a more modern host C++ toolchain for Linux distros where folks sometimes
don't have a good option to get one as part of their system.
This is a first cut, so feedback, testing, and suggestions are very,
very welcom. This is one of the last real documentation changes that was
specifically requested prior to switching LLVM and Clang to build in
C++11 mode by default.

seems unlikely to be added. It also doesn't seem like it should be part
of the build system at all (consider out-of-tree builds).
We should probably add nice, easy tool for this that works both for svn
client trees and git-svn client trees, but it probably won't be spelled
"make update".

toolchain of LLVM. These are already being enforced by the build system
and have been discussed quite a few times on the lists, but
documentation is important. =]
Also, garbage collect the majority of the information about broken host
GCC toolchains. These aren't really relevant any more as they're all
older than the minimum requirement. I've left a few notes about
compilers one step older than the current requirement as these compilers
are at least conceivable to use, and it's better to preserve this kind
of hard-won institutional knowledge.
The next step will be some specific docs on how to set up a sufficiently
modern host toolchain if your system doesn't come with one. But that'll
be tomorrow. =]

bits of software and to use a modern GCC version.
The Subversion bit was weird anyways -- it has nothing to do with
compiling LLVM. Also, there are many other ways to get at the trunk
source (git, git-svn, etc).
The TeXinfo thing... I have no idea about. But you can get a working
LLVM w/o it pretty easily. If man pages or something are missing, that
hardly seems like a problem. If folks really want this back, let me
know, but it seems mostly like a distraction.
I'd still like to separate this into:
- Required software to compile.
- Optional software to compile.
- Required software for certain *contributor* activities (like
regenerating configure scripts).
Also we need to mention that there are multiple options for build
systems, and the differences.
Also we should mention Windows.
Also probably other stuff I'm forgetting.
I'm wondering if this whole thing needs to be shot in the head and we
should just start a new, simpler getting started that doesn't have so
many years of accumulated stuff that is no longer relevant.

Some highlights:
- I heard there was this Clang compiler that you could use for your
host compiler. Not sure though.
- We no longer have a GCC frontend with weird build restrictions.
- Windows is doing a bit better than partially supported.
- We nuked everything to do with itanium.
- SPUs? Really?
- Xcode 2.5 and gcc 4.0.1 are really not a concern -- they don't work.
- OMG, we actually tried building LLVM on Alpha? Really?
- PowerPC works pretty well these days.
There is still a lot of stuff here I'm pretty dubious about, but I nuked
most of what was actively misleading, out of date, or patently wrong.
Some of it (mingw stuff especially) isn't really lacking, its just that
the comments here were actively wrong. Hopefully folks that know those
platforms can add back correct / modern information.

The original text is very terse, so I've expanded on it.
Specifically, in the original text:
* "The selector value is a positive number if the exception matched a
type info" -- It wasn't clear that this meant "if the exception
matched a 'catch' clause".
* "If nothing is matched, the behavior of the program is
`undefined`_." -- It's actually implementation-defined in C++
rather than undefined, as the new text explains.

Introducing llvm-profdata, a tool for merging profile data generated by
PGO instrumentation in clang.
- The name indicates a file extension of <name>.profdata. Eventually
profile data output by clang should be changed to that extension.
- llvm-profdata merges two profiles. However, the name is more general,
since it will likely pick up more tasks (such as summarizing a single
profile).
- llvm-profdata parses the current text-based format, but will be
updated once we settle on a binary format.

Fun fact: looking at the TableGen code (around TGParser.cpp:1166), the
only difference in handling is that adjacent regular string literals are

They're called code fragments, but they are really multiline string
literals. Just spotted this usage in a patch by Aaron using "code
fragments" for holding documentation text. I remember someone bemoaning
the lack of multiline string literals in TableGen, so I'm explicitly
documenting that code fragments are multiline string literals.
Let it be known that any use case needing multiline string literals in
TableGen (such as descriptions of options, or whatnot) can use use
code fragments (instead of C-style string concatenation or exceedingly
long lines). E.g.
class Bar<int n>;
class Baz<int n>;
class Doc<string desc> {
string Desc = desc;
}
def Foo : Bar<1>, Baz<3>, Doc<[{
This Foo is a Bar, and also a Baz. It can take 3 values:
* Qux
* Quux
* Quuux
}]>;

This changes the PrologueEpilogInserter and LocalStackSlotAllocation passes to
follow the extended stack layout rules for sspstrong and sspreq.
The sspstrong layout rules are:
1. Large arrays and structures containing large arrays (>= ssp-buffer-size)
are closest to the stack protector.
2. Small arrays and structures containing small arrays (< ssp-buffer-size) are
2nd closest to the protector.
3. Variables that have had their address taken are 3rd closest to the
protector.

Calls with inalloca are lowered by skipping all stores for arguments
passed in memory and the initial stack adjustment to allocate argument
memory.
Now the frontend is responsible for the memory layout, and the backend
doesn't have to do any work. As a result these changes are pretty
minimal.

MSVC always places the 'this' parameter for a method first. The
implicit 'sret' pointer for methods always comes second. We already
implement this for __thiscall by putting sret parameters on the stack,
but __cdecl methods require putting both parameters on the stack in
opposite order.
Using a special calling convention allows frontends to keep the sret
parameter first, which avoids breaking lots of assumptions in LLVM and
Clang.
Fixes PR15768 with the corresponding change in Clang.

coding standards, and instead fix the existing section.
Thanks to Daniel Jasper for pointing out we already had a section
devoted to this topic. Instead of adding sections, just hack on this
section some. Also fix the example in the anonymous namespace section
below it to agree with the new advice.
As a re-cap, this switches the LLVM preferred style to never indent
namespaces. Having two approaches just led to endless (and utterly
pointless) debates about what was "small enough". This wasn't helping
anyone. The no-indent rule is easy to understand and doesn't really make
anything harder to read. Moreover, with tools like clang-format it is
considerably nicer to have simple consistent rules.

