Chris Lattner128eb862007-11-05 19:06:59 +000041<p>Welcome to Chapter 4 of the "<a href="index.html">Implementing a language
Chris Lattnera54c2012007-11-07 05:28:43 +000042with LLVM</a>" tutorial. Chapters 1-3 described the implementation of a simple
43language and added support for generating LLVM IR. This chapter describes
Chris Lattner128eb862007-11-05 19:06:59 +000044two new techniques: adding optimizer support to your language, and adding JIT
Chris Lattner41fcea32007-11-13 07:06:30 +000045compiler support. These additions will demonstrate how to get nice, efficient code
46for the Kaleidoscope language.</p>

Chris Lattner118749e2007-10-25 06:23:36 +000058Our demonstration for Chapter 3 is elegant and easy to extend. Unfortunately,
Duncan Sands89f6d882008-04-13 06:22:09 +000059it does not produce wonderful code. The IRBuilder, however, does give us
60obvious optimizations when compiling simple code:</p>
Chris Lattner118749e2007-10-25 06:23:36 +000061
62<div class="doc_code">
63<pre>
64ready&gt; <b>def test(x) 1+2+x;</b>
65Read function definition:
66define double @test(double %x) {
67entry:
68 %addtmp = add double 3.000000e+00, %x
69 ret double %addtmp
70}
71</pre>
72</div>
73
Duncan Sands89f6d882008-04-13 06:22:09 +000074<p>This code is not a literal transcription of the AST built by parsing the
75input. That would be:
76
77<div class="doc_code">
78<pre>
79ready&gt; <b>def test(x) 1+2+x;</b>
80Read function definition:
81define double @test(double %x) {
82entry:
83 %addtmp = add double 2.000000e+00, 1.000000e+00
84 %addtmp1 = add double %addtmp, %x
85 ret double %addtmp1
86}
87</pre>
88</div>
89
Gabor Greif94244f32009-03-11 20:04:08 +000090<p>Constant folding, as seen above, in particular, is a very common and very
Duncan Sands89f6d882008-04-13 06:22:09 +000091important optimization: so much so that many language implementors implement
92constant folding support in their AST representation.</p>
93
94<p>With LLVM, you don't need this support in the AST. Since all calls to build
95LLVM IR go through the LLVM IR builder, the builder itself checked to see if
96there was a constant folding opportunity when you call it. If so, it just does
97the constant fold and return the constant instead of creating an instruction.
98
Chris Lattnera54c2012007-11-07 05:28:43 +000099<p>Well, that was easy :). In practice, we recommend always using
Duncan Sands89f6d882008-04-13 06:22:09 +0000100<tt>IRBuilder</tt> when generating code like this. It has no
Chris Lattner118749e2007-10-25 06:23:36 +0000101"syntactic overhead" for its use (you don't have to uglify your compiler with
102constant checks everywhere) and it can dramatically reduce the amount of
103LLVM IR that is generated in some cases (particular for languages with a macro
104preprocessor or that use a lot of constants).</p>
105
Duncan Sands89f6d882008-04-13 06:22:09 +0000106<p>On the other hand, the <tt>IRBuilder</tt> is limited by the fact
Chris Lattner118749e2007-10-25 06:23:36 +0000107that it does all of its analysis inline with the code as it is built. If you
108take a slightly more complex example:</p>
109
110<div class="doc_code">
111<pre>
112ready&gt; <b>def test(x) (1+2+x)*(x+(1+2));</b>
113ready> Read function definition:
114define double @test(double %x) {
115entry:
116 %addtmp = add double 3.000000e+00, %x
117 %addtmp1 = add double %x, 3.000000e+00
118 %multmp = mul double %addtmp, %addtmp1
119 ret double %multmp
120}
121</pre>
122</div>
123
124<p>In this case, the LHS and RHS of the multiplication are the same value. We'd
125really like to see this generate "<tt>tmp = x+3; result = tmp*tmp;</tt>" instead
