Hi again, Thank you, your suggestion worked well. I was looking for a pointer to void actually. But it seems that I do not get the memory address when passing the value of the GEP instruction.  For instance, when I print the address accessed by the second operandof the store instruction store %struct.linked* %tmp23.reload8, %struct.linked** %curr.037.reg2mem I obtain a memory address of the

Hello, Can anyone please guide me how can I replace a load instruction with a prefetch. I was looking at the intrinsic creation methods of the IRBuilder, but I can only find functions corresponding to memset, memcpy and memmove intrinsics, not for prefetching. Also, I target x86-64 architectures. Is it sufficient to insert a call to the intrinsic in the LLVM IR to have the corresponding prefetch

Hi Renato, No, I cannot, but in case it is, I want to take advantage of this. In case it is not, the instrumentation code will detect this at runtime and simply roll back to the original version. I will always keep an original version available, in addition to the ones I modify with Polly. However, initially I will speculate that it is allocated contiguously. Thanks, Alexandra

Hi Tobi, Thank you for your reply :). I know that array accesses are handled as pointers in LLVM, but as I understood Polly is focused on statically analysable code. As you mentioned: proving that pointer accesses actually represent virtual array accesses. In the case of a linked list for example, parsed with a pointer p = p->next, I expect that Polly will not handle this code. So I

Alexandra, I'm not sure what you mean by "replace", but I have code that does this to insert prefetches: Type *I8Ptr = Type::getInt8PtrTy((*I)->getContext(), PtrAddrSpace); Value *PrefPtrValue = ... IRBuilder<> Builder(MemI); Module *M = (*I)->getParent()->getParent(); Type *I32 = Type::getInt32Ty((*I)->getContext()); Value

Only because in my next passes I change the CFG significantly and it is very hard to maintain the values of the Phi nodes.

Hi, I try to write a FunctionPass that, among other tasks, has to clone some loops from the current function. How can I obtain the LPPassManager in order to use the CloneLoop function. In a LoopPass this is a parameter for the runOnLoop, but how can I obtain it in a FunctionPass? I tried simply by creating a new instance : ValueMap<const Value *, Value* > VMap;

Hi, I want to execute the iterations of a loop in parallel, by inserting calls either to pthreads or to the gomp library at the LLVM IR level. As a first step, I inserted an omp pragma in a C file and compiled it with llvm-gcc to check the generated LLVM code. If I understand correctly, to parallelize the loop in LLVM IR, I have to separate the loop in a new function, put all required parameters

Hello, I want to compile a LLVM file into an executable running on ARM platform. I use LLVM 2.0 with the following command lines: llvm-as -f -o test.bc test.ll llc -march=arm -mcpu=arm1136j-s -mattr=+v6 -f -o test.s test.bc arm-linux-gnu-as -mcpu=arm1136j-s test.s With the last command, I obtain the following error: rd and rm should be different in mul The bad instruction is

Hi, I have a question regarding the GEP instruction. Is it correct to consider that two GEP instructions compute the same memory address if and only if all their corresponding fields are equal? For instance, for a two-dimensional array of integers, can we have two GEP instructions that are equal?   %arrayidx = getelementptr [10 x [30 x i32]]* @main.B, i64 0, i64 0, i64 %tmp157   %tmp =

Hello, How can I compute the functions on the loop iterators used as array indices?  For example: for i = 0, N       for j = 0, M             A[2*i + j - 10] = ...  Can I obtain that this instruction A[2*i + j - 10]= .. always accesses memory using a function       f(i,j)   =   2*i + j - 10 + base_address_of_A If I run the scalar evolution pass on this code I obtain: %arrayidx =

Hello Tobi, You are right, we need to run some other passes before running the scalar evolution pass. The sequence that I run for this example is -O3 -loop-simplify -reg2mem.  This is why I did not obtain the expressions depending on the loop indices. So I removed the reg2mem pass and scalar evolution computes the correct functions. However, I need to run the reg2mem pass (or any other that

Hi, I plan to do some speculative parallelization in LLVM using Polly and I target loops that contain pointers and indirect references. As far as I know, Polly generates optimized code starting from the SCoPs, therefore I plan to replace all pointer accesses with array accesses, such that Polly will accept the code. Each array access should use a liner function of the enclosing loops indices.

Hi, I would like to force the minimum number of bits allocated for a variable in memory to be 16. From what I have seen, i1 is already represented on 8 bits. So, the only change would be to represent i1 and i8 on 16 bits, as all other types already fulfill this condition. TargetData can help by setting a higher alignment, thus although the type is i1 or i8, the number of allocated bits is 16.
