From 1afcace3a3a138b1b18e5c6270caa8dae2261ae2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chris Lattner Date: Sat, 9 Jul 2011 17:41:24 +0000 Subject: Land the long talked about "type system rewrite" patch. This 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 --- lib/Bitcode/Reader/BitcodeReader.h | 10 +++++++--- 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) (limited to 'lib/Bitcode/Reader/BitcodeReader.h') diff --git a/lib/Bitcode/Reader/BitcodeReader.h b/lib/Bitcode/Reader/BitcodeReader.h index 14033b095c..1b3bf1a185 100644 --- a/lib/Bitcode/Reader/BitcodeReader.h +++ b/lib/Bitcode/Reader/BitcodeReader.h @@ -131,7 +131,7 @@ class BitcodeReader : public GVMaterializer { const char *ErrorString; - std::vector TypeList; + std::vector TypeList; BitcodeReaderValueList ValueList; BitcodeReaderMDValueList MDValueList; SmallVector InstructionList; @@ -210,7 +210,8 @@ public: /// @returns true if an error occurred. bool ParseTriple(std::string &Triple); private: - const Type *getTypeByID(unsigned ID, bool isTypeTable = false); + Type *getTypeByID(unsigned ID); + Type *getTypeByIDOrNull(unsigned ID); Value *getFnValueByID(unsigned ID, const Type *Ty) { if (Ty && Ty->isMetadataTy()) return MDValueList.getValueFwdRef(ID); @@ -258,7 +259,10 @@ private: bool ParseModule(); bool ParseAttributeBlock(); bool ParseTypeTable(); - bool ParseTypeSymbolTable(); + bool ParseOldTypeTable(); // FIXME: Remove in LLVM 3.1 + bool ParseTypeTableBody(); + + bool ParseOldTypeSymbolTable(); // FIXME: Remove in LLVM 3.1 bool ParseValueSymbolTable(); bool ParseConstants(); bool RememberAndSkipFunctionBody(); -- cgit v1.2.3-18-g5258
