This classof() is effectively saying that a MachineCodeEmitter "is-a"
JITEmitter, but JITEmitter is in fact a descendant of
MachineCodeEmitter, so this is not semantically correct. Consequently,
none of the assertions that rely on these classof() actualy check
anything.
Remove the RTTI (which didn't actually check anything) and use
static_cast<> instead.
Post-Mortem Bug Analysis
========================
Cause of the bug
----------------
r55022 appears to be the source of the classof() and assertions removed
by this commit. It aimed at removing some dynamic_cast<> that were
solely in the assertions. A typical diff hunk from that commit looked
like:
- assert(dynamic_cast<JITEmitter*>(MCE) && "Unexpected MCE?");
- JITEmitter *JE = static_cast<JITEmitter*>(getCodeEmitter());
+ assert(isa<JITEmitter>(MCE) && "Unexpected MCE?");
+ JITEmitter *JE = cast<JITEmitter>(getCodeEmitter());
Hence, the source of the bug then seems to be an attempt to replace
dynamic_cast<> with LLVM-style RTTI without properly setting up the
class hierarchy for LLVM-style RTTI. The bug therefore appears to be
simply a "thinko".
What initially indicated the presence of the bug
------------------------------------------------
After implementing automatic upcasting for isa<>, classof() functions of
the form
static bool classof(const Foo *) { return true; }
were removed, since they only serve the purpose of optimizing
statically-OK upcasts. A subsequent recompilation triggered a build
failure on the isa<> tests within the removed asserts, since the
automatic upcasting (correctly) failed to substitute this classof().
Key to pinning down the root cause of the bug
---------------------------------------------
After being alerted to the presence of the bug, some thought about the
semantics which were being asserted by the buggy classof() revealed that
it was incorrect.
How the bug could have been prevented
-------------------------------------
This bug could have been prevented by better documentation for how to
set up LLVM-style RTTI. This should be solved by the recently added
documentation HowToSetUpLLVMStyleRTTI. However, this bug suggests that
the documentation should clearly explain the contract that classof()
must fulfill. The HowToSetUpLLVMStyleRTTI already explains this
contract, but it is a little tucked away. A future patch will expand
that explanation and make it more prominent.
There does not appear to be a simple way to have the compiler prevent
this bug, since fundamentally it boiled down to a spurious classof()
where the programmer made an erroneous statement about the conversion.
This suggests that perhaps the interface to LLVM-style RTTI of classof()
is not the best. There is already some evidence for this, since in a
number of places Clang has classof() forward to classofKind(Kind K)
which evaluates the cast in terms of just the Kind. This could probably
be generalized to simply a `static const Kind MyKind;` field in leaf
classes and `static const Kind firstMyKind, lastMyKind;` for non-leaf
classes, and have the rest of the work be done inside Casting.h,
assuming that the Kind enum is laid out in a preorder traversal of the
inheritance tree.

The assumption that the target address for the relocation will always be
sizeof(intptr_t) and will always contain an addend for the relocation

IntItem cleanup. IntItemBase, IntItemConstantIntImp and IntItem merged into IntItem. All arithmetic operators was propogated from APInt. Also added comparison operators <,>,<=,>=. Currently you will find set of macros that propogates operators from APInt to IntItem in the beginning of IntegerSubset. Note that THESE MACROS WILL REMOVED after all passes will case-ranges compatible. Also note that these macros much smaller pain that something like this:
if (V->getValue().ugt(AnotherV->getValue()) { ... }
These changes made IntItem full featured integer object. It allows to make IntegerSubset class generic (move out all ConstantInt references inside and add unit-tests) in next commits.
llvm-svn: 157810
Implemented IntItem - the wrapper around APInt. Why not to use APInt item directly right now?
1. It will very difficult to implement case ranges as series of small patches. We got several large and heavy patches. Each patch will about 90-120 kb. If you replace ConstantInt with APInt in SwitchInst you will need to changes at the same time all Readers,Writers and absolutely all passes that uses SwitchInst.
2. We can implement APInt pool inside and save memory space. E.g. we use several switches that works with 256 bit items (switch on signatures, or strings). We can avoid value duplicates in this case.
3. IntItem can be easyly easily replaced with APInt.
4. Currenly we can interpret IntItem both as ConstantInt and as APInt. It allows to provide SwitchInst methods that works with ConstantInt for non-updated passes.
Why I need it right now? Currently I need to update SimplifyCFG pass (EqualityComparisons). I need to work with APInts directly a lot, so peaces of code
ConstantInt *V = ...;
if (V->getValue().ugt(AnotherV->getValue()) {
...
}
will look awful. Much more better this way:
IntItem V = ConstantIntVal->getValue();
if (AnotherV < V) {
}
Of course any reviews are welcome.
P.S.: I'm also going to rename ConstantRangesSet to IntegersSubset, and CRSBuilder to IntegersSubsetMapping (allows to map individual subsets of integers to the BasicBlocks).
Since in future these classes will founded on APInt, it will possible to use them in more generic ways.

llvm-svn: 154610
1. The main works will made in the RuntimeDyLdImpl with uses the ObjectFile class. RuntimeDyLdMachO and RuntimeDyLdELF now only parses relocations and resolve it. This is allows to make improvements of the RuntimeDyLd more easily. In addition the support for COFF can be easily added.
2. Added ARM relocations to RuntimeDyLdELF.
3. Added support for stub functions for the ARM, allowing to do a long branch.
4. Added support for external functions that are not loaded from the object files, but can be loaded from external libraries. Now MCJIT can correctly execute the code containing the printf, putc, and etc.
5. The sections emitted instead functions, thanks Jim Grosbach. MemoryManager.startFunctionBody() and MemoryManager.endFunctionBody() have been removed.
6. MCJITMemoryManager.allocateDataSection() and MCJITMemoryManager. allocateCodeSection() used JMM->allocateSpace() instead of JMM->allocateCodeSection() and JMM->allocateDataSection(), because I got an error: "Cannot allocate an allocated block!" with object file contains more than one code or data sections.

(and hopefully on Windows). The bots have been down most of the day
because of this, and it's not clear to me what all will be required to
fix it.
The commits started with r153205, then r153207, r153208, and r153221.
The first commit seems to be the real culprit, but I couldn't revert
a smaller number of patches.
When resubmitting, r153207 and r153208 should be folded into r153205,
they were simple build fixes.

relocations (i.e., pieces of data whose addresses
are referred to elsewhere in the binary image) and
update the references when the section containing
the relocations moves. The way this works is that
there is a map from section IDs to lists of
relocations.
Because the relocations are associated with the
section containing the data being referred to, they
are updated only when the target moves. However,
many data references are relative and also depend
on the location of the referrer.
To solve this problem, I introduced a new data
structure, Referrer, which simply contains the
section being referred to and the index of the
relocation in that section. These referrers are
associated with the source containing the
reference that needs to be updated, so now
regardless of which end of the relocation moves,
the relocation will now be updated correctly.

Renamed methods caseBegin, caseEnd and caseDefault with case_begin, case_end, and case_default.
Added some notes relative to case iterators.
llvm-svn: 152532
http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/llvm-commits/Week-of-Mon-20120130/136146.html
Implemented CaseIterator and it solves almost all described issues: we don't need to mix operand/case/successor indexing anymore. Base iterator class is implemented as a template since it may be initialized either from "const SwitchInst*" or from "SwitchInst*".
ConstCaseIt is just a read-only iterator.
CaseIt is read-write iterator; it allows to change case successor and case value.
Usage of iterator allows totally remove resolveXXXX methods. All indexing convertions done automatically inside the iterator's getters.
Main way of iterator usage looks like this:
SwitchInst *SI = ... // intialize it somehow
for (SwitchInst::CaseIt i = SI->caseBegin(), e = SI->caseEnd(); i != e; ++i) {
BasicBlock *BB = i.getCaseSuccessor();
ConstantInt *V = i.getCaseValue();
// Do something.
}
If you want to convert case number to TerminatorInst successor index, just use getSuccessorIndex iterator's method.
If you want initialize iterator from TerminatorInst successor index, use CaseIt::fromSuccessorIndex(...) method.
There are also related changes in llvm-clients: klee and clang.

code that will be relocated into another memory space.
Now when relocations are resolved, the address of
the relocation in the host memory (where the JIT is)
is passed separately from the address that the
relocation will be at in the target memory (where
the code will run).

The purpose of refactoring is to hide operand roles from SwitchInst user (programmer). If you want to play with operands directly, probably you will need lower level methods than SwitchInst ones (TerminatorInst or may be User). After this patch we can reorganize SwitchInst operands and successors as we want.
What was done:
1. Changed semantics of index inside the getCaseValue method:
getCaseValue(0) means "get first case", not a condition. Use getCondition() if you want to resolve the condition. I propose don't mix SwitchInst case indexing with low level indexing (TI successors indexing, User's operands indexing), since it may be dangerous.
2. By the same reason findCaseValue(ConstantInt*) returns actual number of case value. 0 means first case, not default. If there is no case with given value, ErrorIndex will returned.
3. Added getCaseSuccessor method. I propose to avoid usage of TerminatorInst::getSuccessor if you want to resolve case successor BB. Use getCaseSuccessor instead, since internal SwitchInst organization of operands/successors is hidden and may be changed in any moment.
4. Added resolveSuccessorIndex and resolveCaseIndex. The main purpose of these methods is to see how case successors are really mapped in TerminatorInst.
4.1 "resolveSuccessorIndex" was created if you need to level down from SwitchInst to TerminatorInst. It returns TerminatorInst's successor index for given case successor.
4.2 "resolveCaseIndex" converts low level successors index to case index that curresponds to the given successor.
Note: There are also related compatability fix patches for dragonegg, klee, llvm-gcc-4.0, llvm-gcc-4.2, safecode, clang.
