[CIR] Implement 'allocsize' function/call attribute lowering (#179342)
The alloc_size attribute takes the argument number(normalized to the
index!) of the element size and count, for things like 'malloc' or
'calloc'.
This ends up being slightly more complicated than others, as this has
data that we have to decide on a format for. LLVM chooses to pack both
of these 32 bit values into a single i64, but unpacks it for the purpose
of input/output. The second value, the number of elements, is optional.
This patch uses a DenseI32ArrayAttr to store them for the LLVMIR
dialect, which gets us the packed nature, but doesn't require us doing
any work to unpack it.
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.
