What is commonly known as the LLVM bitcode file format (also, sometimes
|
|
anachronistically known as bytecode) is actually two things: a <a
|
|
href="#bitstream">bitstream container format</a>
|
|
and an <a href="#llvmir">encoding of LLVM IR</a> into the container format.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The bitstream format is an abstract encoding of structured data, very
|
|
similar to XML in some ways. Like XML, bitstream files contain tags, and nested
|
|
structures, and you can parse the file without having to understand the tags.
|
|
Unlike XML, the bitstream format is a binary encoding, and unlike XML it
|
|
provides a mechanism for the file to self-describe "abbreviations", which are
|
|
effectively size optimizations for the content.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>LLVM IR files may be optionally embedded into a <a
|
|
href="#wrapper">wrapper</a> structure that makes it easy to embed extra data
|
|
along with LLVM IR files.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>This document first describes the LLVM bitstream format, describes the
|
|
wrapper format, then describes the record structure used by LLVM IR files.

The bitstream format is literally a stream of bits, with a very simple
|
|
structure. This structure consists of the following concepts:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>A "<a href="#magic">magic number</a>" that identifies the contents of
|
|
the stream.</li>
|
|
<li>Encoding <a href="#primitives">primitives</a> like variable bit-rate
|
|
integers.</li>
|
|
<li><a href="#blocks">Blocks</a>, which define nested content.</li>
|
|
<li><a href="#datarecord">Data Records</a>, which describe entities within the
|
|
file.</li>
|
|
<li>Abbreviations, which specify compression optimizations for the file.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>Note that the <a
|
|
href="CommandGuide/html/llvm-bcanalyzer.html">llvm-bcanalyzer</a> tool can be
|
|
used to dump and inspect arbitrary bitstreams, which is very useful for
|
|
understanding the encoding.</p>

A bitstream literally consists of a stream of bits, which are read in order
|
|
starting with the least significant bit of each byte. The stream is made up of a
|
|
number of primitive values that encode a stream of unsigned integer values.
|
|
These integers are encoded in two ways: either as <a href="#fixedwidth">Fixed
|
|
Width Integers</a> or as <a href="#variablewidth">Variable Width
|
|
Integers</a>.

|
<p>Fixed-width integer values have their low bits emitted directly to the file.
|
|
For example, a 3-bit integer value encodes 1 as 001. Fixed width integers
|
|
are used when there are a well-known number of options for a field. For
|
|
example, boolean values are usually encoded with a 1-bit wide integer.

<p>Variable-width integer (VBR) values encode values of arbitrary size,

|
optimizing for the case where the values are small. Given a 4-bit VBR field,
|
|
any 3-bit value (0 through 7) is encoded directly, with the high bit set to
|
|
zero. Values larger than N-1 bits emit their bits in a series of N-1 bit
|
|
chunks, where all but the last set the high bit.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>For example, the value 27 (0x1B) is encoded as 1011 0011 when emitted as a
|
|
vbr4 value. The first set of four bits indicates the value 3 (011) with a
|
|
continuation piece (indicated by a high bit of 1). The next word indicates a
|
|
value of 24 (011 << 3) with no continuation. The sum (3+24) yields the value
|
|
27.

A bitstream is a sequential series of <a href="#blocks">Blocks</a> and

<a href="#datarecord">Data Records</a>. Both of these start with an

abbreviation ID encoded as a fixed-bitwidth field. The width is specified by

the current block, as described below. The value of the abbreviation ID

specifies either a builtin ID (which have special meanings, defined below) or

one of the abbreviation IDs defined for the current block by the stream itself.

