COFF normally doesn't allow us to describe the alignment of COMMON
symbols.
It turns out that most linkers use the symbol size as a hint as to how
aligned the symbol should be.
However the BFD folks have added a .drectve command, which we
now support as of r219229, that allows us to specify the alignment
precisely. With this in mind, stop rounding sizes up.
llvm-svn: 219281
The GNU linker supports an -aligncomm directive that allows for power-of-2
alignment of common data. Add support to emit this directive.
llvm-svn: 219229
link.exe:
Fuzz testing has shown that COMMON symbols with size > 32 will always
have an alignment of at least 32 and all symbols with size < 32 will
have an alignment of at least the largest power of 2 less than the size
of the symbol.
binutils:
The BFD linker essentially work like the link.exe behavior but with
alignment 4 instead of 32. The BFD linker also supports an extension to
COFF which adds an -aligncomm argument to the .drectve section which
permits specifying a precise alignment for a variable but MC currently
doesn't support editing .drectve in this way.
With all of this in mind, we decide to play a little trick: we can
ensure that the alignment will be respected by bumping the size of the
global to it's alignment.

Rename the routines to reflect the reality that they are more related to call
frame information than to Win64 EH. Although EH is implemented in an intertwined
manner by augmenting with an exception handler and an associated parameter, the
majority of these routines emit information required to unwind the frames. This
also helps identify that these routines are generic for most windows platforms
(they apply equally to nearly all architectures except x86) although the
encoding of the information is architecture dependent.
Unwinding data is emitted via EmitWinCFI* and exception handling information via
EmitWinEH*.

In assembly the expression a=b is parsed as an assignment, so it should be
printed as one.
This remove a truly horrible hack for producing a label with "a=.". It would
be used by codegen but would never be reached by the asm parser. Sorry I
missed this when it was first committed.
llvm-svn: 211639
Now that clang can be used as an assembler via the IAS, invalid assembler inputs
would cause the assertions to trigger. Although we cannot recover from the
errors here, nor provide caret diagnostics, attempt to handle them slightly more
gracefully by reporting a fatal error.

This introduces a target specific streamer, X86WinCOFFStreamer, which handles
the target specific behaviour (e.g. WinEH). This is mostly to ensure that
differences between ARM and X86 remain disjoint and do not accidentally cross
boundaries. This is the final staging change for enabling object emission for
Windows on ARM.
llvm-svn: 207344
This is in preparation for promoting WinCOFFStreamer to a base class which will
be shared by the X86 and ARM specific target COFF streamers. Also add a new
getOrCreateSymbolData interface (like MCELFStreamer) for the ARM COFF Streamer.
This makes the COFFStreamer more similar to the ELFStreamer.
llvm-svn: 207343
Stylistic changes to prepare for splitting up the COFFStreamer into target
specific streamers. Tweak some assertion messages. No functional change.
llvm-svn: 207342
Add support for emitting .file records. This is mostly a quality of
implementation change (more complete support for COFF file emission) that was
noticed while working on COFF file emission for Windows on ARM.
A .file record is emitted as a symbol with storage class FILE (103) and the name
".file". A series of auxiliary format 4 records follow which contain the file
name. The filename is stored as an ANSI string and is padded with NULL if the
length is not a multiple of COFF::SymbolSize (18).
llvm-svn: 206355
Summary:
Local common symbols were properly inserted into the .bss section.
However, putting external common symbols in the .bss section would give
them a strong definition.
Instead, encode them as undefined, external symbols who's symbol value
is equivalent to their size.

Before llvm-mc would print it, but llc was assuming that it would produce
another section changing directive before one was needed. That assumption is
false with inline asm.
Fixes PR19049.
Another option would be to always create the section, but in the asm printer
avoid printing sections changes during initialization. That would work, but
* We do use the fact that llvm-mc prints it in testing. The tests can be changed
if needed.
* A quick poll on IRC suggest that most developers prefer the implicit .text to
be printed.
llvm-svn: 203001
This has a few advantages:
* Only targets that use a MCTargetStreamer have to worry about it.
* There is never a MCTargetStreamer without a MCStreamer, so we can use a
reference.
* A MCTargetStreamer can talk to the MCStreamer in its constructor.

These should not use COMDATs. GNU as uses .bss for .lcomm and section 0 for
.comm.
Given
static int a;
int b;
MSVC puts both in .bss. This patch then puts both .comm and .lcomm on .bss. With
this change we agree with gas on .lcomm, are much closer on .comm and clang-cl
matches msvc on the above example.
llvm-svn: 195654
This is the first step to fix pr17918.
It extends the .section directive a bit, inspired by what the ELF one looks
like. The problem with using linkonce is that given
.section foo
.linkonce....
.section foo
.linkonce
we would already have switched sections when getting to .linkonce. The cleanest
solution seems to be to add the comdat information in the .section itself.

