Hi there, The IA64 architecture, which had its 'official' name changed to the "Itanium Processor Architecture", *is* supported by llc. I am pretty sure you are talking about the x86-64 architecture, which has also had its share of unfortunate name changes and is also known as "AMD64", "EM64T" and all sorts of things in between. x86-64 is *not* currently

pypy-0.7.0: first PyPy-generated Python Implementations ============================================================== What was once just an idea between a few people discussing on some nested mailing list thread and in a pub became reality ... the PyPy development team is happy to announce its first public release of a fully translatable self contained Python implementation. The 0.7 release

Hello LLVM-ers, Below you will a description of our new PyPy release, a project which (among many other things)generates one of the largest .ll files in existance. :-) This .ll gets compiled with the LLVM toolchain into a standalone executable of the Python language. I hope you find this interesting! cheers, Eric van Riet Paap ==============================================================

Hi, I am trying to replace a c-style function with another function with same signature. Consider the following code: std::stringstream main_c; main_c <<"#include <stdio.h>\n" <<"extern \"C\" { \n" <<"int print1()\n" <<"{\n" <<" printf(\"Inside

You are right, the machine I am on is a AMD Opteron. I could probably generate working code for x86, but I am testing the implications of using 64 bits integers. The four weeks is not really important, it's just that it would be nice to have really fast code to showcase. Something related to this: to test the effect of 64 bits integers I replace all reference of int by long in my .ll file.

Hello LLVM, During this sprint we will also look at using LLVM JIT for our project. What exactly we will do in Tokyo very much depends on who will attend. So if you are interested please contact me beforehand so we can make sure everyone will have a fun and productive time. cheers, Eric van Riet Paap Tokyo PyPy Sprint: 23rd - 29th April 2006

Hi, For the PyPy project ( http://codespeak.net/pypy ) I am working on the x64-64 support. I would like to use llc -march=ia64 to generate the assembly but that is not supported at the moment. As a workaround I let llc generate C code that gets compiled, but this unfortunately is not a good way to show the power of llvm. A understood this ia64 support will be worked on soon. First week of july

Hi, I'm testing how to free memory of a JIT'd function. I thought ExecutionEngine::freeMachineCodeForFunction() and Function::eraseFromParent() would work and did a test with the following sample code. But I found that the memory usage of the process is constantly growing as the while loop goes. Could someone shed light on this please? Here is the code. int main(int argc, char **argv) {

Hi, I put the sample code and a brief analysis using Valgrind to GitHub in order to make my problem clear. https://github.com/naosuke/how-to-free-memory-of-JIT-function The Valgrind heap profiler indicates memory leaking but I don't get what is wrong with the way to free memory. If someone could please offer some advice/suggestion on this, I would really appreciate it. Best, Naosuke On

Hi, this looks very promising. Do you have any plans to add bindings for the use of an ExecutionEngine, especially recompileAndRelinkFunction? I've build an interactive toplevel implemented in OCaml and I have to pull of some stunts to be able to change the definition of a function. (emit a .ll file containing the code, looking up the function and calling removeBody, then reading

hello everyone, I few days ago I had some code (for the PyPy project) that llc - march=c converted to a switch statement and gcc compiled that nicely to a jumptable in the .s file. Now I try to reproduce when directly going from a .ll to a .s file. But I now see a long list of compare and jumps instead of the jumptable. Is there a transformation that does this if->switch(ing) or is

There may be another explanation, but I've seen this sort of issues before: LLVM uses several object pools (associated w/ LLVM context and JIT engine), and often objects from these pools are leaked, or the pools grow infinitely due to implementation bugs. These are not an ordinary memory leaks, as destroying the LLVM context and/or JIT engine will successfully reclaim all the memory. The
