LowerTypeTests: Shrink check size by 1 instruction on x86.

We currently generate code like this on x86 for a jump table with 5 elements,
assuming the call target is in rbx:

lea global_addr(%rip), %rax # initialize temporary rax with base address
mov %rbx, %rcx              # initialize another temporary rcx for index (rbx will be used for the call, so it is still live)
sub %rax, %rcx              # compute `address - base`
ror $0x3, %rcx              # compute `(address - base) ror 3` i.e. index
cmp $0x4, %rcx              # check index <= 4
ja .Ltrap
[...]
.Ltrap:
ud1

A more efficient instruction sequence, that only needs one temporary
register and one fewer instruction, is possible by subtracting the
address we are testing from the fixed address instead of vice versa:

lea (global_addr + 4*8)(%rip), %rax # initialize temporary rax with address of last element
sub %rbx, %rax                      # compute `last element - address`
ror $0x3, %rax                      # compute `(last element - address) ror 3` i.e. 4 - index
cmp $0x4, %rax                      # check 4 - index <= 4 (same as above)
ja .Ltrap
[...]
.Ltrap:
ud1

Change LowerTypeTests to generate that sequence. As a consequence, the
order of bits in the bitsets is reversed. Because it doesn't matter how we
do the subtraction on other architectures (to the best of my knowledge),
do so unconditionally.

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure

OpenSSF Scorecard OpenSSF Best Practices libc++

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.

Getting the Source Code and Building LLVM

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.

Getting in touch

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.
