[flang][debug] Add support for common blocks. (#112398)
This PR adds debug support for common block in flang. As variable which
are part of a common block don't have a special marker to recognize
them, we use the following check to find them.
%0 = fir.address_of(@a)
%1 = fir.convert %0
%2 = fir.coordinate_of %1, %c0
%3 = fir.convert %2
%4 = fircg.ext_declare %3
If the memref of a fircg.ext_declare points to a fir.coordinate_of and
that in turn points to an fir.address_of (ignoring immediate
fir.convert) then we assume that it is a common block variable. The
fir.address_of gives us the global symbol which is the storage for
common block and fir.coordinate_of provides the offset in this storage.
The debug hierarchy looks like as
subroutine f3
integer :: x, y
common /a/ x, y
end subroutine
@a_ = global { ... } { ... }, !dbg !26, !dbg !28
!23 = !DISubprogram(name: "f3"...)
!24 = !DICommonBlock(scope: !23, name: "a", ...)
!25 = !DIGlobalVariable(name: "x", scope: !24 ...)
!26 = !DIGlobalVariableExpression(var: !25, expr: !DIExpression())
!27 = !DIGlobalVariable(name: "y", scope: !24 ...)
!28 = !DIGlobalVariableExpression(var: !27, expr:
!DIExpression(DW_OP_plus_uconst, 4))
This required following changes:
1. Instead of using DIGlobalVariableAttr in the FusedLoc of GlobalOp, we
use DIGlobalVariableExpressionAttr. This allows us the generate the
DIExpression where we have the information.
2. Previously, only one DIGlobalVariableExpressionAttr could be linked
to one global op. I recently removed this restriction in mlir. To make
use of it, we add an ArrayAttr to the FusedLoc of a GlobalOp. This
allows us to pass multiple DIGlobalVariableExpressionAttr.
3. I was depending on the name of global for the name of the common
block. The name gets a '_' appended. I could not find a utility function
in flang to remove it so I have to brute force 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.