Blocks in a bitstream denote nested regions of the stream, and are identified by
|
|
a content-specific id number (for example, LLVM IR uses an ID of 12 to represent
|
|
function bodies). Block IDs 0-7 are reserved for <a href="#stdblocks">standard blocks</a>
|
|
whose meaning is defined by Bitcode; block IDs 8 and greater are
|
|
application specific. Nested blocks capture the hierarchical structure of the data
|
|
encoded in it, and various properties are associated with blocks as the file is
|
|
parsed. Block definitions allow the reader to efficiently skip blocks
|
|
in constant time if the reader wants a summary of blocks, or if it wants to
|
|
efficiently skip data it does not understand. The LLVM IR reader uses this
|
|
mechanism to skip function bodies, lazily reading them on demand.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
When reading and encoding the stream, several properties are maintained for the
|
|
block. In particular, each block maintains:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>A current abbrev id width. This value starts at 2 at the beginning of
|
|
the stream, and is set every time a
|
|
block record is entered. The block entry specifies the abbrev id width for
|
|
the body of the block.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>A set of abbreviations. Abbreviations may be defined within a block, in
|
|
which case they are only defined in that block (neither subblocks nor
|
|
enclosing blocks see the abbreviation). Abbreviations can also be defined
|
|
inside a <tt><a href="#BLOCKINFO">BLOCKINFO</a></tt> block, in which case
|
|
they are defined in all blocks that match the ID that the BLOCKINFO block is
|
|
describing.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
As sub blocks are entered, these properties are saved and the new sub-block has
|
|
its own set of abbreviations, and its own abbrev id width. When a sub-block is
|
|
popped, the saved values are restored.

Data records consist of a record code and a number of (up to) 64-bit
|
|
integer values. The interpretation of the code and values is
|
|
application specific and may vary between different block types.
|
|
Records can be encoded either using an unabbrev record, or with an
|
|
abbreviation. In the LLVM IR format, for example, there is a record
|
|
which encodes the target triple of a module. The code is
|
|
<tt>MODULE_CODE_TRIPLE</tt>, and the values of the record are the
|

ASCII codes for the characters in the string.

An <tt>UNABBREV_RECORD</tt> provides a default fallback encoding, which is both

completely general and extremely inefficient. It can describe an arbitrary

|
record by emitting the code and operands as VBRs.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
For example, emitting an LLVM IR target triple as an unabbreviated record
|
|
requires emitting the <tt>UNABBREV_RECORD</tt> abbrevid, a vbr6 for the
|
|
<tt>MODULE_CODE_TRIPLE</tt> code, a vbr6 for the length of the string, which is
|
|
equal to the number of operands, and a vbr6 for each character. Because there
|
|
are no letters with values less than 32, each letter would need to be emitted as
|
|
at least a two-part VBR, which means that each letter would require at least 12
|
|
bits. This is not an efficient encoding, but it is fully general.

An abbreviated record is a abbreviation id followed by a set of fields that are

encoded according to the <a href="#abbreviations">abbreviation definition</a>.
|
|
This allows records to be encoded significantly more densely than records
|
|
encoded with the <tt><a href="#UNABBREV_RECORD">UNABBREV_RECORD</a></tt> type,
|
|
and allows the abbreviation types to be specified in the stream itself, which

allows the files to be completely self describing. The actual encoding of

|
abbreviations is defined below.
|

</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The record code, which is the first field of an abbreviated record,

Abbreviations are an important form of compression for bitstreams. The idea is
|
|
to specify a dense encoding for a class of records once, then use that encoding
|
|
to emit many records. It takes space to emit the encoding into the file, but
|
|
the space is recouped (hopefully plus some) when the records that use it are
|
|
emitted.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Abbreviations can be determined dynamically per client, per file. Because the
|
|
abbreviations are stored in the bitstream itself, different streams of the same
|
|
format can contain different sets of abbreviations according to the needs
|
|
of the specific stream.
|
|
As a concrete example, LLVM IR files usually emit an abbreviation
|
|
for binary operators. If a specific LLVM module contained no or few binary
|
|
operators, the abbreviation does not need to be emitted.

