[MC] Compute fragment offsets eagerly
This builds on top of commit 9d0754ada5dbbc0c009bcc2f7824488419cc5530
("[MC] Relax fragments eagerly") and relaxes fragments eagerly to
eliminate MCSection::HasLayout and `getFragmentOffset` overhead. The
approach is slightly different from
1a47f3f3db66589c11f8ddacfeaecc03fb80c510 and has less performance
benefit.
The new layout algorithm also addresses the following problems:
* Size change of MCFillFragment/MCOrgFragment did not influence the
fixed-point iteration, which could be problematic for contrived cases.
* The `invalid number of bytes` error was reported too early. Since
`.zero A-B` might have temporary negative values in the first few
iterations.
* X86AsmBackend::finishLayout performed only one iteration, which might
not converge. In addition, the removed `#ifndef NDEBUG` code (disabled
by default) in X86AsmBackend::finishLayout was problematic, as !NDEBUG
and NDEBUG builds evaluated fragment offsets at different times before
this patch.
* The computed layout for relax-recompute-align.s is optimal now.
Builds with many text sections (e.g. full LTO) shall observe a decrease
in compile time while the new algorithm could be slightly slower for
some -O0 -g projects.
Aligned bundling from the deprecated PNaCl placed constraints how we can
perform iteration.
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.
For information on how to contribute to the LLVM project, please take a look at the Contributing to LLVM guide.
Join the LLVM Discourse forums, Discord chat, LLVM Office Hours or Regular sync-ups.
The LLVM project has adopted a code of conduct for participants to all modes of communication within the project.
