Dear all, Here's a new patch with Evan's comments (thx Evan!) and some cleanups. Now the (duplicated) exception handling code is in a new file: lib/ExecutionEngine/JIT/JITDwarfEmitter. This patch should work on linux/x86 and linux/ppc (tested). Nicolas -------------- next part -------------- An embedded and charset-unspecified text was scrubbed... Name: jit-exceptions.patch URL:

Looks sane. Thanks.

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

Thx again Evan for the review. Here's a new patch for the JIT in itself. The major changes are: 1) A JITMemoryManager now has a flag saying "I require to know the size of what you want to emit" 2) DwarfJITEmitter is augmented with GetSize* functions 3) JITEmitter::startFunction checks if the JITMemoryManager requires to know the size. If so, it computes it and gives it through the

Since the target calls the emitter with functions such as writeByte, writeWord, etc.... the SizeEmitter class implements these function by incrementing a counter. At the end of the pass, the code size of the

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.

Hi Evan, My apologies: I've been so excited on sharing the functionality that I forgot to review my patch!

Hi all, The AsmPrinter class supports functions like EmitInt8, EmitInt16, and EmitInt32 for writing a 1/2/4 byte directive to the assembly. Each of these calls the MCStreamer::EmitIntValue method with the corresponding size. For some reason, there is no EmitInt64, and I was wondering if there was a fundamental reason why? The EmitIntValue function appears to support 8-byte inputs. I dug into

Hello! Working with LLVM JIT-compiler I found a small bug and I'd like to correct it. Namely, on some tests LLVM fails with message "JIT: Ran out of space for generated machine code!" This error emerges because the test creates big static array. Global variables are placed into memory block for function, that is first seen using given variable. Besides, during memory allocation

DWARF already needs to emit 64-bit values, being the type-unit hashes. How is that being done? (If it's going directly to the streamer, then we're already assuming all assemblers are okay with what the streamer does, and adding an AsmPrinter helper seems very reasonable.) --paulr From: llvm-dev [mailto:llvm-dev-bounces at lists.llvm.org] On Behalf Of James Henderson via llvm-dev Sent:
