Dear All, To add to this, you can find examples of inserting NOPs for X86 in the CFI pass originally written at Lehigh University that we ported to 64-bit X86 for SVA: https://github.com/jtcriswell/SVA/blob/master/llvm/lib/Target/X86/X86CFIOptPass.cpp Alternatively, you could use an InlineAsm call at the LLVM IR level (which I think would be easier to implement).

​Hi. I want to change order of code basic blocks in memory. I visited " http://llvm.org/docs/ExtendingLLVM.html" page and it advised me to ask it before any effort. What parts of LLVM help me and how? I am a newbie on LLVM. Thanks. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Dear all, I have prepared a new package to install in R, I tried to check my package and I got the following message ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 232sub141:~ zahra$ R CMD check /Users/zahra/Desktop/HighProbability * checking for working latex ...

Hi Graham, Thank you for offering help. I am trying to create a reproducer. The problem is that the crashes happen whilst LTO is used. One thing I am sure about IR is broken at compile time.

Hi Wei, Thank you for information. Please let me know about any progress in fixing the failures. I can help with checking that the final patch gives the same level of performance improvements.

Dear R Support Team, I am experiencing an issue with my R package during the `R CMD check` process. A non-standard file named `vert.txt` is being generated in the check directory, causing a NOTE in the check results. Despite adding `vert.txt` to `.Rbuildignore`, the file is still appearing. And, there are no commands in any part of my package's code that would generate this file. Here

Confirm there is no change in IR if the hack is disabled in the sources. David wrote that these instructions are created by SCEV. Are other targets affected by the changes, e.g. X86?

For huge C++ projects this could improve link time if GC is a bottleneck. It will also improve eh_frame_hdr build time because you don’t spend time on parsing garbage. However a linker will have to have two versions of GC:

Hi Evgeny, Quentin and Matthias found it was a problem about subreg live range update and will push a fix soon (http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-commits/Week-of-Mon-20170123/424126.html).

Hi Igor, > It sounds like the linker has to be aware of the .eh_frame section details to be able to generate .eh_frame_hdr and eliminate duplicate CIEs, right? Yes, a linker needs some details but not all of them. It needs to know sizes of records and initial locations (PC Begin) to find out which functions FDEs belong to. > So, is there any difference whether it knows that in one place

Hi Wei, Your reversion of rL292621 caused about 7% performance regressions in our benchmark on Cortex-M7/M4. In your commit comment I see it causes build bot failures. What kind are the failures? Compiler crashes or incorrect code generation? Will you fix them? We are interested in the changes because of performance improvements they give. Kind regards, Evgeny Astigeevich Senior Compiler

Hello All, This conversations seems to have fizzled out and I would like to try to revive it. My intention is to pick up where Graham left off with enabling partial-inlining by default.

Hi Evgeny, I just realized that if these are compile-time errors I can help investigate on my end. Do you have something I can use to reproduce?

Forgot to add that all experiments were done with '-O3 -m64 -fexperimental-new-pass-manager'.

Before the fix, the compiler may simply return 'noalias' for cases it can not really prove to be noalias, but actually correct by luck (or even wrong noalias, but does not result in miscompile). It would be useful to find out the set of missed noalias queries from GlobalModRef with your benchmark and examine if there is some improvement can be done. David On Fri, Jul 17, 2015 at 6:32
