[flang] add internal_assoc flag to mark variable captured in internal procedure (#117161) This patch adds a flag to mark hlfir.declare of host variables that are captured in some internal procedure. It enables implementing a simple fir.call handling in fir::AliasAnalysis::getModRef leveraging Fortran language specifications and without a data flow analysis. This will allow implementing an optimization for "array = array_function()" where array storage is passed directly into the hidden result argument to "array_function" when it can be proven that arraY_function does not reference "array". Captured host variables are very tricky because they may be accessed indirectly in any calls if the internal procedure address was captured via some global procedure pointer. Without flagging them, there is no way around doing a complex inter procedural data flow analysis: - checking that the call is not made to an internal procedure is not enough because of the possibility of indirect calls made to internal procedures inside the callee. - checking that the current func.func has no internal procedure is not enough because this would be invalid with inlining when an procedure with internal procedures is inlined inside a procedure without internal procedure.
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.
