Welcome to Chapter 4 of the "Implementing a language with LLVM" tutorial. Chapters 1-3 described the implementation of a simple language and added support for generating LLVM IR. This chapter describes two new techniques: adding optimizer support to your language, and adding JIT compiler support. These additions will demonstrate how to get nice, efficient code for the Kaleidoscope language.
Note: the default IRBuilder now always includes the constant folding optimisations below.
Our demonstration for Chapter 3 is elegant and easy to extend. Unfortunately, it does not produce wonderful code. For example, when compiling simple code, we don't get obvious optimizations:
ready> def test(x) 1+2+x;
Read function definition:
define double @test(double %x) {
entry:
%addtmp = fadd double 1.000000e+00, 2.000000e+00
%addtmp1 = fadd double %addtmp, %x
ret double %addtmp1
}
This code is a very, very literal transcription of the AST built by parsing the input. As such, this transcription lacks optimizations like constant folding (we'd like to get "add x, 3.0" in the example above) as well as other more important optimizations. Constant folding, in particular, is a very common and very important optimization: so much so that many language implementors implement constant folding support in their AST representation.
With LLVM, you don't need this support in the AST. Since all calls to build LLVM IR go through the LLVM builder, it would be nice if the builder itself checked to see if there was a constant folding opportunity when you call it. If so, it could just do the constant fold and return the constant instead of creating an instruction. This is exactly what the LLVMFoldingBuilder class does.
All we did was switch from LLVMBuilder to LLVMFoldingBuilder. Though we change no other code, we now have all of our instructions implicitly constant folded without us having to do anything about it. For example, the input above now compiles to:
ready> def test(x) 1+2+x;
Read function definition:
define double @test(double %x) {
entry:
%addtmp = fadd double 3.000000e+00, %x
ret double %addtmp
}
Well, that was easy :). In practice, we recommend always using LLVMFoldingBuilder when generating code like this. It has no "syntactic overhead" for its use (you don't have to uglify your compiler with constant checks everywhere) and it can dramatically reduce the amount of LLVM IR that is generated in some cases (particular for languages with a macro preprocessor or that use a lot of constants).
On the other hand, the LLVMFoldingBuilder is limited by the fact that it does all of its analysis inline with the code as it is built. If you take a slightly more complex example:
ready> def test(x) (1+2+x)*(x+(1+2));
ready> Read function definition:
define double @test(double %x) {
entry:
%addtmp = fadd double 3.000000e+00, %x
%addtmp1 = fadd double %x, 3.000000e+00
%multmp = fmul double %addtmp, %addtmp1
ret double %multmp
}
In this case, the LHS and RHS of the multiplication are the same value. We'd really like to see this generate "tmp = x+3; result = tmp*tmp;" instead of computing "x*3" twice.
Unfortunately, no amount of local analysis will be able to detect and correct this. This requires two transformations: reassociation of expressions (to make the add's lexically identical) and Common Subexpression Elimination (CSE) to delete the redundant add instruction. Fortunately, LLVM provides a broad range of optimizations that you can use, in the form of "passes".
LLVM provides many optimization passes, which do many different sorts of things and have different tradeoffs. Unlike other systems, LLVM doesn't hold to the mistaken notion that one set of optimizations is right for all languages and for all situations. LLVM allows a compiler implementor to make complete decisions about what optimizations to use, in which order, and in what situation.
As a concrete example, LLVM supports both "whole module" passes, which look across as large of body of code as they can (often a whole file, but if run at link time, this can be a substantial portion of the whole program). It also supports and includes "per-function" passes which just operate on a single function at a time, without looking at other functions. For more information on passes and how they are run, see the How to Write a Pass document and the List of LLVM Passes.
For Kaleidoscope, we are currently generating functions on the fly, one at a time, as the user types them in. We aren't shooting for the ultimate optimization experience in this setting, but we also want to catch the easy and quick stuff where possible. As such, we will choose to run a few per-function optimizations as the user types the function in. If we wanted to make a "static Kaleidoscope compiler", we would use exactly the code we have now, except that we would defer running the optimizer until the entire file has been parsed.
