feature, either build the JIT in debug mode to enable it by default or pass
-jit-emit-debug to lli.
Right now, the only debug information that this communicates to GDB is call
frame information, since it's already being generated to support exceptions in
the JIT. Eventually, when DWARF generation isn't tied so tightly to AsmPrinter,
it will be easy to push that information to GDB through this interface.
Here's a step-by-step breakdown of how the feature works:
- The JIT generates the machine code and DWARF call frame info
(.eh_frame/.debug_frame) for a function into memory.
- The JIT copies that info into an in-memory ELF file with a symbol for the
function.
- The JIT creates a code entry pointing to the ELF buffer and adds it to a
linked list hanging off of a global descriptor at a special symbol that GDB
knows about.
- The JIT calls a function marked noinline that GDB knows about and has put an
internal breakpoint in.
- GDB catches the breakpoint and reads the global descriptor to look for new
code.
- When sees there is new code, it reads the ELF from the inferior's memory and
adds it to itself as an object file.
- The JIT continues, and the next time we stop the program, we are able to
produce a proper backtrace.
Consider running the following program through the JIT:
#include <stdio.h>
void baz(short z) {
long w = z + 1;
printf("%d, %x\n", w, *((int*)NULL)); // SEGFAULT here
}
void bar(short y) {
int z = y + 1;
baz(z);
}
void foo(char x) {
short y = x + 1;
bar(y);
}
int main(int argc, char** argv) {
char x = 1;
foo(x);
}
Here is a backtrace before this patch:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

desired triplet is a sub-target, e.g. thumbv7 vs. arm host). Reverting the
patch isn't quite right either since the previous behavior does not allow the
triplet to be overridden with -march.

This fixes potential spurious (though probably otherwise
harmless) poising of unused memory, and fixes the
associated valgrind error.

bytes. libgcc doesn't seem to mind, but if you pass this DWARF to GDB, it
doesn't like it.
Also make the JIT memory manager to initialize it's memory to garbage in debug
mode, so that it's easier to find bugs like these in the future.

and short. Well, it's kinda short. Definitely nasty and brutish.
The front-end generates the register/unregister calls into the SjLj runtime,
call-site indices and landing pad dispatch. The back end fills in the LSDA
with the call-site information provided by the front end. Catch blocks are
not yet implemented.

http://llvm.org/viewvc/llvm-project?view=rev&revision=78127, I'm changing the
ExecutionEngine's global mappings to hold AssertingVH<const GlobalValue>. That
way, if unregistering a mapping fails to actually unregister it, we'll get an
assert. Running the jit nightly tests didn't uncover any actual instances of
the problem.
This also uncovered the fact that AssertingVH<const X> didn't work, so I fixed
that too.

This is not just a matter of passing in the target triple from the module;
currently backends are making decisions based on the build and host
architecture. The goal is to migrate to making these decisions based off of the
triple (in conjunction with the feature string). Thus most clients pass in the
target triple, or the host triple if that is empty.
This has one important change in the way behavior of the JIT and llc.
For the JIT, it was previously selecting the Target based on the host
(naturally), but it was setting the target machine features based on the triple
from the module. Now it is setting the target machine features based on the
triple of the host.
For LLC, -march was previously only used to select the target, the target
machine features were initialized from the module's triple (which may have been
empty). Now the target triple is taken from the module, or the host's triple is
used if that is empty. Then the triple is adjusted to match -march.
The take away is that -march for llc is now used in conjunction with the host
triple to initialize the subtarget. If users want more deterministic behavior
from llc, they should use -mtriple, or set the triple in the input module.

there is no new block added to the free list. Therefore on the next
startFunctionBody call, a new slab must be allocated.

- Instead of requiring targets to define a JIT quality match function, we just
have them specify if they support a JIT.
- Target selection for the JIT just gets the host triple and looks for the best
target which matches the triple and has a JIT.

- Some clients which used DOUT have moved to DEBUG. We are deprecating the
"magic" DOUT behavior which avoided calling printing functions when the
statement was disabled. In addition to being unnecessary magic, it had the
downside of leaving code in -Asserts builds, and of hiding potentially
unnecessary computations.

out of memory, and also make the default memory manager allocate more memory
when it runs out.
Also, switch function stubs and global data over to using the BumpPtrAllocator.
This makes it so the JIT no longer mmaps (or the equivalent on Windows) 16 MB
of memory, and instead allocates in 512K slabs. I suspect this size could go
lower, especially on embedded platforms, now that more slabs can be allocated.