Chris Lattner1ace67c2008-04-15 16:59:22 +0000126of computing "<tt>x+3</tt>" twice.</p>
Chris Lattner118749e2007-10-25 06:23:36 +0000127
128<p>Unfortunately, no amount of local analysis will be able to detect and correct
129this. This requires two transformations: reassociation of expressions (to
130make the add's lexically identical) and Common Subexpression Elimination (CSE)
131to delete the redundant add instruction. Fortunately, LLVM provides a broad
132range of optimizations that you can use, in the form of "passes".</p>

142
Chris Lattner41fcea32007-11-13 07:06:30 +0000143<p>LLVM provides many optimization passes, which do many different sorts of
Chris Lattner118749e2007-10-25 06:23:36 +0000144things and have different tradeoffs. Unlike other systems, LLVM doesn't hold
145to the mistaken notion that one set of optimizations is right for all languages
146and for all situations. LLVM allows a compiler implementor to make complete
147decisions about what optimizations to use, in which order, and in what
148situation.</p>
149
150<p>As a concrete example, LLVM supports both "whole module" passes, which look
151across as large of body of code as they can (often a whole file, but if run
152at link time, this can be a substantial portion of the whole program). It also
153supports and includes "per-function" passes which just operate on a single
154function at a time, without looking at other functions. For more information
Chris Lattner41fcea32007-11-13 07:06:30 +0000155on passes and how they are run, see the <a href="../WritingAnLLVMPass.html">How
Chris Lattnera54c2012007-11-07 05:28:43 +0000156to Write a Pass</a> document and the <a href="../Passes.html">List of LLVM
157Passes</a>.</p>
Chris Lattner118749e2007-10-25 06:23:36 +0000158
159<p>For Kaleidoscope, we are currently generating functions on the fly, one at
160a time, as the user types them in. We aren't shooting for the ultimate
161optimization experience in this setting, but we also want to catch the easy and
162quick stuff where possible. As such, we will choose to run a few per-function
163optimizations as the user types the function in. If we wanted to make a "static
164Kaleidoscope compiler", we would use exactly the code we have now, except that
165we would defer running the optimizer until the entire file has been parsed.</p>
166
167<p>In order to get per-function optimizations going, we need to set up a
168<a href="../WritingAnLLVMPass.html#passmanager">FunctionPassManager</a> to hold and
169organize the LLVM optimizations that we want to run. Once we have that, we can
170add a set of optimizations to run. The code looks like this:</p>
171
172<div class="doc_code">
173<pre>
Jeffrey Yasskinf0356fe2010-01-27 20:34:15 +0000174 FunctionPassManager OurFPM(TheModule);
Chris Lattner118749e2007-10-25 06:23:36 +0000175
Reid Kleckner60130f02009-08-26 20:58:25 +0000176 // Set up the optimizer pipeline. Start with registering info about how the
177 // target lays out data structures.
178 OurFPM.add(new TargetData(*TheExecutionEngine->getTargetData()));
179 // Do simple "peephole" optimizations and bit-twiddling optzns.
180 OurFPM.add(createInstructionCombiningPass());
181 // Reassociate expressions.
182 OurFPM.add(createReassociatePass());
183 // Eliminate Common SubExpressions.
184 OurFPM.add(createGVNPass());
185 // Simplify the control flow graph (deleting unreachable blocks, etc).
186 OurFPM.add(createCFGSimplificationPass());
187
Nick Lewycky422094c2009-09-13 21:38:54 +0000188 OurFPM.doInitialization();
189
Reid Kleckner60130f02009-08-26 20:58:25 +0000190 // Set the global so the code gen can use this.
191 TheFPM = &amp;OurFPM;
192
193 // Run the main "interpreter loop" now.