In order to get per-function optimizations going, we need to set up a Llvm.PassManager to hold and organize the LLVM optimizations that we want to run. Once we have that, we can add a set of optimizations to run. The code looks like this:
(* Create the JIT. *) let the_execution_engine = ExecutionEngine.create Codegen.the_module in let the_fpm = PassManager.create_function Codegen.the_module in (* Set up the optimizer pipeline. Start with registering info about how the * target lays out data structures. *) TargetData.add (ExecutionEngine.target_data the_execution_engine) the_fpm; (* Do simple "peephole" optimizations and bit-twiddling optzn. *) add_instruction_combining the_fpm; (* reassociate expressions. *) add_reassociation the_fpm; (* Eliminate Common SubExpressions. *) add_gvn the_fpm; (* Simplify the control flow graph (deleting unreachable blocks, etc). *) add_cfg_simplification the_fpm; ignore (PassManager.initialize the_fpm); (* Run the main "interpreter loop" now. *) Toplevel.main_loop the_fpm the_execution_engine stream;
The meat of the matter here, is the definition of "the_fpm". It requires a pointer to the the_module to construct itself. Once it is set up, we use a series of "add" calls to add a bunch of LLVM passes. The first pass is basically boilerplate, it adds a pass so that later optimizations know how the data structures in the program are laid out. The "the_execution_engine" variable is related to the JIT, which we will get to in the next section.
In this case, we choose to add 4 optimization passes. The passes we chose here are a pretty standard set of "cleanup" optimizations that are useful for a wide variety of code. I won't delve into what they do but, believe me, they are a good starting place :).
Once the Llvm.PassManager. is set up, we need to make use of it. We do this by running it after our newly created function is constructed (in Codegen.codegen_func), but before it is returned to the client:
let codegen_func the_fpm = function
...
try
let ret_val = codegen_expr body in
(* Finish off the function. *)
let _ = build_ret ret_val builder in
(* Validate the generated code, checking for consistency. *)
Llvm_analysis.assert_valid_function the_function;
(* Optimize the function. *)
let _ = PassManager.run_function the_function the_fpm in
the_function
As you can see, this is pretty straightforward. The the_fpm optimizes and updates the LLVM Function* in place, improving (hopefully) its body. With this in place, we can try our test above again:
ready> def test(x) (1+2+x)*(x+(1+2));
ready> Read function definition:
define double @test(double %x) {
entry:
%addtmp = fadd double %x, 3.000000e+00
%multmp = fmul double %addtmp, %addtmp
ret double %multmp
}
As expected, we now get our nicely optimized code, saving a floating point add instruction from every execution of this function.
LLVM provides a wide variety of optimizations that can be used in certain circumstances. Some documentation about the various passes is available, but it isn't very complete. Another good source of ideas can come from looking at the passes that Clang runs to get started. The "opt" tool allows you to experiment with passes from the command line, so you can see if they do anything.
Now that we have reasonable code coming out of our front-end, lets talk about executing it!
Code that is available in LLVM IR can have a wide variety of tools applied to it. For example, you can run optimizations on it (as we did above), you can dump it out in textual or binary forms, you can compile the code to an assembly file (.s) for some target, or you can JIT compile it. The nice thing about the LLVM IR representation is that it is the "common currency" between many different parts of the compiler.
In this section, we'll add JIT compiler support to our interpreter. The basic idea that we want for Kaleidoscope is to have the user enter function bodies as they do now, but immediately evaluate the top-level expressions they type in. For example, if they type in "1 + 2;", we should evaluate and print out 3. If they define a function, they should be able to call it from the command line.
In order to do this, we first declare and initialize the JIT. This is done by adding a global variable and a call in main:
... let main () = ... (* Create the JIT. *) let the_execution_engine = ExecutionEngine.create Codegen.the_module in ...
This creates an abstract "Execution Engine" which can be either a JIT compiler or the LLVM interpreter. LLVM will automatically pick a JIT compiler for you if one is available for your platform, otherwise it will fall back to the interpreter.
