The basic technical design here is that we have three levels
of readers and writers:
- At the lowest level, there's a `Basic{Reader,Writer}` that knows
how to emit the basic structures of the AST. CRTP allows this to
be metaprogrammed so that the client only needs to support a handful
of primitive types (e.g. `uint64_t` and `IdentifierInfo*`) and more
complicated "inline" structures such as `DeclarationName` can just
be emitted in terms of those primitives.
In Clang's binary-serialization code, these are
`ASTRecord{Reader,Writer}`. For now, a large number of basic
structures are still emitted explicitly by code on those classes
rather than by either TableGen or CRTP metaprogramming, but I
expect to move more of these over.
- In the middle, there's a `Property{Reader,Writer}` which is
responsible for processing the properties of a larger object. The
object-level reader/writer asks the property-level reader/writer to
project out a particular property, yielding a basic reader/writer
which will be used to read/write the property's value, like so:
```
propertyWriter.find("count").writeUInt32(node->getCount());
```
Clang's binary-serialization code ignores this level (it uses
the basic reader/writer as the property reader/writer and has the
projection methods just return `*this`) and simply relies on the
roperties being read/written in a stable order.
- At the highest level, there's an object reader/writer (e.g.
`Type{Reader,Writer}` which emits a logical object with properties.
Think of this as writing something like a JSON dictionary literal.
I haven't introduced support for bitcode abbreviations yet --- it
turns out that there aren't any operative abbreviations for types
besides the QualType one --- but I do have some ideas of how they
should work. At any rate, they'll be necessary in order to handle
statements.
I'm sorry for not disentangling the patches that added basic and type
reader/writers; I made some effort to, but I ran out of energy after
disentangling a number of other patches from the work.
Negligible impact on module size, time to build a set of about 20
fairly large modules, or time to read a few declarations out of them.
This reverts commit 3f76260dc0.
Breaks at least these tests on Windows:
Clang :: Driver/clang-offload-bundler.c
Clang :: Driver/clang-offload-wrapper.c
This commit sets up the infrastructure for auto-generating <arm_mve.h>
and doing clang-side code generation for the builtins it relies on,
and demonstrates that it works by implementing a representative sample
of the ACLE intrinsics, more or less matching the ones introduced in
LLVM IR by D67158,D68699,D68700.
Like NEON, that header file will provide a set of vector types like
uint16x8_t and C functions with names like vaddq_u32(). Unlike NEON,
the ACLE spec for <arm_mve.h> includes a polymorphism system, so that
you can write plain vaddq() and disambiguate by the vector types you
pass to it.
Unlike the corresponding NEON code, I've arranged to make every user-
facing ACLE intrinsic into a clang builtin, and implement all the code
generation inside clang. So <arm_mve.h> itself contains nothing but
typedefs and function declarations, with the latter all using the new
`__attribute__((__clang_builtin))` system to arrange that the user-
facing function names correspond to the right internal BuiltinIDs.
So the new MveEmitter tablegen system specifies the full sequence of
IRBuilder operations that each user-facing ACLE intrinsic should
translate into. Where possible, the ACLE intrinsics map to standard IR
operations such as vector-typed `add` and `fadd`; where no standard
representation exists, I call down to the sample IR intrinsics
introduced in an earlier commit.
Doing it like this means that you get the polymorphism for free just
by using __attribute__((overloadable)): the clang overload resolution
decides which function declaration is the relevant one, and _then_ its
BuiltinID is looked up, so by the time we're doing code generation,
that's all been resolved by the standard system. It also means that
you get really nice error messages if the user passes the wrong
combination of types: clang will show the declarations from the header
file and explain why each one doesn't match.
(The obvious alternative approach would be to have wrapper functions
in <arm_mve.h> which pass their arguments to the underlying builtins.
But that doesn't work in the case where one of the arguments has to be
a constant integer: the wrapper function can't pass the constantness
through. So you'd have to do that case using a macro instead, and then
use C11 `_Generic` to handle the polymorphism. Then you have to add
horrible workarounds because `_Generic` requires even the untaken
branches to type-check successfully, and //then// if the user gets the
types wrong, the error message is totally unreadable!)

The primary goal here is to make the type node hierarchy available to
other tblgen backends, although it should also make it easier to generate
more selective x-macros in the future.
Because tblgen doesn't seem to allow backends to preserve the source
order of defs, this is not NFC because it significantly re-orders IDs.
I've fixed the one (fortunately obvious) place where we relied on
the old order. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to share code with the
existing AST-node x-macro generators because the x-macro schema we use
for types is different in a number of ways. The main loss is that
subclasses aren't ordered together, which doesn't seem important for
types because the hierarchy is generally very shallow with little
clustering.

This patch adds a `-fdeclare-opencl-builtins` command line option to
the clang frontend. This enables clang to verify OpenCL C builtin
function declarations using a fast StringMatcher lookup, instead of
including the opencl-c.h file with the `-finclude-default-header`
option. This avoids the large parse time penalty of the header file.
This commit only adds the basic infrastructure and some of the OpenCL
builtins. It does not cover all builtins defined by the various OpenCL
specifications. As such, it is not a replacement for
`-finclude-default-header` yet.

to reflect the new license.
We understand that people may be surprised that we're moving the header
entirely to discuss the new license. We checked this carefully with the
Foundation's lawyer and we believe this is the correct approach.
Essentially, all code in the project is now made available by the LLVM
project under our new license, so you will see that the license headers
include that license only. Some of our contributors have contributed
code under our old license, and accordingly, we have retained a copy of
our old license notice in the top-level files in each project and
repository.

Currently, if clang-tblgen is run without a mode option, it defaults
to the first mode in its 'enum Action', which happens to be
-gen-clang-attr-classes. I think it makes more sense for it to behave
the same way as llvm-tblgen, i.e. print a diagnostic dump if it's not
given any more specific instructions.
I've also added the same -dump-json that llvm-tblgen supports. This
means any tblgen command line (whether llvm- or clang-) can be
mechanically turned into one that processes the same input into JSON.
