157modifications whatsoever (currently one small patch is needed) thanks to the
158new <a href="http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/plugins">gcc plugin architecture</a>.
159DragonEgg is a gcc plugin that makes gcc-4.5 use the LLVM optimizers and code

Duncan Sands7f9a0dc2010-09-30 17:37:34 +0000[diff] [blame]164DragonEgg is still a work in progress, but it is able to compile a lot of code,
165for example all of gcc, LLVM and clang. Currently Ada, C, C++ and Fortran work
166well, while all other languages either don't work at all or only work poorly.
167For the moment only the x86-32 and x86-64 targets are supported, and only on
168linux and darwin (darwin may need additional gcc patches).

195a Java Virtual Machine (Java VM or JVM) that uses LLVM for static and

209The new LLVM <a href="http://compiler-rt.llvm.org/">compiler-rt project</a>
210is a simple library that provides an implementation of the low-level
211target-specific hooks required by code generation and other runtime components.
212For example, when compiling for a 32-bit target, converting a double to a 64-bit
213unsigned integer is compiled into a runtime call to the "__fixunsdfdi"
214function. The compiler-rt library provides highly optimized implementations of
215this and other low-level routines (some are 3x faster than the equivalent
216libgcc routines).</p>
217
218<p>
219All of the code in the compiler-rt project is available under the standard LLVM
220License, a "BSD-style" license. New in LLVM 2.8, compiler_rt now supports
221soft floating point (for targets that don't have a real floating point unit),
222and includes an extensive testsuite for the "blocks" language feature and the
223blocks runtime included in compiler_rt.</p>

Chris Lattnerbf1cf672010-10-02 21:59:30 +0000[diff] [blame]652The LLVM Machine Code (aka MC) subsystem was created to solve a number
Chris Lattnerf25bc192010-09-30 16:31:33 +0000[diff] [blame]653of problems in the realm of assembly, disassembly, object file format handling,
654and a number of other related areas that CPU instruction-set level tools work
Chris Lattnerbf1cf672010-10-02 21:59:30 +0000[diff] [blame]655in.</p>
656
657<p>The MC subproject has made great leaps in LLVM 2.8. For example, support for
658 directly writing .o files from LLC (and clang) now works reliably for
659 darwin/x86[-64] (including inline assembly support) and the integrated
660 assembler is turned on by default in Clang for these targets. This provides
661 improved compile times among other things.</p>
662
663<ul>
664<li>The entire compiler has converted over to using the MCStreamer assembler API
665 instead of writing out a .s file textually.</li>
666<li>The "assembler parser" is far more mature than in 2.7, supporting a full
667 complement of directives, now supports assembler macros, etc.</li>
668<li>The "assembler backend" has been completed, including support for relaxation
669 relocation processing and all the other things that an assembler does.</li>
670<li>The MachO file format support is now fully functional and works.</li>
671<li>The MC disassembler now fully supports ARM and Thumb. ARM assembler support
672 is still in early development though.</li>
673<li>The X86 MC assembler now supports the X86 AES and AVX instruction set.</li>
674<li>Work on ELF and COFF support is well underway, but isn't useful yet in LLVM
675 2.8. Please contact the llvmdev mailing list if you're interested in
676 this.</li>

