Enable ClangIR generation for very simple functions. The functions have to return `void` or an integral type, contain only compound statements or `return` statements, and `return` statement expressions can only be integral literals of the correct type. The functions can have parameters, but those are currently ignored because there is no way to access them. This change intentionally focuses on breadth (introducing scopes, statements, and expressions) rather than depth, because it enables people to work on upstreaming in parallel without interference. The new ClangIR ops in this change are `ReturnOp`, `YieldOp`, `ScopeOp`, and `TrapOp`. These operations are complete (except for the `ParentOneOf` property) and shouldn't require further upstreaming changes. Significant additions were made to `FuncOp`, adding a type and a region, but that operation is still far from complete. The classes `ScalarExprEmitter` and `CIRGenFunction`, along with the `emit*` functions in `CIRGenFunction` that generate ClangIR for statements, are new in this change. All of these are very incomplete and will be filled out in later upstreaming patches. Existing test `hello.c` is removed and replaced by the new test `func-simple.cpp`. This tests all forms of functions that are currently supported.
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.
