RFC: token arguments and operand bundles
...terate that I am still seeking all opinions about the use of tokens and operand bundles or any other means of representing the fp constraints. I just want to make sure that we all have the same understanding of what the information I’m trying to represent in IR means.

RFC: token arguments and operand bundles
...l constant values is that it provides no information when you’re reading the IR. For example:
%sum = call double @llvm.experimental.constrained.fadd(double %x, double %y, i32 1, i32 2)
What does that mean? You’d need to consult an external reference to have any idea.

in whether some bits of this make sense to end up in libLLVM itself.
Probably especially the collection code pieces. For context, I've
previously written some code to pretty-print the line-table information as

it's been on my mind ever since to figure out if some portion of that made
sense to upstream, if any. And also to figure out how to parse and show the
variable info along it...

Disable combining of loads and stores in instcombine
...uld perform the load every time; ideally memory accesses would be able to be cached. This is why I’ve been leaning towards disabling the part of instcombine that combines memory accesses instead of using volatile — there should be better performance.

Clang/LLVM JIT - When to use "registerEHFrames()"
Historically? I implemented support for exceptions back in LLVM 3.3, before
LLVM had an implementation of a Windows unwinder.
Currently? As recent as LLVM 4.0, I don't think the JIT was fully capable
of handling COFF files, and LLVM wouldn't emit the correct sections (with
the COFF-formatted unwind tables) when used in ELF mode.
The prolog is known to be standard since Julia disables FPO

indeed how it's done in JuliaLang).

[MCJIT] messy call stack debug on x64 code in VisualStudio
I've always just hacked support for this in to the various JITs (for
JuliaLang, in our debuginfo.cpp file), by setting the
no-frame-pointer-optim flag in the IR, then creating and populating a dummy
unwind description object in the .text section, and registering that
dynamically. Some day I hope to actually just register the .pdata/.xdata
sections with the unwinder.
PDBs are a bit different

This is mostly true today, but AFAICT the LLVM memory model doesn’t actually offer this guarantee. It merely says that LLVM treats volatile like C / C++ treats volatile… which isn’t much of a guarantee because C / C++ volatile doesn’t

GDB doesn't work with IR-originated debug info
Hi all,
Need your help.
I added some debug information to my code according to Kaleidoscope-9
sample and got stuck with a GDB error:

My module is a DLL built with llc+ld toolchain. Target triple:

Looking this offset (1849950870 == 0x6e440296) in dwarfdump output of the

Proposal for llvm.experimental.gc intrinsics for inttoptr and ptrtoint
For a datapoint, Julia uses the following function description to implement
approximately the capability of those functions. We then also verify that
there's no direct inttoptr/ptrtoint into our gc-tracked AddressSpace with a
custom verifier pass (among other sanity checks). I can provide additional
details and pointers to our gc-root tracking algorithm implementation if
desired (I also plan

LLJIT vs. thread-local storage
I don't think it's especially hard, but just not specifically unimplemented
because nobody's had a strong need for it. There's probably some
combinations of code models and machines that does happen to work (e.g.
emutls+linux+large-code+large-data+no-PIC). Julia has some support for
thread locals, but as a JIT in control of the language we currently try to
generate better code than

[RFC] Displaying source variable locations in llvm-objdump
Hi llvm-dev,
I've uploaded a prototype patch at https://reviews.llvm.org/D70720 which
adds a new feature to llvm-objdump: displaying the location (in
registers/memory/etc) of source-level variables alongside the disassembly
display. I've put a demo of the output at https://reviews.llvm.org/M2.
I have two use-cases in mind for this:

RFC: token arguments and operand bundles
Hello everyone,
I've just uploaded a patch (https://reviews.llvm.org/D70261) to introduce a could of new token types to be used with constrained floating point intrinsics and, optionally, vector predicated intrinsics. These intrinsics may not be of interest to many of you, but I have a more general question.
I would like some general feedback on the way I am proposing to use token arguments

Clang/LLVM JIT - When to use "registerEHFrames()"
I'm catching up on this. Does this mean LLVM x64 JITTed code is not
exception friendly or you can't catch exceptions inside LLVM JITTed
code. The first one seems to indicate that the code is not ABI
friendly or that not enough information is present to notify Windows
of unwind tables.
I'll ask the question another way: Does LLVM emit enough information
so that RtlAddFunctionTable can