Once the Llvm_executionengine.ExecutionEngine.t is created, the JIT is ready to be used. There are a variety of APIs that are useful, but the simplest one is the "Llvm_executionengine.ExecutionEngine.run_function" function. This method JIT compiles the specified LLVM Function and returns a function pointer to the generated machine code. In our case, this means that we can change the code that parses a top-level expression to look like this:
(* Evaluate a top-level expression into an anonymous function. *)
let e = Parser.parse_toplevel stream in
print_endline "parsed a top-level expr";
let the_function = Codegen.codegen_func the_fpm e in
dump_value the_function;
(* JIT the function, returning a function pointer. *)
let result = ExecutionEngine.run_function the_function [||]
the_execution_engine in
print_string "Evaluated to ";
print_float (GenericValue.as_float Codegen.double_type result);
print_newline ();
Recall that we compile top-level expressions into a self-contained LLVM function that takes no arguments and returns the computed double. Because the LLVM JIT compiler matches the native platform ABI, this means that you can just cast the result pointer to a function pointer of that type and call it directly. This means, there is no difference between JIT compiled code and native machine code that is statically linked into your application.
With just these two changes, lets see how Kaleidoscope works now!
ready> 4+5;
define double @""() {
entry:
ret double 9.000000e+00
}
Evaluated to 9.000000
Well this looks like it is basically working. The dump of the function shows the "no argument function that always returns double" that we synthesize for each top level expression that is typed in. This demonstrates very basic functionality, but can we do more?
ready> def testfunc(x y) x + y*2;
Read function definition:
define double @testfunc(double %x, double %y) {
entry:
%multmp = fmul double %y, 2.000000e+00
%addtmp = fadd double %multmp, %x
ret double %addtmp
}
ready> testfunc(4, 10);
define double @""() {
entry:
%calltmp = call double @testfunc(double 4.000000e+00, double 1.000000e+01)
ret double %calltmp
}
Evaluated to 24.000000
This illustrates that we can now call user code, but there is something a bit subtle going on here. Note that we only invoke the JIT on the anonymous functions that call testfunc, but we never invoked it on testfunc itself. What actually happened here is that the JIT scanned for all non-JIT'd functions transitively called from the anonymous function and compiled all of them before returning from run_function.
The JIT provides a number of other more advanced interfaces for things like freeing allocated machine code, rejit'ing functions to update them, etc. However, even with this simple code, we get some surprisingly powerful capabilities - check this out (I removed the dump of the anonymous functions, you should get the idea by now :) :
ready> extern sin(x);
Read extern:
declare double @sin(double)
ready> extern cos(x);
Read extern:
declare double @cos(double)
ready> sin(1.0);
Evaluated to 0.841471
ready> def foo(x) sin(x)*sin(x) + cos(x)*cos(x);
Read function definition:
define double @foo(double %x) {
entry:
%calltmp = call double @sin(double %x)
%multmp = fmul double %calltmp, %calltmp
%calltmp2 = call double @cos(double %x)
%multmp4 = fmul double %calltmp2, %calltmp2
%addtmp = fadd double %multmp, %multmp4
ret double %addtmp
}
ready> foo(4.0);
Evaluated to 1.000000
Whoa, how does the JIT know about sin and cos? The answer is surprisingly simple: in this example, the JIT started execution of a function and got to a function call. It realized that the function was not yet JIT compiled and invoked the standard set of routines to resolve the function. In this case, there is no body defined for the function, so the JIT ended up calling "dlsym("sin")" on the Kaleidoscope process itself. Since "sin" is defined within the JIT's address space, it simply patches up calls in the module to call the libm version of sin directly.
The LLVM JIT provides a number of interfaces (look in the llvm_executionengine.mli file) for controlling how unknown functions get resolved. It allows you to establish explicit mappings between IR objects and addresses (useful for LLVM global variables that you want to map to static tables, for example), allows you to dynamically decide on the fly based on the function name, and even allows you to have the JIT compile functions lazily the first time they're called.
One interesting application of this is that we can now extend the language by writing arbitrary C code to implement operations. For example, if we add:
/* putchard - putchar that takes a double and returns 0. */
extern "C"
double putchard(double X) {
putchar((char)X);
return 0;
}
Now we can produce simple output to the console by using things like: "extern putchard(x); putchard(120);", which prints a lowercase 'x' on the console (120 is the ASCII code for 'x'). Similar code could be used to implement file I/O, console input, and many other capabilities in Kaleidoscope.
This completes the JIT and optimizer chapter of the Kaleidoscope tutorial. At this point, we can compile a non-Turing-complete programming language, optimize and JIT compile it in a user-driven way. Next up we'll look into extending the language with control flow constructs, tackling some interesting LLVM IR issues along the way.
Here is the complete code listing for our running example, enhanced with the LLVM JIT and optimizer. To build this example, use:
