I'd like to make my compiler independent, just like Clang. Doesn't Clang call llc and then system's ld by itself? I don't want my compiler to depend by any other program. I guess there will be a class in the llvm library that generates the object files based on the system's triple and data layout, and then call the system's ld? > On Mar 19, 2016, at 11:48 AM, Bruce

If you plan on calling C runtime library functions, you probably want to do what I did: Cheat, and make a libruntime.a (with C functions to do stuff your compiler can't do natively) and then link that using clang or gcc. https://github.com/Leporacanthicus/lacsap/blob/master/binary.cpp#L124 At some point, I plan to replace my runtime library with native Pascal code, at which point I will be

Adding back the "all recipients" - sorry, sending message from my phone, I forgot... Since my runtime is for a Pascal compiler, it has to "adapt" the C startup into a suitable Pascal environment. This means running the init portion of other modules as well as discarding the argc, argv arguments. So, I have a C main, which calls __PascalMain, which is the "main" for

Hi, everyone. I am new to llvm and I want to use C function “malloc" and “free" to do heap allocation, but It seems it is not a built-in function like ‘’printf” so I got an error “Unknown extern function”. I use ExecutionEngineer to run my main function and how should I do to make EE link the C library I want. Thanks.

I got a little problems with strings (const char pointers). Global variables holding the string literal are declared correctly, but i have a problem when I pass this string to a function: it asserts with this message. Assertion failed: ((i >= FTy->getNumParams() || FTy->getParamType(i) == Args[i]->getType()) && "Calling a function with a bad signature!"), function

Thanks, so what’s the point of these rules?

This is my module's dump, which is different than yours. I wonder how I can get the external thing for my function. define double @sum(double, double) { entry: call void @FooBar() %tmp = fadd double %0, %1 ret double %tmp } ; ModuleID = 'My_Module' define double @sum(double, double) { entry: call void @FooBar() %tmp = fadd double %0, %1 ret double %tmp } declare void

I tried to emit IR for a function that returns the sum between an signed char and a double in C++, just to see how Clang handles type implicit casting. Can you explain me why Clang converted the char type into a 32-bit integer type before casting it to a floating point? Can a sitofp i8 %3 to double be done or is it wrong? define i32 @_Z5sumad(i8 signext %x, double %y) #0 { %1 = alloca i8,

I'm having a problem of being unable to call into an arbitrary function that is loaded into memory whose pointer address is known to me but was not linked into LLVM. I have added the function and called LLVMAddGlobalMapping with the pointer, and the program segfaults. I was wondering if it is a supported scenario that LLVM can generate a call into an arbitrary function that is not linked.

You may want to try adding this code (copy/pasted from llc.cpp): // Initialize targets first, so that --version shows registered targets. InitializeAllTargets(); InitializeAllTargetMCs(); InitializeAllAsmPrinters(); InitializeAllAsmParsers(); // Initialize codegen and IR passes used by llc so that the -print-after, // -print-before, and -stop-after options work. PassRegistry

Passes all need to be initialized before they are added into a pass manager. Are you calling TargetLibraryInfoWrapperPass::initializePass anywhere? -Chris > On Mar 24, 2016, at 10:41 AM, Lorenzo Laneve via llvm-dev <llvm-dev at lists.llvm.org> wrote: > > The problems happens because PMTopLevelManager::findAnalysisPassInfo(AnalysisID AID) returns nullptr in

Those lines of code are in a function that is called before calling the moduleToObjectFile() function > On Mar 24, 2016, at 6:07 PM, Mehdi Amini <mehdi.amini at apple.com> wrote: > > You may want to try adding this code (copy/pasted from llc.cpp): > > // Initialize targets first, so that --version shows registered targets. > InitializeAllTargets(); >

The problems happens because PMTopLevelManager::findAnalysisPassInfo(AnalysisID AID) returns nullptr in PMTopLevelManager::addImmutablePass(ImmutablePass *P). This because PassRegistry::getPassRegistry()->getPassInfo(AID) call in it returns nullptr as well. Should I probably register the pass I want to add with PassRegistry::registerPass(const PassInfo &PI, bool ShouldFree) ? I didn’t do it

My idea was to create a complete backend treating Java as a normal platform, to enable LLVM to compile programs to Java Bytecode (.class) and Java Archive files (.jar). This could be useful in situations where we need to compile a program for a platform still not natively supported by LLVM. I don't know if it exists already, I've heard about this "LLJVM" but I don't think it

Update: Sorry my bad. I built llvm and tried it with debugging version. It was an assertion (IR/LegacyPassManager.cpp:764) saying that it expects all immutable passes to be initialized. > On Mar 24, 2016, at 2:00 AM, Lorenzo Laneve <lore97drk at icloud.com> wrote: > > I’m using LLVM 3.8.0, and no, it’s the precompiled version > That’s why it doesn’t give me enough info for

That’s not entirely true. They need to get the memory that they provide to programs from somewhere. They may provide their own pool allocators, but they will often
