Using `mangleOverride` directly instead. Also get rid of superfluous
string copies. And for LLVMatomic_rmw, don't store the operation
string in the instantiated FuncDeclarations anymore, but fetch it
from the parent TemplateDeclaration.
This may negatively impact performance, as the (final, i.e.,
non-virtual) Expression::is... family is implemented in D and not
available inline in the C++ headers.
Biggest changes:
* idgen.d has been replaced by a CTFE implementation, id.d.
I manually added a C++ header declaring the symbols we need and
adapted (simplified) the CMake script accordingly.
* More semantic() methods have been extracted as visitors; most notably
for expressions.
The part needing most attention was ddmd.root.ctfloat, ddmd.target (incl.
gen/target.cpp) and ddmd.builtin. The front-end is now prepared for
elaborate compile-time floating-point types to allow for proper cross-
compilation.
This version still uses the host's `real` type for compile-time reals,
except for MSVC hosts, which still use 64-bit doubles (when compiled with
DMD host compiler too).
Some other changes:
* semantic*() of Statements extracted from statement.d to statementsem.d
* mangle() -> mangleToBuffer()
* Identifier::string -> toChars()
* Token::float80value => floatvalue
* Dsymbol::isAggregateMember() => isMember()
* BoolExp is no more
* ddmd.root.ctfloat: LDC-specific CTFE builtins
Add the commandline options -fprofile-instr-generate[=filename] and -profile-instr-use=filename
-fprofile-instr-generate
-- Add instrumentation on branches, switches, and function entry; uses LLVM's InstrProf pass.
-- Link to profile runtime that writes instrumentation counters to a file.
-fprofile-instr-use
-- Read profile data from a file and apply branch weights to branches and switches, and annotate functions with entrycount in LLVM IR.
-- Functions with low or high entrycount are marked with 'cold' or 'inlinehint'.
The only statement type without PGO yet is "try-finally".
A new pragma, `pragma(LDC_profile_instr, [ true | false ])`, is added to selectively disable/enable instrumentation of functions (granularity = whole functions).
The runtime library ldc-profile-rt is a copy of LLVM compiler-rt lib/profile. It has to be exactly in-sync with the LLVM version, and thus we need a copy for each PGO-supported LLVM (>=3.7).
import ldc.profile for a D interface to ldc-profile-rt (for example to reset execution counts after a program startup phase).
The instrumentation data is mainly passed on to LLVM: function-entry counts and branch counts/probabilities. LDC marks functions as hot when "execution count is 30% of the maximum function execution count", and marks functions as cold if their count is 1% of maximum function execution count.
The source of LLVM's llvm-profdata tool is hereby included in LDCs repository (different source for each LLVM version), and the binary is included in the install bin folder.
The executable is named "ldc-profdata" to avoid clashing with llvm-profdata on the same machine. This is needed because profdata executable has to be in-sync with the LLVM version used to build LDC.
Maintenance burden: for trunk LLVM, we have to keep ldc-profile-rt and llvm-profdata in sync. There is no diff with upstream; but because of active development there are the occasional API changes.
Also adds the CMake infrastructure to compile and link the D source files.
The build is partially broken:
- A few files in Phobos and druntime do not build
- MSVC build is broken because of unresolved symbols involving reals
The wrong ABI is called for every function intrinsic. These are the
ones handled in DtoLowerMagicIntrinsic(). This PR adds the missing
instrinsic constants.
If the mangled name is viewed as the name emitted into IR code then the mangled name of an intrinsic is the intrinsic's name.
The name is unique because of the `llvm.` prefix. The only point is that overloaded intrinsics must be resolved earlier.
This commit moves the resolution of oveloaded intrinsics into the semantic analysis pass. The
