...e to other passes. The analysis is only one way to supply the necessary information to the vectorizer - it could also be generated by a front-end directly. This is a very likely use-case for data-parallel languages that have specific constructs like "uniform"/"varying" (e.g. RenderMan in graphics). Metadata is the perfect thing to store this kind of information. >> I could imagine there are other things that could make use of this, or am I wrong with that? > > There are surely many things it could be used for.

Hey, we are intermixing LLVM IR generated from C code with IR generated from our custom RenderMan frontend. I am not sure whether this is relevant for you, but in our restricted setting (the C code does not change frequently and we have full control at link time) this works flawless.

This is a very likely use-case for data-parallel languages that have specific constructs like "uniform"/"varying" (e.g. RenderMan in graphics). Metadata is the perfect thing to store this kind of information. I'm not a graphics expert, but my understanding of "uniform/varying" is that it's really a property of values, the values which determine which basic blocks are executed, rather than of the basic block...

Hi all, Is it possible to merge two different languages in the same IR? With Java, JNI specifies a whole lot of rules to make C structures and PCS work with Java classes, if we were to do the same thing in IR, would that work? Is there anyone doing this today (with any language)? -- cheers, --renato http://systemcall.org/ Reclaim your digital rights, eliminate DRM, learn more at

Hi Guys, I am really a fresh man on compiler. I want to make a compiler that transform C-like language into assemble form, as the the same as Pixie's or Aqsis's RenderMan Shading Language compiler, just like this, #!version 2.1.1 surface #!parameters: uniform float Ka = 1 uniform float Kd = 1 #!variables: varying vector Nf varying vector temporary_0 varying vector temporary_1 varying vector temporary_2 uniform vector temporary_3 varying vector temporary_4 varying v...

A BasicBlock has certain properties in this context, e.g. we mark control flow that may never diverge in different instances ("threads" if you think in terms of CUDA) of the same function by marking the corresponding blocks.

Hi Dan, I am using it to store results of a vectorization analysis. A BasicBlock has certain properties in this context, e.g. we mark control flow that may never diverge in different instances ("threads" if you think in terms of CUDA) of the same function by marking the corresponding blocks. This information is later used when linearizing the function (control flow to data flow
