Semantics is not preventing a named common block to appear with different size in a same file (named common block should always have the same storage size (see Fortran 2018 8.10.2.5), but it is a common extension to accept different sizes). Lowering was not coping with this well, since it just use the first common block appearance, starting with BLOCK DATAs to define common blocks (this also was an issue with the blank common block, which can legally appear with different size in different scoping units). Semantics is also not preventing named common from being initialized outside of a BLOCK DATA, and lowering was dealing badly with this, since it only gave an initial value to common blocks Globals if the first common block appearance, starting with BLOCK DATAs had an initial value. Semantics is also allowing blank common to be initialized, while lowering was assuming this would never happen, and was never creating an initial value for it. Lastly, semantics was not complaining if a COMMON block was initialized in several scoping unit in a same file, while lowering can only generate one of these initial value. To fix this, add a structure to keep track of COMMON block properties (biggest size, and initial value if any) at the Program level. Once the size of a common block appearance is know, the common block appearance is checked against this information. It allows semantics to emit an error in case of multiple initialization in different scopes of a same common block, and to warn in case named common blocks appears with different sizes. Lastly, this allows lowering to use the Program level info about common blocks to emit the right GlobalOp for a Common Block, regardless of the COMMON Block appearances order: It emits a GlobalOp with the biggest size, whose lowest bytes are initialized with the initial value if any is given in a scope where the common block appears. Lowering is updated to go emit the common blocks before anything else so that the related GlobalOps are available when lowering the scopes where common block appear. It is also updated to not assume that blank common are never initialized. Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D124622
The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure
This directory and its sub-directories contain the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.
The README briefly describes how to get started with building LLVM. For more information on how to contribute to the LLVM project, please take a look at the Contributing to LLVM guide.
Getting Started with the LLVM System
Taken from here.
Overview
Welcome to the LLVM project!
The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called "LLVM". This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer. It also contains basic regression tests.
C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.
Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
Getting the Source Code and Building LLVM
The LLVM Getting Started documentation may be out of date. The Clang Getting Started page might have more accurate information.
This is an example work-flow and configuration to get and build the LLVM source:
-
Checkout LLVM (including related sub-projects like Clang):
-
git clone https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project.git
-
Or, on windows,
git clone --config core.autocrlf=false https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project.git
-
-
Configure and build LLVM and Clang:
-
cd llvm-project
-
cmake -S llvm -B build -G <generator> [options]
Some common build system generators are:
Ninja
--- for generating Ninja build files. Most llvm developers use Ninja.Unix Makefiles
--- for generating make-compatible parallel makefiles.Visual Studio
--- for generating Visual Studio projects and solutions.Xcode
--- for generating Xcode projects.
Some common options:
-
-DLLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS='...'
and-DLLVM_ENABLE_RUNTIMES='...'
--- semicolon-separated list of the LLVM sub-projects and runtimes you'd like to additionally build.LLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS
can include any of: clang, clang-tools-extra, cross-project-tests, flang, libc, libclc, lld, lldb, mlir, openmp, polly, or pstl.LLVM_ENABLE_RUNTIMES
can include any of libcxx, libcxxabi, libunwind, compiler-rt, libc or openmp. Some runtime projects can be specified either inLLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS
or inLLVM_ENABLE_RUNTIMES
.For example, to build LLVM, Clang, libcxx, and libcxxabi, use
-DLLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS="clang" -DLLVM_ENABLE_RUNTIMES="libcxx;libcxxabi"
. -
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=directory
--- Specify for directory the full path name of where you want the LLVM tools and libraries to be installed (default/usr/local
). Be careful if you install runtime libraries: if your system uses those provided by LLVM (like libc++ or libc++abi), you must not overwrite your system's copy of those libraries, since that could render your system unusable. In general, using something like/usr
is not advised, but/usr/local
is fine. -
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=type
--- Valid options for type are Debug, Release, RelWithDebInfo, and MinSizeRel. Default is Debug. -
-DLLVM_ENABLE_ASSERTIONS=On
--- Compile with assertion checks enabled (default is Yes for Debug builds, No for all other build types).
-
cmake --build build [-- [options] <target>]
or your build system specified above directly.-
The default target (i.e.
ninja
ormake
) will build all of LLVM. -
The
check-all
target (i.e.ninja check-all
) will run the regression tests to ensure everything is in working order. -
CMake will generate targets for each tool and library, and most LLVM sub-projects generate their own
check-<project>
target. -
Running a serial build will be slow. To improve speed, try running a parallel build. That's done by default in Ninja; for
make
, use the option-j NNN
, whereNNN
is the number of parallel jobs to run. In most cases, you get the best performance if you specify the number of CPU threads you have. On some Unix systems, you can specify this with-j$(nproc)
.
