes). These limits seemed sufficient for any blocks or sizes
|
|
forseen in the future. Note that the module block, which encloses all
|
|
the other blocks is still written as 8 bytes since bytecode files
|
|
larger than 134MBytes might be possible.</p>

triple or dependent. These fields have been added to the end of the <a

|
|
fields is to allow a front end compiler to specifiy that the generated
|
|
module is specific to a particular target triple (operating
|
|
system/manufacturer/processor) which makes it non-portable; and to

allow front end compilers to specify the list of libraries that the

definition. 24-bits for type slot numbers is deemed sufficient for any

practical use of LLVM.</p>
