similar to: Problems with tbaa in llvm 4.0

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

TL;DR: I'm trying to evaluate if LLD can be used with GHC (Glasgow Haskell Compiler) on Windows. Haskell binary code is usually deployed in "packages". A package typically provides static library(ies) and optionally – shared library(ies) and/or prelinked ('ld -r') object file. The latter is the best way to satisfy GHC runtime linker, since it requires no separate

Hi all, As previously mentioned on this list the Haskell compiler GHC has a new LLVM based back-end. The back-end needs a new calling convention to efficiently use LLVM and that is what this patch does, just for X86 at the moment. Breakdown: 1) Need actual calling convention Touches: - include/llvm/CallingConv.h - lib/Target/X86/X86CallingConv.td 2) Handling new calling

Hi all, I'm hitting a segfault in llc when trying to build GHC: http://sprunge.us/ZVGB. What is the best way to debug this? I'm able to bump to 3.8.1 if needed, but GHC tends to break when updating major versions due to IR incompatibilities.

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

Yes, GHC runtime linker *does* link .o files not only doing all necessary relocations but also

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

In some language implementations, such as the Glasgow Haskell Compiler (GHC) and the reference implementation of Go, a thread’s stack is allocated as a data structure on the garbage-collected heap.  The garbage collector is free to move this data structure whenever it is invoked. Currently, GHC’s LLVM backend does not use the C stack.  However, there have been discussions about whether using the

OK, new patch attached. Hopefully in time for 2.7. Chris Lattner wrote: > 1) is the GHC calling conv intended to be target specific? If it is x86 specific, it should get an X86 prefix. If not, it should move up to be #10 after Cold. No its intended to be supported on any platforms that GHC is supported on, which is just x86 and SPARC at the moment. At the moment I've just done X86, will

Hi, How far are we from having '-r' in the LLD COFF linker? I'd try to implement this if not too much effort is required. Any suggestions and/or pointers? Cheers, Kyra

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
