The pseudo-instruction LCMPXCHG16B_SAVE_RBX is used when RBX serves as frame base pointer. At a very late stage it is then translated into a regular LCMPXCHG16B, preceded by copying the actual argument into RBX, and followed by restoring the register to the base pointer. However, in case the `cmpxchg` operates on a local variable, RBX might also be used as a base for the memory operand in frame finalization, and we've overwritten RBX with the input operand for `cmpxchg16b`. So we have to rewrite the memory operand base to use the saved value of RBX. Fixes #119959.
The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure
Welcome to the LLVM project!
This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.
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.
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.
