[mlir][flang] Added Weighted[Region]BranchOpInterface's. (#142079) The new interfaces provide getters and setters for the weight information about the branches of BranchOpInterface and RegionBranchOpInterface operations. These interfaces are done the same way as LLVM dialect's BranchWeightOpInterface. The plan is to produce this information in Flang, e.g. mark most probably "cold" code as such and allow LLVM to order basic blocks accordingly. An example of such a code is copy loops generated for arrays repacking - we can mark it as "cold" assuming that the copy will not happen dynamically. If the copy actually happens the overhead of the copy is probably high enough so that we may not care about the little overhead of jumping to the "cold" code and fetching 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.
