While browsing the configure generated llvm/Config/config.h, I'm noticed that the macros: HAVE_FFI_CALL HAVE_FFI_FFI_H HAVE_FFI_H are not defined on OS X (currently 10.6.5). Given that ffi exists on this platform (both headers and lib), is this result intended? Thanks Garrison

Ok, I've isolated the recent additions that cause the issue and supplied a patch which is NOT meant to be applied, but instead solely exists for identification purposes for those who know what they are doing. :-) The patch is offset from HEAD. The patch is a hack which removes use of the MCSymbol::isDefined(...) method, as its use happens to break in the exception JIT context; both in

Hi Garrison, Does r101453 fix this? -Chris On Mar 22, 2010, at 12:35 PM, Garrison Venn wrote: > Ok, I've isolated the recent additions that cause the issue and supplied a patch which is NOT meant > to be applied, but instead solely exists for identification purposes for those who know what they are doing. :-) > The patch is offset from HEAD. > > The patch is a hack which

Forgot to add platform with issue: OS X 10.6.2. I have not tested elsewhere.

Hi Chris, The MCSymbol r98459 patch of llvm seems to have broken the ExceptionDemo example. As the example is dying in the associated personality's first unwind search phase, which happens to have no language specific context, and is returning a _URC_CONTINUE_UNWIND, I believe the issue is generic and not specific to the example. However I'm not sure why then this wasn't seen in one

Is there a way using llvm::TargetData to determine the alignment of what would be equivalent to __attribute__((__aligned__))? I'm looking for something like a max alignment number for the target platform so that I know what the max alignment of an address returned by malloc(...) will be. Thanks in advance Garrison

Hey Duncan, Yup, you are correct. Just tested to make sure. Invoking _Unwind_RaiseException(...) directly still sets up personality function (and calls it during exception search/cleanup), in corresponding frame headers for frame containing invoke. Well ... ok, at least in a JIT execution environment. :-) I thought maybe __gcc_personality_v0(...) was being called instead. However, I also just

Ah, --enable-libffi. Any pointers as why this is not a default check for at least UNIX systems? Does Windows have the equivalent?

On OS X (10.6.2) running on an Intel Core 2 duo with LLVM 2.7 pulled about a month ago from CVS and built in debug mode: Using the JIT system with exception handling, I am having issues with type infos. "Finally" code (llvm.eh.selector intrinsic call with 0) works fine (correct landing pads found), as does this call with one type info. My type infos are each 64 bit array GlobalVariables

Just installed CentOS 5.1 on VMware ESX and am attempting to play with the newly added tick_divider feature. It doesn't seem to be making any difference in the number of timer interrupts though. I set tick_divider=10 which should reduce the number of timer interrupts to 100. I wrote a nasty little scripts that queries /proc/interrupts every 1 second and still see an increase each second in

Sorry, these IRBuilder methods are really in IRBuilderBase.

Ok thanks I'll try that. I was trying to avoid re-building llvm-gcc.

So I gather this means that malloc was removed from the IR because there are platforms that don't have non-stack allocation semantics?

I four nodes setup to do active-backup bonding and the drivers loaded for the bonded network interfaces vary between tg3 and e100. All interfaces with the e100 driver loaded report errors much like what you see here: bonding: bond0: link status definitely down for interface eth2, disabling it e100: eth2: e100_watchdog: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex bonding: bond0: link status definitely up for

Several people on this list have reported issues with the linker regarding a named StructType instance with the same name in two different modules being resolved into two StructTypes with different names due to StructType:: setName(…) collision behavior. Looking at BitcodeReader::ParseTypeTableBody(…), I don't see use of LLVMContextImpl::NamedStructTypes or of Module::getTypeByName(…). Nor do

I've worked around this issue in my test case by simply calling my personality function on program to ensure it's JIT'ed before any unwind happens. -- James 2010/1/22 Garrison Venn <gvenn.cfe.dev at gmail.com> > No, there is no magic. :-) > > To me though, the tools are magic, because I have no clue what they are > doing without looking at them and using them. >

Hi Chris, Thanks for the review! I believe I caught most of the syntax style issues with the attached patch. It only contains these style changes.
