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
allocations too. (A "simple" loop is one where the allocation isn't used in a
subsequent iteration)
This also means it's no longer necessary to run this pass multiple times.
Running it once after inlining should now catch all cases.
`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.
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)
Delegates passed to inlined functions now also stand a chance of being inlined.
This should make opApply as efficient as a regular loop, as long as both opApply
and the foreachbody are eligible for inlining; which is to say most non-virtual
opApply invocations will likely get fully inlined now.
(Note: above requires -O2 -enable-inlining or -O3)
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)
Fixed: foreach statement, key-type checks were buggy.
Fixed: setting LLVMDC versions on the command line is now an error.
Fixed: array compare runtime had incorrect param attrs on call.
Fixed: index expressions on dynamic array slices w/o storage was broken.
Fixed: scope classes had incorrect finalization in some cases.
Fixed: when outputting !ClassInfoS !OffsetTypeInfoS, static class members were trying to be included, crashing the compiler.
Fixed: calling LLVMDC with -inline but not any -O option caused assertion failure.
Changed: the runtime now uses a single interface to "get" to !TypeInfoS, part of eliminating duplicate !TypeInfo codegen.
* Fixed a minor linking order mishap *
* Added an command line option -annotate *
* Fixed some problems with running optimizations *
* Added std.stdio and dependencies to lphobos (still not 100% working, but compiles and links) *
* Fixed problems with passing aggregate types to variadic functions *
* Added initial code towards full GC support, currently based on malloc and friends, not all the runtime calls the GC yet for memory *
* Fixed problems with resolving nested function context pointers for some heavily nested cases *
* Redid function argument passing + other minor code cleanups, still lots to do on this end... *
