A struct {i8, i64} has size == 12, clang says size 16
What exactly is your alignment settings in your LLVM struct? Something like this would tell you the alignment of "something". const llvm::DataLayout dl(theModule); size_t size = dl.getPrefTypeAlignment(something); IIn "my" compiler, I don't do anything special to align structs, so it's plausibly your specific data-layout that says that i64 only needs aligning to

A struct {i8, i64} has size == 12, clang says size 16
I think I see a potential issue. My ExecutionEngine setup may not be using the same target as my object code emitting, and in this test case I'm running in the ExecutionEngine.  I'll go over this code to ensure I'm creating the same triple and see if that helps -- I'm assuming it will, since I can't imagine the exact same triple with clang would produce a different layout.

Migration from 3.8 to 6.0 questions (segfault most concerning)
I'm encountering a few problems in my migration that I haven't yet figured out. `getOrInsertFunction` is generating a SEGFAULT at FunctionType::isValidArgumentType(llvm::Type*).  I'm calling it as:     generic_ptr_ = llvm::PointerType::get( llvm::Type::getInt8Ty(context), 0 );     f_natural_int = llvm::IntegerType::get(context, 64);     module->getOrInsertFunction(

It sounds like your DataLayout may not match clang's for x86_64-linux. What does it say about the alignment of i64?

How to set Target/Triple of ExecutionEngine
I don't know if I'm setting the triple of my execution engine correctly.  This is leading to an issue where a struct `{i8,i64}` is not getting the same layout as the ABI expects. I setup my engine/module like this:      llvm::SmallVector<std::string,2> mattrs;      llvm::EngineBuilder builder{ unique_ptr<llvm::Module>(module) };      llvm::ExecutionEngine * ee = builder.

How to set Target/Triple of ExecutionEngine
Taking one step back, I'm not clear I'm even setting the triple/DataLayout on the module correctly:     module = new llvm::Module( "test", *llvm_context );     module->setTargetTriple( platform::target->triple ); Is that enough to create an appropriate DataLayout for the module?  I don't see anyway to convert a triple to a DataLayout, so I can't call

A struct {i8,i64} has size == 12, clang says size 16
I'm creating a struct of `{i8,i64}` and `DataLayout::getTypeAllocSize` is returning `12`. `getStructLayout` also gives an `4` offset for the second element. The native ABI, and clang, for the same type are producing a size of 16, with an alignment of 8, for the second element. This is for the system triple "x86_64-linux-gnu" What could be causing this difference in alignment and

Why does clang do a memcpy? Is the cast not enough? (ABI function args)
I'm implementing function arguments and tested this code in C:     // clang -emit-llvm ll_struct_arg.c -S -o /dev/tty     typedef struct vpt_data {         char a;         int b;         float c;     } vpt_data;         void vpt_test( vpt_data vd ) {     }     int main() {         vpt_data v;         vpt_test(v);     } This emits an odd LLVM structure that casts to the desired struct type,

How to set Target/Triple of ExecutionEngine
Hi edaqa, You might need to set your TargetOptions before calling selectTarget. E.g. builder.setTargetOptions(Opts).selectTarget(...); Or you could just let EngineBuilder call selectTarget for you (which is what the no-argument version of EngineBuilder::create does): llvm::ExecutionEngine * ee = builder. setErrorStr( &errStr ). setEngineKind( llvm::EngineKind::JIT ).

Does an array and homogeneous struct have the same layout?
Does an array of a value type and a structure containing only that type have the same alignment requirements?  That is, in C-syntax: float* array; struct point { float x; float y; } point p; array = (float*)&p; Does `array[0]` now refer to x, and `array[1]` to y? I'm creating these structures in LLVM with default packing (StructType::isPacked == false). I have a library that takes

Creating a C-ABI compatible function signature with a struct
Is there some way to create a target-specific C-ABI compatible function signature using LLVM? For example, this C-Code:     typedef struct vpt_data {         char x;         int a;         char c;         float b;     } vpt_data;         void vpt_test( vpt_data vd ) { Generates a function:     define void @vpt_test(i64 %vd.coerce0, i64 %vd.coerce1) #0 { And also packs/unpacks the structure

How to add/use parameter attributes? Troubles with "byval"
I'm unable to figure out how IR attributes can be added via the C++ API. I need to create a function like this:     %1 = call i64 @abi_call_test_tuple_2p(%struct.abi_tuple_2p* byval align 8 %v) Where a structure is being passed by value. I need to add the `byval` attribute somewhere (I'm not clear if this is on the function arguments or the type). I'm also uncertain of why that

`free` counterpart to `alloca`, or way to lift to function home
I'm unintentionally allocating too much space on the stack by using `alloca` inside a loop. To fix this I will do my `alloca` outside of the loop itself.  I'm wondering if there is a way for this to be automatically done: given alloca a function scope, rather than loop scope. I'm curious also, since this actually allocates each time in the loop, is there a way to say the stack

Difference between "byval" and actually passing by value?
There appears to be a difference between passing by value:     call void @foo(%some_struct %v) And using the `byval` attribute on a pointer:     call void @foo(%some_struct* byval %v) They are not compatible with each other yet logically do the same thing.  The second form is the one that appears to work with the ABI on linux, and the first one not.

Hi, Could you share how you compile IR and which version of JIT you use (Orc, MCJIT)? Could it be that you are using interpreter instead of actual JIT? Cheers, Alex. > On 5.

Why does clang do a memcpy? Is the cast not enough? (ABI function args)
I understand it's passing by value, that's what I'm testing here. The question is why does it copy the data rather than just casting and loading values from the original variable (%v) ?  It seems like the copying is unnecessary. Not all struct's result in the copy, only certain forms -- others are just cast directly as I was expecting. I'm just not clear on what the

Slow IR compilation/JIT, profiling points to LLVM?
I'm having issues of my compiler, and JIT execution, of LLVM IR being rather slow. It's accounting for the vast majority of my full compilation time.  I'm trying to figure out why this is happening, since it's becoming an impediment.  (Note: by slow I mean about 3s of time for only about 2K of my front-end code, 65K lines of LLVM-IR) Using valgrind I see some functions which seem
