History

Maksim Panchenko cce239c45d HHVM calling conventions. HHVM calling convention, hhvmcc, is used by HHVM JIT for functions in translated cache. We currently support LLVM back end to generate code for X86-64 and may support other architectures in the future. In HHVM calling convention any GP register could be used to pass and return values, with the exception of R12 which is reserved for thread-local area and is callee-saved. Other than R12, we always pass RBX and RBP as args, which are our virtual machine's stack pointer and frame pointer respectively. When we enter translation cache via hhvmcc function, we expect the stack to be aligned at 16 bytes, i.e. skewed by 8 bytes as opposed to standard ABI alignment. This affects stack object alignment and stack adjustments for function calls. One extra calling convention, hhvm_ccc, is used to call C++ helpers from HHVM's translation cache. It is almost identical to standard C calling convention with an exception of first argument which is passed in RBP (before we use RDI, RSI, etc.) Differential Revision: http://reviews.llvm.org/D12681 llvm-svn: 248832		2015-09-29 22:09:16 +00:00

README

-*- llvm/utils/vim/README -*-

This directory contains settings for the vim editor to work on llvm *.ll and
tablegen *.td files. It comes with filetype detection rules in the (ftdetect),
syntax highlighting (syntax), some minimal sensible default settings (ftplugin)
and indentation plugins (indent).

To install copy all subdirectories to your $HOME/.vim or if you prefer create
symlinks to the files here. Do not copy the vimrc file here it is only meant as an inspiration and starting point for those working on llvm c++ code.

Note: If you notice missing or incorrect syntax highlighting, please contact
<llvm-bugs [at] lists.llvm.org>; if you wish to provide a patch to improve the
functionality, it will be most appreciated. Thank you.

If you find yourself working with LLVM Makefiles often, but you don't get syntax
highlighting (because the files have names such as Makefile.rules or
TEST.nightly.Makefile), add the following to your ~/.vimrc:

  " LLVM Makefile highlighting mode
  augroup filetype
    au! BufRead,BufNewFile *Makefile*     set filetype=make
  augroup END
