<p>Welcome to Chapter 3 of the "<a href="index.html">Implementing a language
|
|
with LLVM</a>" tutorial. This chapter shows you how to transform the <a
|
|
href="OCamlLangImpl2.html">Abstract Syntax Tree</a>, built in Chapter 2, into
|
|
LLVM IR. This will teach you a little bit about how LLVM does things, as well
|
|
as demonstrate how easy it is to use. It's much more work to build a lexer and
|
|
parser than it is to generate LLVM IR code. :)
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><b>Please note</b>: the code in this chapter and later require LLVM 2.3 or
|
|
LLVM SVN to work. LLVM 2.2 and before will not work with it.</p>

In order to generate LLVM IR, we want some simple setup to get started. First
|
|
we define virtual code generation (codegen) methods in each AST class:</p>
|
|
|
|
<div class="doc_code">
|
|
<pre>
|
|
let rec codegen_expr = function
|
|
| Ast.Number n -> ...
|
|
| Ast.Variable name -> ...
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<p>The <tt>Codegen.codegen_expr</tt> function says to emit IR for that AST node
|
|
along with all the things it depends on, and they all return an LLVM Value
|
|
object. "Value" is the class used to represent a "<a
|
|
href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_single_assignment_form">Static Single
|
|
Assignment (SSA)</a> register" or "SSA value" in LLVM. The most distinct aspect
|
|
of SSA values is that their value is computed as the related instruction
|
|
executes, and it does not get a new value until (and if) the instruction
|
|
re-executes. In other words, there is no way to "change" an SSA value. For
|
|
more information, please read up on <a
|
|
href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_single_assignment_form">Static Single
|
|
Assignment</a> - the concepts are really quite natural once you grok them.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The
|
|
second thing we want is an "Error" exception like we used for the parser, which
|
|
will be used to report errors found during code generation (for example, use of
|
|
an undeclared parameter):</p>
|
|
|
|
<div class="doc_code">
|
|
<pre>
|
|
exception Error of string
|
|
|
|
let the_module = create_module "my cool jit"
|
|
let builder = builder ()
|
|
let named_values:(string, llvalue) Hashtbl.t = Hashtbl.create 10
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<p>The static variables will be used during code generation.
|
|
<tt>Codgen.the_module</tt> is the LLVM construct that contains all of the
|
|
functions and global variables in a chunk of code. In many ways, it is the
|
|
top-level structure that the LLVM IR uses to contain code.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The <tt>Codegen.builder</tt> object is a helper object that makes it easy to
|
|
generate LLVM instructions. Instances of the <a
|
|
href="http://llvm.org/doxygen/IRBuilder_8h-source.html"><tt>IRBuilder</tt></a>
|
|
class keep track of the current place to insert instructions and has methods to
|
|
create new instructions.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The <tt>Codegen.named_values</tt> map keeps track of which values are defined
|
|
in the current scope and what their LLVM representation is. (In other words, it
|
|
is a symbol table for the code). In this form of Kaleidoscope, the only things
|
|
that can be referenced are function parameters. As such, function parameters
|
|
will be in this map when generating code for their function body.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
With these basics in place, we can start talking about how to generate code for
|
|
each expression. Note that this assumes that the <tt>Codgen.builder</tt> has
|
|
been set up to generate code <em>into</em> something. For now, we'll assume
|
|
that this has already been done, and we'll just use it to emit code.</p>

<p>Generating LLVM code for expression nodes is very straightforward: less
|
|
than 30 lines of commented code for all four of our expression nodes. First
|
|
we'll do numeric literals:</p>
|
|
|
|
<div class="doc_code">
|
|
<pre>
|
|
| Ast.Number n -> const_float double_type n
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<p>In the LLVM IR, numeric constants are represented with the
|
|
<tt>ConstantFP</tt> class, which holds the numeric value in an <tt>APFloat</tt>
|
|
internally (<tt>APFloat</tt> has the capability of holding floating point
|
|
constants of <em>A</em>rbitrary <em>P</em>recision). This code basically just
|
|
creates and returns a <tt>ConstantFP</tt>. Note that in the LLVM IR
|
|
that constants are all uniqued together and shared. For this reason, the API
|
|
uses "the foo::get(..)" idiom instead of "new foo(..)" or "foo::Create(..)".</p>
|
|
|
|
<div class="doc_code">
|
|
<pre>
|
|
| Ast.Variable name ->
|
|
(try Hashtbl.find named_values name with
|
|
| Not_found -> raise (Error "unknown variable name"))
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<p>References to variables are also quite simple using LLVM. In the simple
|
|
version of Kaleidoscope, we assume that the variable has already been emited
|
|
somewhere and its value is available. In practice, the only values that can be
|
|
in the <tt>Codegen.named_values</tt> map are function arguments. This code
|
|
simply checks to see that the specified name is in the map (if not, an unknown
|
|
variable is being referenced) and returns the value for it. In future chapters,
|
|
we'll add support for <a href="LangImpl5.html#for">loop induction variables</a>
|
|
in the symbol table, and for <a href="LangImpl7.html#localvars">local
|
|
variables</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<div class="doc_code">
|
|
<pre>
|
|
| Ast.Binary (op, lhs, rhs) ->
|
|
let lhs_val = codegen_expr lhs in
|
|
let rhs_val = codegen_expr rhs in
|
|
begin
|
|
match op with
|
|
| '+' -> build_add lhs_val rhs_val "addtmp" builder
|
|

|

let i = build_fcmp Fcmp.Ult lhs_val rhs_val "cmptmp" builder in

|
|
end
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<p>Binary operators start to get more interesting. The basic idea here is that
|
|
we recursively emit code for the left-hand side of the expression, then the
|
|
right-hand side, then we compute the result of the binary expression. In this
|
|
code, we do a simple switch on the opcode to create the right LLVM instruction.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>In the example above, the LLVM builder class is starting to show its value.
|
|
IRBuilder knows where to insert the newly created instruction, all you have to
|
|
do is specify what instruction to create (e.g. with <tt>Llvm.create_add</tt>),
|
|
which operands to use (<tt>lhs</tt> and <tt>rhs</tt> here) and optionally
|
|
provide a name for the generated instruction.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>One nice thing about LLVM is that the name is just a hint. For instance, if
|
|
the code above emits multiple "addtmp" variables, LLVM will automatically
|
|
provide each one with an increasing, unique numeric suffix. Local value names
|
|
for instructions are purely optional, but it makes it much easier to read the
|
|
IR dumps.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><a href="../LangRef.html#instref">LLVM instructions</a> are constrained by
|
|
strict rules: for example, the Left and Right operators of
|
|
an <a href="../LangRef.html#i_add">add instruction</a> must have the same
|
|
type, and the result type of the add must match the operand types. Because
|
|
all values in Kaleidoscope are doubles, this makes for very simple code for add,
|
|
sub and mul.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>On the other hand, LLVM specifies that the <a
|
|
href="../LangRef.html#i_fcmp">fcmp instruction</a> always returns an 'i1' value
|
|
(a one bit integer). The problem with this is that Kaleidoscope wants the value to be a 0.0 or 1.0 value. In order to get these semantics, we combine the fcmp instruction with
|
|
a <a href="../LangRef.html#i_uitofp">uitofp instruction</a>. This instruction
|
|
converts its input integer into a floating point value by treating the input
|
|
as an unsigned value. In contrast, if we used the <a
|
|
href="../LangRef.html#i_sitofp">sitofp instruction</a>, the Kaleidoscope '<'
|
|
operator would return 0.0 and -1.0, depending on the input value.</p>
|
|
|
|
<div class="doc_code">
|
|
<pre>
|
|
| Ast.Call (callee, args) ->
|
|
(* Look up the name in the module table. *)
|

</div>
|
|
|
|
<p>Code generation for function calls is quite straightforward with LLVM. The
|
|
code above initially does a function name lookup in the LLVM Module's symbol
|
|
table. Recall that the LLVM Module is the container that holds all of the
|
|
functions we are JIT'ing. By giving each function the same name as what the
|
|
user specifies, we can use the LLVM symbol table to resolve function names for
|
|
us.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Once we have the function to call, we recursively codegen each argument that
|
|
is to be passed in, and create an LLVM <a href="../LangRef.html#i_call">call
|
|
instruction</a>. Note that LLVM uses the native C calling conventions by
|
|
default, allowing these calls to also call into standard library functions like
|
|
"sin" and "cos", with no additional effort.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>This wraps up our handling of the four basic expressions that we have so far
|
|
in Kaleidoscope. Feel free to go in and add some more. For example, by
|
|
browsing the <a href="../LangRef.html">LLVM language reference</a> you'll find
|
|
several other interesting instructions that are really easy to plug into our
|
|
basic framework.</p>

|
<p>Code generation for prototypes and functions must handle a number of
|
|
details, which make their code less beautiful than expression code
|
|
generation, but allows us to illustrate some important points. First, lets
|
|
talk about code generation for prototypes: they are used both for function
|
|
bodies and external function declarations. The code starts with:</p>
|
|
|
|
<div class="doc_code">
|
|
<pre>
|
|
let codegen_proto = function
|
|
| Ast.Prototype (name, args) ->
|
|
(* Make the function type: double(double,double) etc. *)
|
|
let doubles = Array.make (Array.length args) double_type in
|
|
let ft = function_type double_type doubles in
|
|
let f =
|
|
match lookup_function name the_module with
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<p>This code packs a lot of power into a few lines. Note first that this
|
|
function returns a "Function*" instead of a "Value*" (although at the moment
|
|
they both are modeled by <tt>llvalue</tt> in ocaml). Because a "prototype"
|
|
really talks about the external interface for a function (not the value computed
|
|
by an expression), it makes sense for it to return the LLVM Function it
|
|
corresponds to when codegen'd.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The call to <tt>Llvm.function_type</tt> creates the <tt>Llvm.llvalue</tt>
|
|
that should be used for a given Prototype. Since all function arguments in
|
|
Kaleidoscope are of type double, the first line creates a vector of "N" LLVM
|
|
double types. It then uses the <tt>Llvm.function_type</tt> method to create a
|
|
function type that takes "N" doubles as arguments, returns one double as a
|
|
result, and that is not vararg (that uses the function
|
|
<tt>Llvm.var_arg_function_type</tt>). Note that Types in LLVM are uniqued just
|
|
like <tt>Constant</tt>s are, so you don't "new" a type, you "get" it.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The final line above checks if the function has already been defined in
|
|
<tt>Codegen.the_module</tt>. If not, we will create it.</p>
|
|
|
|
<div class="doc_code">
|
|
<pre>
|
|
| None -> declare_function name ft the_module
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<p>This indicates the type and name to use, as well as which module to insert
|
|
into. By default we assume a function has
|
|
<tt>Llvm.Linkage.ExternalLinkage</tt>. "<a href="LangRef.html#linkage">external
|
|
linkage</a>" means that the function may be defined outside the current module
|
|
and/or that it is callable by functions outside the module. The "<tt>name</tt>"
|
|
passed in is the name the user specified: this name is registered in
|
|
"<tt>Codegen.the_module</tt>"s symbol table, which is used by the function call
|
|
code above.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>In Kaleidoscope, I choose to allow redefinitions of functions in two cases:
|
|
first, we want to allow 'extern'ing a function more than once, as long as the
|
|
prototypes for the externs match (since all arguments have the same type, we
|
|
just have to check that the number of arguments match). Second, we want to
|
|
allow 'extern'ing a function and then definining a body for it. This is useful
|
|
when defining mutually recursive functions.</p>
|
|
|
|
<div class="doc_code">
|
|
<pre>
|
|
(* If 'f' conflicted, there was already something named 'name'. If it
|
|
* has a body, don't allow redefinition or reextern. *)
|
|
| Some f ->
|
|
(* If 'f' already has a body, reject this. *)
|
|
if Array.length (basic_blocks f) == 0 then () else
|
|
raise (Error "redefinition of function");
|
|
|
|
(* If 'f' took a different number of arguments, reject. *)
|
|
if Array.length (params f) == Array.length args then () else
|
|
raise (Error "redefinition of function with different # args");
|
|
f
|
|
in
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<p>In order to verify the logic above, we first check to see if the pre-existing
|
|
function is "empty". In this case, empty means that it has no basic blocks in
|
|
it, which means it has no body. If it has no body, it is a forward
|
|
declaration. Since we don't allow anything after a full definition of the
|
|
function, the code rejects this case. If the previous reference to a function
|
|
was an 'extern', we simply verify that the number of arguments for that
|
|
definition and this one match up. If not, we emit an error.</p>
|
|
|
|
<div class="doc_code">
|
|
<pre>
|
|
(* Set names for all arguments. *)
|
|
Array.iteri (fun i a ->
|
|
let n = args.(i) in
|
|
set_value_name n a;
|
|
Hashtbl.add named_values n a;
|
|
) (params f);
|
|
f
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<p>The last bit of code for prototypes loops over all of the arguments in the
|
|
function, setting the name of the LLVM Argument objects to match, and registering
|
|
the arguments in the <tt>Codegen.named_values</tt> map for future use by the
|
|
<tt>Ast.Variable</tt> variant. Once this is set up, it returns the Function
|
|
object to the caller. Note that we don't check for conflicting
|
|
argument names here (e.g. "extern foo(a b a)"). Doing so would be very
|
|
straight-forward with the mechanics we have already used above.</p>
|
|
|
|
<div class="doc_code">
|
|
<pre>
|
|
let codegen_func = function
|
|
| Ast.Function (proto, body) ->
|
|
Hashtbl.clear named_values;
|
|
let the_function = codegen_proto proto in
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<p>Code generation for function definitions starts out simply enough: we just
|
|
codegen the prototype (Proto) and verify that it is ok. We then clear out the
|
|
<tt>Codegen.named_values</tt> map to make sure that there isn't anything in it
|
|
from the last function we compiled. Code generation of the prototype ensures
|
|
that there is an LLVM Function object that is ready to go for us.</p>
|
|
|
|
<div class="doc_code">
|

(* Create a new basic block to start insertion into. *)

|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<p>Now we get to the point where the <tt>Codegen.builder</tt> is set up. The
|
|
first line creates a new
|
|
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_block">basic block</a> (named
|
|
"entry"), which is inserted into <tt>the_function</tt>. The second line then
|
|
tells the builder that new instructions should be inserted into the end of the
|
|
new basic block. Basic blocks in LLVM are an important part of functions that
|
|
define the <a
|
|
href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_flow_graph">Control Flow Graph</a>.
|
|
Since we don't have any control flow, our functions will only contain one
|
|
block at this point. We'll fix this in <a href="OCamlLangImpl5.html">Chapter
|
|
5</a> :).</p>

let _ = build_ret ret_val builder in

(* Validate the generated code, checking for consistency. *)
|
|
Llvm_analysis.assert_valid_function the_function;
|
|
|
|
the_function
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<p>Once the insertion point is set up, we call the <tt>Codegen.codegen_func</tt>
|
|
method for the root expression of the function. If no error happens, this emits
|
|
code to compute the expression into the entry block and returns the value that
|
|
was computed. Assuming no error, we then create an LLVM <a
|
|
href="../LangRef.html#i_ret">ret instruction</a>, which completes the function.
|
|
Once the function is built, we call
|
|
<tt>Llvm_analysis.assert_valid_function</tt>, which is provided by LLVM. This
|
|
function does a variety of consistency checks on the generated code, to
|
|
determine if our compiler is doing everything right. Using this is important:
|
|
it can catch a lot of bugs. Once the function is finished and validated, we
|
|
return it.</p>

<p>The only piece left here is handling of the error case. For simplicity, we
|
|
handle this by merely deleting the function we produced with the
|
|
<tt>Llvm.delete_function</tt> method. This allows the user to redefine a
|
|
function that they incorrectly typed in before: if we didn't delete it, it
|
|
would live in the symbol table, with a body, preventing future redefinition.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>This code does have a bug, though. Since the <tt>Codegen.codegen_proto</tt>
|
|
can return a previously defined forward declaration, our code can actually delete
|
|
a forward declaration. There are a number of ways to fix this bug, see what you
|
|
can come up with! Here is a testcase:</p>

|
<div class="doc_code">
|
|
<pre>
|
|
extern foo(a b); # ok, defines foo.
|
|
def foo(a b) c; # error, 'c' is invalid.

def bar() foo(1, 2); # error, unknown function "foo"

For now, code generation to LLVM doesn't really get us much, except that we can
|
|
look at the pretty IR calls. The sample code inserts calls to Codegen into the
|
|
"<tt>Toplevel.main_loop</tt>", and then dumps out the LLVM IR. This gives a
|
|
nice way to look at the LLVM IR for simple functions. For example:
