This commit is a broad update across libclc to use the CLC conversion builtins in CLC functions, even those with a '__clc' prefix in the generic folder. This better prepares them for an official move to the CLC library in time. The CLC conversion builtins have an additional benefit in that they support scalars, unlike the __builtin_convertvector builtin which we were using previously. This allows us to simplify some shared definitions. There is one change to the IR, in the scalar upsample(char, uchar) builtin. It now sign-extends the first argument to i16, where before it zero-extended it. This appears to be correct, and matches the vector behaviour.
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.
