[clang][CodeGen] `sret` args should always point to the `alloca` AS, so use that (#114062) `sret` arguments are always going to reside in the stack/`alloca` address space, which makes the current formulation where their AS is derived from the pointee somewhat quaint. This patch ensures that `sret` ends up pointing to the `alloca` AS in IR function signatures, and also guards agains trying to pass a casted `alloca`d pointer to a `sret` arg, which can happen for most languages, when compiled for targets that have a non-zero `alloca` AS (e.g. AMDGCN) / map `LangAS::default` to a non-zero value (SPIR-V). A target could still choose to do something different here, by e.g. overriding `classifyReturnType` behaviour. In a broader sense, this patch extends non-aliased indirect args to also carry an AS, which leads to changing the `getIndirect()` interface. At the moment we're only using this for (indirect) returns, but it allows for future handling of indirect args themselves. We default to using the AllocaAS as that matches what Clang is currently doing, however if, in the future, a target would opt for e.g. placing indirect returns in some other storage, with another AS, this will require revisiting. --------- Co-authored-by: Matt Arsenault <arsenm2@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Matt Arsenault <Matthew.Arsenault@amd.com>
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.
