These linkages were introduced some time ago, but it was never very
clear what exactly their semantics were or what they should be used
for. Some investigation found these uses:
* utf-16 strings in clang.
* non-unnamed_addr strings produced by the sanitizers.
It turns out they were just working around a more fundamental problem.
For some sections a MachO linker needs a symbol in order to split the
section into atoms, and llvm had no idea that was the case. I fixed
that in r201700 and it is now safe to use the private linkage. When
the object ends up in a section that requires symbols, llvm will use a
'l' prefix instead of a 'L' prefix and things just work.
With that, these linkages were already dead, but there was a potential
future user in the objc metadata information. I am still looking at
CGObjcMac.cpp, but at this point I am convinced that linker_private
and linker_private_weak are not what they need.
The objc uses are currently split in
* Regular symbols (no '\01' prefix). LLVM already directly provides
whatever semantics they need.
* Uses of a private name (start with "\01L" or "\01l") and private
linkage. We can drop the "\01L" and "\01l" prefixes as soon as llvm
agrees with clang on L being ok or not for a given section. I have two
patches in code review for this.
* Uses of private name and weak linkage.
The last case is the one that one could think would fit one of these
linkages. That is not the case. The semantics are
* the linker will merge these symbol by *name*.
* the linker will hide them in the final DSO.
Given that the merging is done by name, any of the private (or
internal) linkages would be a bad match. They allow llvm to rename the
symbols, and that is really not what we want. From the llvm point of
view, these objects should really be (linkonce|weak)(_odr)?.
For now, just keeping the "\01l" prefix is probably the best for these
symbols. If we one day want to have a more direct support in llvm,
IMHO what we should add is not a linkage, it is just a hidden_symbol
attribute. It would be applicable to multiple linkages. For example,
on weak it would produce the current behavior we have for objc
metadata. On internal, it would be equivalent to private (and we
should then remove private).

operator* on the by-operand iterators to return a MachineOperand& rather than
a MachineInstr&. At this point they almost behave like normal iterators!
Again, this requires making some existing loops more verbose, but should pave
the way for the big range-based for-loop cleanups in the future.
llvm-svn: 203865
When initializing an iterator, we may have to step forward to find the first
operand that passes the current filter set. When doing that stepping, we should
always step one operand at a time, even if this is by-instr or by-bundle iterator,
as we're stepping between invalid values, so the stride doesn't make sense there.
Fixes a miscompilation of YASM on Win32 reported by Hans Wennborg. I have not
yet figured out how to reduce it to something testcase-able, because it's sensitive

There aren't /that/ many files, and we are already using various maps
and other standard containers that don't use MCContext's allocator to
store these values, so this doesn't seem to be critical and simplifies
the design (I'll be moving construction out of MCContext shortly so it'd
be annoying to have to pass the allocator around to allocate these
things... and we'll have non-MCContext users (debug_line.dwo) shortly)

This patch fixes the bug in peephole optimization that folds a load which defines one vreg into the one and only use of that vreg. With debug info, a DBG_VALUE that referenced the vreg considered to be a use, preventing the optimization. The fix is to ignore DBG_VALUE's during the optimization, and undef a DBG_VALUE that references a vreg that gets removed.

This changes the implementation of local directional labels to use a dedicated
map. With that it can then just use CreateTempSymbol, which is what the rest
of MC uses.
CreateTempSymbol doesn't do a great job at making sure the names are unique
(or being efficient when the names are not needed), but that should probably
be fixed in a followup patch.
This fixes pr18928.

This replaces several "compile unit ID -> thing" mappings in favor of
one mapping from CUID to the whole line table structure (files,
directories, and lines).
This is another step along the way to refactoring out reusable
components of line table handling for use when generating debug_line.dwo
for fission type units.
Also, might be a good basis to fold some of this handling down into
MCStreamers to avoid the special case of "One line table when doing asm
printing, line table per CU otherwise" by building it into the different
MCStreamer implementations.

This is a follow-up to r203635. Saleem pointed out that since symbolic register
names are much easier to read, it would be good if we could turn them off only
when we really need to because we're using an external assembler.

Summary:
This adds ObjectFile::section_iterator_range, that allows to write
range-based for-loops running over all sections of a given file.
Several files from lib/ are converted to the new interface. Similar fixes
should be applied to a variety of llvm-* tools.

order to use the single assignment. That's probably worth doing for
a lot of these types anyways as they may have non-trivial moves and so
getting copy elision in more places seems worthwhile.
I've tried to add some tests that actually catch this mistake, and one
of the types is now well tested but the others' tests still fail to
catch this. I'll keep working on tests, but this gets the core pattern
right.

