<h1>"compiler-rt" Runtime Library</h1>
|
|
<!--*********************************************************************-->
|
|
|
|
<p>The compiler-rt project is a simple library that provides an implementation
|
|
of the low-level target-specific hooks required by code generation and
|
|
other runtime components. For example, when compiling for a 32-bit target,
|
|
converting a double to a 64-bit unsigned integer is compiling into a runtime
|
|
call to the "__fixunsdfdi" function. The compiler-rt library provides
|
|
optimized implementations of this and other low-level routines.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>All of the code in the compiler-rt project is available under the standard
|
|
<a href="http://llvm.org/docs/DeveloperPolicy.html#license">LLVM
|
|
License</a>, a "BSD-style" license.</p>

<h2 id="goals">Goals</h2>
|
|
<!--=====================================================================-->
|
|
|
|
<p>Different targets require different routines. The compiler-rt project aims
|
|
to implement these routines in both target-independent C form as well as
|
|
providing heavily optimized assembly versions of the routines in some
|
|
cases. It should be very easy to bring compiler-rt to support a new
|
|
target by adding the new routines needed by that target.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Where it make sense, the compiler-rt project aims to implement interfaces
|
|
that are drop-in compatible with the libgcc interfaces.</p>
|
|
|

<h2 id="features">Features</h2>
|
|
<!--=====================================================================-->
|
|
|
|
<p>The current feature set of compiler-rt is:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Full support for the libgcc interfaces required by these targets:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Darwin i386</li>
|
|
<li>Darwin X86-64</li>
|
|
<li>Darwin PowerPC</li>
|
|
<li>Darwin PowerPC 64</li>
|
|
</ul></li>
|
|
|
|
<li>High performance hand tuned implementations of commonly used functions
|
|
like __floatundidf in assembly that are dramatically faster than the
|
|
libgcc implementations.</li>
|
|
<li>A target-independent implementation of the Apple "Blocks" runtime
|
|
interfaces.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<!--=====================================================================-->

|
<p>To check out the code, use:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>svn co http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/compiler-rt/trunk compiler-rt</li>
|
|
<li>cd compiler-rt</li>
|
|
<li>make</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>Note that the library will probably only build out of the box on Darwin,
|
|
but patches to improve portability are definitely welcome.</p>
|
|
|
