CodeGen: Remove MachineFunction argument from getPointerRegClass (#158185) getPointerRegClass is a layering violation. Its primary purpose is to determine how to interpret an MCInstrDesc's operands RegClass fields. This should be context free, and only depend on the subtarget. The model of this is also wrong, since this should be an instruction / operand specific property, not a global pointer class. Remove the the function argument to help stage removal of this hook and avoid introducing any new obstacles to replacing it. The remaining uses of the function were to get the subtarget, which TargetRegisterInfo already belongs to. A few targets needed new subtarget derived properties copied there.
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.
Consult the Getting Started with LLVM page for information on building and running LLVM.
