Thanks for reply. I have used AllocaInst, it's working but i think it's only for allocating some memory for new variable. And CallInst creates a call instruction. I am looking for creating a add or sub instruction. I used function instruction(), which gives me error "error: cannot allocate an object of abstract type ‘llvm::Instruction’" and also "Instruction.h:28: note: because the following virtual functions are pure within ‘llvm::Ins...

...ps at various stages of compilation pipeline or after a given optimization pass. Said process can be extremely laborious, and this is especially true when comparing shaders or compute modules. Important semantic differences are often difficult to spot because of the irregular naming and ordering of instructions. Looking for a solution we have come across Puyan Lotfi's talk at 2018 EuroLLVM on mir-canon (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHT-bh_xo6U). His project inspired us to invest some time into developing a tool called llvm-canon aiming to achieve a very similar goal - a clean and obvious diff...

Can you please give an example of creating an instruction (for example add instructions with two operand a and b)? I am trying instruction() for a while, but no success yet.

Hi all, I would like to make a proposal about changing the optimization strategy regarding when to insert a vzeroupper instruction in the x86 backend. Current implementation: vzeroupper is inserted to any functions that use AVX instructions. The insertion points are: 1) before a call instruction; 2) before a return instruction; Rationale: vzeroupper is an AVX instruction; it is inserted to avoid performance penalty when s...

To: LLVM Dev <llvmdev at cs.uiuc.edu> Hi, I'm trying to use the built-in CostModel class to estimate the number of machine instructions for each IR Instruction. To get a feel for what kind of output the CostModel pass gives, I ran it on the command line like so: $ cat test.c int main(){ int r = rand(); if (r > 1){ return ++r; } return r*86; } $ clang-3.6 -S -emit-llvm test.c -o test.bc $ opt-3.6 -...

Hello, I am a beginner of LLVM. I am trying to move among the instructions of a BasicBlock and I cannot. In this particular example, I try to get the previous instruction of the end instruction. I am trying 2 methods: 1. I have the following sequence of code: bool patternDC::runOnBasicBlock(BasicBlock &BB) { ... if (BB.getTerminator()) { Instruct...

Hi, I was trying to create a new *Store* instruction and inserting it to LLVM IR (.ll) file. I found the following constructor in LLVM Manual: StoreInst::StoreInst <http://llvm.org/docs/doxygen/html/classllvm_1_1StoreInst.html#aa2a72f9a51b317f5b4ab8695adf59025> (Value <http://llvm.org/docs/doxygen/html/classllvm_1_1Value.html> * Val,...

There's an entire tutorial at http://llvm.org/docs/tutorial which includes covers the IRBuilder to generate all sorts of IR, including the add instruction. You can skip ahead to chapter 3 if you just want to see LLVM API, but I suggest you read the whole tutorial if you have the time.

Hi, I'm glad to see some action with regard to static instruction scheduling and VLIW support in LLVM. I have some questions and remarks which might not be relevant as I'm not totally familiar with the current code generation framework of LLVM nor your plan.

...actors SLOWER than even Microsoft's NOTORIOUS POOR implementation of 64-bit division shipped with MSVC and Windows! The reasons: 1. subroutine matroschka, 2. "C" implementation! JFTR: the target processor "i386" (introduced October 1985) is a 32-bit processor, it has instructions to divide 64-bit integers by 32-bit integers, and to multiply two 32-bit integers giving a 64-bit product! I expect that a library written 20+ years later takes advantage of these instructions! __divsi3 (18 instructions) perform a DIV after 2 calls of abs(),...

...is going on nicely, and I've until now found the answer to all my questions directly in the LLVM source code, or in the documentation. However, I'm having problems with the AsmBackend class and the handling of fixups. The processor I'm working with has a single conditional branch instruction, JCC, that takes an IP-relative 9-bit immediate offset as operand. A second version of the instruction takes a register as operand and can therefore jump to any 32-bit address. In AsmBackend, there are methods for relaxing instructions, that I wanted to use to replace "JCC imm9" in...

Can anyone tell how to get the result name or instruction name of all instruction? For example if the instruction is "x=add y,z", here i need "x". Using getName(), i am getting some instructions result name, but llvm produces some instruction like "%0=add i32 tmp, 1", here getName() shows empty string as result name. So p...

Dear All, Given a pointer to an instruction, what is the easiest way to insert one or more new instructions after that instructions? We used to find the next instruction using Instruction::getNext(), but this method seems to have been made private now. -- John T.

Hello all, I am at the adding Instruction Set stage of adding new target support into LLVM. There is a single instruction op mnemonic with multiple operand forms. For example: Add R1, R2 & Add @R1, R2. I found that there is similar case in x86 instruction set, such like ADD reg, reg & ADD mem, reg. However, the solution of x86 i...
