As a result, installations of LLVM in non-standard locations
will not require passing custom -ccopt -L flags when building
the binary, nor absolute paths would be embedded in the cma/cmxa
files. Additionally, the executables will not require changes
to LD_LIBRARY_PATH, although CAML_LD_LIBRARY_PATH still
has to be set for ocamlc without -custom.

Split `Metadata` away from the `Value` class hierarchy, as part of
PR21532. Assembly and bitcode changes are in the wings, but this is the
bulk of the change for the IR C++ API.
I have a follow-up patch prepared for `clang`. If this breaks other
sub-projects, I apologize in advance :(. Help me compile it on Darwin
I'll try to fix it. FWIW, the errors should be easy to fix, so it may
be simpler to just fix it yourself.
This breaks the build for all metadata-related code that's out-of-tree.
Rest assured the transition is mechanical and the compiler should catch
almost all of the problems.
Here's a quick guide for updating your code:
- `Metadata` is the root of a class hierarchy with three main classes:
`MDNode`, `MDString`, and `ValueAsMetadata`. It is distinct from
the `Value` class hierarchy. It is typeless -- i.e., instances do
*not* have a `Type`.
- `MDNode`'s operands are all `Metadata *` (instead of `Value *`).
- `TrackingVH<MDNode>` and `WeakVH` referring to metadata can be
replaced with `TrackingMDNodeRef` and `TrackingMDRef`, respectively.
If you're referring solely to resolved `MDNode`s -- post graph
construction -- just use `MDNode*`.
- `MDNode` (and the rest of `Metadata`) have only limited support for
`replaceAllUsesWith()`.
As long as an `MDNode` is pointing at a forward declaration -- the
result of `MDNode::getTemporary()` -- it maintains a side map of its
uses and can RAUW itself. Once the forward declarations are fully
resolved RAUW support is dropped on the ground. This means that
uniquing collisions on changing operands cause nodes to become
"distinct". (This already happened fairly commonly, whenever an
operand went to null.)
If you're constructing complex (non self-reference) `MDNode` cycles,
you need to call `MDNode::resolveCycles()` on each node (or on a
top-level node that somehow references all of the nodes). Also,
don't do that. Metadata cycles (and the RAUW machinery needed to
construct them) are expensive.
- An `MDNode` can only refer to a `Constant` through a bridge called
`ConstantAsMetadata` (one of the subclasses of `ValueAsMetadata`).
As a side effect, accessing an operand of an `MDNode` that is known
to be, e.g., `ConstantInt`, takes three steps: first, cast from
`Metadata` to `ConstantAsMetadata`; second, extract the `Constant`;
third, cast down to `ConstantInt`.
The eventual goal is to introduce `MDInt`/`MDFloat`/etc. and have
metadata schema owners transition away from using `Constant`s when
the type isn't important (and they don't care about referring to
`GlobalValue`s).
In the meantime, I've added transitional API to the `mdconst`
namespace that matches semantics with the old code, in order to
avoid adding the error-prone three-step equivalent to every call
site. If your old code was:
MDNode *N = foo();
bar(isa <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(0)));
baz(cast <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(1)));
bak(cast_or_null <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(2)));
bat(dyn_cast <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(3)));
bay(dyn_cast_or_null<ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(4)));
you can trivially match its semantics with:
MDNode *N = foo();
bar(mdconst::hasa <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(0)));
baz(mdconst::extract <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(1)));
bak(mdconst::extract_or_null <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(2)));
bat(mdconst::dyn_extract <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(3)));
bay(mdconst::dyn_extract_or_null<ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(4)));
and when you transition your metadata schema to `MDInt`:
MDNode *N = foo();
bar(isa <MDInt>(N->getOperand(0)));
baz(cast <MDInt>(N->getOperand(1)));
bak(cast_or_null <MDInt>(N->getOperand(2)));
bat(dyn_cast <MDInt>(N->getOperand(3)));
bay(dyn_cast_or_null<MDInt>(N->getOperand(4)));
- A `CallInst` -- specifically, intrinsic instructions -- can refer to
metadata through a bridge called `MetadataAsValue`. This is a
subclass of `Value` where `getType()->isMetadataTy()`.
`MetadataAsValue` is the *only* class that can legally refer to a
`LocalAsMetadata`, which is a bridged form of non-`Constant` values
like `Argument` and `Instruction`. It can also refer to any other
`Metadata` subclass.
(I'll break all your testcases in a follow-up commit, when I propagate
this change to assembly.)

Bindings built out-of-tree, e.g. via OPAM, should append
a line to META.llvm like the following:
linkopts = "-cclib -L$libdir -cclib -Wl,-rpath,$libdir"
where $libdir is the lib/ directory where LLVM libraries are

Since JIT->MCJIT migration, most of the ExecutionEngine interface
became deprecated and/or broken. This especially affected the OCaml
bindings, as runFunction is no longer available, and unlike in C,
it is not possible to coerce a pointer to a function and call it
in OCaml.
In practice, LLVM 3.5 shipped completely unusable
Llvm_executionengine.
The GenericValue interface and runFunction were essentially
a poor man's FFI. As such, this interface was removed and instead
a dependency on ctypes >=0.3 added, which handled platform-specific
aspects of accessing data and calling functions.
The new interface does not expose JIT (which is a shim around MCJIT),
as well as the interpreter (which can't handle a lot of valid IR).
Llvm_executionengine.add_global_mapping is currently unusable
due to PR20656.
llvm-svn: 220957
This commit updates the OCaml bindings and tests to use ocamlfind.
The bindings are migrated in order to use ctypes, which are now
required for MCJIT-backed Llvm_executionengine.
The tests are migrated in order to use OUnit and to verify that
the distributed META.llvm allows to build working executables.
Every OCaml toolchain invocation is now chained through ocamlfind,
which (in theory) allows to cross-compile the OCaml bindings.
The configure script now checks for ctypes (>= 0.2.3) and
OUnit (>= 2). The code depending on these libraries will be added
later. The configure script does not check the package versions
in order to keep changes less invasive.
Additionally, OCaml bindings will now be automatically enabled
if ocamlfind is detected on the system, rather than ocamlc, as it
was before.

In practice this means:
* Always using -g flag.
* Embedding -cclib -lstdc++ into the corresponding cma/cmxa file.
This also moves -lstdc++ in a single place.
* Using caml_named_value instead of a homegrown mechanism.

First, return true on success, as it is the OCaml convention.
Second, also initialize the native assembly printer, which is,
despite the name, required for MCJIT operation.
Since this function did not initialize the assembly printer earlier
and no function to initialize native assembly printer was available
elsewhere, it is safe to break its interface: it means that it
simply could not be used successfully before.

The returnvalue was handled as c_char_p which ment that ctypes
handled it as a NUL-terminated string making it cut the contents
at first NUL (or even worse - overrunning the buffer if it doesn't
contain a NUL).

We normally don't drop functions from the C API's, but in this case I think we
can:
* The old implementation of getFileOffset was fairly broken
* The introduction of LLVMGetSymbolFileOffset was itself a C api breaking
change as it removed LLVMGetSymbolOffset.
* It is an incredibly specialized use case. The only reason MCJIT needs it is
because of its odd position of being a dynamic linker of .o files.

This commit embeds a set of linker flags with hardcoded paths to
the LLVM shared library on --enable-shared builds into .cmxa files
and stub dynamic libraries. This solution closely follows existing
rules for rpath in the LLVM tools, which had to be modified because
of differences in toolchain.
Without this patch, OCaml tests as well as opam bindings broke,
as neither of those updates LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include
the $prefix/lib directory.

As the "LLVMInitializeAll*" functions are not available as symbols in
the shared library they can't be used, and as a workaround a list of
the targets is kept and the individual symbols tried. As soon as the
"All"-functions are changed to proper symbols (as opposed to static
inlines in the headers) this hack will be replace with simple calls
to the corresponding "LLVMInitializeAll*" functions.

This allows to only link in the needed targets, reducing binary
size and more importantly link time.
Note that this is an incomplete implementation: currently,
LLVM does not have the plumbing which would allow to conditionally

which support them. This should be improved in the future.
