Nadav Rotem 502f1b943f Enable support for vector sext and trunc:
Limit the folding of any_ext and sext  into the load operation to scalars.
Limit the active-bits trunc optimization to scalars.
Document vector trunc and vector sext in LangRef.

Similar to commit 126080 (for enabling zext).

Nadav Rotem 25f2ac948b Fix 9267; Add vector zext support.
The DAGCombiner folds the zext into complex load instructions. This patch
prevents this optimization on vectors since none of the supported targets
knows how to perform load+vector_zext in one instruction.

Rafael Espindola f1ed781aea Add a clarification about merging constants with and without unnamed_addr.
llvm-svn: 123530
2011-01-15 08:20:57 +00:00
Rafael Espindola 45e6c195d7 First step in fixing PR8927:
Add a unnamed_addr bit to global variables and functions. This will be used
to indicate that the address is not significant and therefore the constant
or function can be merged with others.

If an optimization pass can show that an address is not used, it can set this.

Examples of things that can have this set by the FE are globals created to
hold string literals and C++ constructors.

Adding unnamed_addr to a non-const global should have no effect unless
an optimization can transform that global into a constant.

Aliases are not allowed to have unnamed_addr since I couldn't figure
out any use for it.

Chris Lattner 79ffdc7581 With the newly simplified SourceMgr interfaces and the generalized
SrcMgrDiagHandler, we can improve clang diagnostics for inline asm:
instead of reporting them on a source line of the original line,
we can report it on the correct line wherever the string literal came
from. For something like this:

void foo() {
  asm("push %rax\n"
      ".code32\n");
}

we used to get this: (note that the line in t.c isn't helpful)

t.c:4:7: error: warning: ignoring directive for now
  asm("push %rax\n"
      ^
<inline asm>:2:1: note: instantiated into assembly here
.code32
^

now we get:

t.c:5:8: error: warning: ignoring directive for now
      ".code32\n"
       ^
<inline asm>:2:1: note: instantiated into assembly here
.code32
^

Note that we're pointing to line 5 properly now.

Bill Wendling 578ee4070c Create the new linker type "linker_private_weak_def_auto".
It's similar to "linker_private_weak", but it's known that the address of the
object is not taken. For instance, functions that had an inline definition, but
the compiler decided not to inline it. Note, unlike linker_private and
linker_private_weak, linker_private_weak_def_auto may have only default
visibility.  The symbols are removed by the linker from the final linked image
(executable or dynamic library).

2010-07-02 23:18:08 +00:00
Dan Gohman df12d08b8e Reword the definition of the noalias attribute. The intention is for
the noalias argument on function attributes be usable to model the
C99 restrict keyword on arguments, and to allow AliasAnalysis to
consider a noalias-attributed argument to be an "identified object".

To support this, refactor a new "based on" concept out of the current
pointer aliasing "associated" concept. This "based on" concept is very
similar to (though it is not identical with) the "based on" concept
in C99.

Also, reword the definition of NoAlias to more closely describe the
concept that the optimizer uses.

Bill Wendling 03bcd6ecc8 Implement the "linker_private_weak" linkage type. This will be used for
Objective-C metadata types which should be marked as "weak", but which the
linker will remove upon final linkage. However, this linkage isn't specific to
Objective-C.

For example, the "objc_msgSend_fixup_alloc" symbol is defined like this:

      .globl l_objc_msgSend_fixup_alloc
      .weak_definition l_objc_msgSend_fixup_alloc
      .section __DATA, __objc_msgrefs, coalesced
      .align 3
l_objc_msgSend_fixup_alloc:
       .quad   _objc_msgSend_fixup
       .quad   L_OBJC_METH_VAR_NAME_1

This is different from the "linker_private" linkage type, because it can't have
the metadata defined with ".weak_definition".

Currently only supported on Darwin platforms.

mike-m e08af303a6 Overhauled llvm/clang docs builds. Closes PR6613.
NOTE: 2nd part changeset for cfe trunk to follow.

