Check accessors of `MDLocation`, and change them to `cast<>` down to the
right types. Also add type-safe factory functions.
All the callers that handle broken code need to use the new versions of
the accessors (`getRawScope()` instead of `getScope()`) that still
return `Metadata*`. This is also necessary for things like
`MDNodeKeyImpl<MDLocation>` (in LLVMContextImpl.h) that need to unique
the nodes when their operands might still be forward references of the
wrong type.
In the `Value` hierarchy, consumers that handle broken code use
`getOperand()` directly. However, debug info nodes have a ton of
operands, and their order (even their existence) isn't stable yet. It's
safer and more maintainable to add an explicit "raw" accessor on the
class itself.

We failed to use a marking set to properly handle recursive types, which caused use

Fixing this also exposed a related issue where the landingpad under construction was not
cleaned up when an error was raised, which would cause bad reference errors before the
error could actually be printed.

This reverts r231200 and r231204. The second one added an explicit move
ctor for MSVC.
This change broke the clang-cl self-host due to weirdness in MSVC's
implementation of std::map::insert. Somehow we lost our rvalue ref-ness
when going through variadic placement new:
template <class _Objty, class... _Types>
void construct(_Objty *_Ptr,
_Types &&... _Args) { // construct _Objty(_Types...) at _Ptr
::new ((void *)_Ptr) _Objty(_STD forward<_Types>(_Args)...);
}
For some reason, Clang decided to call the deleted std::pair copy
constructor at this point. Needs further investigation, once I can
build.

There doesn't seem to be any need to assert that iterator assignment is
between iterators over the same node - if you want to reuse an iterator
variable to iterate another node, that's perfectly acceptable. Just
don't mix comparisons between iterators into disjoint sequences, as
usual.

While gaining practical experience hand-updating CHECK lines (for moving
the new debug info hierarchy into place), I learnt a few things about
CHECK-ability of the specialized node assembly output.
- The first part of a `CHECK:` is to identify the "right" node (this
is especially true if you intend to use the new `CHECK-SAME`
feature, since the first CHECK needs to identify the node correctly
before you can split the line).
- If there's a `tag:`, it should go first.
- If there's a `name:`, it should go next (followed by the
`linkageName:`, if any).
- If there's a `scope:`, it should follow after that.
- When a node type supports multiple DW_TAGs, but one is implied by
its name and is overwhelmingly more common, the `tag:` field is
terribly uninteresting unless it's different.
- `MDBasicType` is almost always `DW_TAG_base_type`.
- `MDTemplateValueParameter` is almost always
`DW_TAG_template_value_parameter`.
- Printing `name: ""` doesn't improve CHECK-ability, and there are far
more nodes than I realized that are commonly nameless.
- There are a few other fields that similarly aren't very interesting
when they're empty.
This commit updates the `AsmWriter` as suggested above (and makes
necessary changes in `LLParser` for round-tripping).

One of several parallel first steps to remove the target type of pointers,
replacing them with a single opaque pointer type.
This adds an explicit type parameter to the gep instruction so that when the
first parameter becomes an opaque pointer type, the type to gep through is
still available to the instructions.
* This doesn't modify gep operators, only instructions (operators will be
handled separately)
* Textual IR changes only. Bitcode (including upgrade) and changing the
in-memory representation will be in separate changes.
* geps of vectors are transformed as:
getelementptr <4 x float*> %x, ...
->getelementptr float, <4 x float*> %x, ...
Then, once the opaque pointer type is introduced, this will ultimately look
like:
getelementptr float, <4 x ptr> %x
with the unambiguous interpretation that it is a vector of pointers to float.
* address spaces remain on the pointer, not the type:
getelementptr float addrspace(1)* %x
->getelementptr float, float addrspace(1)* %x
Then, eventually:
getelementptr float, ptr addrspace(1) %x
Importantly, the massive amount of test case churn has been automated by
same crappy python code. I had to manually update a few test cases that
wouldn't fit the script's model (r228970,r229196,r229197,r229198). The
python script just massages stdin and writes the result to stdout, I
then wrapped that in a shell script to handle replacing files, then
using the usual find+xargs to migrate all the files.

