[LFI] Add MCLFIRewriter infrastructure (#172906) This is the second patch in the LFI series, adding the following features: * `MCLFIRewriter` class, which will be used to perform LFI rewrites on a per-architecture basis. Each architecture where LFI is supported will implement a subclass (for example, `Target/AArch64/MCTargetDesc/AArch64MCLFIRewriter.cpp`) that will implement the `rewriteInst` function to perform the actual rewriting (the AArch64 version will be added in the next PR). The generic rewriter class provides some instruction info utilities (`mayLoad`, `mayStore`) and is used to call `rewriteInst` during instruction emission. It also provides `onLabel` which allows the rewriter to know possible branch targets, making certain optimizations like guard elimination possible. * LFI streamer initialization that marks object files with a NOTE section to indicate that the object file is using LFI. * A basic LFI assembly parser that introduces the `.lfi_rewrite_disable` and `.lfi_rewrite_enable` directives that can be used to control whether rewriting is enabled or not in hand-written assembly.
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.