194 MainLoop();
Chris Lattner118749e2007-10-25 06:23:36 +0000195</pre>
196</div>
197
Jeffrey Yasskinf0356fe2010-01-27 20:34:15 +0000198<p>This code defines a <tt>FunctionPassManager</tt>, "<tt>OurFPM</tt>". It
199requires a pointer to the <tt>Module</tt> to construct itself. Once it is set
200up, we use a series of "add" calls to add a bunch of LLVM passes. The first
201pass is basically boilerplate, it adds a pass so that later optimizations know
202how the data structures in the program are laid out. The
203"<tt>TheExecutionEngine</tt>" variable is related to the JIT, which we will get
204to in the next section.</p>
Chris Lattner118749e2007-10-25 06:23:36 +0000205
206<p>In this case, we choose to add 4 optimization passes. The passes we chose
207here are a pretty standard set of "cleanup" optimizations that are useful for
Chris Lattner41fcea32007-11-13 07:06:30 +0000208a wide variety of code. I won't delve into what they do but, believe me,
Chris Lattnera54c2012007-11-07 05:28:43 +0000209they are a good starting place :).</p>
Chris Lattner118749e2007-10-25 06:23:36 +0000210
Chris Lattnera54c2012007-11-07 05:28:43 +0000211<p>Once the PassManager is set up, we need to make use of it. We do this by
Chris Lattner118749e2007-10-25 06:23:36 +0000212running it after our newly created function is constructed (in
213<tt>FunctionAST::Codegen</tt>), but before it is returned to the client:</p>
214
215<div class="doc_code">
216<pre>
217 if (Value *RetVal = Body->Codegen()) {
218 // Finish off the function.
219 Builder.CreateRet(RetVal);
220
221 // Validate the generated code, checking for consistency.
222 verifyFunction(*TheFunction);
223
Chris Lattnera54c2012007-11-07 05:28:43 +0000224 <b>// Optimize the function.
225 TheFPM-&gt;run(*TheFunction);</b>
Chris Lattner118749e2007-10-25 06:23:36 +0000226
227 return TheFunction;
228 }
229</pre>
230</div>
231
Chris Lattner41fcea32007-11-13 07:06:30 +0000232<p>As you can see, this is pretty straightforward. The
Chris Lattner118749e2007-10-25 06:23:36 +0000233<tt>FunctionPassManager</tt> optimizes and updates the LLVM Function* in place,
234improving (hopefully) its body. With this in place, we can try our test above
235again:</p>
236
237<div class="doc_code">
238<pre>
239ready&gt; <b>def test(x) (1+2+x)*(x+(1+2));</b>
240ready> Read function definition:
241define double @test(double %x) {
242entry:
243 %addtmp = add double %x, 3.000000e+00
244 %multmp = mul double %addtmp, %addtmp
245 ret double %multmp
246}
247</pre>
248</div>
249
250<p>As expected, we now get our nicely optimized code, saving a floating point
Chris Lattnera54c2012007-11-07 05:28:43 +0000251add instruction from every execution of this function.</p>
Chris Lattner118749e2007-10-25 06:23:36 +0000252
253<p>LLVM provides a wide variety of optimizations that can be used in certain
Chris Lattner72714232007-10-25 17:52:39 +0000254circumstances. Some <a href="../Passes.html">documentation about the various
255passes</a> is available, but it isn't very complete. Another good source of
Chris Lattner41fcea32007-11-13 07:06:30 +0000256ideas can come from looking at the passes that <tt>llvm-gcc</tt> or
Chris Lattner118749e2007-10-25 06:23:36 +0000257<tt>llvm-ld</tt> run to get started. The "<tt>opt</tt>" tool allows you to
258experiment with passes from the command line, so you can see if they do
259anything.</p>
260
261<p>Now that we have reasonable code coming out of our front-end, lets talk about
262executing it!</p>

Chris Lattnera54c2012007-11-07 05:28:43 +0000272<p>Code that is available in LLVM IR can have a wide variety of tools
Chris Lattner118749e2007-10-25 06:23:36 +0000273applied to it. For example, you can run optimizations on it (as we did above),
274you can dump it out in textual or binary forms, you can compile the code to an
275assembly file (.s) for some target, or you can JIT compile it. The nice thing
Chris Lattnera54c2012007-11-07 05:28:43 +0000276about the LLVM IR representation is that it is the "common currency" between
277many different parts of the compiler.
