similar to: I want to update WritingAnLLVMBackend document

I'm having a go at writing an LLVM backend for the WDC 65816. The documentation page on writing an LLVM backend<http://llvm.org/docs/WritingAnLLVMBackend.html>gives this example of target registration: extern "C" void LLVMInitializeSparcTargetInfo() { RegisterTarget<Triple::sparc, /*HasJIT=*/false> X(TheSparcTarget, "sparc",

Here's a patch for WritingAnLLVMBackend.html that describes how instruction operand mapping works based on an IRC chat I had. Can someone review and apply it? -------------- next part -------------- An embedded and charset-unspecified text was scrubbed...

- my old email address. The ISA_* classes might not be the best choice for this. There's an overall hierarchy and ordering to the ISA_* classes since they represent the generations of the MIPS ISA. If these extensions are available in Loongson chips based on MIPS32r1 and MIPS32r2 for example, it becomes difficult to describe with ISA_* classes without duplicating instruction definitions or

Hi, We have some DSP architectures (kalimba) which have 24-bits as their "minimum addressable unit". So this means that the sizeof a char (and an int and a short for that matter) is 24-bits. I quickly read the posted link WritingAnLLVMBackend.html but did not see an obvious answer to the following question: Is it possible to write a backend that faithfully represents these

Hi LLVM developers, GCC[1] is able to use Loongson ISA[2] for instruction selection: $ cat hello.c #include <stdio.h> int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { printf("Hello World\n"); return 0; } $ gcc -O0 -S hello.c $ cat hello.s .file 1 "hello.c" .section .mdebug.abi64 .previous .nan legacy .gnu_attribute 4, 1 .abicalls

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello devs, I'd like to ask for some advise about adding a backend. I followed the steps at http://llvm.org/docs/WritingAnLLVMBackend.html (also adding the backend to the configure script, so it compiles (on Linux) with LLVM 3.1. However, llvm-build fails with: llvm[0]: Constructing LLVMBuild project information. Usage: llvm-build [options]

In attempting to add a backend I came across the documentation here: http://llvm.org/docs/WritingAnLLVMBackend.html The section on the build system seems to be out of date, or maybe I don't understand it. I copied the Sparc target to a directory (Foo for the example), added Foo to the subdirectories list in llvm\lib\Target\LLVMBuild.txt and to LLVM_ALL_TARGETS in llvm\CMakeLists.txt. I

Hello all, I am a beginner of LLVM and want to add a new Target for LLVM. I follow the document (http://llvm.org/docs/WritingAnLLVMBackend.html) to modify autotools/configure.ac. However when I type ./AutoRegen.sh There is an error that "Your autoconf was not detected as being 2.60" I download the source of autoconf 2.60 and install it. And there is the other error that "Your

I want to use LLVM as the main component in my compilation process. In doing so, I know I need to convert a high-level language to another language (python or a custom syntax.) The architecture I'm targeting is non-traditional hardware: microfluidic devices. Microfluidic devices are a specific class of reconfigurable computing; which don't necessarily adhere to a traditional

Hi Johnny, Thanks for this - particularly the tip about cfe-dev. I'm currently trying to coerce lldb to debug these type of architectures (our current toolchain already outputs good dwarf info). However, I'm struggling since lldb has just assumes that the size of a byte is universally 8-bits. At some stage, I *think* at some stage we'd like to derive a compiler, from the "same

Yes, llvm::InitializeAllTargetMCs(void) does seem to be autogenerated. It is _LLVMInitializeFooTargetMC that I can't find documented anywhere.

Dear all, I use the clang frontend to produce the control flow graph of a C program through this command: clang -Xclang -analyze -Xclang -analyzer-checker=debug.DumpCFG test.c The produced information contains all the basic blocks identified by labels, e.g. B1, B2, etc. along with their predecessors and successors. Is there a way to get the starting address of each of these basic block? I would

Hello, I am trying to find out where the complete documentation for the TargetDescription string documentation is. I am reading the tutorial and looking at the sparc backend at the same time and there are some discrepancies. Therefore the documentation would be extremely valuable but I can't seem to find it. In the tutorial it shows the string "E-p:32:32-f128:128:128", but the real

Hi Patrik, Thanks for this note. It's encouraging to read there has been some provision made for non-8-bit bytes. I'm not a compiler/backend expert, (although maybe I'll need to be soon!), so I won't look at the patches right now, however may at some stage in the future myself or colleague may request these patches from yourself. Yes, our 24-bit architectures have non-power-of-2
