Recent optimization improvements made LLVM realize the store-to-null was
unavoidable, so it deleted all of main() and replaced it with 'unreachable'.
Because the body of main() no longer even contained a return instruction,
calling it caused random code to be ran instead. This happened to be the code
that links in the ModuleInfo on my machine, which then returned "successfully".
(b) don't override the delete operator (on top of the regular conditions for
stack allocation that also apply to arrays, structs, etc.).
The "no destructor" clause is not strictly necessary, but calling them at the
right time would be tricky to say the least; it would involve, among other
things, "manually" inserting a try-finally block around anything that might
throw exceptions not caught in the current function.
Note: objects with custom new operators are automatically ignored because they
don't use the regular allocation runtime call, so there's no need to pay special
attention to them.
default executable name.
This should help cross-compilation by allowing a cross-gcc to be specified from
the configuration file instead of only through the CC environment variable.
to generate asm for code with metadata globals.
This new pass is used as a workaround: it strips metadata from the module before
it reaches the code generator.
Obviously, this is disabled if LLVM doesn't support metadata.
This one promotes GC allocations to stack memory when it can determine it's safe
to do so.
Not all GC calls are recognized yet (in fact only one *is* recognized for now).
Needs metadata, so disabled for LLVM versions that don't support it.
It uses the machinery of the standard -simplify-libcalls pass, but optimizes
calls to the D runtime instead of calls to C libraries.
At the moment, these optimizations are implemented by this pass:
- Avoid the runtime call for `arr.length = newlen` if it can determine that
the new length isn't longer than the old one.
- Ditto for `cast(T[]) arr` if it will clearly always succeed.
(e.g. if the length of the original array is zero, or if the old element
size is a multiple of the new element size)
- Add bindings for InsertValue and ExtractValue
- Updates to use new APIs where they were renamed or removed.
- Add generic error messages if LLVM didn't provide one.
- Enable typesafe variadic arguments for GetGEP.
