[RemoveDIs] C API: Add before-dbg-record versions of IRBuilder position funcs (#92417) Add `LLVMPositionBuilderBeforeDbgRecords` and `LLVMPositionBuilderBeforeInstrAndDbgRecords` to `llvm/include/llvm-c/Core.h` which behave the same as `LLVMPositionBuilder` and `LVMPositionBuilderBefore` except that the position is set before debug records attached to the target instruction (the existing functions set the insertion point to after any attached debug records). More info on debug records and the migration towards using them can be found here: https://llvm.org/docs/RemoveDIsDebugInfo.html The distinction is important in some situations. An important example is when inserting a phi before another instruction which has debug records attached to it (these come "before" the instruction). Inserting before the instruction but after the debug records would result in having debug records before a phi, which is illegal. That results in an assertion failure: `llvm/lib/IR/Instruction.cpp:166: Assertion '!isa<PHINode>(this) && "Inserting PHI after debug-records!"' failed.` In llvm (C++) we've added bit to instruction iterators that carries around the extra information. Adding dedicated functions seemed like the least invasive and least suprising way to update the C API. Update llvm/tools/llvm-c-test/debuginfo.c to test this functionality. Update the OCaml bindings, the migration docs and release notes.
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.
