A lot of system specific knowledge is already present in LLVM. This is used to populate several fields in global.params instead of hard coded values in main(). Ensures that the frontend and LLVM have always the same values.
The string representation of the data layout is retrieved from the TargetData class (in main) and passed via global.params.dataLayout to the module. Since the gTargetData is also a global variable it makes no sense to pass this information using another global variable.
- New functions codeGenOptLevel() and verifyModule() to remove code duplication
- Hidden option no-verify renamed to disable-verify and moved to optimizer (like opt tool)
- Removed global.params.noVerify
- Wraps some LDC specific code in 'IN_LLVM' section
- Adds some MSVC specific code to 'IN_LLVM' section
- Removes an unused include file
Net result is much less errors with MSVC.
`available_externally` linkage. This allows the inliner to inline functions from
other modules while telling the code generator to ignore those functions (treat
them as declarations)
Still generates a few extra `TypeInfo`s and strings...
Disabled when generating debug info because I don't really understand it, and it
doesn't like this.
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.
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)
actual vararg list.
Also cleaned up the format for warnings. (Previously some would start with
"warning - warning - Warning:" which was a bit redundant)
Also moved the #defines for linkage types into a separate header instead of
mars.h so we can #include revisions.h without having to rebuild the entire
frontend every time we update.
(I'm using revisions.h to get the LLVM revision for use in preprocessor
conditionals. It should work with LLVM release 2.5, old trunk and new trunk)
- Moved main() into its own file gen/main.cpp
- Fixed basic cross compilation
- removed the option for setting OS
- added support for llc's mattr, mcpu and mtriple switches
- added basic ABI abstraction for return value rewrites, it's not perfect and will probably be completely rewritten once I get to handling parameter rewrites as well.
- x86-64 extern(C) abi for cfloat returns now match (llvm-)gcc.
Note: For a backward compatible interface, use the new bin/ldmd script. It
supports all old options while passing on anything it doesn't recognize.
Some changes caused by this:
* -debug and -version are now -d-debug and -d-version due to a conflict with
standard LLVM options.
* All "flag" options now allow an optional =true/=1/=false/=0 suffix.
* Some "hidden debug switches" starting with "--" were renamed because LLVM
doesn't care about the number of dashes, so they were conflicting with other
options (such as -c).
The new versions start with "-hidden-debug-" instead of "--"
* --help works, but has a non-zero exit code. This breaks some Tango scripts
which use it to test for compiler existence. See tango.patch.
Some changes not (directly) caused by this;
* (-enable/-disable)-FOO options are now available for pre- and postconditions.
* -march is used instead of -m (like other LLVM programs), but -m is an alias
for it.
* -defaultlib, -debuglib, -d-debug and -d-version allow comma-separated values.
The effect should be identical to specifying the same option multiple times.
I decided against allowing these for some other options because paths might
contain commas on some systems.
* -fPIC is removed in favor of the standard LLVM option -relocation-model=pic
Bug:
* If -run is specified as the last argument in DFLAGS, no error is generated.
(Not very serious IMHO)
Fixed function literals in static initializers.
Changed alignment of delegates from 2*PTRSIZE to just PTRSIZE.
Changed errors to go to stderr instead of stdout.
Fairly major rewriting of struct/union/class handling, STILL A BIT BUGGY !!!
