Hi, I want to create a double constant from a float constant, here's my code: auto* constFloat1 = static_cast<llvm::ConstantFP*>(llvm::ConstantFP::get(llvm::Type::getFloatTy(context), 3.1)); assert(constFloat1->getType() == llvm::Type::getFloatTy(context)); auto* constFloat2 = llvm::ConstantFP::get(llvm::Type::getDoubleTy(context), constFloat1->getValueAPF());

Reid, Thanks! You were right! Changing the code to: float (*theF)(float) = (float (*)(float)) EE -> getPointerToFunction(f); float retVal = theF(arg1); made the difference. Now it is dozens of times faster! I don't really understand the cause though.. Why doesn't ExecutionEngine cope well with "define float @someFunc(float %x)" and needs this trick ? (but copes well with

Hi everyone, I am trying to call an LLVM intrinsic (llvm.pow.f32), inserted with the following call: std::vector<llvm::Type *> arg_types;arg_types.push_back(llvm::Type::getFloatTy(context));auto function=llvm::Intrinsic::getDeclaration(module, llvm::Intrinsic::pow, arg_types);auto result=ir_builder->CreateCall(function, args); When I try to execute the code generated by the JIT

Probably because the integer version of the prototype is special-cased. The problem is that the JIT has a C function pointer of an arbitrary type that it only finds out about at runtime. Normally, if you call a function pointer with a known type, your compiler will generate the proper calling code and allocate the arguments in registers or on the stack. However, doing that inside the JIT would

I am trying to build a function (C++ Builder) and at the same time extend its parameter set. Here's what I try to do: Value* arg0 = add_param_float("arg0"); Value* tmp = builder->CreateFAdd(arg0,some_previous_value); Value* arg1 = add_param_float("arg1"); The function add_param_float should add a 'float' parameter to the function and return its value. Right

Hi Andrew, this sounded a plausible explanation, because the X86 processor does not have an instruction to calculate the power function. So I tried the llvm.sin.f32 intrinsic, as the X86 processor family does have an instruction for that, but I still get the same problem. While you may still be right, there is at least something else going on as well. Thanks for your input, though. Taco.

When using ORC JIT, I'm having trouble with external function resolution (that is, of a function defined in the app, with C linkage). I add a declaration for the function to my IR, and when I use MCJIT, it finds it and all is well, But when I use ORC JIT (I *think* correctly, at least it closely matches what I see in the tutorial), I get an LLVM error, "Program used external function

I've partially ported the OCaml bindings to support LLVMContext, and I wanted to get people's opinion on how to implement it in the API. For the LLVM's C++ api, many key functions were modified to only take a LLVMContext, such as replacing the global variable Type::FloatTy with a function Type::getFloatTy(LLVMContext&). For llvm-c though, we need to maintain backwards compatibility

Hi, I'm trying to get my head around c++ - IR - c++ API and getting used tramform manual information to code. The manual states alloca is defined for <type>. FunstionType is a type, so alloca for functionType should be possible? Not? If we have a valid Module *m we can get an allocate instruction allocating space for a non-argumented function as follows: AllocaInst* pa2 = new

Thanks so much! This seems to do the trick. I would have spun my wheels for a long time before discovering all of this, wow. Do I even want to know what additional chickens need to be sacrificed to get this to work on Windows? -- lg > On May 18, 2016, at 1:52 PM, Lang Hames <lhames at gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi Larry, > > You're basically there, but you're hitting

Hi Larry, Thanks so much! This seems to do the trick. I would have spun my wheels for > a long time before discovering all of this, wow. No worries. :) I'll try to keep this in mind and make sure I address it in future Kaleidoscope tutorial chapters - these issues tripped me up the first time I encountered them too.

>> llvm::sys::DynamicLibrary::LoadLibraryPermanently(nullptr) This is one is a bit tricky and hard to find. I spent quiet some time digging into MC and ORC JIT execution engines trying to find what makes them work. The problem is that this trick (LoadLibraryPermanently) happens inside of EngineBuilder, despite that the functionality belongs to a JIT engine itself, not to the builder. I
