[SPIRV] Add support for pointers to functions with aggregate args/returns as global variables / constant initialisers (#169595) This patch does two things: 1. it extends the aggregate arg / ret replacement transform to work on indirect calls / pointers to function. It is somewhat spread out as retrieving the original function type is needed in a few places. In general, we should rethink / rework the entire infrastructure around aggregate arg/ret handling, using an opaque target specific type rather than i32; 2. it enables global variables of pointer to function type, and, more specifically, global variables of a aggregate type (arrays / structures) with pointer to function elements. This also exposes some issues in how we handle pointers to function and lowering indirect function calls, primarily around not using the program address space. These will be handled in a subsequent patch as they'll require somewhat more intrusive surgery, possibly involving modifying the data layout.
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.
