I was going through documentation and source lately, and I decided how to make llvm bytecode more compatible to C++: 1) thiscall sould be introduced, which would take N arguments and the first argument would always be the C++ "this" argument. This would abstract llvm compiler dependant C++ code emition. 2) the ret instruction should be able to return structs (as Chris has already

Hi all, I've been following LLVM for a couple of years, and though I've not found an occasion to use it (yet), I'm always curious about its potential uses. I was discussing with friends about the Cell processor, and some of the arguments were that it is difficult to program and difficult to optimize. One of the concerns was that the PPE (central processor) is "in

Hello! I have a question how about JIT-ed code and the C++ compiler compatibily. My project (www.baadengine.org) will use llvm and we will provide integration of JIT-ed code directly into C++ code. This means that C++ code can call JIT code just like any other code and JIT-ed code can call C++ code. We will compile to your bytecode from our BSF format. The question is if it is possible this

Hello! I am currently trying to make EH (exception handling) possible to be integrated in C++. This means that C++ code can throw exceptions and llvm code can catch such exception and llvm can throw exceptions that C++ can catch (or pass through). There are quite some difficulties with approach: * I must write ABI specific backends for EH. Since we support Visual Studio and GCC, two

Hi everyone! I am working on a .NET based project (actually written in C#). During the coding, we have noticed many inefficiencies of C# compiler to optimize code. Compiler performs only a few optimisations. A vital optimisation, inlining, is missed. The JIT-er has rules not to inline methods containing structs as parameters (this is really stupid!) and inlining methods longer than 20 bytes

Hello, everyone! My name is Žiga Osolin and I am one of administrators of baadengine project (www.baadengine.org). It is an open source, BSD-licenced, game engine. We are very interested in llvm to provide us runtime code generation (basically, wrappers to easily call scripts from C++ and vica-versa, via vtbl (we replace vtbl for scripted types)) and also to allow our VM to run on llvm. Our

I was wondering if (and when) is the full C++ compiling support (as it was with llvm3) to be expected (this mainly means the addition of EH to llvm)? Regards, Žiga

Hello, I've managed to get LLVM 1.8 to build properly with MSVC8 with some effort. Most of the changes necessary were very minor C++ usage issues; for instance, VC8 can't deal with prototyping something that's really a class as 'struct Foo;' or vice versa (it creates issues with matching function signatures during linking.) Additionally, I had to do quite a few updates to the

Hello (again)! I fixed most of the system and the following projects compile now: * Analysis * AsmParser * Bytecode * CBeckend * Codegen * ExecutionEngine * Support * System * TableGen * Target * Transforms * VMCore I would like to compile at least x86 target as well as Fibonacci example (to test if it really works). In order to do so, I may need some hints: 1) How to generate

Hi all! Does anyone successfully use the VC8/VS2005 command line tools (cl.exe and link.exe) with wine yet? I'm trying to setup VC8 in our cross compiling environment (which already works perfectly with VC7), but have some problems here. After some tries, I can now run cl.exe with wine to compile our sources (although some command line parameters cause the program to crash, but that's not

I made the windows port, the first example compiled and executed correctly. I am sending a patch so you can test it if i didn't break linux compatibility. Otherwise, I will look into deja-gnu testing, perhaps can compile it on windows. I will also add other beckend in the future (Sparc, PowerPC). I hope windows using Visual C++ will be soon officially supported :) About the problem I had
