Hi Sanjoy: >> Now in the above CFG %val can be folded to 10, but in reality you need >> a PHI of 10 and 20 Quick answer: folding %val to 10 is OK, but, I would prefer it to be 'undef' or even catch it in the verifier as it is a programmer/frontend error. Details are in the second half of my reply. I would like to start with the thought experiment you suggested, as it might

I have this input IR in the final cleanup block of my coroutine: // call the free function call fastcc void %22(%Allocator* %20, %"[]u8"* byval %4), !dbg !244 // based on whether this is an early return or a normal return, we want to // either return to the caller, or resume the handle of the awaiter br i1 %19, label %Resume, label %Return, !dbg !244 Resume:

Hi, I would like to propose a potential solution to a bug that involves coroutine and pthread_self(). Description of the bug can be found in https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47833. Below is a summary: pthread_self() from glibc is defined with "__attribute__ ((__const__))". The const attribute tells the compiler that it does not read nor write any global state and hence always

Got it. I am new to this and learning a lot over the course of this thread. Thank you

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

I think I got it. Original model (with coro.fork and two-way coro.suspend) will work with a tiny tweak. In the original model, I was replacing coro.suspend with br %return in original function. The problem was coming from potential phi-nodes introduces into return block during optimizations. Let's make sure that there is only entry into the return block. In the original model, ReturnBB had

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 =

Hello all! (+cc Vedant Kumar, who I've been told knows a lot about UBSan!) I am trying to fix an assert that occurs when the transforms in llvm/lib/Transforms/Coroutines are applied to LLVM IR that has been generated with UBSan enabled -- specifically, '-fsanitize=null'. You can see an example of the assert in this 26-line C++ file here: https://godbolt.org/g/Gw9UZq Note that

It makes sense that you would be able to do this: %save1 = llvm.coro.save() %unused = musttail call llvm.coro.resume(%some_handle) %x = llvm.coro.suspend() ... But the docs for musttail say: > The call must immediately precede a ret instruction, or a pointer bitcast followed by a ret instruction. Should this be amended to allow a musttail to be followed by llvm.coro.suspend() ? Regards,

http://llvm.org/docs/Coroutines.html#llvm-coro-size-intrinsic The @llvm.coro.size intrinsic returns a value which lowers to a constant representing the number of bytes needed for the coroutine frame of the current function. This would presumably be used to call malloc with the return value. I noticed, however, that the example code does not check for the return value of malloc being NULL. It is

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
