similar to: [LLVMdev] Question about structure of SymbolTable

Brian, Global symbols including new named types are named in the global symbol table. In addition each function contains a local symbol table naming local items, including temporary variables. I'm busy documenting all this, but I'm also busy writing a code generator for my architecture, so haven't gotten enough through everything to completely document the bytecode language.

The SymbolTable is a map of Type* to a map of names to Value*. This means that in order to lookup something by name you first have to know what type it is. For the basic types this is fine because you generally always know which basic type you're after. But, for derived types, this can be quite complicated. It isn't always possible to know the exact type. In XPL, types are just names.

I was looking at the SymbolTable code in LLD COFF and ELF recently, and I’m confused by the use of CachedHashStringRef. From what I understand, a CachedHashStringRef combines a StringRef with a computed hash. There’s no caching going on in the CachedHashStringRef itself; that is, if you construct CachedHashStringRef("foo"), and then construct a second

Hi, I'm working on bug 122, consolidating the interface to the SymbolTable class. In doing so, I found the function below which traverses the symbol table but apparently unnecessarily. Before I remove the traversal, I thought I better check with you guys. Posted this to the list because it looks like _everyone_ has edited this file :) In the code below, the IOB variable is the only thing in

I mis-stated what I think should be deleted. The block of code from "GlobalVariable *IOB = 0;" to the end of the loop should be delted because the only effect the loop has is on the IOB variable and that variable is never used after the loop.

And, one more weird thing in this function. The FILESize static variable is never initialized so its likely initial value is 0 due to zero fill on many MMUs. The value is never written and used as a divisor. Why hasn't this function caused an arithmetic violation? Because the IOBBase point, also a static variable is initialized to zero and never modified and used in a conditional that thwarts

E.g. Is it intended to be allowed to call lld::elf::link in 2 different threads at the same time? Follows is an example Valgrind error I ran into when doing the above. I'll try putting a global resource lock on invoking LLD and see if it solves the problem. ==5467== Invalid write of size 8 ==5467== at 0x525509: llvm::DenseMapBase<llvm::DenseMap<llvm::CachedHashStringRef, int,

Hi Andrew, LLD relies on various bits of global state which are manipulated during the link, so I wouldn't expect it to be thread safe at that level, although it does attempt to reset that global state at the start of each call to link(), so it should be callable sequentially.

LLVMers, On the way to resolving bug 122, I am committing my SymbolTable rewrite. If you are working on anything that uses the SymbolTable, I suggest you read the documentation in include/llvm/SymbolTable.h. The changes I've committed reduce the use of Type::TypeTy. This static member will go away in the future, so please do not propagate new code that uses it. There is no reason to use it

Interestingly, I also get a similar error in a different executable (my unittest): pure virtual method called terminate called without an active exception 0 tartc 0x00000001010a8265 PrintStackTrace(void*) + 53 1 tartc 0x00000001010a88cc SignalHandler(int) + 364 2 libSystem.B.dylib 0x00007fff831341ba _sigtramp + 26 3 libSystem.B.dylib 0x7261742e65637365 _sigtramp +

Question 1: I am trying to get a function not to be inlined. What are llvm's rules pertaining to inlining? I have tried all of the standard gcc options for turning off inlining and they do not seem to work. Here is the sample code that I am working with: #include <stdio.h> void print_string(char* strval); int main() { char* strval = "Hello world\n"; while(1){

Hello, I have a couple of doubts, as listed below: 1. To list all the global variables in the module, I am iterating using type_iterator and for each Type I get, I am using value_iterator to iterate over Values . In the second iteration I am getting unexpected results. For each type obtained from type_iterator->second, value_iterator->first produces the same list as what

How is this done? Everything logical I have tried has failed, here was one attempt: Constant *C = (Constant*) ConstantArray::get(inst2string(I)); //fucnction defined elsewhere //generates a correct Global string GlobalVariable *str = new GlobalVariable(C->getType(), true, GlobalValue::InternalLinkage, C, mkStrName( strNumber++ ), &M); std::vector<Value*>
