Reid Spencer9bd2be22004-07-29 00:13:04 +0000[diff] [blame]87<p>LLVM bytecode files consist simply of a sequence of blocks of bytes
88using a binary encoding Each block begins with an header of two
89unsigned integers. The first value identifies the type of block and the
90second value provides the size of the block in bytes. The block
91identifier is used because it is possible for entire blocks to be
92omitted from the file if they are empty. The block identifier helps the
93reader determine which kind of block is next in the file. Note that
94blocks can be nested within other blocks.</p>
95<p> All blocks are variable length, and the block header specifies the
96size of the block. All blocks begin on a byte index that is aligned to
97an even 32-bit boundary. That is, the first block is 32-bit aligned
98because it starts at offset 0. Each block is padded with zero fill
99bytes to ensure that the next block also starts on a 32-bit boundary.</p>

Reid Spencer9bd2be22004-07-29 00:13:04 +0000[diff] [blame]104<p>LLVM Bytecode blocks often contain lists of things of a similar
105type. For example, a function contains a list of instructions and a
106function type contains a list of argument types. There are two basic
107types of lists: length lists (<a href="#llist">llist</a>), and null
108terminated lists (<a href="#zlist">zlist</a>), as described below in

Reid Spencer9bd2be22004-07-29 00:13:04 +0000[diff] [blame]114<p>Fields are units of information that LLVM knows how to write atomically. Most
115fields have a uniform length or some kind of length indication built into their
116encoding. For example, a constant string (array of bytes) is written simply as
117the length followed by the characters. Although this is similar to a list,
118constant strings are treated atomically and are thus fields.</p>

136<p>Most of the values written to LLVM bytecode files are small integers. To
137minimize the number of bytes written for these quantities, an encoding scheme
138similar to UTF-8 is used to write integer data. The scheme is known as
139variable bit rate (vbr) encoding. In this encoding, the high bit of
140each byte is used to indicate if more bytes follow. If (byte &amp;
1410x80) is non-zero in any given byte, it means there is another byte
142immediately following that also contributes to the value. For the final
143byte (byte &amp; 0x80) is false (the high bit is not set). In each byte
144only the low seven bits contribute to the value. Consequently 32-bit
145quantities can take from one to <em>five</em> bytes to encode. In
146general, smaller quantities will encode in fewer bytes, as follows:</p>

206<p>Note that in practice, the tenth byte could only encode bit 63 since
207the maximum quantity to use this encoding is a 64-bit integer.</p>
208<p><em>Signed</em> VBR values are encoded with the standard vbr
209encoding, but with the sign bit as the low order bit instead of the
210high order bit. This allows small negative quantities to be encoded
211efficiently. For example, -3
212is encoded as "((3 &lt;&lt; 1) | 1)" and 3 is encoded as "(3 &lt;&lt;
2131) | 0)", emitted with the standard vbr encoding above.</p>

Reid Spencer9bd2be22004-07-29 00:13:04 +0000[diff] [blame]381<p>The bytecode format uses the notion of a "slot" to reference Types
382and Values. Since the bytecode file is a <em>direct</em> representation of
383LLVM's intermediate representation, there is a need to represent pointers in
384the file. Slots are used for this purpose. For example, if one has the following
385assembly:
Reid Spencer1ab929c2004-07-05 08:18:07 +0000[diff] [blame]386</p>

388%MyVar = external global %MyType

Reid Spencer9bd2be22004-07-29 00:13:04 +0000[diff] [blame]390<p>there are two definitions. The definition of <tt>%MyVar</tt> uses <tt>%MyType</tt>.
391In the C++ IR this linkage between <tt>%MyVar</tt> and <tt>%MyType</tt>
392is explicit through the use of C++ pointers. In bytecode, however, there's no
393ability to store memory addresses. Instead, we compute and write out
394slot numbers for every Type and Value written to the file.</p>
Reid Spencer1ab929c2004-07-05 08:18:07 +0000[diff] [blame]395<p>A slot number is simply an unsigned 32-bit integer encoded in the variable
396bit rate scheme (see <a href="#encoding">encoding</a>). This ensures that
397low slot numbers are encoded in one byte. Through various bits of magic LLVM
398attempts to always keep the slot numbers low. The first attempt is to associate
Reid Spencer9bd2be22004-07-29 00:13:04 +0000[diff] [blame]399slot numbers with their "type plane". That is, Values of the same type
400are written to the bytecode file in a list (sequentially). Their order in
401that list determines their slot number. This means that slot #1 doesn't mean
402anything unless you also specify for which type you want slot #1. Types are
Reid Spencer09daa632004-08-18 20:06:19 +0000[diff] [blame]403always written to the file first (in the <a href="#globaltypes">Global Type
404Pool</a>) and in such a way that both forward and backward references of the
405types can often be resolved with a single pass through the type pool. </p>
Reid Spencer9bd2be22004-07-29 00:13:04 +0000[diff] [blame]406<p>Slot numbers are also kept small by rearranging their order. Because
407of the structure of LLVM, certain values are much more likely to be used
408frequently in the body of a function. For this reason, a compaction table is
409provided in the body of a function if its use would make the function body
410smaller. Suppose you have a function body that uses just the types "int*" and
411"{double}" but uses them thousands of time. Its worthwhile to ensure that the
412slot number for these types are low so they can be encoded in a single byte
413(via vbr). This is exactly what the compaction table does.</p>
Reid Spencer09daa632004-08-18 20:06:19 +0000[diff] [blame]414<p>In summary then, a slot number can be though of as just a vbr encoded index
415into a list of Type* or Value*. To keep slot numbers low, Value* are indexed by
416two slot numbers: the "type plane index" (type slot) and the "value index"
417(value slot).</p>

