rL341831 moved one-use check higher up, restricting a few folds that produced a single instruction from two instructions to the case where the inner instruction would go away. Original commit message: > InstCombine: move hasOneUse check to the top of foldICmpAddConstant > > There were two combines not covered by the check before now, > neither of which actually differed from normal in the benefit analysis. > > The most recent seems to be because it was just added at the top of the > function (naturally). The older is from way back in 2008 (r46687) > when we just didn't put those checks in so routinely, and has been > diligently maintained since. From the commit message alone, there doesn't seem to be a deeper motivation, deeper problem that was trying to solve, other than 'fixing the wrong one-use check'. As i have briefly discusses in IRC with Tim, the original motivation can no longer be recovered, too much time has passed. However i believe that the original fold was doing the right thing, we should be performing such a transformation even if the inner `add` will not go away - that will still unchain the comparison from `add`, it will no longer need to wait for `add` to compute. Doing so doesn't seem to break any particular idioms, as least as far as i can see. References https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44100
The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure
This directory and its subdirectories contain source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and runtime environments.
Getting Started with the LLVM System
Taken from https://llvm.org/docs/GettingStarted.html.
Overview
Welcome to the LLVM project!
The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called "LLVM". This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and converts it into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer. It also contains basic regression tests.
C-like languages use the Clang front end. This component compiles C, C++, Objective C, and Objective C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.
Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
Getting the Source Code and Building LLVM
The LLVM Getting Started documentation may be out of date. The Clang Getting Started page might have more accurate information.
This is an example workflow and configuration to get and build the LLVM source:
-
Checkout LLVM (including related subprojects like Clang):
-
git clone https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project.git -
Or, on windows,
git clone --config core.autocrlf=false https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project.git
-
-
Configure and build LLVM and Clang:
-
cd llvm-project -
mkdir build -
cd build -
cmake -G <generator> [options] ../llvmSome common generators are:
Ninja--- for generating Ninja build files. Most llvm developers use Ninja.Unix Makefiles--- for generating make-compatible parallel makefiles.Visual Studio--- for generating Visual Studio projects and solutions.Xcode--- for generating Xcode projects.
Some Common options:
-
-DLLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS='...'--- semicolon-separated list of the LLVM subprojects you'd like to additionally build. Can include any of: clang, clang-tools-extra, libcxx, libcxxabi, libunwind, lldb, compiler-rt, lld, polly, or debuginfo-tests.For example, to build LLVM, Clang, libcxx, and libcxxabi, use
-DLLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS="clang;libcxx;libcxxabi". -
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=directory--- Specify for directory the full pathname of where you want the LLVM tools and libraries to be installed (default/usr/local). -
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=type--- Valid options for type are Debug, Release, RelWithDebInfo, and MinSizeRel. Default is Debug. -
-DLLVM_ENABLE_ASSERTIONS=On--- Compile with assertion checks enabled (default is Yes for Debug builds, No for all other build types).
-
Run your build tool of choice!
-
The default target (i.e.
ninjaormake) will build all of LLVM. -
The
check-alltarget (i.e.ninja check-all) will run the regression tests to ensure everything is in working order. -
CMake will generate build targets for each tool and library, and most LLVM sub-projects generate their own
check-<project>target. -
Running a serial build will be slow. To improve speed, try running a parallel build. That's done by default in Ninja; for
make, usemake -j NNN(NNN is the number of parallel jobs, use e.g. number of CPUs you have.)
