<p>During the course of using LLVM, you may wish to customize it for your
|
|
|
|
|
research project or for experimentation. At this point, you may realize that
|
|
|
|
|
you need to add something to LLVM, whether it be a new fundamental type, a new
|
|
|
|
|
intrinsic function, or a whole new instruction.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>When you come to this realization, stop and think. Do you really need to
|
|
|
|
|
extend LLVM? Is it a new fundamental capability that LLVM does not support at
|
|
|
|
|
its current incarnation or can it be synthesized from already pre-existing LLVM
|
|
|
|
|
elements? If you are not sure, ask on the <a
|
|
|
|
|
href="http://mail.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/llvmdev">LLVM-dev</a> list. The
|
|
|
|
|
reason is that extending LLVM will get involved as you need to update all the
|
|
|
|
|
different passes that you intend to use with your extension, and there are
|
|
|
|
|
<em>many</em> LLVM analyses and transformations, so it may be quite a bit of
|
|
|
|
|
work.</p>

|
|
|
<p>Adding an <a href="#intrinsic">intrinsic function</a> is easier than adding
|
|
|
|
|
an instruction, and is transparent to optimization passes which treat it as an
|
|
|
|
|
unanalyzable function. If your added functionality can be expressed as a
|
|
|
|
|
function call, an intrinsic function is the method of choice for LLVM
|
|
|
|
|
extension.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
<p>Before you invest a significant amount of effort into a non-trivial
|
|
|
|
|
extension, <span class="doc_warning">ask on the list</span> if what you are
|
|
|
|
|
looking to do can be done with already-existing infrastructure, or if maybe
|
|
|
|

someone else is already working on it. You will save yourself a lot of time and
|
|
|
|

<p>Adding a new intrinsic function to LLVM is much easier than adding a new
|
|
|
|
|
instruction. Almost all extensions to LLVM should start as an intrinsic
|
|
|
|
|
function and then be turned into an instruction if warranted.</p>

<p>Once the intrinsic has been added to the system, you must add code generator
|
|
|
|
|
support for it. Generally you must do the following steps:</p>

|
|
|
|
2006-01-16 08:54:23 +01:00
|
|
|
<dd>Depending on the intrinsic, there are a few ways to implement this. For
|
|
|
|
|
most intrinsics, it makes sense to add code to lower your intrinsic in
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>LowerIntrinsicCall</tt> in <tt>lib/CodeGen/IntrinsicLowering.cpp</tt>.
|
|
|
|
|
Second, if it makes sense to lower the intrinsic to an expanded sequence of C
|
|
|
|
|
code in all cases, just emit the expansion in <tt>visitCallInst</tt> in
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>Writer.cpp</tt>. If the intrinsic has some way to express it with GCC
|
|
|
|
|
(or any other compiler) extensions, it can be conditionally supported based on
|
2006-01-16 17:31:40 +01:00
|
|
|
the compiler compiling the CBE output (see <tt>llvm.prefetch</tt> for an
|
|
|
|
|
example).
|
2006-01-16 08:54:23 +01:00
|
|
|
Third, if the intrinsic really has no way to be lowered, just have the code
|
|
|
|
|
generator emit code that prints an error message and calls abort if executed.

<dd>Since most targets in LLVM use the SelectionDAG framework for generating
|
|
|
|
|
code, you will likely need to add support for your intrinsic there as well.
|
|
|
|
|
This is usually accomplished by adding a new node, and then teaching the
|
|
|
|
|
SelectionDAG code how to handle that node. To do this, follow the steps in

<dl>
|
|
|
|
|
<dt>Once you have added the new node, add code to

|
|
|
|
<tt>SelectionDAG/SelectionDAGISel.cpp</tt> to recognize the intrinsic. In most
|
|
|
|
|
cases, the intrinsic will just be turned into the node you just added. For an
|
2006-01-16 17:31:40 +01:00
|
|

example of this, see how <tt>visitIntrinsicCall</tt> handles

<p>As with intrinsics, adding a new SelectionDAG node to LLVM is much easier
|
|
|
|
|
than adding a new instruction. New nodes are often added to help represent
|
|
|
|
|
instructions common to many targets. These nodes often map to an LLVM
|
|
|
|
|
instruction (add, sub) or intrinsic (byteswap, population count). In other
|
|
|
|
|
cases, new nodes have been added to allow many targets to perform a common task
|
|
|
|
|
(converting between floating point and integer representation) or capture more
|
|
|
|
|
complicated behavior in a single node (rotate).</p>

|
|
|
<li><tt>lib/CodeGen/SelectionDAG/SelectionDAG.cpp</tt>:
|
|
|
|
|
Add code to print the node to <tt>getOperationName</tt>. If your new node
|
|
|
|
|
can be evaluated at compile time when given constant arguments (such as an
|
|
|
|
|
add of a constant with another constant), find the <tt>getNode</tt> method
|
|
|
|
|
that takes the appropriate number of arguments, and add a case for your node
|
|
|
|
|
to the switch statement that performs constant folding for nodes that take
|
|
|
|
|
the same number of arguments as your new node.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li><tt>lib/CodeGen/SelectionDAG/LegalizeDAG.cpp</tt>:
|
|
|
|
|
Add code to <a href="CodeGenerator.html#selectiondag_legalize">legalize,
|
|
|
|
|
promote, and expand</a> the node as necessary. At a minimum, you will need
|
|
|
|
|
to add a case statement for your node in <tt>LegalizeOp</tt> which calls
|
|
|
|
|
LegalizeOp on the node's operands, and returns a new node if any of the
|
|
|
|
|
operands changed as a result of being legalized. It is likely that not all
|
|
|
|
|
targets supported by the SelectionDAG framework will natively support the
|
|
|
|
|
new node. In this case, you must also add code in your node's case
|
|
|
|
|
statement in <tt>LegalizeOp</tt> to Expand your node into simpler, legal
|
2006-01-16 17:31:40 +01:00
|
|
|
operations. The case for <tt>ISD::UREM</tt> for expanding a remainder into
|
|
|

a divide, multiply, and a subtract is a good example.</li>

2006-01-16 08:54:23 +01:00
|

<li><tt>lib/CodeGen/SelectionDAG/LegalizeDAG.cpp</tt>:
|
|
|
|
|
If targets may support the new node being added only at certain sizes, you
|
|
|
|
|
will also need to add code to your node's case statement in
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>LegalizeOp</tt> to Promote your node's operands to a larger size, and
|
|
|
|
|
perform the correct operation. You will also need to add code to
|
2006-01-16 17:31:40 +01:00
|
|
|
<tt>PromoteOp</tt> to do this as well. For a good example, see
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>ISD::BSWAP</tt>,
|
2006-01-16 08:54:23 +01:00
|
|
|
which promotes its operand to a wider size, performs the byteswap, and then
|
|
|
|
|
shifts the correct bytes right to emulate the narrower byteswap in the
|
|
|
|
|
wider type.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li><tt>lib/CodeGen/SelectionDAG/LegalizeDAG.cpp</tt>:
|
|
|
|
|
Add a case for your node in <tt>ExpandOp</tt> to teach the legalizer how to
|
|
|
|
|
perform the action represented by the new node on a value that has been
|
|
|
|
|
split into high and low halves. This case will be used to support your
|
|
|
|
|
node with a 64 bit operand on a 32 bit target.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li><tt>lib/CodeGen/SelectionDAG/DAGCombiner.cpp</tt>:
|
|
|
|
|
If your node can be combined with itself, or other existing nodes in a
|
|
|
|
|
peephole-like fashion, add a visit function for it, and call that function
|
|
|
|
|
from <tt></tt>. There are several good examples for simple combines you
|
|
|
|
|
can do; <tt>visitFABS</tt> and <tt>visitSRL</tt> are good starting places.
|
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li><tt>lib/Target/PowerPC/PPCISelLowering.cpp</tt>:
|
|
|
|
|
Each target has an implementation of the <tt>TargetLowering</tt> class,
|
|
|
|
|
usually in its own file (although some targets include it in the same
|
|
|
|
|
file as the DAGToDAGISel). The default behavior for a target is to
|
|
|
|
|
assume that your new node is legal for all types that are legal for
|
|
|
|
|
that target. If this target does not natively support your node, then
|
|
|
|
|
tell the target to either Promote it (if it is supported at a larger
|
|
|
|
|
type) or Expand it. This will cause the code you wrote in
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>LegalizeOp</tt> above to decompose your new node into other legal
|
|
|
|
|
nodes for this target.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li><tt>lib/Target/TargetSelectionDAG.td</tt>:
|
|
|
|
|
Most current targets supported by LLVM generate code using the DAGToDAG
|
|
|
|
|
method, where SelectionDAG nodes are pattern matched to target-specific
|
|
|
|
|
nodes, which represent individual instructions. In order for the targets
|
|
|
|
|
to match an instruction to your new node, you must add a def for that node
|
|
|
|
|
to the list in this file, with the appropriate type constraints. Look at
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>add</tt>, <tt>bswap</tt>, and <tt>fadd</tt> for examples.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li><tt>lib/Target/PowerPC/PPCInstrInfo.td</tt>:
|
|
|
|
|
Each target has a tablegen file that describes the target's instruction
|
|
|
|
|
set. For targets that use the DAGToDAG instruction selection framework,
|
|
|
|
|
add a pattern for your new node that uses one or more target nodes.
|
|
|
|
|
Documentation for this is a bit sparse right now, but there are several
|
|
|
|
|
decent examples. See the patterns for <tt>rotl</tt> in
