David Greene 9641d06809 Add support for emitting non-temporal stores for DAGs marked
non-temporal.  Fix from r96241 for botched encoding of MOVNTDQ.

Add documentation for !nontemporal metadata.

Add a simpler movnt testcase.

Charles Davis be5557e86b Add a new function attribute, 'alignstack'. It will indicate (when the backends
implement support for it) that the stack should be forcibly realigned in the
prologue (and the process reversed in the epilogue).

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 a381effe72 add the ability for TargetData to return information about legal integer
datatypes on a given CPU.  This is intended to allow instcombine and other
transformations to avoid converting big sequences of operations to an
inconvenient width, and will help clean up after SRoA.  See also "Adding 
legal integer sizes to TargetData" on Feb 1, 2009 on llvmdev, and PR3451.

Comments welcome.

Chris Lattner aa99c94e2a Revert 85678/85680. The decision is to stay with the current form of
indirectbr, thus we don't need "blockaddr(@func, null)".  Eliminate it
for simplicity.

llvm-svn: 85699
2009-11-01 01:27:45 +00:00
Chris Lattner b2c0e243c5 Make blockaddress(@func, null) be valid, and make 'deleting a basic
block with a blockaddress still referring to it' replace the invalid 
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).

Nick Lewycky 84a1eeb7ed Move the integer type out of 'derived' and into 'primitive'. This permits us
to explain that derived types are all composed of other types, which primitive
types aren't. Without moving integer out of derived, this wouldn't be true.

Perform a few trivial cleanups; 'i1' went from a link to #t_primitive to
#t_integer (a holdover from when it was a bool type I suppose).

compatibility for IR producers. Most front-ends won't need to change
immediately.

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.

Nick Lewycky 2abb108f1b Resubmit support for the 'nocapture' attribute.
The problematic part of this patch is that we were out of attribute bits,
requiring some fancy bit hacking to make it fit (by shrinking alignment)
without breaking existing users or the file format.

This change will require users to rebuild llvm-gcc to match llvm.

Nick Lewycky ddffe620e4 Introducing nocapture, a parameter attribute for pointers to indicate that the
callee will not introduce any new aliases of that pointer.

The attributes had all bits allocated already, so I decided to collapse
alignment. Alignment was previously stored as a 16-bit integer from bits 16 to
32 of the attribute, but it was required to be a power of 2. Now it's stored in
log2 encoded form in five bits from 16 to 21. That gives us 11 more bits of
space.

You may have already noticed that you only need four bits to encode a 16-bit
power of two, so why five bits? Because the AsmParser accepted 32-bit
alignments, even though we couldn't store them (they were silently discarded).
Now we can store them in memory, but not in the bitcode.

The bitcode format was already storing these as 64-bit VBR integers. So, the
bitcode format stays the same, keeping the alignment values stored as 16 bit
raw values. There's some hideous code in the reader and writer that deals with
this, waiting to be ripped out the moment we run out of bits again and have to
replace the parameter attributes table encoding.
