We already add the align parameter attribute for function parameters that have the align_value attribute (or those with a typedef type having that attribute), which is an important special case, but does not handle pointers with value alignment assumptions that come into scope in any other way. To handle the general case, emit an @llvm.assume-based alignment assumption whenever we load the pointer-typed lvalue of an align_value-attributed variable (except for function parameters, which we already deal with at entry). I'll also note that this is more general than Intel's described support in: https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/data-alignment-to-assist-vectorization which states that the compiler inserts __assume_aligned directives in response to align_value-attributed variables only for function parameters and for the initializers of local variables. I think that we can make the optimizer deal with this more-general scheme (which could lead to a lot of calls to @llvm.assume inside of loop bodies, for example), but if not, I'll rework this to be less aggressive. llvm-svn: 219052 |

//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===// // C Language Family Front-end //===----------------------------------------------------------------------===// Welcome to Clang. This is a compiler front-end for the C family of languages (C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++) which is built as part of the LLVM compiler infrastructure project. Unlike many other compiler frontends, Clang is useful for a number of things beyond just compiling code: we intend for Clang to be host to a number of different source-level tools. One example of this is the Clang Static Analyzer. If you're interested in more (including how to build Clang) it is best to read the relevant web sites. Here are some pointers: Information on Clang: http://clang.llvm.org/ Building and using Clang: http://clang.llvm.org/get_started.html Clang Static Analyzer: http://clang-analyzer.llvm.org/ Information on the LLVM project: http://llvm.org/ If you have questions or comments about Clang, a great place to discuss them is on the Clang development mailing list: http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/cfe-dev If you find a bug in Clang, please file it in the LLVM bug tracker: http://llvm.org/bugs/
