Thanks for the pointer, it's always helpful to be able to see how another project solved similar problems. > On Mar 8, 2016, at 11:24 AM, Andy Ayers <andya at microsoft.com> wrote: > > FWIW, LLILC (https://github.com/dotnet/llilc) uses MCJIT with a custom memory manager to hold onto the binary bits and discard the rest. > > As far as I know it doesn't leak, though

This may seem odd, but I want to really encourage the list to help Larry Gritz with this issue. I've been following the development of his project (OpenShadingLanguage) for months now and he has a *very* good use case for LLVM. It may be tempting to just "send him to the docs", but if anyone here can help take their use of LLVM to the next level, I can tell you that many, many people

Is there a succinct way I can get the full list of which optimization passes are applied, and in what order, for standard clang -O1, -O2, -O3? -- Larry Gritz lg at larrygritz.com

I have an app that's dynamically generating and JITing code, and will have many such cases in the course of its run. They need to be JITed separately, because I need to execute the first batch before I know what the second one will be. Of course, I *still* need to execute the first after the need for the second arises, so I need to retain the JITed machine code for all the functions I

Why does the function pass manager have doInitialization/doFinalization, but the global pass manager doesn't?

YES. My use of LLVM involves an app that JITs program after program and will quickly swamp memory if everything is retained. It is crucial to aggressively throw everything away but the functions we still need to execute. I've been faking it with old JIT (llvm 3.4/3.5) by using a custom subclass of JITMemoryManager that squirrels away the jitted binary code so that when I free the Modules,

Yes, both before and after the set of optimization passes. So let me clarify what I'm doing: I

Ah, that's helpful. I knew that I'd need to end up with PTX as text, not a true binary, but I would have figured that it would come out of MCJIT. Thanks for helping to steer me away from the wrong trail. OK, one more question: Can anybody clarify the pros and cons of generating the PTX through the standard LLVM distro, versus using the "libnvvm" that comes with the Cuda SDK?

I need to retain the machine code indefinitely, but I want to free all possible other resources that are

Hi, Daniel! We

There is no MCJIT support for PTX at the moment (mainly because PTX does not have a binary format, and is not machine code per se). To generate PTX at run-time, you just set up a standard codegen pass manager like you would like an off-line compiler. The output will be a string buffer that contains the PTX, which you can load into the CUDA runtime. As for determining if PTX support is compiled

I have a whole slew of questions about optimization passes. Answers to any or all would be extremely helpful: How important are doInitialization/doFinalization? I can't detect any difference if I use them or not. Why does the function pass manager have doInitialization/doFinalization, but the global pass manager doesn't? If I am applying the function passes to many functions, do I

Hi Larry, Thanks so much! This seems to do the trick. I would have spun my wheels for > a long time before discovering all of this, wow. No worries. :) I'll try to keep this in mind and make sure I address it in future Kaleidoscope tutorial chapters - these issues tripped me up the first time I encountered them too. Do I even want to know what additional chickens need to be sacrificed

OK, fine -- an example of MCJIT that sets up for PTX JIT would also be helpful.

Hi Gael, I tried converting to your approach but I had some issues making sure that all symbols accessed by the jit modules have entries in the dynamic symbol table. To be specific, my current approach is to use MCJIT (using an objectcache) to JIT the runtime module and then let MCJIT handle linking any references from the jit'd modules; I just experimented with what I think you're doing,

>> llvm::sys::DynamicLibrary::LoadLibraryPermanently(nullptr) This is one is a bit tricky and hard to find. I spent quiet some time digging into MC and ORC JIT execution engines trying to find what makes them work. The problem is that this trick (LoadLibraryPermanently) happens inside of EngineBuilder, despite that the functionality belongs to a JIT engine itself, not to the builder. I