(and to mention namespace ending comments). This is based on a quick
discussion on the developer mailing list where there was essentially no
objections to a simple and consistent rule. This should avoid future
debates about whether or not a namespace is "big enough" to indent. It
also matches clang-format's current behavior with LLVM source code which
hasn't really seen any opposition in code reviews that I spot checked.

Summary:
The only current use of this flag is to mark the alloca as dynamic, even
if its in the entry block. The stack adjustment for the alloca can
never be folded into the prologue because the call may clear it and it
has to be allocated at the top of the stack.

This patch adds two new target-independent calling conventions for runtime
calls - PreserveMost and PreserveAll.
The target-specific implementation for X86-64 is defined as following:
- Arguments are passed as for the default C calling convention
- The same applies for the return value(s)
- PreserveMost preserves all GPRs - except R11
- PreserveAll preserves all GPRs and all XMMs/YMMs - except R11

Before this patch any program that wanted to know the final symbol name of a
GlobalValue had to link with Target.
This patch implements a compromise solution where the mangler uses DataLayout.
This way, any tool that already links with Target (llc, clang) gets the exact
behavior as before and new IR files can be mangled without linking with Target.
With this patch the mangler is constructed with just a DataLayout and DataLayout
is extended to include the information the Mangler needs.

During the years there have been some attempts at figuring out how to
align byval arguments. A look at the commit log suggests that they
were
* Use the ABI alignment.
* When that was not sufficient for x86-64, I added the 's' specification to
DataLayout.
* When that was not sufficient Evan added the virtual getByValTypeAlignment.
* When even that was not sufficient, we just got the FE to add the alignment
to the byval.
This patch is just a simple cleanup that removes my first attempt at fixing the
problem. I also added an AArch64 implementation of getByValTypeAlignment to
make sure this patch is a nop. I also left the 's' parsing for backward
compatibility.
I will send a short email to llvmdev about the change for anyone maintaining
an out of tree target.

These still have "experimental" status, meaning we don't guarantee
backward compatibility. However, they are already actively used by the

The inalloca attribute is designed to support passing C++ objects by
value in the Microsoft C++ ABI. It behaves the same as byval, except
that it always implies that the argument is in memory and that the bytes
are never copied. This attribute allows the caller to take the address
of an outgoing argument's memory and execute arbitrary code to store
into it.
This patch adds basic IR support, docs, and verification. It does not
attempt to implement any lowering or fix any possibly broken transforms.
When this patch lands, a complete description of this feature should

In some case, it may be required to build LLVM in C++11 mode, as some the subprojects (like lldb) requires it.
This mimics the autoconf behaviour.
However, given the discussions on the switch to C++11 of the codebase, this behaviour should evolve to default to C++11 with some checks of the compiler capabilities.

It extends the .section directive a bit, inspired by what the ELF one looks

part of getting started with LLVM.
The LLVM getting started document is in woeful need of attention. I may
get to some of this, but some random notes for folks interested:
1) We need to separate the getting started steps for folks who are
interested in the core LLVM libs and nothing else, folks interested
in a nifty C++ toolchain and nothing else, and folks interested in
both.
2) We should include documentation for both release archives, svn, and
git in equal portion, and we should document all of the various
repositories of interest: llvm, clang, clang-tools-extra,
compiler-rt, lld, libcxx, test-suite.
3) We should document the CMake build. We should probably document the
CMake build first, and give a fall-back set of docs for the Makefile
build for the use cases where that is still the preferred solution.
This would more closely match the use cases that folks in the open
source community are likely to have, and would remove a point of
discrepancy between Linux, Windows, and Mac instructions.
4) Probably a ton of other modernization stuff that I've not thought of
here.

This adds a llvm.copysign intrinsic; We already have Libfunc recognition for
copysign (which is turned into the FCOPYSIGN SDAG node). In order to
autovectorize calls to copysign in the loop vectorizer, we need a corresponding
intrinsic as well.
In addition to the expected changes to the language reference, the loop
vectorizer, BasicTTI, and the SDAG builder (the intrinsic is transformed into
an FCOPYSIGN node, just like the function call), this also adds FCOPYSIGN to a
few lists in LegalizeVector{Ops,Types} so that vector copysigns can be

In TargetLoweringBase::initActions, I've made the default action for FCOPYSIGN
be Expand for vector types. This seems correct for all in-tree targets, and I
think is the right thing to do because, previously, there was no way to generate
vector-values FCOPYSIGN nodes (and most targets don't specify an action for
vector-typed FCOPYSIGN).

As Ben pointed out, GAS doesn't support this syntax so we should give at least
some warning that it might not be portable.

All libm floating-point rounding functions, except for round(), had their own
ISD nodes. Recent PowerPC cores have an instruction for round(), and so here I'm
adding ISD::FROUND so that round() can be custom lowered as well.
For the most part, this is straightforward. I've added an intrinsic
and a matching ISD node just like those for nearbyint() and friends. The
SelectionDAG pattern I've named frnd (because ISD::FP_ROUND has already claimed
fround).
This will be used by the PowerPC backend in a follow-up commit.

This change makes test with RUN lines like
RUN: opt ... | FileCheck
fail if opt fails, even if it prints what FileCheck wants. Enabling this
found some interesting cases of broken tests that were not being noticed
because opt (or some other tool) was crashing late.
Pipefail is used when the shell supports it or when using the internal
python based tester.

Back in r140220 we removed the autoconf code that would set LLVMCC_OPTION
since it was only used by the test-suite. This patch now removes code
that would only be used if LLVMCC_OPTION was set.