This patch fixes an old FIXME by creating a MCTargetStreamer interface
and moving the target specific functions for ARM, Mips and PPC to it.
The ARM streamer is still declared in a common place because it is
used from lib/CodeGen/ARMException.cpp, but the Mips and PPC are
completely hidden in the corresponding Target directories.
I will send an email to llvmdev with instructions on how to use this.
llvm-svn: 192181
When MC was first added, targets could use hasRawTextSupport to keep features
working before they were added to the MC interface.
The design goal of MC is to provide an uniform api for printing assembly and
object files. Short of relaxations and other corner cases, a object file is
just another representation of the assembly.
It was never the intention that targets would keep doing things like
if (hasRawTextSupport())
Set flags in one way.
else
Set flags in another way.
When they do that they create two code paths and the object file is no longer
just another representation of the assembly. This also then requires testing
with llc -filetype=obj, which is extremelly brittle.
This patch removes some of these hacks by replacing them with smaller ones.
The ARM flag setting is trivial, so I just moved it to the constructor. For
Mips, the patch adds two temporary hack directives that allow the assembly
to represent the same things as the object file was already able to.
The hope is that the mips developers will replace the hack directives with
the same ones that gas uses and drop the -print-hack-directives flag.
I will also try to implement a target streamer interface, so that we can
move this out of the common code.
In summary, for any new work, two rules of the thumb are
* Don't use "llc -filetype=obj" in tests.
* Don't add calls to hasRawTextSupport.

Currently, when an invalid attribute is encountered on processing a .s file,
clang will abort due to llvm_unreachable. Invalid user input should not cause
an abnormal termination of the compiler. Change the interface to return a
boolean to indicate the failure as a first step towards improving hanlding of
malformed user input to clang.

isa<> and dyn_cast<>. In several places, code is already hacking around
the absence of this, and there seem to be several interfaces that might
be lifted and/or devirtualized using this.
This change was based on a discussion with Jim Grosbach about how best
to handle testing for specific MCStreamer subclasses. He said that this
was the correct end state, and everything else was too hacky so
I decided to just make it so.
No functionality should be changed here, this is just threading the kind
through all the constructors and setting up the classof overloads.

The aim of this patch is to fix the following piece of code in the
platform-independent AsmParser:
void AsmParser::CheckForValidSection() {
if (!ParsingInlineAsm && !getStreamer().getCurrentSection()) {
TokError("expected section directive before assembly directive");
Out.SwitchSection(Ctx.getMachOSection(
"__TEXT", "__text",
MCSectionMachO::S_ATTR_PURE_INSTRUCTIONS,
0, SectionKind::getText()));
}
}
This was added for the "-n" option of llvm-mc.
The proposed fix adds another virtual method to MCStreamer, called
InitToTextSection. Conceptually, it's similar to the existing
InitSections which initializes all common sections and switches to
text. The new method is implemented by each platform streamer in a way
that it sees fit. So AsmParser can now do this:
void AsmParser::CheckForValidSection() {
if (!ParsingInlineAsm && !getStreamer().getCurrentSection()) {
TokError("expected section directive before assembly directive");
Out.InitToTextSection();
}
}
Which is much more reasonable.
llvm-svn: 172450
Mips16 is really a processor decoding mode (ala thumb 1) and in the same
program, mips16 and mips32 functions can exist and can call each other.
If a jal type instruction encounters an address with the lower bit set, then
the processor switches to mips16 mode (if it is not already in it). If the
lower bit is not set, then it switches to mips32 mode.
The linker knows which functions are mips16 and which are mips32.
When relocation is performed on code labels, this lower order bit is
set if the code label is a mips16 code label.
In general this works just fine, however when creating exception handling
tables and dwarf, there are cases where you don't want this lower order
bit added in.
This has been traditionally distinguished in gas assembly source by using a
different syntax for the label.
lab1: ; this will cause the lower order bit to be added
lab2=. ; this will not cause the lower order bit to be added
In some cases, it does not matter because in dwarf and debug tables
the difference of two labels is used and in that case the lower order
bits subtract each other out.
To fix this, I have added to mcstreamer the notion of a debuglabel.
The default is for label and debug label to be the same. So calling
EmitLabel and EmitDebugLabel produce the same result.
For various reasons, there is only one set of labels that needs to be
modified for the mips exceptions to work. These are the "$eh_func_beginXXX"
labels.
Mips overrides the debug label suffix from ":" to "=." .
This initial patch fixes exceptions. More changes most likely
will be needed to DwarfCFException to make all of this work
for actual debugging. These changes will be to emit debug labels in some
places where a simple label is emitted now.

Sooooo many of these had incorrect or strange main module includes.
I have manually inspected all of these, and fixed the main module
include to be the nearest plausible thing I could find. If you own or
care about any of these source files, I encourage you to take some time
and check that these edits were sensible. I can't have broken anything
(I strictly added headers, and reordered them, never removed), but they
may not be the headers you'd really like to identify as containing the
API being implemented.
Many forward declarations and missing includes were added to a header
files to allow them to parse cleanly when included first. The main
module rule does in fact have its merits. =]
