[DirectX] Mark `dx.resource.getpointer` as convergent (#182099) By marking `dx.resource.getpointer` as convergent, we are able to prevent unwanted code transforms that make resource access look illegal. Namely, this prevents the creation of a ptr into a resource handle to be moved throughout control flow (eg in `SimplifyCFG`), further preventing sink/hoist optimizations on the returned ptr during `InstCombine`. Previously, these transforms were undone by the `phiNodeReplacement` function in `dxil-resource-access`. However, in general, we would like to follow a policy of preventing these transforms from occurring rather than having to undo the work. This change is aligned with this. This is a pre-requisite to resolving https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/165288.
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.

The LLVM project has adopted a code of conduct for participants to all modes of communication within the project.
