When used, these targets end up with calls to undefined functions for all
of the various special vector stuff ispc needs to compile ispc programs
(masked store, gather, min/max, sqrt, etc.).
These targets are not yet useful for anything, but are a step toward
having an option to C++ code with calls out to intrinsics.
Reorganized the directory structure a bit and put the LLVM bitcode used
to define target-specific stuff (as well as some generic built-ins stuff)
into a builtins/ directory.
Note that for building on Windows, it's now necessary to set a LLVM_VERSION
environment variable (with values like LLVM_2_9, LLVM_3_0, LLVM_3_1svn, etc.)
Added AST and Function classes.
Now, we parse the whole file and build up the AST for all of the
functions in the Module before we emit IR for the functions (vs. before,
when we generated IR along the way as we parsed the source file.)
If a flag along the lines of "--target=sse4,avx-x2" is provided on the command-line,
then the program will be compiled for each of the given targets, with a separate
output file generated for each one. Further, an output file with dispatch functions
that check the current system's CPU and then chooses the best available variant
is also created.
Issue #11.
Set the Module's target appropriately when it's first created.
Compile separate 32 and 64 bit versions of the builtins-c bitcocde
and load the appropriate one based on the target we're compiling
for.
- Renamed stdlib-sse.ll to builtins-sse.ll (etc.) in an attempt to better indicate
the fact that the stuff in those files has a role beyond implementing stuff for
the standard library.
- Moved declarations of the various __pseudo_* functions from being done with LLVM
API calls in builtins.cpp to just straight up declarations in LLVM assembly
language in builtins.m4. (Much less code to do it this way, and more clear what's
going on.)
This checkin provides the standard set of atomic operations and a memory barrier in the ispc standard library. Both signed and unsigned 32- and 64-bit integer types are supported.
Link the appropriate clang libraries to make the preprocessor
stuff work on Windows builds. Also updated the solution files
for the examples to stop using cl.exe for preprocessing but to
just call ispc directly. Finishes fixes for issue #32.
