similar to: [LLVMdev] AArch64: GHC compilation issue.

All, I would like to submit the attached patch, which allows the GHC (Glasgow Haskell Compiler) calling convention to work on ARM targets. Could some nice person please review this code, so I can move towards getting it committed? I have thoroughly tested this patch again GHC on a Debian-ARM (armel) system. Unfortunately my understanding of LLVM is limited, so it's likely I'm not

Hi Steve, I'm not an LLVM developer but am the author/maintainer of the LLVM backend in GHC. The patch looks mostly good to me (although I am not that familiar with ARM so could easily have missed something). My main concern is why are you avoiding using the R0 - R3 registers? Also, could you please update me on the status of this work. I assume you are getting GHC running in registerised

Hello, today is the last day[1] when someone might ask for feature merge into the LLVM 3.0 release. I'd like to ask you to merge attached patch. This is implementation of GHC calling convention on ARM platform which is made by Stephen Blackheath with few additions by me. I hope that although the patch does not contain any test case, it still will be merged. The reason for this is that

Hello, first of all: one of the LLVM 3.0 new feature was a support for GHC specific calling convention on ARM platform. It looks like this support was merged just into 3.0 branch, specifically it appeared in 3.0 RC2. Anyway, I hope this is just a mistake or omission that such support was merged only into 3.0 and not also into HEAD. I've just found it by testing LLVM 3.1 with GHC 7.4.2 and

Hello Cameron, thanks a lot for your fast answer, which just makes me curious if making ARM tailcalls on par with x86 in the future is on some of the development plans already? If not, then what do you think is the complexity of such work? Thanks! Karel On 06/17/11 10:41 PM, Cameron Zwarich wrote: > They work pretty well now, at least on Thumb2 / Darwin.

I don't know if GuaranteedTailCallOpt is in anyone's plans. It might be a good idea to implement some time. I am not sure what GHC's exact needs are, though.

David, Thanks for that - I emailed Karel Gardas. I've got GHC successfully registerised on ARM, and I'm just starting on pushing it upstream. The reason why I'm avoiding the R0-R3 registers is mainly because my qemu-based ARM VM takes days to compile everything, and I was being conservative. The GHC code can call directly out to C, so it would need to save its own R0-R3 when it

Hello, I'm working on implementing GHC specific call convention into LLVM 2.9. I've chosen LLVM 2.9 as a kind of stable reference point and I would like to know how mature is ARM code generation chain inside this release. I've had a hope that perhaps Apple as a main sponsor of LLVM is using LLVM for their ARM based iOS software development, but I'm not sure if I'm right

Hello, I've compiled today's LLVM on ARM/Linux machine and attempted to use our GHC/ARM port (which is using LLVM as a backend for generating machine code) with it but I've failed in compiling GHC alone as LLVM fails on me with following message: llc: /export/home/karel/vcs/llvm-ghc-arm/lib/CodeGen/MachineInstr.cpp:612: void llvm::MachineInstr::addOperand(const

They work pretty well now, at least on Thumb2 / Darwin. It is still fairly conservative about when to use tail calls, and doesn't support GuaranteedTailCallOpt, which might be necessary for GHC.

Hi Jim and Eric! thanks a lot for your fantastically fast reply. I'm going to update and will report tomorrow when all the building is done. Thanks!

John, I've moved with patches to HEAD and unfortunately the comments about disabling tailcalls do not go away with this update. Please see ARMTargetLowering::LowerCall in lib/Target/ARM/ARMISelLowering.cpp line 1208 and later. It looks like man can use -arm-tail-calls, but one never knows how good it is since the comment tells it clearly: // Temporarily disable tail calls so things
