[llvm-dev] [newbie] trouble with global variables and CreateLoad/Store in JIT

Since the getelementptrs were implicitly generated by the CreateStore/Load
I'm not sure how to get access to them.

So I hacked the assignment to be done thrice: once using a manual
decomposition into two GEPs and stores, once using the "big"
CreateStore,
once via the setGlobal function, printing addresses and memory contents at
each point to the degree that I have access to them.

It seems the following GEPs compute the same address?! I can buy myself not
understanding how GEP works and doing it wrong, but builder.CreateStore()
creates what look like identical GEPs implicitly...

i8** getelementptr inbounds ({ i8*, i32 }, { i8*, i32 }* @foo, i32 0, i32
0), align 4
i32* getelementptr inbounds ({ i8*, i32 }, { i8*, i32 }* @foo, i32 0, i32
1), align 4

The details.

This is the relevant part from my codegen:

            auto ty = val->getType();
            cout << "val type:" << endl;
            ty->dump();
            cout << "ptr type:" << endl;
            ptr->getType()->dump();
            // Print memory
            ctx.EmitCall1("debugPointer", ptr);
            // Set class pointer
            auto c = ctx.bld.CreateExtractValue(val, 0, "class");
            auto cp = ctx.bld.CreateConstGEP2_32(ty, ptr, 0, 0);
            auto cx = ctx.bld.CreatePtrToInt(cp, ctx.Int32Type());
            ctx.EmitCall1("debugInt", cx);
            ctx.bld.CreateStore(c, cp);
            // Set datum
            auto d = ctx.bld.CreateExtractValue(val, 1, "datum");
            auto dp = ctx.bld.CreateConstGEP2_32(ty, ptr, 0, 1);
            auto dx = ctx.bld.CreatePtrToInt(dp, ctx.Int32Type());
            ctx.EmitCall1("debugInt", dx);
            ctx.bld.CreateStore(d, dp);
            // Print memory
            ctx.EmitCall1("debugPointer", ptr);
            // Do the same with a single store
            ctx.bld.CreateStore(val, ptr);
            // Print memory
            ctx.EmitCall1("debugPointer", ptr);
            // Call out
            ctx.EmitCall2("setGlobal", ptr, val);
            // Print memory
            ctx.EmitCall1("debugPointer", ptr);

Here is the compile-time output showing types of the value and the pointer:

val type:
{ i8*, i32 }
ptr type:
{ i8*, i32 }*

Here is the IR dump for the function (after a couple of passes), right
before it's fed to the JIT:

define { i8*, i32 } @"__anonToplevel/0"() prefix { i8*, i32 } (i32)*
@"XEP:__anonToplevel/0" {
entry:
  %0 = call { i8*, i32 } @debugPointer({ i8*, i32 }* nonnull @foo)
  %1 = call { i8*, i32 } @debugInt(i32 ptrtoint ({ i8*, i32 }* @foo to i32))
  store i8* @FixnumClass, i8** getelementptr inbounds ({ i8*, i32 }, { i8*,
i32 }* @foo, i32 0, i32 0), align 4
  %2 = call { i8*, i32 } @debugInt(i32 ptrtoint (i32* getelementptr
inbounds ({ i8*, i32 }, { i8*, i32 }* @foo, i32 0, i32 1) to i32))
  store i32 123, i32* getelementptr inbounds ({ i8*, i32 }, { i8*, i32 }*
@foo, i32 0, i32 1), align 4
  %3 = call { i8*, i32 } @debugPointer({ i8*, i32 }* nonnull @foo)
  store i8* @FixnumClass, i8** getelementptr inbounds ({ i8*, i32 }, { i8*,
i32 }* @foo, i32 0, i32 0), align 4
  store i32 123, i32* getelementptr inbounds ({ i8*, i32 }, { i8*, i32 }*
@foo, i32 0, i32 1), align 4
  %4 = call { i8*, i32 } @debugPointer({ i8*, i32 }* nonnull @foo)
  call void @setGlobal({ i8*, i32 }* nonnull @foo, { i8*, i32 } { i8*
@FixnumClass, i32 123 })
  %5 = call { i8*, i32 } @debugPointer({ i8*, i32 }* nonnull @foo)
  ret { i8*, i32 } { i8* @FixnumClass, i32 123 }
}

Here is the runtime from calling the JITed function, including memory
addresses and contents, with my annotations:

# Before
p = 03C10000
  class: 00000000
  datum: 00000000
# Should be address of the class slot --> correct
x = 03C10000
# Should be address of the datum slot, ie address of class slot + 4 -->
incorrect
x = 03C10000
# Yeah, both values want to class slot, so actual class pointer got
clobbered
p = 03C10000
  class: 0000007B
  datum: 00000000
# Same result from the single CreateStore
p = 03C10000
  class: 0000007B
  datum: 00000000
# Calling out to setGlobal as in my first email works
p = 03C10000
  class: 039D2E98
  datum: 0000007B

Finally, I didn't manage nice disassembly yet, so here is the last output
from --print-after-all for the function. The bizarre thing is that even
this looks correct: the debugInt is called first with @foo, then @foo+4,
and the stores seem to be going to the right addresses as well: @foo and
@foo+4!

