[LLVMdev] Defining/Accessing Structs Dynamically
I have most of the code working but I'm running into two issues: 1. I'm not sure exactly how to return a structure on the stack. Right now, I'm allocating one with alloca, but it seems I can only return a pointer to it, not the structure itself. Is there any way to dereference the pointer? 2. On the calling side, I get a structure as a return value. However, it seems GEP is

[LLVMdev] Instruction Combining Pass *Breaking* Struct Reads?
I'm in a situation where I have code that works fine if I don't run the instruction combining optimization pass, but breaks when I do. The code in question is meant to allocate space for two structs on the stack using alloca, and then pass pointers to these to a callee function. One struct serves to store the input to the function, the other serves for the callee function to write its

[LLVMdev] Explicitly Freeing Allocas
That sounds rather cumbersome, is there no simpler way to get the actual size of a struct?

[LLVMdev] Linking with C Library
>> You need to figure out how to pass -rdynamic to the linker, like I said before. http://llvm.org/docs/tutorial/OCamlLangImpl7.html mentions it, but I don't know enough about the ocaml build process to say whether that'll work.

[LLVMdev] Linking with C Library
I'm coding a JIT compiler for C source in OCaml, using LLVM. I'm pretty much done with the LLVM code generation. The problem is that I can't seem to call C library functions. I was told that all I needed to do to be able to link with libc functions was to declare them in my module and give them external linkage, but this does not seem to work. Please note that this is a JIT compiler. I

In the TargetData class (available from you ExecutionEngine), you have some informations available (such as StructLayout...).

[LLVMdev] On-Stack Replacement & Code Patching
I am interested in writing a JIT that makes use of on-stack replacement. This essentially means that the JIT must be able to compile new versions of already compiled functions (eg: more optimized versions) and ensure that the code for the new functions is executed. I was wondering if LLVM offers any support for this. Suppose a function f calls a function g, and f is recompiled while g is running,

[LLVMdev] Linking with C Library
I tried running nm - D | grep "puts" on the binary compiled by the OCaml compiler. It outputs the following: 08161b00 T camlRuntime__rt_fputs_208 08161a20 T camlRuntime__rt_puts_198 U fputs I'm assuming this means that fputs is linked dynamically, and puts is not. I tried modifying my code to use fputs instead of puts instead, but had no success, however, I still get:

In C, on Linux, you would have to link your JIT compiler with -rdynamic or -Wl,-export-dynamic (they're synonyms). I'm not sure what the equivalent linker flag is for OCaml. You can see what symbols are available to the JIT with `nm -D`. On Sun, Apr 4, 2010 at 8:41 AM, Nyx <mcheva at cs.mcgill.ca> wrote: > > I'm coding a JIT compiler for C source in OCaml, using LLVM.

[LLVMdev] C Compiler written in OCaml, Pointers Wanted
Hello, For a course project, I am required to write a compiler for some language of my choice, and this compiler has to be implemented in a functional language. I have chosen create a *JIT* compiler for C source, and to implement my compiler in OCaml using LLVM for the back-end. I have experience using LLVM in C++ (I wrote a MATLAB JIT compiler not long ago), however, I am a bit puzzled as to how

[LLVMdev] Int1 to Double Type Conversion
Hello, I would like to know if there is an instruction to convert values from the Int1 type to the Double type in LLVM. I would like to achieve the equivalent of casting a bool value to a double value in C++. Doing the simple CreateSIToFP or CreateUIToFP does not work, it throws an assertion ("invalid cast"). I simply want to avoid branching it's not necessary. What's the

[LLVMdev] Phi Node Question
I'm designing a JIT compiler and I have a potentially problematic situation. The functions I compile may need to create/access an object during their execution. In the case where this object won't be needed, I'd rather avoid generating code to creating the object, as this is a slight performance waste. Unfortunately, it's rather difficult to know whether this will be the case

[LLVMdev] Pointer to String Constant
I'm writing a C compiler in OCaml and I've run into a small problem. I wrote the following piece of code to generate a pointer to a string constant, so I could compile C expressions of the form "const char* p = "test\n";" : let strval = const_stringz codecontext v in dump_value strval; dump_value i32_zero; const_gep strval [| i32_zero; i32_zero |] The dump statements

[LLVMdev] Explicitly Freeing Allocas
I went ahead and implemented the allocation based on the maximum size of all structs seen so far... The problem is, the TargetData object from ExecutionEngine gives me a size of 12 for a struct containing a pointer and an i64 (on a 32-bit machine). However, the generated code seems to assume an alignment of 8, and tries to read the i64 value at offset 8, which obviously reads an invalid value.

[LLVMdev] Pointer to String Constant
>> It's hard to tell without more of the source code, but you probably need something like: >> getelementptr [6 x i8] * c"test\0A\00", i32 0, i32 0 Isn't that pretty much what I have? I'm doing a constant gep on the string constant, which registers as an array of type [6 x i8], with two i32 0 indices. Note that I tried with a non-constant gep also, and it does
