[APInt] Add default-disabled assertion to APInt constructor (#106524) If the uint64_t constructor is used, assert that the value is actually a signed or unsigned N-bit integer depending on whether the isSigned flag is set. Provide an implicitTrunc flag to restore the previous behavior, where the argument is silently truncated instead. In this commit, implicitTrunc is enabled by default, which means that the new assertions are disabled and no actual change in behavior occurs. The plan is to flip the default once all places violating the assertion have been fixed. See #80309 for the scope of the necessary changes. The primary motivation for this change is to avoid incorrectly specified isSigned flags. A recurring problem we have is that people write something like `APInt(BW, -1)` and this works perfectly fine -- until the code path is hit with `BW > 64`. Most of our i128 specific miscompilations are caused by variants of this issue. The cost of the change is that we have to specify the correct isSigned flag (and make sure there are no excess bits) for uses where BW is always <= 64 as well.
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.
