similar to: Why is there no EmitInt64 in AsmPrinter?

DWARF already needs to emit 64-bit values, being the type-unit hashes. How is that being done? (If it's going directly to the streamer, then we're already assuming all assemblers are okay with what the streamer does, and adding an AsmPrinter helper seems very reasonable.) --paulr From: llvm-dev [mailto:llvm-dev-bounces at lists.llvm.org] On Behalf Of James Henderson via llvm-dev Sent:

Hi everyone, Here's a patch that enables exception handling when jitting. I've copy/pasted _many_code from lib/Codegen/DwarfWriter.cpp, so we may need to factorize it, but the functionality is there and I'm very happy with it :) lli should now be able to execute the output from llvm-gcc when using exceptions (the UnwindInst instruction is not involved in this patch). Just add the

Looks sane. Thanks.

Hi, Two questions. 1) How are you computing size of the method being jitted? 2) Why not simply add the functionality of allocating emission buffer of specific size to MachineCodeEmitter instead?

Hi Evan, Evan Cheng wrote: > 1) How are you computing size of the method being > jitted? I add a new pass with addSimpleCodeEmitter, with the emitter being a SizeEmitter. Since the target calls the emitter with functions such as writeByte, writeWord, etc.... the SizeEmitter class implements these function by incrementing a counter. At the end of the pass, the code size of the

Hi, I'm with a team using 16-bit bytes for an out-of-tree target. The AsmPrinter framework's implementation of the DWARF debugging format is not very good at distinguishing between target-sized bytes (which is the more common use) and 8-bit-bytes. The DWARF standard itself seems not very good in this regard, actually. So we have had to hack our way around this. I.e., at some call-sites of

On OS X (10.6.2) running on an Intel Core 2 duo with LLVM 2.7 pulled about a month ago from CVS and built in debug mode: Using the JIT system with exception handling, I am having issues with type infos. "Finally" code (llvm.eh.selector intrinsic call with 0) works fine (correct landing pads found), as does this call with one type info. My type infos are each 64 bit array GlobalVariables

Dear all, Here's a new patch with Evan's comments (thx Evan!) and some cleanups. Now the (duplicated) exception handling code is in a new file: lib/ExecutionEngine/JIT/JITDwarfEmitter. This patch should work on linux/x86 and linux/ppc (tested). Nicolas -------------- next part -------------- An embedded and charset-unspecified text was scrubbed... Name: jit-exceptions.patch URL:

Hi Evan, My apologies: I've been so excited on sharing the functionality that I forgot to review my patch!

Hi everyone, vmkit requires to know the size of a jitted method before emitting the method. This allows to allocate the correct size for the method. The attached patch creates this functionality when the flag SizedMemoryCode is on. In order to implement this functionality, i had to virtualize some MachineCodeEmitter functions. Is it OK to commit the patch? Thanks, Nicolas --------------

Hi Jack, Everything should be already using the sized Emit* routines directly rather than outputting individual bytes of larger entities piecemeal. Have you found that not to be the case? The Emit* routines handle endianness for you, so you shouldn't have to do much beyond that. For example, here's the EmitInvValue() implementation that underlies things and does the endianness transform:

Jim, I see routines that are already available to do the endianizing, but the data and text section contents don't have sizing for the individual elements as far as I can see so that I can endianize them. That is the part I am trying to solve, not the bit twiddling algorithm. Did I miss something? Jack ________________________________________ From: Jim Grosbach [grosbach at apple.com] Sent:

Hi Jack, I would have expected the Mips backend to be using these routines (or more likely something on top of them) to emit the contents of the data and text sections and thus have the bit-twiddling done by these routines. I take it that's not happening? Basically, this should already work without any additional infrastructure. If it's not, something is broken and bypassing the
