Control-Flow Integrity (CFI) replaces references to address-taken
functions with pointers to the CFI jump table. This is a problem
for low-level code, such as operating system kernels, which may
need the address of an actual function body without the jump table
indirection.
This change adds the __builtin_function_start() builtin, which
accepts an argument that can be constant-evaluated to a function,
and returns the address of the function body.

I found that the coroutine intrinsic llvm.coro.param in documentation

since there isn't lowering codes in LLVM. I also checked the

WG14 adopted the _ExtInt feature from Clang for C23, but renamed the
type to be _BitInt. This patch does the vast majority of the work to
rename _ExtInt to _BitInt, which accounts for most of its size. The new
type is exposed in older C modes and all C++ modes as a conforming
extension. However, there are functional changes worth calling out:
* Deprecates _ExtInt with a fix-it to help users migrate to _BitInt.
* Updates the mangling for the type.
* Updates the documentation and adds a release note to warn users what
is going on.
* Adds new diagnostics for use of _BitInt to call out when it's used as
a Clang extension or as a pre-C23 compatibility concern.
* Adds new tests for the new diagnostic behaviors.
I want to call out the ABI break specifically. We do not believe that
this break will cause a significant imposition for early adopters of
the feature, and so this is being done as a full break. If it turns out
there are critical uses where recompilation is not an option for some
reason, we can consider using ABI tags to ease the transition.
Operations are emulated by software emulation and “float” instructions.
This patch is allowing the support of _Float16 type without the use of
-max512fp16 flag. The final goal being, perform _Float16 emulation for
all arithmetic expressions.
There was some confusion during the discussion of a patch as to whether
`any` can be used to blast an attribute with no subject list onto
basically everything in a program by not specifying a subrule. This
patch adds documentation and tests to make it clear that this situation
is not supported and will be diagnosed.
Some time back I extended GCC's '# NNN' line marker semantics.
Specifically popping to a blank filename will restore the filename to
that of the popped-to include. Restore to line 5 of including file
(escaped BOL #'s to avoid git eliding them):
\# 5 "" 2
Added documentation for this line control extension.
This was useful in developing modules tests, but turned out to also be
useful with machine-generated source code. Specifically, a generated
include file that itself includes fragments from elsewhere. The
ability to pop to the generated include file -- with its full path
prefix -- is useful for diagnostic & debug purposes. For instance
something like:
// Machine generated -- DO NOT EDIT
Type Var = {
\# 7 "encoded.dsl" 1 // push to snippet-container
{snippet, of, code}
\# 6 " 2 // Restore to machined-generated source
,
};
// user-code
...
\#include "dsl.h"
...
That pop to "" will restore the filename to '..includepath../dsl.h',
which is better than restoring to plain "dsl.h".

The original version of this was reverted, and @rjmcall provided some
advice to architect a new solution. This is that solution.
This implements a builtin to provide a unique name that is stable across
compilations of this TU for the purposes of implementing the library
component of the unnamed kernel feature of SYCL. It does this by
running the Itanium mangler with a few modifications.
Because it is somewhat common to wrap non-kernel-related lambdas in
macros that aren't present on the device (such as for logging), this
uniquely generates an ID for all lambdas involved in the naming of a
kernel. It uses the lambda-mangling number to do this, except replaces
this with its own number (starting at 10000 for readabililty reasons)
for lambdas used to name a kernel.
Additionally, this implements itself as constexpr with a slight catch:
if a name would be invalidated by the use of this lambda in a later
kernel invocation, it is diagnosed as an error (see the Sema tests).

#pragma clang loop vectorize_width(4, scalable)
In the absence of a second parameter it is assumed the user wants
fixed width vectorization, in order to maintain compatibility with
existing code.
2. vectorize_width(fixed|scalable) where the width is left unspecified,
but the user hints what type of vectorization they prefer, either
fixed width or scalable.

attribute is `llvm.assume`. Similar to `llvm.assume` and
`__builtin_assume`, the `assume` attribute provides a user defined

A follow up patch will introduce an LLVM-core API to query the
assumptions attached to a function. We also expect to add more options,
e.g., expression arguments, to the `assume` attribute later on.
The `omp [begin] asssumes` pragma will leverage this attribute and

