Hi! I've attached my first week of work as a patchset for review. This is also available on Github [1]. By next Monday I intend to (more or less) finish up the preliminary parts concerning the codegen; and start working on the runtime (so that I can do a basic sanity check).

Guys, regarding alloca. not only are exceptions a problem here, but just plain old "longjmp". -Peter Lawrence.

Hi llvmdev! I've been working on adding coroutines to LLVM. Mentioned below is the implementation plan I'm following, for suggestions, flames and other input. Using segmented stacks is a prerequisite. The idea is to associate every coroutine with a coroutine descriptor. A coroutine descriptor consists of four words: w0, w1, w2 and w3. w0 always contains the _launcher_, and invoking a

Yes, On IRC Sanjoy pointed out that it should be possible to handle this by changing longjmp. I am not sure it can be done in general. The alloca might have been called a dynamic number of times for example. In fact, now that I

I think my only comment is that, while this would probably work, implementing it in C with a bit of assembly for

Hi! I've been working on coroutines for some time, and it seems you were right - it makes much more sense to have regular C (and assembly) code for handling coroutines. For instance, I'd otherwise would have to make an assumption about the threading model the platform has (or assume there are no threads at all, which prevents me from allowing goroutine like ("run parallel till you

I'm very interested in seeing support for stack/context switching in LLVM, if only for prototyping language ideas. I'm particularly interested in mechanisms that would make it possible to implement full asymmetric coroutines as described in "Revisiting Coroutines" (Moura & Ierusalimschy, Feb 2009 TOPLAS). From skimming the thread and looking at the llvm-stack-switch wiki, it

Nice work! + extern bool EnableSegmentedStacks; Can you add a comment like the other declarations? I think the patch looks good. There are possible improvements, but the patch is already in an state where it can be tested and extended

Hi all: Below is a proposal to add experimental coroutine support to LLVM. Though this proposal is motivated primarily by the desire to support C++ Coroutines [1], the llvm representation is language neutral and can be used to support coroutines in other languages as well. Clang + llvm coroutines allows you to take this code: generator<int> range(int from, int to) { for(int i =

Hi llvm-dev! I have attached the current state of my GSoC work in patches [1] for review; this currently allows LLVM to correctly handle functions running out of stack space and variable sized stack objects. Firstly, since I think it is better to get things merged in small chunks, I'd like to have some specific feedback on where my work stands in terms of mergeability. Secondly, I had been

Hello all, It's been a month since my previous email on the topic, and since then I've done some initial work on porting the coroutines passes to the new pass manager. In total there are 6 patches -- that's a lot to review, so allow me to introduce the changes being made in each of them. # What's finished In these first 6 patches, I focused on lowering coroutine intrinsics

That all makes sense. I don't think the name "synthetic" is all that intuitive, though. Enum attributes are pretty cheap, maybe we should try to use a name closer to what we're trying to implement? For example, we could add a new "coroutine_foo" attribute for every coroutine style we implement. We would have analysis helper functions to answer questions like "is

Summary I would like to propose that we add the following function attribute to LLVM: synthetic(<string>) This attribute can only be applied to functions. It is not a semantic statement about the function it decorates. It is, instead, an explicit directive to LLVM to not attempt to propagate information about the function body outside of the function, including by changing the
