clang current accepts:
void foo1(__SVInt8_t *x, __SVInt8_t *y) { *x = *y; }
void foo2(__SVInt8_t *x, __SVInt8_t *y) {
memcpy(y, x, sizeof(__SVInt8_t));
}
The first function is valid ACLE code and generates correct LLVM IR.
However, the second function is invalid ACLE code and generates a
zero-length memcpy. The point of this patch is to reject the use
of sizeof in the second case instead.
There's no similar wrong-code bug for alignof. However, the SVE ACLE
conservatively treats alignof in the same way as sizeof, just as the
C++ standard does for incomplete types. The idea is that layout of
sizeless types is an implementation property and isn't defined at
the language level.
Implementation-wise, the patch adds a new CompleteTypeKind enum
that controls whether RequireCompleteType & friends accept sizeless
built-in types. For now the default is to maintain the status quo
and accept sizeless types. However, the end of the series will flip
the default and remove the Default enum value.
The patch also adds new ...CompleteSized... wrappers that callers can
use if they explicitly want to reject sizeless types. The callers then
use diagnostics that have an extra 0/1 parameter to indicats whether
the type is sizeless or not.
The idea is to have three cases:
1. calls that explicitly reject sizeless types, with a tweaked diagnostic
for the sizeless case
2. calls that explicitly allow sizeless types
3. normal/old-style calls that don't make an explicit choice either way
Once the default is flipped, the 3. calls will conservatively reject
sizeless types, using the same diagnostic as for other incomplete types.

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure
This directory and its sub-directories contain source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.
The README briefly describes how to get started with building LLVM. For more information on how to contribute to the LLVM project, please take a look at the Contributing to LLVM guide.
Getting Started with the LLVM System
Taken from https://llvm.org/docs/GettingStarted.html.
Overview
Welcome to the LLVM project!
The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called "LLVM". This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and converts it into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer. It also contains basic regression tests.
C-like languages use the Clang front end. This component compiles C, C++, Objective C, and Objective C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.
Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
Getting the Source Code and Building LLVM
The LLVM Getting Started documentation may be out of date. The Clang Getting Started page might have more accurate information.
This is an example work-flow and configuration to get and build the LLVM source:
-
Checkout LLVM (including related sub-projects like Clang):
-
git clone https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project.git -
Or, on windows,
git clone --config core.autocrlf=false https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project.git
-
-
Configure and build LLVM and Clang:
-
cd llvm-project -
mkdir build -
cd build -
cmake -G <generator> [options] ../llvmSome common build system generators are:
Ninja--- for generating Ninja build files. Most llvm developers use Ninja.Unix Makefiles--- for generating make-compatible parallel makefiles.Visual Studio--- for generating Visual Studio projects and solutions.Xcode--- for generating Xcode projects.
Some Common options:
-
-DLLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS='...'--- semicolon-separated list of the LLVM sub-projects you'd like to additionally build. Can include any of: clang, clang-tools-extra, libcxx, libcxxabi, libunwind, lldb, compiler-rt, lld, polly, or debuginfo-tests.For example, to build LLVM, Clang, libcxx, and libcxxabi, use
-DLLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS="clang;libcxx;libcxxabi". -
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=directory--- Specify for directory the full path name of where you want the LLVM tools and libraries to be installed (default/usr/local). -
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=type--- Valid options for type are Debug, Release, RelWithDebInfo, and MinSizeRel. Default is Debug. -
-DLLVM_ENABLE_ASSERTIONS=On--- Compile with assertion checks enabled (default is Yes for Debug builds, No for all other build types).
-
cmake --build . [-- [options] <target>]or your build system specified above directly.-
The default target (i.e.
ninjaormake) will build all of LLVM. -
The
check-alltarget (i.e.ninja check-all) will run the regression tests to ensure everything is in working order. -
CMake will generate targets for each tool and library, and most LLVM sub-projects generate their own
check-<project>target. -
Running a serial build will be slow. To improve speed, try running a parallel build. That's done by default in Ninja; for
make, use the option-j NNN, whereNNNis the number of parallel jobs, e.g. the number of CPUs you have.