Chris Lattner118749e2007-10-25 06:23:36 +0000278</p>
279
Chris Lattnera54c2012007-11-07 05:28:43 +0000280<p>In this section, we'll add JIT compiler support to our interpreter. The
Chris Lattner118749e2007-10-25 06:23:36 +0000281basic idea that we want for Kaleidoscope is to have the user enter function
282bodies as they do now, but immediately evaluate the top-level expressions they
283type in. For example, if they type in "1 + 2;", we should evaluate and print
284out 3. If they define a function, they should be able to call it from the
285command line.</p>
286
287<p>In order to do this, we first declare and initialize the JIT. This is done
288by adding a global variable and a call in <tt>main</tt>:</p>
289
290<div class="doc_code">
291<pre>
Chris Lattnera54c2012007-11-07 05:28:43 +0000292<b>static ExecutionEngine *TheExecutionEngine;</b>
Chris Lattner118749e2007-10-25 06:23:36 +0000293...
294int main() {
295 ..
Jeffrey Yasskinf0356fe2010-01-27 20:34:15 +0000296 <b>// Create the JIT. This takes ownership of the module.
297 TheExecutionEngine = EngineBuilder(TheModule).create();</b>
Chris Lattner118749e2007-10-25 06:23:36 +0000298 ..
299}
300</pre>
301</div>
302
303<p>This creates an abstract "Execution Engine" which can be either a JIT
304compiler or the LLVM interpreter. LLVM will automatically pick a JIT compiler
305for you if one is available for your platform, otherwise it will fall back to
306the interpreter.</p>
307
308<p>Once the <tt>ExecutionEngine</tt> is created, the JIT is ready to be used.
Chris Lattner41fcea32007-11-13 07:06:30 +0000309There are a variety of APIs that are useful, but the simplest one is the
Chris Lattner118749e2007-10-25 06:23:36 +0000310"<tt>getPointerToFunction(F)</tt>" method. This method JIT compiles the
311specified LLVM Function and returns a function pointer to the generated machine
312code. In our case, this means that we can change the code that parses a
313top-level expression to look like this:</p>
314
315<div class="doc_code">
316<pre>
317static void HandleTopLevelExpression() {
Erick Tryzelaarfd1ec5e2009-09-22 21:14:49 +0000318 // Evaluate a top-level expression into an anonymous function.
Chris Lattner118749e2007-10-25 06:23:36 +0000319 if (FunctionAST *F = ParseTopLevelExpr()) {
320 if (Function *LF = F-&gt;Codegen()) {
321 LF->dump(); // Dump the function for exposition purposes.
322
Chris Lattnera54c2012007-11-07 05:28:43 +0000323 <b>// JIT the function, returning a function pointer.
Chris Lattner118749e2007-10-25 06:23:36 +0000324 void *FPtr = TheExecutionEngine-&gt;getPointerToFunction(LF);
325
326 // Cast it to the right type (takes no arguments, returns a double) so we
327 // can call it as a native function.
Erick Tryzelaarfd1ec5e2009-09-22 21:14:49 +0000328 double (*FP)() = (double (*)())(intptr_t)FPtr;
Chris Lattnera54c2012007-11-07 05:28:43 +0000329 fprintf(stderr, "Evaluated to %f\n", FP());</b>
Chris Lattner118749e2007-10-25 06:23:36 +0000330 }
331</pre>
332</div>
333
334<p>Recall that we compile top-level expressions into a self-contained LLVM
335function that takes no arguments and returns the computed double. Because the
336LLVM JIT compiler matches the native platform ABI, this means that you can just
337cast the result pointer to a function pointer of that type and call it directly.