689 <p>The block header for the module block uses a longer format than the other
690 blocks in a bytecode file. Specifically, instead of encoding the type and size
691 of the block into a 32-bit integer with 5-bits for type and 27-bits for size,
692 the module block header uses two 32-bit unsigned values, one for type, and one
693 for size. While the 2<sup>27</sup> byte limit on block size is sufficient for the blocks
694 contained in the module, it isn't sufficient for the module block itself
695 because we want to ensure that bytecode files as large as 2<sup>32</sup> bytes
696 are possible. For this reason, the module block (and only the module block)
697 uses a long format header.</p>

Reid Spencer9bd2be22004-07-29 00:13:04 +0000[diff] [blame]1281<p>Compaction tables are part of a function definition. They are merely
1282a device for reducing the size of bytecode files. The size of a
Reid Spencer09daa632004-08-18 20:06:19 +0000[diff] [blame]1283bytecode file is dependent on the <em>values</em> of the slot numbers
Reid Spencer9bd2be22004-07-29 00:13:04 +0000[diff] [blame]1284used because larger values use more bytes in the variable bit rate
1285encoding scheme. Furthermore, the compressed instruction format
1286reserves only six bits for the type of the instruction. In large
1287modules, declaring hundreds or thousands of types, the values of the
1288slot numbers can be quite large. However, functions may use only a
1289small fraction of the global types. In such cases a compaction table is
1290created that maps the global type and value slot numbers to smaller
1291values used by a function. Functions will contain either a
1292function-specific constant pool <em>or</em> a compaction table but not
1293both. Compaction tables have the format shown in the table below.</p>

1618These aren't really opcodes from an LLVM language prespeective. They encode
1619information into other opcodes without reserving space for that information.
1620For example, opcode=63 is a Volatile Store. The opcode for this
1621instruction is 25 (Store) but we encode it as 63 to indicate that is a Volatile
1622Store. The same is done for the calling conventions and tail calls.
1623In each of these entries in range 56-63, the opcode is documented as the base
1624opcode (Invoke, Call, Store) plus some set of modifiers, as follows:</p>
1625<dl>
1626 <dt>CC</dt>
Chris Lattner120bc6d2005-05-14 01:30:15 +0000[diff] [blame]1627 <dd>This means an arbitrary calling convention is specified
1628 in a VBR that follows the opcode. This is used when the instruction cannot
1629 be encoded with one of the more compact forms.

1814 version 1.4, alignment of data was done away with completely. The need for
1815 alignment has gone away and the only thing it adds is bytecode file size
1816 overhead. In most cases this overhead was small. However, in functions with
1817 large numbers of format 0 instructions (GEPs and PHIs with lots of parameters)
1818 or regular instructions with large valued operands (e.g. because there's just
1819 a lot of instructions in the function) the overhead can be extreme. In one
1820 test case, the overhead was 44,000 bytes (34% of the total file size).

1844class. This is not the case in version 1.3. Consequently, in version
18451.2 the notion of a "Type Type" was used to write out values that were
1846Types. The types always occuped plane 12 (corresponding to the
1847TypeTyID) of any type planed set of values. In 1.3 this representation
1848is not convenient because the TypeTyID (12) is not present and its
1849value is now used for LabelTyID. Consequently, the data structures
1850written that involve types do so by writing all the types first and
1851then each of the value planes according to those types. In version 1.2,
1852the types would have been written intermingled with the values.</p>

1860access structures of 255 or fewer elements. Starting in version 1.3,
1861this restriction was lifted. Structures must now be indexed with uint
1862constants. Arrays may now be indexed with int, uint, long, or ulong
1863typed values. The consequence of this was that the bytecode format had
1864to change in order to accommodate the larger range of structure indices.</p>

1899definition. 24-bits for type slot numbers is deemed sufficient for any
1900practical use of LLVM.</p>

Reid Spencer9bd2be22004-07-29 00:13:04 +0000[diff] [blame]1909<p>In version 1.1, the zero value for primitives was explicitly encoded
1910into the bytecode format. Since these zero values are constant values
1911in the LLVM IR and never change, there is no reason to explicitly
1912encode them. This explicit encoding was removed in version 1.2.</p>