701
702 MachineCSE tuned and on by default.
703
704 Rewrote tblgen's type inference for backends to be more consistent and
705 diagnose more target bugs. This also allows limited support for writing
706 patterns for instructions that return multiple results, e.g. a virtual
707 register and a flag result. Stuff that used 'parallel' before should use
708 this.
709
710 New -regalloc=fast, =local got removed
711 New -regalloc=default option that chooses a register allocator based on the -O optimization level.
712 New SubRegIndex tblgen class for targets -> jakob
713
714 Bottom up fast isel. Simple Load reuse. No more machinedce.
715 IR ABI: <3 x float> is passed as <4 x float> instead of 3 floats.
716
717 New COPY instruction. copyRegToReg -> copyPhysReg, isMoveInstr is gone.
718 RenderMachineFunction: -rendermf
719 SplitKit?
720 Evan: Teach bottom up pre-ra scheduler to track register pressure. Work in progress.
721 Evan: Add an ILP scheduler. On x86_64, this is a win for all tests in CFP2000. It also sped up 256.bzip2 by 16%.
722
723 New OptimizeExts+OptimizeCmps -> PeepholeOptimizer pass
724 New LocalStackSlotAllocation.cpp pass (jimg)
725 Atomics now get legalized when not natively supported (jim g)
726
727 -ffunction-sections and -fdata-sections are supported on ELF targets.
728 -momit-leaf-frame-pointer now supported.

Chris Lattnerbf1cf672010-10-02 21:59:30 +0000[diff] [blame]747 New SSEDomainFix pass:
748 On Nehalem and newer CPUs there is a 2 cycle latency penalty on using a
749 register in a different domain than where it was defined. Some instructions
750 have equvivalents for different domains, like por/orps/orpd. The
751 SSEDomainFix pass tries to minimize the number of domain crossings by
752 changing between equvivalent opcodes where possible.
753
754 X86 backend attempts to promote 16-bit integer operations to 32-bits to avoid
755 0x66 prefixes, which are slow on some microarchitectures and bloat the code
756 on others.
757
758 New support for X86 "thiscall" calling convention (x86_thiscallcc in IR) for windows.
759
760 New llvm.x86.int intrinsic (for int $42 and int3)
761
762 Verbose assembly decodes X86 shuffle instructions, e.g.:
763 insertps $113, %xmm3, %xmm0 ## xmm0 = zero,xmm0[1,2],xmm3[1]
764 unpcklps %xmm1, %xmm0 ## xmm0 = xmm0[0],xmm1[0],xmm0[1],xmm1[1]
765 pshufd $1, %xmm1, %xmm1 ## xmm1 = xmm1[1,0,0,0]

Chris Lattner743bc472010-10-02 22:44:15 +0000[diff] [blame]794<li>The ARM NEON intrinsics have been substantially reworked to reduce
795 redundancy and improve code generation. Some of the major changes are:
796 <ol>
797 <li>
798 All of the NEON load and store intrinsics (llvm.arm.neon.vld* and
799 llvm.arm.neon.vst*) take an extra parameter to specify the alignment in bytes
800 of the memory being accessed.
801 </li>
802 <li>
803 The llvm.arm.neon.vaba intrinsic (vector absolute difference and
804 accumulate) has been removed. This operation is now represented using
805 the llvm.arm.neon.vabd intrinsic (vector absolute difference) followed by a
806 vector add.
807 </li>
808 <li>
809 The llvm.arm.neon.vabdl and llvm.arm.neon.vabal intrinsics (lengthening
810 vector absolute difference with and without accumlation) have been removed.
811 They are represented using the llvm.arm.neon.vabd intrinsic (vector absolute
812 difference) followed by a vector zero-extend operation, and for vabal,
813 a vector add.
814 </li>
815 <li>
816 The llvm.arm.neon.vmovn intrinsic has been removed. Calls of this intrinsic
817 are now replaced by vector truncate operations.
818 </li>
819 <li>
820 The llvm.arm.neon.vmovls and llvm.arm.neon.vmovlu intrinsics have been
821 removed. They are now represented as vector sign-extend (vmovls) and
822 zero-extend (vmovlu) operations.
823 </li>
824 <li>
825 The llvm.arm.neon.vaddl*, llvm.arm.neon.vaddw*, llvm.arm.neon.vsubl*, and
826 llvm.arm.neon.vsubw* intrinsics (lengthening vector add and subtract) have
827 been removed. They are replaced by vector add and vector subtract operations
828 where one (vaddw, vsubw) or both (vaddl, vsubl) of the operands are either
829 sign-extended or zero-extended.
830 </li>
831 <li>
832 The llvm.arm.neon.vmulls, llvm.arm.neon.vmullu, llvm.arm.neon.vmlal*, and
833 llvm.arm.neon.vmlsl* intrinsics (lengthening vector multiply with and without
834 accumulation and subtraction) have been removed. These operations are now
835 represented as vector multiplications where the operands are either
836 sign-extended or zero-extended, followed by a vector add for vmlal or a
837 vector subtract for vmlsl. Note that the polynomial vector multiply
838 intrinsic, llvm.arm.neon.vmullp, remains unchanged.