The actual commands:

From llvm/src/tools/clang:
find test/ -name *.mm -o -name *.m -o -name *.cpp -o -name *.c | xargs -I '{}' ../../apply.sh "{}"
From llvm/src/tools/polly:
find test/ -name *.ll | xargs ./apply.sh
After that, check-all (with llvm, clang, clang-tools-extra, lld,
compiler-rt, and polly all checked out).
The extra 'rm' in the apply.sh script is due to a few files in clang's test
suite using interesting unicode stuff that my python script was throwing
exceptions on. None of those files needed to be migrated, so it seemed
sufficient to ignore those cases.

Parse (and write) symbolic constants in debug info `flags:` fields.
This prevents a readability (and CHECK-ability) regression with the new
debug info hierarchy.
Old (well, current) assembly, with pretty-printing:
!{!"...\\0016387", ...} ; ... [public] [rvalue reference]
Flags field without this change:
!MDDerivedType(flags: 16387, ...)
Flags field with this change:
!MDDerivedType(flags: DIFlagPublic | DIFlagRValueReference, ...)
As discussed in the review thread, this isn't a final state. Most of
these flags correspond to `DW_AT_` symbolic constants, and we might
eventually want to support arbitrary attributes in some form. However,
as it stands now, some of the flags correspond to other concepts (like
`FlagStaticMember`); until things are refactored this is the simplest
way to move forward without regressing assembly.

Leverage `StringRef` inside keyword comparison macros. There's no

`do { ... } while (false)` is standard macro etiquette for forcing
instantiations into a single statement and requiring a `;` afterwards,
making statement-like macros easier to reason about (and harder to use
incorrectly).
I'm about to modify the macros in `LexIdentifier()`. I noticed that the
`KEYWORD` macro *does* follow the rule, so I thought I'd clean up the
other macros to match (otherwise might not be worth changing, since the
benefits of this pattern are fairly irrelevant here).

When trying to match the current schema with the new debug info
hierarchy, I downgraded `SizeInBits`, `AlignInBits` and `OffsetInBits`
to 32-bits (oops!). Caught this while testing my upgrade script to move
the hierarchy into place. Bump it back up to 64-bits and update tests.

Follow-up to r229740, which removed `DITemplate*::getContext()` after my
upgrade script revealed that scopes are always `nullptr` for template
parameters. This is the other shoe: drop `scope:` from
`MDTemplateParameter` and its two subclasses. (Note: a bitcode upgrade
would be pointless, since the hierarchy hasn't been moved into place.)

Put the name before the value in assembly for `MDEnum`. While working
on the testcase upgrade script for the new hierarchy, I noticed that it
"looks nicer" to have the name first, since it lines the names up in the
(somewhat typical) case that they have a common prefix.

Remove unnecessary restriction of 24-bits for line numbers in
`MDLocation`.
The rest of the debug info schema (with the exception of local
variables) uses 32-bits for line numbers. As I introduce the
specialized nodes, it makes sense to canonicalize on one size or the
other.

Move debug-info-centred `Metadata` subclasses into their own

As pointed out in r226501, the distinction between `MDNode` and
`UniquableMDNode` is confusing. When we need subclasses of `MDNode`
that don't use all its functionality it might make sense to break it
apart again, but until then this makes the code clearer.

Change `MDTuple::getTemporary()` and `MDLocation::getTemporary()` to
return (effectively) `std::unique_ptr<T, MDNode::deleteTemporary>`, and
clean up call sites. (For now, `DIBuilder` call sites just call
`release()` immediately.)
There's an accompanying change in each of clang and polly to use the new
API.
git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@226504 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
Remove `MDNodeFwdDecl` (as promised in r226481). Aside from API
changes, there's no real functionality change here.
`MDNode::getTemporary()` now forwards to `MDTuple::getTemporary()`,
which returns a tuple with `isTemporary()` equal to true.
The main point is that we can now add temporaries of other `MDNode`
subclasses, needed for PR22235 (I introduced `MDNodeFwdDecl` in the
first place because I didn't recognize this need, and thought they were
only needed to handle forward references).
A few things left out of (or highlighted by) this commit:
- I've had to remove the (few) uses of `std::unique_ptr<>` to deal
with temporaries, since the destructor is no longer public.
`getTemporary()` should probably return the equivalent of
`std::unique_ptr<T, MDNode::deleteTemporary>`.
- `MDLocation::getTemporary()` doesn't exist yet (worse, it actually
does exist, but does the wrong thing: `MDNode::getTemporary()` is
inherited and returns an `MDTuple`).
- `MDNode` now only has one subclass, `UniquableMDNode`, and the
distinction between them is actually somewhat confusing.
I'll fix those up next.

This adds assembly and bitcode support for `MDLocation`. The assembly
side is rather big, since this is the first `MDNode` subclass (that
isn't `MDTuple`). Part of PR21433.

don't need them until I update `DILocation` and `DebugLoc` to actually

`DebugLoc` is stored normally (since the metadata/value split), we don't

Split `GenericMDNode` into two classes (with more descriptive names).
- `UniquableMDNode` will be a common subclass for `MDNode`s that are
sometimes uniqued like constants, and sometimes 'distinct'.
This class gets the (short-lived) RAUW support and related API.
- `MDTuple` is the basic tuple that has always been returned by
`MDNode::get()`. This is as opposed to more specific nodes to be
added soon, which have additional fields, custom assembly syntax,
and extra semantics.
This class gets the hash-related logic, since other sublcasses of
`UniquableMDNode` may need to hash based on other fields.
To keep this diff from getting too big, I've added casts to `MDTuple`
that won't really scale as new subclasses of `UniquableMDNode` are
added, but I'll clean those up incrementally.
(No functionality change intended.)
git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@225682 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
Propagate whether `MDNode`s are 'distinct' through the other types of IR
(assembly and bitcode). This adds the `distinct` keyword to assembly.
Currently, no one actually calls `MDNode::getDistinct()`, so these nodes
only get created for:
- self-references, which are never uniqued, and
- nodes whose operands are replaced that hit a uniquing collision.
The concept of distinct nodes is still not quite first-class, since
distinct-ness doesn't yet survive across `MapMetadata()`.

In order to make comdats always explicit in the IR, we decided to make
the syntax a bit more compact for the case of a GlobalObject in a
comdat with the same name.
Just dropping the $name causes problems for
@foo = globabl i32 0, comdat
$bar = comdat ...
and
declare void @foo() comdat
$bar = comdat ...
So the syntax is changed to
@g1 = globabl i32 0, comdat($c1)
@g2 = globabl i32 0, comdat
and
declare void @foo() comdat($c1)
declare void @foo() comdat

Now that `Metadata` is typeless, reflect that in the assembly. These
are the matching assembly changes for the metadata/value split in
r223802.
- Only use the `metadata` type when referencing metadata from a call
intrinsic -- i.e., only when it's used as a `Value`.
- Stop pretending that `ValueAsMetadata` is wrapped in an `MDNode`
when referencing it from call intrinsics.
So, assembly like this:
define @foo(i32 %v) {
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !{i32 %v}, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !{i32 7}, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !1, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !3, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !{metadata !3}, metadata !0)
ret void, !bar !2
}
!0 = metadata !{metadata !2}
!1 = metadata !{i32* @global}
!2 = metadata !{metadata !3}
!3 = metadata !{}
turns into this:
define @foo(i32 %v) {
call void @llvm.foo(metadata i32 %v, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata i32 7, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata i32* @global, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !3, metadata !0)
call void @llvm.foo(metadata !{!3}, metadata !0)
ret void, !bar !2
}
!0 = !{!2}
!1 = !{i32* @global}
!2 = !{!3}
!3 = !{}
I wrote an upgrade script that handled almost all of the tests in llvm

Split `Metadata` away from the `Value` class hierarchy, as part of
PR21532. Assembly and bitcode changes are in the wings, but this is the
bulk of the change for the IR C++ API.
I have a follow-up patch prepared for `clang`. If this breaks other
sub-projects, I apologize in advance :(. Help me compile it on Darwin
I'll try to fix it. FWIW, the errors should be easy to fix, so it may
be simpler to just fix it yourself.
This breaks the build for all metadata-related code that's out-of-tree.
Rest assured the transition is mechanical and the compiler should catch
almost all of the problems.
Here's a quick guide for updating your code:
- `Metadata` is the root of a class hierarchy with three main classes:
`MDNode`, `MDString`, and `ValueAsMetadata`. It is distinct from
the `Value` class hierarchy. It is typeless -- i.e., instances do
*not* have a `Type`.
- `MDNode`'s operands are all `Metadata *` (instead of `Value *`).
- `TrackingVH<MDNode>` and `WeakVH` referring to metadata can be
replaced with `TrackingMDNodeRef` and `TrackingMDRef`, respectively.
If you're referring solely to resolved `MDNode`s -- post graph
construction -- just use `MDNode*`.
- `MDNode` (and the rest of `Metadata`) have only limited support for
`replaceAllUsesWith()`.
As long as an `MDNode` is pointing at a forward declaration -- the
result of `MDNode::getTemporary()` -- it maintains a side map of its
uses and can RAUW itself. Once the forward declarations are fully
resolved RAUW support is dropped on the ground. This means that
uniquing collisions on changing operands cause nodes to become
"distinct". (This already happened fairly commonly, whenever an
operand went to null.)
If you're constructing complex (non self-reference) `MDNode` cycles,
you need to call `MDNode::resolveCycles()` on each node (or on a
top-level node that somehow references all of the nodes). Also,
don't do that. Metadata cycles (and the RAUW machinery needed to
construct them) are expensive.
- An `MDNode` can only refer to a `Constant` through a bridge called
`ConstantAsMetadata` (one of the subclasses of `ValueAsMetadata`).
As a side effect, accessing an operand of an `MDNode` that is known
to be, e.g., `ConstantInt`, takes three steps: first, cast from
`Metadata` to `ConstantAsMetadata`; second, extract the `Constant`;
third, cast down to `ConstantInt`.
The eventual goal is to introduce `MDInt`/`MDFloat`/etc. and have
metadata schema owners transition away from using `Constant`s when
the type isn't important (and they don't care about referring to
`GlobalValue`s).
In the meantime, I've added transitional API to the `mdconst`
namespace that matches semantics with the old code, in order to
avoid adding the error-prone three-step equivalent to every call
site. If your old code was:
MDNode *N = foo();
bar(isa <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(0)));
baz(cast <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(1)));
bak(cast_or_null <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(2)));
bat(dyn_cast <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(3)));
bay(dyn_cast_or_null<ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(4)));
you can trivially match its semantics with:
MDNode *N = foo();
bar(mdconst::hasa <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(0)));
baz(mdconst::extract <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(1)));
bak(mdconst::extract_or_null <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(2)));
bat(mdconst::dyn_extract <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(3)));
bay(mdconst::dyn_extract_or_null<ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(4)));
and when you transition your metadata schema to `MDInt`:
MDNode *N = foo();
bar(isa <MDInt>(N->getOperand(0)));
baz(cast <MDInt>(N->getOperand(1)));
bak(cast_or_null <MDInt>(N->getOperand(2)));
bat(dyn_cast <MDInt>(N->getOperand(3)));
bay(dyn_cast_or_null<MDInt>(N->getOperand(4)));
- A `CallInst` -- specifically, intrinsic instructions -- can refer to
metadata through a bridge called `MetadataAsValue`. This is a
subclass of `Value` where `getType()->isMetadataTy()`.
`MetadataAsValue` is the *only* class that can legally refer to a
`LocalAsMetadata`, which is a bridged form of non-`Constant` values
like `Argument` and `Instruction`. It can also refer to any other
`Metadata` subclass.
(I'll break all your testcases in a follow-up commit, when I propagate
this change to assembly.)
