similar to: [LLVMdev] creating a constant with the address of another constant

I had some problems adding the address of a jump table to the constant pool. The problem is that the address of a jump table is not a GlobalValue.Currently I decided to expand BRIND so that I can work on simpler problems :-) A small brain dump on the issue: GlobalValues are currently used to represent functions and global variables. Maybe we could also use then for anything that will have a label

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 --------------

Since the target calls the emitter with functions such as writeByte, writeWord, etc.... the SizeEmitter class implements these function by incrementing a counter.

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?

Reviewing it a little, I can not see how things won't be duplicated.

I am having some problems with the generated code having wrong constants in the constant pull. Adding a dump of "C" and "E" in SelectionDAG::getConstantPool I get C: ---------------------------------------------------------- %str = internal constant [12 x sbyte] c"Hello World\00" ; <[12 x sbyte]*> [#uses=1]

I think that the problem is in SelectionDAG::getConstantPool itself. Only Alignment and Offset are used in the ID. This causes false aliases. X86TargetLowering::LowerFABS should also be affected. All of its calls to getConstantPool have the same alignment and offset. Best Regards, Rafael

Hi, I am creating a new backend for a custom microcontroller. In order to create the backend I am modifying from Mips backend. My architecture has a store instruction with direct address mode. It accepts two arguments: source register and address (immediate). This instruction is not available in Mips, but it is in Hexagon, so I copied from Hexagon the following, adapting it to my registers: -

On x86 targets it's usually 16 for both preferred and ABI. I guess you're using a target with a lower ABI alignment for vectors? > This seems to
