[SPIRV] Use AMDGPU ABI for AMDGCN flavoured SPIRV (#169865) At the moment AMDGCN flavoured SPIRV uses the SPIRV ABI with some tweaks revolving around passing aggregates as direct. This is problematic in multiple ways: - it leads to divergence from code compiled for a concrete target, which makes it difficult to debug; - it incurs a run time cost, when dealing with larger aggregates; - it incurs a compile time cost, when dealing with larger aggregates. This patch switches over AMDGCN flavoured SPIRV to implement the AMDGPU ABI (except for dealing with variadic functions, which will be added in the future). One additional complication (and the primary motivation behind the current less than ideal state of affairs) stems from `byref`, which AMDGPU uses, not being expressible in SPIR-V. We deal with this by CodeGen-ing for `byref`, lowering it to the `FuncParamAttr ByVal` in SPIR-V, and restoring it when doing reverse translation from AMDGCN flavoured SPIR-V.
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.