*** PRE-PATCH ISSUES ADDRESSED

- clang api docs fail build from objdir
- clang/llvm api docs collide in install PREFIX/
- clang/llvm main docs collide in install
- clang/llvm main docs have full of hard coded destination
  assumptions and make use of absolute root in static html files;
  namely CommandGuide tools hard codes a website destination
  for cross references and some html cross references assume
  website root paths

*** IMPROVEMENTS

- bumped Doxygen from 1.4.x -> 1.6.3
- splits llvm/clang docs into 'main' and 'api' (doxygen) build trees
- provide consistent, reliable doc builds for both main+api docs
- support buid vs. install vs. website intentions
- support objdir builds
- document targets with 'make help'
- correct clean and uninstall operations
- use recursive dir delete only where absolutely necessary
- added call function fn.RMRF which safeguards against botched 'rm -rf';
  if any target (or any variable is evaluated) which attempts
  to remove any dirs which match a hard-coded 'safelist', a verbose
  error will be printed and make will error-stop.

Dan Gohman ffc9a6b4ac Add an initial description of a new concept: trap values, and change
the definition of the nsw and nuw flags to make use of it.

nsw was introduced to help optimizers answer yes to the following:

  // Can we change i from i32 to i64 to eliminate the cast inside the loop?
  for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i) A[i] *= 0.1;

  // Can we assume that this loop will eventually terminate?
  for (int i = 0; i <= n; ++i) A[i] *= 0.1;

In its current form, it isn't truly sufficient for either.

In the first case, if the increment overflows, it'll still have some
valid i32 value; sign-extending it will produce a value which is 33
homogeneous sign bits trailed by 31 independent undef bits. If i is
promoted to i64, it won't have those same values when it reaches that
point. (The compiler could recover here by reasoning about how i is
used by the load, but that's a lot more complicated and isn't always
possible.)

In the second case, there is no value for i which will be greater than
n, so having the increment return undef on overflow doesn't help.

Trap values are a formalization of some existing concepts that we have
about LLVM IR, and give the optimizers a better basis for answering yes
to both questions above.

Jakob Stoklund Olesen 74bb06c0f0 Reintroduce the InlineHint function attribute.
This time it's for real! I am going to hook this up in the frontends as well.

The inliner has some experimental heuristics for dealing with the inline hint.
When given a -respect-inlinehint option, functions marked with the inline
keyword are given a threshold just above the default for -O3.

We need some experiments to determine if that is the right thing to do.

Chris Lattner aa99c94e2a Revert 85678/85680. The decision is to stay with the current form of

blockaddress with a new blockaddress(@func, null) instead of a 
inttoptr(1).

This changes the bitcode encoding format, and still needs codegen 
support (this should produce a non-zero value, referring to the entry
block of the function would also be quite reasonable).

Chris Lattner 184f1be4a8 Add a new "available_externally" linkage type. This is intended
to support C99 inline, GNU extern inline, etc.  Related bugzilla's
include PR3517, PR3100, & PR2933.  Nothing uses this yet, but it
appears to work.

Nick Lewycky 49f891958f Add support for embedded metadata to LLVM. This introduces two new types of
Constant, MDString and MDNode which can only be used by globals with a name
that starts with "llvm." or as arguments to a function with the same naming
restriction.

Duncan Sands 4581bebf2a It makes no sense to have a ODR version of common
linkage, so remove it.

Duncan Sands e2881053c9 Remove the one-definition-rule version of extern_weak
linkage: this linkage type only applies to declarations,
but ODR is only relevant to globals with definitions.

Duncan Sands 12da8ce3d2 Introduce new linkage types linkonce_odr, weak_odr, common_odr
and extern_weak_odr.  These are the same as the non-odr versions,
except that they indicate that the global will only be overridden
by an *equivalent* global.  In C, a function with weak linkage can
be overridden by a function which behaves completely differently.
This means that IP passes have to skip weak functions, since any
deductions made from the function definition might be wrong, since
the definition could be replaced by something completely different
at link time.   This is not allowed in C++, thanks to the ODR
(One-Definition-Rule): if a function is replaced by another at
link-time, then the new function must be the same as the original
function.  If a language knows that a function or other global can
only be overridden by an equivalent global, it can give it the
weak_odr linkage type, and the optimizers will understand that it
is alright to make deductions based on the function body.  The
code generators on the other hand map weak and weak_odr linkage
to the same thing.
