[LLVMdev] Interaction of stacksave/restore and stack spills
Hi everyone, I'm curious about the constraints that come with the usage of llvm.stacksave/llvm.stackrestore. Specifically I was wondering what the contract of their usage was with respect to SSA variables defined after llvm.stacksave. It seems to me that they could get spilled to a stack slot, which I'm concerned stackrestore might mess up. Is this a valid concern? Thanks, Keno --...

[LLVMdev] Issues with the llvm.stackrestore intrinsic
Hi, I have two problems regarding the llvm.stackrestore intrinsic. I'm running on 3.0, but a quick test on trunk also showed the same behavior. First problem: --------------- I have code like: tmp1 = call llvm.stacksave() tmp2 = alloca [do some stuff with tmp2] call llvm.stackrestore(tmp1) [some other stuff] tmp3 = call llvm.stacksave() tmp4 = alloca [do some stuff with tmp4] call llvm.stackrestore(tmp3) Then some transformation rewrites this to tmp1 = call llvm.stacksave() tmp2...

why is llvm.stacksave() necessary?
...he alloca instruction states: The ‘alloca‘ instruction allocates memory on the stack frame of the currently executing function, to be automatically released when this function returns to its caller. when using come c code like void myfunc(void){ int i=4; double d[i]; } the ir shows enclosing llvm.stackSave & restore constructs, enclosing the alloca related to 'd'. thellvm.stacksafe reference explains: This intrinsic is used to remember the current state of the function stack... In practice, this pops any alloca blocks from the stack that were allocated after the llvm.stacksave was execu...

[LLVMdev] Issues with the llvm.stackrestore intrinsic - now LoopRotation handling of alloca
...Shouldn't we also check on !isa<AllocaInst>(Inst) before allowing to move it? The code that breaks because of the moved alloca looks like start: [...] br loopstart loopbody: [use alloc'd mem] call stackrestore(%oldsp) br loopstart loopstart: %oldsp = call stacksave() alloca [...] brcond loopbody, end end: [use alloc'd mem] call stackrestore(%oldsp) Then LoopRotation clones the stacksave from bb3 to bb1 and _moves_ the alloca from bb3 to bb1. So the alloca is moved outside the loop instead of having it execute each lap. But there still is...

[LLVMdev] Proposing a new 'alloca' parameter attribute to implement the Microsoft C++ ABI
...lee cleanup (thiscall), but free functions are caller cleanup (cdecl). Features -------- A few weeks ago, I sat down with some folks at Google and we came up with this proposal, which tries to add the minimum set of LLVM IL features to make this possible. 1. Allow alloca instructions to use llvm.stacksave values to indicate scoping. This creates an SSA dependence between the alloca instruction and the stackrestore instruction that prevents optimizers from accidentally reordering them in ways that don't verify. llvm.stacksave in this case is taking on a role similar to CALLSEQ_START in the sel...

Is there a way to accomplish this with existing LLVM API? You should use the @llvm.stacksave and @llvm.stackrestore intrinsic. It is only legal to pass a value returned by stacksave to stackrestore. If you need more control, consider @llvm.read_register and @llvm.write_register intrinsics, which allow arbitrary manipulation of the stack pointer (but, I think, will inhibit optimizations mo...

> In C, the ‘minimal’ part is called the ‘scope’.

Issue with shrink wrapping
...] = x[n - i - 1]; for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) x[i] = a[i] + 1; } that, compiled with -O1/-Os for AArch64 and X86, generates machine code, which fails to properly restore the stack pointer upon function return. The testcase allocates a VLA, thus clang generates calls to `llvm.stacksave` and `llvm.stackrestore`. The latter call is lowered to `mov sp, x2`, however this move does not affect decisions made by the shrink wrapping pass, as the instruction does not use or define a callee-saved register. The end effect is that placement of register save/restore code is such that along...

[LLVMdev] Explicitly Freeing Allocas

This > is because I need to call functions that take structs of different sizes as > input, (possibly inside of loops) and I would rather avoid a stack overflow. You can't explicitly free a specific alloca, but you can use the llvm.stacksave and llvm.stackrestore intrinsics to free all allocas performed after calling the stacksave intrinsic. http://llvm.org/docs/LangRef.html#int_stacksave

[LLVMdev] Starting implementation of 'inalloca' parameter attribute for MS C++ ABI pass-by-value
...;, which follows the preposition pattern of inreg and byval. After discussion, we decided it was silly to add stackbase uses to alloca instructions. They should stay simple. Instead, we'll clarify that it is illegal for an optimization to raise an alloca used as an inalloca argument across a stacksave, and fix any transforms that do this. In particular, I'll look at the inliner, which is the most likely to move allocas. Furthermore, any call that uses an inalloca argument must have an associated stackrestore field, regardless of whether it's callee cleanup (thiscall) or caller cleanup...

best way to represent function call with new stack in LLVM IR?
In the Zig frontend, we know at compile-time the entire call graph. This means we know stack size for all functions and therefore the upper bound stack usage. Recursive calls can have a runtime-decided stack usage, and therefore I am adding a frontend feature that will heap-allocate memory to use for some function calls. The idea is that recursion adds cycles to the call graph, and we know at