An abbreviation definition consists of the <tt>DEFINE_ABBREV</tt> abbrevid

<li>Encoding info without data — <tt>[0<sub>1</sub>,
|
|
encoding<sub>3</sub>]</tt> — Operand encodings that do not have extra
|
|
data are just emitted as their code.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>Encoding info with data — <tt>[0<sub>1</sub>, encoding<sub>3</sub>,
|
|
value<sub>vbr5</sub>]</tt> — Operand encodings that do have extra data are
|
|
emitted as their code, followed by the extra data.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
|
|
<p>The possible operand encodings are:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Fixed (code 1): The field should be emitted as
|
|
a <a href="#fixedwidth">fixed-width value</a>, whose width is specified by
|
|
the operand's extra data.</li>
|
|
<li>VBR (code 2): The field should be emitted as
|
|
a <a href="#variablewidth">variable-width value</a>, whose width is
|
|
specified by the operand's extra data.</li>
|
|
<li>Array (code 3): This field is an array of values. The array operand
|
|
has no extra data, but expects another operand to follow it, indicating
|
|
the element type of the array. When reading an array in an abbreviated
|
|
record, the first integer is a vbr6 that indicates the array length,
|
|
followed by the encoded elements of the array. An array may only occur as
|
|
the last operand of an abbreviation (except for the one final operand that
|
|
gives the array's type).</li>
|
|
<li>Char6 (code 4): This field should be emitted as
|
|
a <a href="#char6">char6-encoded value</a>. This operand type takes no
|
|
extra data. Char6 encoding is normally used as an array element type.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>Blob (code 5): This field is emitted as a vbr6, followed by padding to a
|
|
32-bit boundary (for alignment) and an array of 8-bit objects. The array of
|
|
bytes is further followed by tail padding to ensure that its total length is
|
|
a multiple of 4 bytes. This makes it very efficient for the reader to
|
|
decode the data without having to make a copy of it: it can use a pointer to
|
|
the data in the mapped in file and poke directly at it. A blob may only
|
|
occur as the last operand of an abbreviation.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
For example, target triples in LLVM modules are encoded as a record of the
|
|
form <tt>[TRIPLE, 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd']</tt>. Consider if the bitstream emitted
|
|
the following abbrev entry:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<div class="doc_code">
|
|
<pre>
|
|
[0, Fixed, 4]
|
|
[0, Array]
|
|
[0, Char6]
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
When emitting a record with this abbreviation, the above entry would be emitted
|
|
as:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<div class="doc_code">
|
|
<p>
|
|
<tt>[4<sub>abbrevwidth</sub>, 2<sub>4</sub>, 4<sub>vbr6</sub>, 0<sub>6</sub>,
|
|
1<sub>6</sub>, 2<sub>6</sub>, 3<sub>6</sub>]</tt>
|
|
</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<p>These values are:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>The first value, 4, is the abbreviation ID for this abbreviation.</li>
|
|
<li>The second value, 2, is the record code for <tt>TRIPLE</tt> records within LLVM IR file <tt>MODULE_BLOCK</tt> blocks.</li>
|
|
<li>The third value, 4, is the length of the array.</li>
|
|
<li>The rest of the values are the char6 encoded values
|
|
for <tt>"abcd"</tt>.</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
With this abbreviation, the triple is emitted with only 37 bits (assuming a
|
|
abbrev id width of 3). Without the abbreviation, significantly more space would
|
|
be required to emit the target triple. Also, because the <tt>TRIPLE</tt> value
|
|
is not emitted as a literal in the abbreviation, the abbreviation can also be
|
|
used for any other string value.

Standard <tt>DEFINE_ABBREV</tt> records can occur inside <tt>BLOCKINFO</tt>

<p>The <tt>SETRECORDNAME</tt> record (code 3) can also optionally occur in this block. The

Note that although the data in <tt>BLOCKINFO</tt> blocks is described as

field is the offset in bytes to the start of the bitcode stream in the file, and

the Size field is the size in bytes of the stream. CPUType is a target-specific

LLVM IR is encoded into a bitstream by defining blocks and records. It uses

blocks for things like constant pools, functions, symbol tables, etc. It uses

<a href="#variablewidth">Variable Width Integer</a> encoding is an efficient way to

encode arbitrary sized unsigned values, but is an extremely inefficient for

encoding signed values, as signed values are otherwise treated as maximally large

unsigned values.

As such, signed VBR values of a specific width are emitted as follows:

<li>Positive values are emitted as VBRs of the specified width, but with their
