Does llvmgcc4 convert the high-level AST to LLVM (like llvmgcc3x) or does it go from GIMPL to LLVM? If the latter, would it be possible to allow some TreeSSA optimizations before emitting LLVM? --Vikram http://www.cs.uiuc.edu/~vadve http://llvm.cs.uiuc.edu/ On Jul 31, 2006, at 1:10 PM, Devang Patel wrote:> llvmgcc4 emits LLVM byte code before executing GCC optimizations, > so one can say that llvmgcc4 disables all GCC optimizations. > > On Jul 31, 2006, at 11:01 AM, Zhiru Zhang wrote: > >> Hi, >> I am trying to turn on the new GCC auto-vectorization feature >> within llvmgcc4.

And TreeSSA optimizer may not be able to handle LLVM suitable GIMPLE trees. One such case is how Array references are handled (&a [i] vs a+i*size). However, I do not know exact details of LLVM byte code generation work inside llvmgcc4. - Devang> > --Vikram > http://www.cs.uiuc.edu/~vadve > http://llvm.cs.uiuc.edu/ > > > On Jul 31, 2006, at 1:10 PM, Devang Patel wrote: > >> llvmgcc4 emits LLVM byte code before executing GCC optimizations, >> so one can say that llvmgcc4 disables all GCC optimizations. >> >> On Jul 31, 2006, at 11:01 AM, Zhiru Zhang wrote: >> >>> Hi, >>> I am trying to turn on the new GCC auto-vectorization feature >>> within llvmgcc4.

We work on "high gimple", so optimizations that require low gimple or later forms won't work. I don't know what the gcc vectorizor uses, but IIRC it runs late in the pipeline, so it probably is low-gimple. I don't think the gimple->llvm translator can't handle low gimple, but it may be possible to extend it. -Chris>> On Jul 31, 2006, at 1:10 PM, Devang Patel wrote: >> >> > llvmgcc4 emits LLVM byte code before executing GCC optimizations, so one >> > can say that llvmgcc4 disables all GCC optimizations. >> > >> > On Jul 31, 2006, at 11:01 AM, Zhiru Zhang wrote: >> > >> > > Hi, >> > > I am trying to turn on the new GCC auto-vectorization feature within >> > > llvmgcc4.