903API changes are:</p>
Chris Lattner934e2d42008-10-13 22:06:31 +0000[diff] [blame]904<ul>
Chris Lattner743bc472010-10-02 22:44:15 +0000[diff] [blame]905
906 RegisterPass<> -> INTIALIZE_PASS()
907
908
909
910<li>LLVM 2.8 changes the internal order of operands in <a
911 href="http://llvm.org/doxygen/classllvm_1_1InvokeInst.html"><tt>InvokeInst</tt></a>
912 and <a href="http://llvm.org/doxygen/classllvm_1_1CallInst.html"><tt>CallInst</tt></a>.
913 To be portable across releases, resort to <tt>CallSite</tt> and the
914 high-level accessors, such as <tt>getCalledValue</tt> and <tt>setUnwindDest</tt>.
915</li>
916<li>
917 You can no longer pass use_iterators directly to cast<> (and similar), because
918 these routines tend to perform costly dereference operations more than once. You
919 have to dereference the iterators yourself and pass them in.
920</li>
921<li>
922 llvm.memcpy.*, llvm.memset.*, llvm.memmove.* (and possibly other?) intrinsics
923 take an extra parameter now (i1 isVolatile), totaling 5 parameters.
924 If you were creating these intrinsic calls and prototypes yourself (as opposed
925 to using Intrinsic::getDeclaration), you can use UpgradeIntrinsicFunction/UpgradeIntrinsicCall
926 to be portable accross releases.
927 Note that you cannot use Intrinsic::getDeclaration() in a backwards compatible
928 way (needs 2/3 types now, in 2.7 it needed just 1).
929</li>
930<li>
931 SetCurrentDebugLocation takes a DebugLoc now instead of a MDNode.
932 Change your code to use
933 SetCurrentDebugLocation(DebugLoc::getFromDILocation(...)).
934</li>
935<li>
936 VISIBILITY_HIDDEN is gone.
937</li>
938<li>
939 The <tt>RegisterPass</tt> and <tt>RegisterAnalysisGroup</tt> templates are
940 considered deprecated, but continue to function in LLVM 2.8. Clients are
941 strongly advised to use the upcoming <tt>INITIALIZE_PASS()</tt> and
942 <tt>INITIALIZE_AG_PASS()</tt> macros instead.
943<li>
944 SMDiagnostic takes different parameters now. //FIXME: how to upgrade?
945</li>
946<li>
947 The constructor for the Triple class no longer tries to understand odd triple
948 specifications. Frontends should ensure that they only pass valid triples to
949 LLVM. The Triple::normalize utility method has been added to help front-ends
950 deal with funky triples.
951<li>
952 Some APIs got renamed:
953 <ul>
954 <li>llvm_report_error -&gt; report_fatal_error</li>
955 <li>llvm_install_error_handler -&gt; install_fatal_error_handler</li>
956 <li>llvm::DwarfExceptionHandling -&gt; llvm::JITExceptionHandling</li>
957 </ul>

1138 tools/gfortran component for details. Note that llvm-gcc is missing major
1139 Fortran performance work in the frontend and library that went into GCC after

John Criswellea03c9d2009-03-02 15:28:15 +0000[diff] [blame]1147to lack of trampoline support (pointers to nested functions) on other platforms.
1148However, it <a href="http://llvm.org/PR2006">also fails to build on X86-64</a>
