2011-08-12Move "atomic" and "volatile" designations on instructions after the opcodeEli Friedman
of the instruction. Note that this change affects the existing non-atomic load and store instructions; the parser now accepts both forms, and the change is noted in the release notes. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@137527 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
2011-08-12Initial commit of the 'landingpad' instruction.Bill Wendling
This implements the 'landingpad' instruction. It's used to indicate that a basic block is a landing pad. There are several restrictions on its use (see LangRef.html for more detail). These restrictions allow the exception handling code to gather the information it needs in a much more sane way. This patch has the definition, implementation, C interface, parsing, and bitcode support in it. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@137501 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

This adds the 'resume' instruction class, IR parsing, and bitcode reading and writing.

2011-07-28LangRef and basic memory-representation/reading/writing for 'cmpxchg' andEli Friedman
'atomicrmw' instructions, which allow representing all the current atomic rmw intrinsics. The allowed operands for these instructions are heavily restricted at the moment; we can probably loosen it a bit, but supporting general first-class types (where it makes sense) might get a bit complicated, given how SelectionDAG works. As an initial cut, these operations do not support specifying an alignment, but it would be possible to add if we think it's useful. Specifying an alignment lower than the natural alignment would be essentially impossible to support on anything other than x86, but specifying a greater alignment would be possible. I can't think of any useful optimizations which would use that information, but maybe someone else has ideas. Optimizer/codegen support coming soon. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@136404 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

2011-07-09Land the long talked about "type system rewrite" patch. ThisChris Lattner
patch brings numerous advantages to LLVM. One way to look at it is through diffstat: 109 files changed, 3005 insertions(+), 5906 deletions(-) Removing almost 3K lines of code is a good thing. Other advantages include: 1. Value::getType() is a simple load that can be CSE'd, not a mutating union-find operation. 2. Types a uniqued and never move once created, defining away PATypeHolder. 3. Structs can be "named" now, and their name is part of the identity that uniques them. This means that the compiler doesn't merge them structurally which makes the IR much less confusing. 4. Now that there is no way to get a cycle in a type graph without a named struct type, "upreferences" go away. 5. Type refinement is completely gone, which should make LTO much MUCH faster in some common cases with C++ code. 6. Types are now generally immutable, so we can use "Type *" instead "const Type *" everywhere. Downsides of this patch are that it removes some functions from the C API, so people using those will have to upgrade to (not yet added) new API. "LLVM 3.0" is the right time to do this. There are still some cleanups pending after this, this patch is large enough as-is. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@134829 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

rather than an int. Thankfully, this only causes LLVM to miss optimizations, not generate incorrect code. This just fixes the zext at the return. We still insert an i32 ZextAssert when reading a function's arguments, but it is followed by a truncate and another i8 ZextAssert so it is not optimized. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@127766 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
