TableGen: Emit statically generated hash table for runtime libcalls (#150192) a96121089b9c94e08c6632f91f2dffc73c0ffa28 reverted a change to use a binary search on the string name table because it was too slow. This replaces it with a static string hash table based on the known set of libcall names. Microbenchmarking shows this is similarly fast to using DenseMap. It's possibly slightly slower than using StringSet, though these aren't an exact comparison. This also saves on the one time use construction of the map, so it could be better in practice. This search isn't simple set check, since it does find the range of possible matches with the same name. There's also an additional check for whether the current target supports the name. The runtime constructed set doesn't require this, since it only adds the symbols live for the target. Followed algorithm from this post http://0x80.pl/notesen/2023-04-30-lookup-in-strings.html I'm also thinking the 2 special case global symbols should just be added to RuntimeLibcalls. There are also other global references emitted in the backend that aren't tracked; we probably should just use this as a centralized database for all compiler selected symbols.
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.
