The ability to specify alignment was recently added, and it's an
important property which we should ensure is set as expected by
Clang. (Especially before making further changes to Clang's code in
this area.) But, because it's on the end of the lines, the existing
tests all ignore it.
Therefore, update all the tests to also verify the expected alignment
for atomicrmw and cmpxchg. While I was in there, I also updated uses
of 'load atomic' and 'store atomic', and added the memory ordering,
where that was missing.
For a default visibility external linkage definition, dso_local is set for ELF
-fno-pic/-fpie and COFF and Mach-O. Since default clang -cc1 for ELF is similar
to -fpic ("PIC Level" is not set), this nuance causes unneeded binary format differences.
To make emitted IR similar, ELF -cc1 -fpic will default to -fno-semantic-interposition,
which sets dso_local for default visibility external linkage definitions.
To make this flip smooth and enable future (dso_local as definition default),
this patch replaces (function) `define ` with `define{{.*}} `,
(variable/constant/alias) `= ` with `={{.*}} `, or inserts appropriate `{{.*}} `.
If we're going to assume references are dereferenceable, we should also
assume they're aligned: otherwise, we can't actually dereference them.

Summary:
Right now we annotate C++'s `operator new` with `noalias` attribute,
which very much is healthy for optimizations.
However as per [[ http://eel.is/c++draft/basic.stc.dynamic.allocation | `[basic.stc.dynamic.allocation]` ]],
there are more promises on global `operator new`, namely:
* non-`std::nothrow_t` `operator new` *never* returns `nullptr`
* If `std::align_val_t align` parameter is taken, the pointer will also be `align`-aligned
* ~~global `operator new`-returned pointer is `__STDCPP_DEFAULT_NEW_ALIGNMENT__`-aligned ~~ It's more caveated than that.
Supplying this information may not cause immediate landslide effects
on any specific benchmarks, but it for sure will be healthy for optimizer
in the sense that the IR will better reflect the guarantees provided in the source code.
The caveat is `-fno-assume-sane-operator-new`, which currently prevents emitting `noalias`
attribute, and is automatically passed by Sanitizers ([[ https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16386 | PR16386 ]]) - should it also cover these attributes?
The problem is that the flag is back-end-specific, as seen in `test/Modules/explicit-build-flags.cpp`.
But while it is okay to add `noalias` metadata in backend, we really should be adding at least
the alignment metadata to the AST, since that allows us to perform sema checks on it.

Summary:
Clang -fpic defaults to -fno-semantic-interposition (GCC -fpic defaults
to -fsemantic-interposition).
Users need to specify -fsemantic-interposition to get semantic
interposition behavior.
Semantic interposition is currently a best-effort feature. There may
still be some cases where it is not handled well.

CodeGen-level implementation. Instead of adding an attribute to clang's
FunctionDecl, add the IR attribute directly. This means a module built with
this flag is now compatible with code built without it and vice versa.
This change also results in the 'noalias' attribute no longer being added to
calls to operator new in the IR; it's now only added to the declaration. It
also fixes a bug where we failed to add the attribute to the 'nothrow' versions
(because we didn't implicitly declare them, there was no good time to inject a
fake attribute).

Introduce an Address type to bundle a pointer value with an
alignment. Introduce APIs on CGBuilderTy to work with Address
values. Change core APIs on CGF/CGM to traffic in Address where
appropriate. Require alignments to be non-zero. Update a ton
of code to compute and propagate alignment information.
As part of this, I've promoted CGBuiltin's EmitPointerWithAlignment
helper function to CGF and made use of it in a number of places in
the expression emitter.
The end result is that we should now be significantly more correct
when performing operations on objects that are locally known to
be under-aligned. Since alignment is not reliably tracked in the
type system, there are inherent limits to this, but at least we
are no longer confused by standard operations like derived-to-base
conversions and array-to-pointer decay. I've also fixed a large
number of bugs where we were applying the complete-object alignment
to a pointer instead of the non-virtual alignment, although most of
these were hidden by the very conservative approach we took with
member alignment.
Also, because IRGen now reliably asserts on zero alignments, we
should no longer be subject to an absurd but frustrating recurring
bug where an incomplete type would report a zero alignment and then
we'd naively do a alignmentAtOffset on it and emit code using an
alignment equal to the largest power-of-two factor of the offset.
We should also now be emitting much more aggressive alignment
attributes in the presence of over-alignment. In particular,
field access now uses alignmentAtOffset instead of min.
Several times in this patch, I had to change the existing
code-generation pattern in order to more effectively use
the Address APIs. For the most part, this seems to be a strict
improvement, like doing pointer arithmetic with GEPs instead of
ptrtoint. That said, I've tried very hard to not change semantics,
but it is likely that I've failed in a few places, for which I
apologize.
ABIArgInfo now always carries the assumed alignment of indirect and
indirect byval arguments. In order to cut down on what was already
a dauntingly large patch, I changed the code to never set align
attributes in the IR on non-byval indirect arguments. That is,
we still generate code which assumes that indirect arguments have
the given alignment, but we don't express this information to the
backend except where it's semantically required (i.e. on byvals).
This is likely a minor regression for those targets that did provide
this information, but it'll be trivial to add it back in a later
patch.
I partially punted on applying this work to CGBuiltin. Please
do not add more uses of the CreateDefaultAligned{Load,Store}
APIs; they will be going away eventually.

Sometimes we can provide an initializer for static locals, in which case
we sometimes might need to change the type. Changing the type requires
making a new LLVM GlobalVariable, and in this codepath we were
forgetting to transfer the comdat.
Fixes PR23838.
Patch by Ivan Garramona.
llvm-svn: 242704
Currently we emit DeferredDeclsToEmit in reverse order. This patch changes that.
The advantages of the change are that
* The output order is a bit closer to the source order. The change to
test/CodeGenCXX/pod-member-memcpys.cpp is a good example.
* If we decide to deffer more, it will not cause as large changes in the
estcases as it would without this patch.

The llvm IR until recently had no support for comdats. This was a problem when
targeting C++ on ELF/COFF as just using weak linkage would cause quite a bit of
dead bits to remain on the executable (unless -ffunction-sections,
-fdata-sections and --gc-sections were used).
To fix the problem, llvm's codegen will just assume that any weak or linkonce
that is not in an explicit comdat should be output in one with the same name as
the global.
This unfortunately breaks cases like pr19848 where a weak symbol is not
xpected to be part of any comdat.
Now that we have explicit comdats in the IR, we can finally get both cases
right.
This first patch just makes clang give explicit comdats to GlobalValues where
t is allowed to.
A followup patch to llvm will then stop implicitly producing comdats.
llvm-svn: 225705
The variable (and the GV) is only ever used if the function is. Putting it
in the function's comdat make it easier for the linker to discard them.
The motivating example is
struct S {
static const int x;
};
// const int S::x = 42;
inline const int *f() {
static const int y = S::x;
return &y;
}
const int *g() { return f(); }
With S::x commented out, _ZZ1fvE1y is a variable with a guard variable
that is initialized by f.
With S::x present, _ZZ1fvE1y is a constant.
llvm-svn: 224369
Clang can already handle
-------------------------------------------
struct S {
static const int x;
};
template<typename T> struct U {
static const int k;
};
template<typename T> const int U<T>::k = T::x;
const int S::x = 42;
extern const int *f();
const int *g() { return &U<S>::k; }
int main() {
return *f() + U<S>::k;
}
const int *f() { return &U<S>::k; }
-------------------------------------------
since r217264 which puts the .inint_array section in the same COMDAT
as the variable.
This patch allows the linker to more easily delete some dead code and data by
putting the guard variable and init function in the same COMDAT.
This is a fixed version of r218089.

With this patch we output the in the order
C2
C1
D2
D1
D0
Which means that a destructor or constructor that call another is output after
the callee. This is a bit easier to read IHMO and a tiny bit more efficient
as we don't put a decl in DeferredDeclsToEmit.

initialize an array of unsigned char. Outside C++11 mode, this bug was benign,
and just resulted in us emitting a constant which was double the required
length, padded with 0s. In C++11, it resulted in us generating an array whose
first element was something like i8 ptrtoint ([n x i8]* @str to i8).

These patches cause us to miscompile and/or reject code with static
function-local variables in an extern-C context. Previously, we were
papering over this as long as the variables are within the same
translation unit, and had not seen any failures in the wild. We still
need a proper fix, which involves mangling static locals inside of an
extern-C block (as GCC already does), but this patch causes pretty
widespread regressions. Firefox, and many other applications no longer
build.
Lots of test cases have been posted to the list in response to this
commit, so there should be no problem reproducing the issues.

the case that the variable already exists. Partly this is just
protection against people making crazy declarations with custom
asm labels or extern "C" names that intentionally collide with
the manglings of such variables, but the main reason is that we
can actually emit a static local variable twice with the
requirement that it match up. There may be other cases with
(e.g.) the various nested functions, but the main exemplar is
with constructor variants, where we can be forced into
double-emitting the function body under certain circumstances
like (currently) the presence of virtual bases.
llvm-svn: 153723
variables should have that linkage. Otherwise, its static local
variables should have internal linkage. To avoid computing this excessively,
set a function's linkage before we emit code for it.
Previously we were assigning weak linkage to the static variables of
static inline functions in C++, with predictably terrible results. This
fixes that and also gives better linkage than 'weak' when merging is required.

- This is designed to make it obvious that %clang_cc1 is a "test variable"
which is substituted. It is '%clang_cc1' instead of '%clang -cc1' because it
can be useful to redefine what gets run as 'clang -cc1' (for example, to set
a default target).
