Removed use of dyn_cast, llvm no compiles
without exceptions and rtti by
default. We do need exceptions for the libconfig stuff, but rtti isn't
necessary (anymore).
Debug info needs to be rewritten, as in LLVM 2.7 the format has
completely changed. To have something to look at while rewriting, the
old code has been wrapped inside #ifndef DISABLE_DEBUG_INFO , this means
that you have to define this to compile at the moment.
Updated tango 0.99.9 patch to include updated EH runtime code, which is
needed for LLVM 2.7 as well.
* remove an #ifdef USE_METADATA I accidently left in
* remove now unneeded llvm-version includes
* fix indentation in metadata.h
* prevent the "Found native target" message from interrupting ccmake
Some LLVM objects now take a 'Context' to make multi-threaded apps easier.
Since we're not multi-threaded it's safe to use llvm::getGlobalContext()
which gives us the same behavior as we had before.
crucial difference being special handling of `llvm::Type`s so they get printed
by name rather than printing their full representation (which can be positively
*huge*).
This allows re-enabling some logger calls that were disabled due to extreme
verbosity.
Added -v-cg switch, which right now just prints "codegen: module.name (module/name.d)" to stdout, this can really help figuring out where, in some complex build command, things go wrong.
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.
Now you can run "`ldc test.d -c -mem2reg -simplifycfg`" if you feel the urge.
The -O<N> options are still supported, and are inserted in the passes list in
the position where they appear on the command line.
(so -simplifycfg -O1 -instcombine does the "right thing")
One small change: -inline is renamed to -enable-inlining due to a naming
conflict with the option to add the -inline pass. -inline now inserts the
inlining pass in the position specified, not in the middle of -O<N>.
(ldmd has been updated to translate -inline to -enable-inlining)
The switch allows the optimizer and inliner to run on all modules at once and opens the door for template instantiation improvements that should lower compile time and executable size.
llvm::OStream provides all std::ostream functionality (by holding a
std::ostream* internally), but
* doesn't include <iostream>, avoiding per-file overhead.
* allows the stream pointer to be null, and the (inlined) operators do nothing
when that's the case. (This also allows removal of the ofstream("/dev/null")
hack Logger used when disabled, which presumably wasn't very portable)