There are currently two schemes for mapping instruction operands to
instruction-format variables for generating the instruction encoders and
decoders for the assembler and disassembler respectively: a) to map by name and
b) to map by position.
In the long run, we'd like to remove the position-based scheme and use only
name-based mapping. Unfortunately, the name-based scheme currently cannot deal
with complex operands (those with suboperands), and so we currently must use
the position-based scheme for those. On the other hand, the position-based
scheme cannot deal with (register) variables that are split into multiple
ranges. An upcoming commit to the PowerPC backend (adding VSX support) will
require this capability. While we could teach the position-based scheme to
handle that, since we'd like to move away from the position-based mapping
generally, it seems silly to teach it new tricks now. What makes more sense is
to allow for partial transitioning: use the name-based mapping when possible,
and only use the position-based scheme when necessary.
Now the problem is that mixing the two sensibly was not possible: the
position-based mapping would map based on position, but would not skip those
variables that were mapped by name. Instead, the two sets of assignments would
overlap. However, I cannot currently change the current behavior, because there
are some backends that rely on it [I think mistakenly, but I'll send a message
to llvmdev about that]. So I've added a new TableGen bit variable:
noNamedPositionallyEncodedOperands, that can be used to cause the
position-based mapping to skip variables mapped by name.

for use with C++11 range-based for-loops.
The gist of phase 1 is to remove the skipInstruction() and skipBundle()
methods from these iterators, instead splitting each iterator into a version
that walks operands, a version that walks instructions, and a version that
walks bundles. This has the result of making some "clever" loops in lib/CodeGen
more verbose, but also makes their iterator invalidation characteristics much
more obvious to the casual reader. (Making them concise again in the future is a
good motivating case for a pre-incrementing range adapter!)
Phase 2 of this undertaking with consist of removing the getOperand() method,
and changing operator*() of the operand-walker to return a MachineOperand&. At
that point, it should be possible to add range views for them that work as one
might expect.
llvm-svn: 203757
This makes the mapping consistent with other CU->X mappings in the
MCContext, helping pave the way to refactor all these values into a
single data structure per CU and thus a single map.
I haven't renamed the data structure as that would make the patch churn
even higher (the MCLineSection name no longer makes sense, as this
structure now contains lines for multiple sections covered by a single
CU, rather than lines for a single section in multiple CUs) and further
refactorings will follow that may remove this type entirely.
For convenience, I also gave the MCLineSection value semantics so we
didn't have to do the lazy construction, manual delete, etc.
(& for those playing at home, refactoring the line printing into a
single data structure will eventually alow that data structure to be
reused to own the debug_line.dwo line table used for type unit file name
resolution)

This provides a library to work with the instrumentation based

There's a bit of duplicated "magic" code in opt.cpp and Clang's CodeGen that
computes the inliner threshold from opt level and size opt level.
This patch moves the code to a function that lives alongside the inliner itself,
providing a convenient overload to the inliner creation.
A separate patch can be committed to Clang to use this once it's committed to
LLVM. Standalone tools that use the inlining pass can also avoid duplicating
this code and fearing it will go out of sync.
Note: this patch also restructures the conditinal logic of the computation to
be cleaner.

The function hasReliableSymbolDifference had exactly one use in the MachO
writer. It is also only true for X86_64. In fact, the comments refers to
"Darwin x86_64" and everything else, so this makes the code match the

If this is to be abstracted again, it should be a property of
TargetObjectWriter, like useAggressiveSymbolFolding.

Before this patch the unix code for creating hardlinks was unused. The code
for creating symbolic links was implemented in lib/Support/LockFileManager.cpp
and the code for creating hard links in lib/Support/*/Path.inc.
The only use we have for these is in LockFileManager.cpp and it can use both
soft and hard links. Just have a create_link function that creates one or the
other depending on the platform.

The syntax for "cmpxchg" should now look something like:
cmpxchg i32* %addr, i32 42, i32 3 acquire monotonic
where the second ordering argument gives the required semantics in the case
that no exchange takes place. It should be no stronger than the first ordering
constraint and cannot be either "release" or "acq_rel" (since no store will

optimize a call to a llvm intrinsic to something that invovles a call to a C
library call, make sure it sets the right calling convention on the call.
e.g.
extern double pow(double, double);
double t(double x) {
return pow(10, x);
}
Compiles to something like this for AAPCS-VFP:
define arm_aapcs_vfpcc double @t(double %x) #0 {
entry:
%0 = call double @llvm.pow.f64(double 1.000000e+01, double %x)
ret double %0
}
declare double @llvm.pow.f64(double, double) #1
Simplify libcall (part of instcombine) will turn the above into:
define arm_aapcs_vfpcc double @t(double %x) #0 {
entry:
%__exp10 = call double @__exp10(double %x) #1
ret double %__exp10
}
declare double @__exp10(double)
The pre-instcombine code works because calls to LLVM builtins are special.
Instruction selection will chose the right calling convention for the call.
However, the code after instcombine is wrong. The call to __exp10 will use
the C calling convention.
I can think of 3 options to fix this.
1. Make "C" calling convention just work since the target should know what CC
is being used.
This doesn't work because each function can use different CC with the "pcs"
attribute.
2. Have Clang add the right CC keyword on the calls to LLVM builtin.
This will work but it doesn't match the LLVM IR specification which states
these are "Standard C Library Intrinsics".
3. Fix simplify libcall so the resulting calls to the C routines will have the
proper CC keyword. e.g.
%__exp10 = call arm_aapcs_vfpcc double @__exp10(double %x) #1
This works and is the solution I implemented here.
Both solutions #2 and #3 would work. After carefully considering the pros and
cons, I decided to implement #3 for the following reasons.
1. It doesn't change the "spec" of the intrinsics.
2. It's a self-contained fix.
There are a couple of potential downsides.
1. There could be other places in the optimizer that is broken in the same way
that's not addressed by this.
2. There could be other calling conventions that need to be propagated by
simplify-libcall that's not handled.
But for now, this is the fix that I'm most comfortable with.
