2009-07-08Remove the vicmp and vfcmp instructions. Because we never had a release withNick Lewycky
these instructions, no autoupgrade or backwards compatibility support is provided. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@74991 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
2009-06-20Clarify that if the alignment is zero then an alignmentDuncan Sands
compatible with the type will be used (at least the ABI alignment). git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@73827 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
2009-06-16Remove the "llvm.umul.with.overflow is broken" warning; it should be Eli Friedman
essentially working now, at least for common cases, and it shouldn't silently generate bad code. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@73484 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

2009-06-04Split the Add, Sub, and Mul instruction opcodes into separateDan Gohman
integer and floating-point opcodes, introducing FAdd, FSub, and FMul. For now, the AsmParser, BitcodeReader, and IRBuilder all preserve backwards compatability, and the Core LLVM APIs preserve backwards compatibility for IR producers. Most front-ends won't need to change immediately. This implements the first step of the plan outlined here: http://nondot.org/sabre/LLVMNotes/IntegerOverflow.txt git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@72897 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

2009-05-06Allow readonly functions to unwind exceptions. TeachDuncan Sands
the optimizers about this. For example, a readonly function with no uses cannot be removed unless it is also marked nounwind. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@71071 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

2009-04-13Add a new "available_externally" linkage type. This is intendedChris Lattner
to support C99 inline, GNU extern inline, etc. Related bugzilla's include PR3517, PR3100, & PR2933. Nothing uses this yet, but it appears to work. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@68940 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
2009-04-04Add support for embedded metadata to LLVM. This introduces two new types ofNick Lewycky
Constant, MDString and MDNode which can only be used by globals with a name that starts with "llvm." or as arguments to a function with the same naming restriction. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@68420 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

2009-03-11It makes no sense to have a ODR version of commonDuncan Sands
linkage, so remove it. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@66690 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
2009-03-11Remove the one-definition-rule version of extern_weakDuncan Sands
linkage: this linkage type only applies to declarations, but ODR is only relevant to globals with definitions. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@66650 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
2009-03-09Clarify wording, patch by Stefanus Du Toit!Chris Lattner
git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@66458 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
2009-03-07Introduce new linkage types linkonce_odr, weak_odr, common_odrDuncan Sands
and extern_weak_odr. These are the same as the non-odr versions, except that they indicate that the global will only be overridden by an *equivalent* global. In C, a function with weak linkage can be overridden by a function which behaves completely differently. This means that IP passes have to skip weak functions, since any deductions made from the function definition might be wrong, since the definition could be replaced by something completely different at link time. This is not allowed in C++, thanks to the ODR (One-Definition-Rule): if a function is replaced by another at link-time, then the new function must be the same as the original function. If a language knows that a function or other global can only be overridden by an equivalent global, it can give it the weak_odr linkage type, and the optimizers will understand that it is alright to make deductions based on the function body. The code generators on the other hand map weak and weak_odr linkage to the same thing. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@66339 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
