This chapter discusses IR optimizations, the ORC IRTransformLayer, and the ORC
layer concept itself.
The text is still pretty rough, but I think the main ideas are there. Feedback
is very welcome, as always.

and/or tests aren't working on Windows currently.
There seems to be some problem with quoting the file paths. I don't
understand the test structure here or the code well enough to try to
come up with a way to correctly handle paths with back slashes in them,
and this has caused the Windows builds to be failing for 7 hours now, so
I'm reverting the whole thing to bring them back to life. Sorry for the
disruption, but a couple of these were bug fixes anyways that can be
folded into a fresh commit.
Reverts the following patches:
r271756: Clean up the way we create the input filenames buffer (NFC)
r271748: Fix use-after-free from discarded MemoryBuffer (NFC)
r271710: Fix option description (NFC)
r271709: Add option to ingest filepaths from a file
llvm-svn: 271760
The new option makes it possible to build external projects as part of
the llvm build without copying (or symlinking) then into llvm/tool with
specifying a few additional cmake variables.
Example usage (2 additional project called foo and bar):
-DLLVM_EXTERNAL_PROJECTS="Foo;Bar"
-DLLVM_EXTERNAL_FOO_SOURCE_DIR=/src/foo
-DLLVM_EXTERNAL_BAR_SOURCE_DIR=/src/bar
Note: This is the extension of the approach we already support for
clang/lldb/poly with adding an option to specify additional supported
projects.

Summary:
It isn't clear what is the operational meaning of loading or storing an
unsized types, since it cannot be lowered into something meaningful.
Since there does not seem to be any practical need for it either, make
such loads and stores illegal IR.

This tidies up some code that was manually constructing RuntimeDyld::SymbolInfo
instances from JITSymbols. It will save more mess in the future when
JITSymbol::getAddress is extended to return an Expected<TargetAddress> rather
than just a TargetAddress, since we'll be able to embed the error checking in
the conversion.

This patch adds an IR, assembly and bitcode representation for metadata
attachments for globals. Future patches will port existing features to use
these new attachments.

* Various tidy-up and streamlining of existing discussion.
* Describes findSymbol and removeModule.
Chapter 1 is now rough but essentially complete in terms of content.
Feedback, patches etc. very welcome.

Summary: * docs/WritingAnLLVMBackend.rst: Makefiles are no longer used. The users should use CMakeLists.txt. In order to add the target, the TARGETS_TO_BUILD is replaced with LLVM_ALL_TARGETS.

The memory location that corresponds to a volatile operation is very
special. They are observed by the machine in ways which we cannot
reason about.

This is a work in progress - the chapter text is incomplete, though
the example code compiles and runs.
Feedback and patches are, as usual, most welcome.

Summary: This needs to get in before anything is released concerning attribute. If the old name gets in the wild, then we are stuck with it forever. Putting it in its own diff should getting that part at least in fast.

In practice only a few well known appending linkage variables work.
Currently if codegen sees an unknown appending linkage variable it will
just print it as a regular global. That is wrong as the symbol in the
produced object file has different semantics as the one provided by the
appending linkage.
This just errors early instead of producing a broken .o.
llvm-svn: 269706
This new verifier rule lets us unambigously pick a calling convention
when creating a new declaration for
`@llvm.experimental.deoptimize.<ty>`. It is also congruent with our
lowering strategy -- since all calls to `@llvm.experimental.deoptimize`
are lowered to calls to `__llvm_deoptimize`, it is reasonable to enforce
a unique calling convention.
Some of the tests that were breaking this verifier rule have had to be
split up into different .ll files.
The inliner was violating this rule as well, and has been fixed to avoid
producing invalid IR.

An oddity of the .ll syntax is that the "@var = " in
@var = global i32 42
is optional. Writing just
global i32 42
is equivalent to
@0 = global i32 42
This means that there is a pretty big First set at the top level. The
current implementation maintains it manually. I was trying to refactor
it, but then started wondering why keep it a all. I personally find the
above syntax confusing. It looks like something is missing.
This patch removes the feature and simplifies the parser.

Seems like my sphynx version is different than the one in the bot, as it
accepted everything locally. I think this is the right fix...

HowToCrossCompile was outdated and generating too much traffic on the mailing
list with similar queries. This change helps offset most of the problems that
were reported recently including:
* Removing the -ccc-gcc-name, adding --sysroot
* Making references to Debian's multiarch for target libraries
* Expanding -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS for both GCC and Clang
* Some formatting and clarifications in the text
