2013-02-22Made it more explicit that the self-referential llvm.loop identifier metadata Pekka Jaaskelainen
should be unique for each loop. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@175888 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
2013-02-22Implement the NoBuiltin attribute.Bill Wendling
The 'nobuiltin' attribute is applied to call sites to indicate that LLVM should not treat the callee function as a built-in function. I.e., it shouldn't try to replace that function with different code. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@175835 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
2013-02-21add missing space which prevented the llvm.loop code-block from appearing in thePaul Redmond
generated html. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@175769 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
2013-02-13Metadata for annotating loops as parallel. The first consumer for this Pekka Jaaskelainen
metadata is the loop vectorizer. See the documentation update for more info. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@175060 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@174864 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
2013-02-06Initial submission for the attribute group feature.Bill Wendling
Attribute groups are of the form: #0 = attributes { noinline "no-sse" "cpu"="cortex-a8" alignstack=4 } Target-dependent attributes are represented as strings. Attributes can have optional values associated with them. E.g., the "cpu" attribute has the value "cortex-a8". Target-independent attributes are listed as enums inside the attribute classes. Multiple attribute groups can be referenced by the same object. In that case, the attributes are merged together. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@174493 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
2013-02-06Alphabetize the function attributes.Bill Wendling
git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@174490 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
2013-02-04Removed reference to LLVM as a project (since in LangRef it is used solely ↵Michael Gottesman
as a reference to the IR). Thanks silvas! git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@174301 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
2013-02-03Added new Global Variable marker ``externally_initialized'' to LangRef.Michael Gottesman
git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@174270 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
2013-02-03Added clarification paragraph to LangRef's documentation ofMichael Gottesman
GlobalVariable about LLVM's assumptions vis-a-vis Global Variable initial values and Global Variable initializers. This is in preparation for adding the new keyword externally_initialized. Specifically, the patch explains how LLVM optimizes global initializers by assumign that global variables defined within the module are not modified from their initial values before the start of the global initializer. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@174269 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
2013-01-31Fixed a mistake in my previous commit where I changed the wording slightly ↵Michael Gottesman
and forgot to undo the change after changing my mind and deciding to only commit the style changes. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@174041 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
2013-01-31Formatting Fix. Changed " to `` around the word 'constant' in the Lang RefMichael Gottesman
section Global Variable so that the style matches the other keywords in said section. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@174040 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
2013-01-31LangRef: Add a Rationale for volatile rules.Andrew Trick
git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@174007 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
2013-01-30...in light of recent activity related to llvm.memcpy flags. I want toAndrew Trick
prevent an llvm developer from mistakenly thinking that just because the intrinsic has volatile flags that volatile operations can be converted to or folded into them. Platforms may rely on volatile loads and stores of natively supported data width to be executed as single instruction. When compiling C, this expectation likely holds for l-values of volatile primitive types with native hardware support, but not necessarily for aggregate types. The frontend upholds these expectations, which are not specified in the IR. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@173974 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

2013-01-23Add the heuristic to differentiate SSPStrong from SSPRequired.Bill Wendling
The requirements of the strong heuristic are: * A Protector is required for functions which contain an array, regardless of type or length. * A Protector is required for functions which contain a structure/union which contains an array, regardless of type or length. Note, there is no limit to the depth of nesting. * A protector is required when the address of a local variable (i.e., stack based variable) is exposed. (E.g., such as through a local whose address is taken as part of the RHS of an assignment or a local whose address is taken as part of a function argument.) git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@173231 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
2013-01-23Add the IR attribute 'sspstrong'.Bill Wendling
SSPStrong applies a heuristic to insert stack protectors in these situations: * A Protector is required for functions which contain an array, regardless of type or length. * A Protector is required for functions which contain a structure/union which contains an array, regardless of type or length. Note, there is no limit to the depth of nesting. * A protector is required when the address of a local variable (i.e., stack based variable) is exposed. (E.g., such as through a local whose address is taken as part of the RHS of an assignment or a local whose address is taken as part of a function argument.) This patch implements the SSPString attribute to be equivalent to SSPRequired. This will change in a subsequent patch. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@173230 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

2013-01-17Update the description of the llvm.fmuladd.* intrinsics to avoid use of theLang Hames
ambiguous term 'legal'. Suggested by Andrew Booker. Thanks Andrew! git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@172680 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

- Also, update the LangRef documentation on module flags to match the implementation. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@172498 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
2012-12-20Add a new attribute, 'noduplicate'. If a function contains a noduplicate ↵James Molloy
call, the call cannot be duplicated - Jump threading, loop unrolling, loop unswitching, and loop rotation are inhibited if they would duplicate the call. Similarly inlining of the function is inhibited, if that would duplicate the call (in particular inlining is still allowed when there is only one callsite and the function has internal linkage). git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@170704 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
2012-12-09So many people have touched this, it doesn't make sense to ascribe ↵Chris Lattner
authorship anymore. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@169704 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
2012-12-07docs: Convert LangRef to reST.Sean Silva
NOTE: If you have any patches in the works that modify LangRef, you will need to rewrite the changes to LangRef.html to their equivalents in LangRef.rst. If you need assistance feel free to contact me. Since LangRef is mission-critical for the project and "normative", I have taken extra care to ensure that no content was lost or altered in the conversion. The content was converted with a tool called `pandoc`, so there is no chance for a human error like accidentally forgetting a sentence or whatever. After the initial conversion by `pandoc`, only changes to the markup were done. This is just the most literal conversion of the HTML document as possible. It might be worth exploring some way to chop up this massive document into separate pages, e.g. something like `docs/LangRef/Instructions.rst`, `docs/LangRef/Intrinsics.rst`, etc. with `docs/LangRef.rst` being an "intro/navigation page" of sorts. On the other hand, that loses the ability to {Ctrl,Cmd}-F for a given term right from your browser. IMO, I think our stylesheet needs some work because I find it hard to tell what level of nesting some of the headings are at (e.g. "is this a new section or is it a subsection?"). The issue is present on other pages, but the sheer size and deep section structure of LangRef really brings this issue out. If there are any web designers out there in the community it would be awesome if you tried to come up with something nicer. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@169596 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
