The inalloca attribute is designed to support passing C++ objects by
value in the Microsoft C++ ABI. It behaves the same as byval, except
that it always implies that the argument is in memory and that the bytes
are never copied. This attribute allows the caller to take the address
of an outgoing argument's memory and execute arbitrary code to store
into it.
This patch adds basic IR support, docs, and verification. It does not
attempt to implement any lowering or fix any possibly broken transforms.
When this patch lands, a complete description of this feature should
appear at http://llvm.org/docs/InAlloca.html .

They were out of place since the introduction of arbitrary precision integer

This also synchronizes the documentation to Types.h, so it refers to first class

In some case, it may be required to build LLVM in C++11 mode, as some the subprojects (like lldb) requires it.
This mimics the autoconf behaviour.
However, given the discussions on the switch to C++11 of the codebase, this behaviour should evolve to default to C++11 with some checks of the compiler capabilities.

This is the first step to fix pr17918.
It extends the .section directive a bit, inspired by what the ELF one looks
like. The problem with using linkonce is that given
.section foo
.linkonce....
.section foo
.linkonce
we would already have switched sections when getting to .linkonce. The cleanest
solution seems to be to add the comdat information in the .section itself.

Functions with 'optnone' must also have 'noinline' so they don't get

This is a follow-up to r194589. Aaron pointed out that building
libraries with /MT and using them in an application that uses a
different run-time library can be a bad idea.
Move the option to build with /MT behind a CMake option so it can be
turned on selectively, such as when building the toolchain installer.

linkonce_odr_auto_hide was in incomplete attempt to implement a way
for the linker to hide symbols that are known to be available in every
TU and whose addresses are not relevant for a particular DSO.
It was redundant in that it all its uses are equivalent to
linkonce_odr+unnamed_addr. Unlike those, it has never been connected
to clang or llvm's optimizers, so it was effectively dead.
Given that nothing produces it, this patch just nukes it
(other than the llvm-c enum value).

part of getting started with LLVM.
The LLVM getting started document is in woeful need of attention. I may
get to some of this, but some random notes for folks interested:
1) We need to separate the getting started steps for folks who are
interested in the core LLVM libs and nothing else, folks interested
in a nifty C++ toolchain and nothing else, and folks interested in
both.
2) We should include documentation for both release archives, svn, and
git in equal portion, and we should document all of the various
repositories of interest: llvm, clang, clang-tools-extra,
compiler-rt, lld, libcxx, test-suite.
3) We should document the CMake build. We should probably document the
CMake build first, and give a fall-back set of docs for the Makefile
build for the use cases where that is still the preferred solution.
This would more closely match the use cases that folks in the open
source community are likely to have, and would remove a point of
discrepancy between Linux, Windows, and Mac instructions.
4) Probably a ton of other modernization stuff that I've not thought of
here.
Anyways, if anyone at all is interested, please help clean up this
document. It is much needed.

This adds a llvm.copysign intrinsic; We already have Libfunc recognition for
copysign (which is turned into the FCOPYSIGN SDAG node). In order to
autovectorize calls to copysign in the loop vectorizer, we need a corresponding
intrinsic as well.
In addition to the expected changes to the language reference, the loop
vectorizer, BasicTTI, and the SDAG builder (the intrinsic is transformed into
an FCOPYSIGN node, just like the function call), this also adds FCOPYSIGN to a
few lists in LegalizeVector{Ops,Types} so that vector copysigns can be
expanded.
In TargetLoweringBase::initActions, I've made the default action for FCOPYSIGN
be Expand for vector types. This seems correct for all in-tree targets, and I
think is the right thing to do because, previously, there was no way to generate
vector-values FCOPYSIGN nodes (and most targets don't specify an action for
vector-typed FCOPYSIGN).
llvm-svn: 188728
All libm floating-point rounding functions, except for round(), had their own
ISD nodes. Recent PowerPC cores have an instruction for round(), and so here I'm
adding ISD::FROUND so that round() can be custom lowered as well.
For the most part, this is straightforward. I've added an intrinsic
and a matching ISD node just like those for nearbyint() and friends. The
SelectionDAG pattern I've named frnd (because ISD::FP_ROUND has already claimed
fround).
This will be used by the PowerPC backend in a follow-up commit.

This change makes test with RUN lines like
RUN: opt ... | FileCheck
fail if opt fails, even if it prints what FileCheck wants. Enabling this
found some interesting cases of broken tests that were not being noticed
because opt (or some other tool) was crashing late.
Pipefail is used when the shell supports it or when using the internal
python based tester.

Back in r140220 we removed the autoconf code that would set LLVMCC_OPTION

CHECK-LABEL is meant to be used in place on CHECK on lines containing identifiers or other unique labels (they need not actually be labels in the source or output language, though.) This is used to break up the input stream into separate blocks delineated by CHECK-LABEL lines, each of which is checked independently. This greatly improves the accuracy of errors and fix-it hints in many cases, and allows for FileCheck to recover from errors in one block by continuing to subsequent blocks.
Some tests will be converted to use this new directive in forthcoming patches.

"Writing an LLVM Compiler Backend" can be misinterpreted as meaning

This patch modifies TableGen to generate a function in
${TARGET}GenInstrInfo.inc called getNamedOperandIdx(), which can be used
to look up indices for operands based on their names.
In order to activate this feature for an instruction, you must set the
UseNamedOperandTable bit.
For example, if you have an instruction like:
def ADD : TargetInstr <(outs GPR:$dst), (ins GPR:$src0, GPR:$src1)>;
You can look up the operand indices using the new function, like this:
Target::getNamedOperandIdx(Target::ADD, Target::OpName::dst) => 0
Target::getNamedOperandIdx(Target::ADD, Target::OpName::src0) => 1
Target::getNamedOperandIdx(Target::ADD, Target::OpName::src1) => 2
The operand names are case sensitive, so $dst and $DST are considered
different operands.
This change is useful for R600 which has instructions with a large number
of operands, many of which model single bit instruction configuration
values. These configuration bits are common across most instructions,
but may have a different operand index depending on the instruction type.
It is useful to have a convenient way to look up the operand indices,
so these bits can be generically set on any instruction.
llvm-svn: 184879
Archive files (.a) can have a symbol table indicating which object
files in them define which symbols. The purpose of this symbol table
is to speed up linking by allowing the linker the read only the .o
files it is actually going to use instead of having to parse every
object's symbol table.
LLVM's archive library currently supports a LLVM specific format for
such table. It is hard to see any value in that now that llvm-ld is
gone:
* System linkers don't use it: GNU ar uses the same plugin as the
linker to create archive files with a regular index. The OS X ar
creates no symbol table for IL files, I assume the linker just parses
all IL files.
* It doesn't interact well with archives having both IL and native objects.
* We probably don't want to be responsible for yet another archive
format variant.
This patch then:
* Removes support for creating and reading such index from lib/Archive.
* Remove llvm-ranlib, since there is nothing left for it to do.
We should in the future add support for regular indexes to llvm-ar for
both native and IL objects. When we do that, llvm-ranlib should be
reimplemented as a symlink to llvm-ar, as it is equivalent to "ar s".

Summary:
This patch allows using \n inside long help strings for command-line
options, so that all lines are equally indented. This is not a perfect solution,
as we don't (and probably don't want to) know about terminal width, but it
allows to format long help strings somehow readable without manually padding
them with spaces. A motivating example is -help output from clang-format (source
code in tools/clang-format/ClangFormat.cpp, see cl options offset, length,
style, and dump-config).