Also, I have essentially identical code working perfectly fine when the
memory being written to is from @alloca.

I am completely clueless. Any suggestions most welcome.

[llvm-dev] [newbie] trouble with global variables and CreateLoad/Store in JIT

Uh. Turns out that if I hide the pointer to @foo from LLVM by passing it
through an opaque identity function ... then everything works fine.

Is this a bug in LLVM or is there some magic involving globals I'm
misunderstanding?

define { i8*, i32 } @"__anonToplevel/0"() prefix { i8*, i32 } (i32)*
@"XEP:__anonToplevel/0" {
entry:
  %0 = call { i8*, i32 }* @identity({ i8*, i32 }* nonnull @foo)
  %1 = call { i8*, i32 } @debugPointer({ i8*, i32 }* %0)
  %2 = getelementptr { i8*, i32 }, { i8*, i32 }* %0, i32 0, i32 0
  %3 = ptrtoint { i8*, i32 }* %0 to i32
  %4 = call { i8*, i32 } @debugInt(i32 %3)
  store i8* @FixnumClass, i8** %2, align 4
  %5 = getelementptr { i8*, i32 }, { i8*, i32 }* %0, i32 0, i32 1
  %6 = ptrtoint i32* %5 to i32
  %7 = call { i8*, i32 } @debugInt(i32 %6)
  store i32 123, i32* %5, align 4
  %8 = call { i8*, i32 } @debugPointer({ i8*, i32 }* %0)
  store i8* @FixnumClass, i8** %2, align 4
  store i32 123, i32* %5, align 4
  %9 = call { i8*, i32 } @debugPointer({ i8*, i32 }* %0)
  call void @setGlobal({ i8*, i32 }* %0, { i8*, i32 } { i8* @FixnumClass,
i32 123 })
  %10 = call { i8*, i32 } @debugPointer({ i8*, i32 }* %0)
  ret { i8*, i32 } { i8* @FixnumClass, i32 123 }
}

Output, now with correct addresses out of the GEPs, and memory being
modified as expected:

p = 02F80000
  class: 00000000
  datum: 00000000
x = 02F80000
x = 02F80004
p = 02F80000
  class: 028D3E98
  datum: 0000007B
p = 02F80000
  class: 028D3E98
  datum: 0000007B
p = 02F80000
  class: 028D3E98
  datum: 0000007B

[llvm-dev] [newbie] trouble with global variables and CreateLoad/Store in JIT

This looks like a bug in the handling of constant GEP's. Specifically the
`getelementptr inbounds ({ i8*, i32 }, { i8*, i32 }* @foo, i32 0, i32 1)`
used to calculate the address of the integer inside the struct. Your
observation "The bizarre thing is that even this looks correct: the
debugInt is called first with @foo, then @foo+4, and the stores seem to be
going to the right addresses as well: @foo and @foo+4!" at the level of the
MachineInstr dump rules out problems before that.

After MachineInstr comes MC to emit the object file, but `foo+4` is one of
the most basic relocation types, so I doubt that there's a bug in the
lowering there or else "everything" would be broken.
Just to verify though, checking assembly of a small example across 32-bit
targets of all 3 object file formats looks fine at a glance (MC is getting
the +4 addend, though you would need to run `llvm-objdump -d -r` to see the
actual relocation in the binary) .
https://godbolt.org/g/0Owzf5
https://godbolt.org/g/n0qzmg
https://godbolt.org/g/kAOvkQ

Beyond MC, you already have your static object file. If that is fine, then
in a JIT context you might be running into issues with RuntimeDyld. The
actual GEP's that clang generates are identical to the ones in your code,
further suggesting that this is JIT specific and that static links are
unaffected (if you could verify that, it would help to narrow down the
possibilities).
Maybe look at the output of `llvm-objdump -d -r` on a static .o file
generated from your IR and see where the relocation is handled
in lib/ExecutionEngine/RuntimeDyld (this will depend on your platform;
grepping for the name of the relocation shown by llvm-objdump should find
the right code to look at).

By the way, what platform are you JIT'ing on? I noticed that it is a 32-bit
target, and I suspect that the 32-bit support in the JIT infrastructure
isn't as well tested / commonly used as the 64-bit code, possibly
explaining why this sort of bug could sneak through.
