Summary: In NEON, the immediate forms of VBIC and VORR are each represented as a single MC instruction, which takes its immediate operand already encoded in a NEON-friendly format: 8 data bits, plus some control bits indicating how to expand them into a full vector. In MVE, we represented immediate VBIC and VORR as four separate MC instructions each, for an 8-bit immediate shifted left by 0, 8, 16 or 24 bits. For each one, the value of the immediate operand is in the 'natural' form, i.e. the numerical value that would actually be BICed or ORRed into each vector lane (and also the same value shown in assembly). For example, MVE_VBICIZ16v4i32 takes an operand such as 0xab0000, which NEON would represent as 0xab | (control bits << 8). The MVE approach is superficially nice (it makes assembly input and output easy, and it's also nice if you're manually constructing immediate VBICs). But it turns out that it's better for isel if we make the NEON and MVE instructions work the same, because the ARMISD::VBICIMM and VORRIMM node types already encode their immediate into the NEON format, so it's easier if we can just use it. Also, this commit reduces the total amount of code rather than increasing it, which is surely an indication that it really is simpler to do it this way!

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure
This directory and its subdirectories contain source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and runtime 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 workflow and configuration to get and build the LLVM source:
-
Checkout LLVM (including related subprojects 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] ../llvm
Some common 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 subprojects 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 pathname 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).
-
Run your build tool of choice!
-
The default target (i.e.
ninja
ormake
) will build all of LLVM. -
The
check-all
target (i.e.ninja check-all
) will run the regression tests to ensure everything is in working order. -
CMake will generate build 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
, usemake -j NNN
(NNN is the number of parallel jobs, use e.g. number of CPUs you have.)