Chris Lattner41fcea32007-11-13 07:06:30 +0000338This means, there is no difference between JIT compiled code and native machine
Chris Lattner118749e2007-10-25 06:23:36 +0000339code that is statically linked into your application.</p>
340
341<p>With just these two changes, lets see how Kaleidoscope works now!</p>
342
343<div class="doc_code">
344<pre>
345ready&gt; <b>4+5;</b>
346define double @""() {
347entry:
348 ret double 9.000000e+00
349}
350
351<em>Evaluated to 9.000000</em>
352</pre>
353</div>
354
355<p>Well this looks like it is basically working. The dump of the function
356shows the "no argument function that always returns double" that we synthesize

Chris Lattner118749e2007-10-25 06:23:36 +0000358functionality, but can we do more?</p>

Jeffrey Yasskindc857242009-10-27 20:30:28 +0000382<p>This illustrates that we can now call user code, but there is something a bit
383subtle going on here. Note that we only invoke the JIT on the anonymous
384functions that <em>call testfunc</em>, but we never invoked it
385on <em>testfunc</em> itself. What actually happened here is that the JIT
386scanned for all non-JIT'd functions transitively called from the anonymous
387function and compiled all of them before returning
388from <tt>getPointerToFunction()</tt>.</p>
Chris Lattner118749e2007-10-25 06:23:36 +0000389
Jeffrey Yasskindc857242009-10-27 20:30:28 +0000390<p>The JIT provides a number of other more advanced interfaces for things like
391freeing allocated machine code, rejit'ing functions to update them, etc.
392However, even with this simple code, we get some surprisingly powerful
393capabilities - check this out (I removed the dump of the anonymous functions,
394you should get the idea by now :) :</p>

Chris Lattnera54c2012007-11-07 05:28:43 +0000426<p>Whoa, how does the JIT know about sin and cos? The answer is surprisingly
427simple: in this
Chris Lattner118749e2007-10-25 06:23:36 +0000428example, the JIT started execution of a function and got to a function call. It
429realized that the function was not yet JIT compiled and invoked the standard set
430of routines to resolve the function. In this case, there is no body defined
Chris Lattnera54c2012007-11-07 05:28:43 +0000431for the function, so the JIT ended up calling "<tt>dlsym("sin")</tt>" on the
432Kaleidoscope process itself.
Chris Lattner118749e2007-10-25 06:23:36 +0000433Since "<tt>sin</tt>" is defined within the JIT's address space, it simply
434patches up calls in the module to call the libm version of <tt>sin</tt>
435directly.</p>
436
437<p>The LLVM JIT provides a number of interfaces (look in the
438<tt>ExecutionEngine.h</tt> file) for controlling how unknown functions get
439resolved. It allows you to establish explicit mappings between IR objects and
440addresses (useful for LLVM global variables that you want to map to static
441tables, for example), allows you to dynamically decide on the fly based on the
Jeffrey Yasskindc857242009-10-27 20:30:28 +0000442function name, and even allows you to have the JIT compile functions lazily the
443first time they're called.</p>
Chris Lattner118749e2007-10-25 06:23:36 +0000444
Chris Lattner72714232007-10-25 17:52:39 +0000445<p>One interesting application of this is that we can now extend the language
446by writing arbitrary C++ code to implement operations. For example, if we add:
447</p>
448
449<div class="doc_code">
450<pre>
451/// putchard - putchar that takes a double and returns 0.
452extern "C"
453double putchard(double X) {
454 putchar((char)X);
455 return 0;
456}
457</pre>
458</div>
459
460<p>Now we can produce simple output to the console by using things like:
461"<tt>extern putchard(x); putchard(120);</tt>", which prints a lowercase 'x' on
Chris Lattnera54c2012007-11-07 05:28:43 +0000462the console (120 is the ASCII code for 'x'). Similar code could be used to
Chris Lattner72714232007-10-25 17:52:39 +0000463implement file I/O, console input, and many other capabilities in
464Kaleidoscope.</p>
465
Chris Lattner118749e2007-10-25 06:23:36 +0000466<p>This completes the JIT and optimizer chapter of the Kaleidoscope tutorial. At
467this point, we can compile a non-Turing-complete programming language, optimize
468and JIT compile it in a user-driven way. Next up we'll look into <a
469href="LangImpl5.html">extending the language with control flow constructs</a>,
470tackling some interesting LLVM IR issues along the way.</p>
