![]() Summary: This patch extracts the logic for computing the "absolute" locations, which was partially present in the debug_loclists dumper, completes it, and moves it into a separate function. This makes it possible to later reuse the same logic for uses other than dumping. The dumper is changed to reuse the location list interpreter, and its format is changed somewhat. In "verbose" mode it prints the "raw" value of a location list, the interpreted location (if available) and the expression itself. In non-verbose mode it prints only one of the location forms: it prefers the interpreted form, but falls back to the "raw" format if interpretation is not possible (for instance, because we were not given a base address, or the resolution of indirect addresses failed). This patch also undos some of the changes made in D69672, namely the part about making all functions static. The main reason for this is that I learned that the original approach (dumping only fully resolved locations) meant that it was impossible to rewrite one of the existing tests. To make that possible (and make the "inline location" dump work in more cases), I now reuse the same dumping mechanism as is used for section-based dumping. As this required having more objects know about the various location lists classes, it seemed like a good idea to create an interface abstracting the difference between them. Therefore, I now create a DWARFLocationTable class, which will serve as a base class for the location list classes. DWARFDebugLoclists is made to inherit from that. DWARFDebugLoc will follow. Another positive effect of this change is that section-based dumping code will not need to use templates (as originally) envisioned, and that the argument lists of the dumping functions become shorter.

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.
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.)
