* 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)
- 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)
CFGSimplification pass.
The pass was originally added as a workaround for a LLVM 2.4 bug where debug
info would reference labels that have been optimized away.
Applied patch from ticket #129 to compile against latest LLVM. Thanks Frits van Bommel.
Fixed implicit return by asm block at the end of a function on x86-32. Other architectures will produce an error at the moment. Adding support for new targets is fairly simple.
Fixed return calling convention for complex numbers, ST and ST(1) were switched around.
Added some testcases.
I've run a dstress test and there are no regressions. However, the runtime does not seem to compile with symbolic debug information. -O3 -release -inline works well and is what I used for the dstress run. Tango does not compile, a small workaround is needed in tango.io.digest.Digest.Digest.hexDigest. See ticket #206 .
Fixed align N; in asm blocks.
Fixed inreg parameter passing on x86 for ref/out params.
Removed support for lazy initialization of function local static variables, I have no idea why I ever implemented this, it's not in the D spec, and DMD doesn't support it :P
Some of the global variable related changes might cause minor regressions, but they should be easily fixable.
