Have funcattrs expand all implied attributes into the IR. This expands the infrastructure from D100400, but for definitions not declarations this time. Somewhat subtly, this mostly isn't semantic. Because the accessors did the inference, any client which used the accessor was already getting the stronger result. Clients that directly checked presence of attributes (there are some), will see a stronger result now. The old behavior can end up quite confusing for two reasons: * Without this change, we have situations where function-attrs appears to fail when inferring an attribute (as seen by a human reading IR), but that consuming code will see that it should have been implied. As a human trying to sanity check test results and study IR for optimization possibilities, this is exceeding error prone and confusing. (I'll note that I wasted several hours recently because of this.) * We can have transforms which trigger without the IR appearing (on inspection) to meet the preconditions. This change doesn't prevent this from happening (as the accessors still involve multiple checks), but it should make it less frequent. I'd argue in favor of deleting the extra checks out of the accessors after this lands, but I want that in it's own review as a) it's purely stylistic, and b) I already know there's some disagreement. Once this lands, I'm also going to do a cleanup change which will delete some now redundant duplicate predicates in the inference code, but again, that deserves to be a change of it's own.

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure
This directory and its sub-directories contain source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time 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 work-flow and configuration to get and build the LLVM source:
-
Checkout LLVM (including related sub-projects 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
-
cmake -S llvm -B build -G <generator> [options]
Some common build system 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 sub-projects 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 path name 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).
-
cmake --build build [-- [options] <target>]
or your build system specified above directly.-
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 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
, use the option-j NNN
, whereNNN
is the number of parallel jobs, e.g. the number of CPUs you have.