Recently HIP toolchain made a change to use clang instead of opt/llc to do compilation
(https://reviews.llvm.org/D81861). The intention is to make HIP toolchain canonical like
other toolchains.
However, this change introduced an unintentional change regarding backend fp fuse
option, which caused regressions in some HIP applications.
Basically before the change, HIP toolchain used clang to generate bitcode, then use
opt/llc to optimize bitcode and generate ISA. As such, the amdgpu backend takes
the default fp fuse mode which is 'Standard'. This mode respect contract flag of
fmul/fadd instructions and do not fuse fmul/fadd instructions without contract flag.
However, after the change, HIP toolchain now use clang to generate IR, do optimization,
and generate ISA as one process. Now amdgpu backend fp fuse option is determined
by -ffp-contract option, which is 'fast' by default. And this -ffp-contract=fast language option
is translated to 'Fast' fp fuse option in backend. Suddenly backend starts to fuse fmul/fadd
instructions without contract flag.
This causes wrong result for some device library functions, e.g. tan(-1e20), which should
return 0.8446, now returns -0.933. What is worse is that since backend with 'Fast' fp fuse
option does not respect contract flag, there is no way to use #pragma clang fp contract
directive to enforce fp contract requirements.
This patch fixes the regression by introducing a new value 'fast-honor-pragmas' for -ffp-contract
and use it for HIP by default. 'fast-honor-pragmas' is equivalent to 'fast' in frontend but
let the backend to use 'Standard' fp fuse option. 'fast-honor-pragmas' is useful since 'Fast'
fp fuse option in backend does not honor contract flag, it is of little use to HIP
applications since all code with #pragma STDC FP_CONTRACT or any IR from a
source compiled with -ffp-contract=on is broken.

Introduction/Motivation:
LLVM-IR supports integers of non-power-of-2 bitwidth, in the iN syntax.
Integers of non-power-of-two aren't particularly interesting or useful
on most hardware, so much so that no language in Clang has been
motivated to expose it before.
However, in the case of FPGA hardware normal integer types where the
full bitwidth isn't used, is extremely wasteful and has severe
performance/space concerns. Because of this, Intel has introduced this
functionality in the High Level Synthesis compiler[0]
under the name "Arbitrary Precision Integer" (ap_int for short). This
has been extremely useful and effective for our users, permitting them
to optimize their storage and operation space on an architecture where
both can be extremely expensive.
We are proposing upstreaming a more palatable version of this to the
community, in the form of this proposal and accompanying patch. We are
proposing the syntax _ExtInt(N). We intend to propose this to the WG14
committee[1], and the underscore-capital seems like the active direction
for a WG14 paper's acceptance. An alternative that Richard Smith
suggested on the initial review was __int(N), however we believe that
is much less acceptable by WG14. We considered _Int, however _Int is
used as an identifier in libstdc++ and there is no good way to fall
back to an identifier (since _Int(5) is indistinguishable from an
unnamed initializer of a template type named _Int).

memchr consistent and comprehensible, and document them.
We previously allowed evaluation of memcmp on arrays of integers of any
size, so long as the call evaluated to 0, and allowed evaluation of
memchr on any array of integral type of size 1 (including enums). The
purpose of constant-evaluating these builtins is only to support
constexpr std::char_traits, so we now consistently allow them on arrays
of (possibly signed or unsigned) char only.
In order to support non-user-named kernels, SYCL needs some way in the
integration headers to name the kernel object themselves. Initially, the
design considered just RTTI naming of the lambdas, this results in a
quite unstable situation in light of some device/host macros.
Additionally, this ends up needing to use RTTI, which is a burden on the
implementation and typically unsupported.
Instead, we've introduced a builtin, __builtin_unique_stable_name, which
takes a type or expression, and results in a constexpr constant
character array that uniquely represents the type (or type of the
expression) being passed to it.
The implementation accomplishes that simply by using a slightly modified
version of the Itanium Mangling. The one exception is when mangling
lambdas, instead of appending the index of the lambda in the function,
it appends the macro-expansion back-trace of the lambda itself in the
form LINE->COL[~LINE->COL...].

Summary:
Clang's "asm goto" feature didn't initially support outputs constraints. That
was the same behavior as gcc's implementation. The decision by gcc not to
support outputs was based on a restriction in their IR regarding terminators.
LLVM doesn't restrict terminators from returning values (e.g. 'invoke'), so
it made sense to support this feature.
Output values are valid only on the 'fallthrough' path. If an output value's used
on an indirect branch, then it's 'poisoned'.
In theory, outputs *could* be valid on the 'indirect' paths, but it's very
difficult to guarantee that the original semantics would be retained. E.g.
because indirect labels could be used as data, we wouldn't be able to split
critical edges in situations where two 'callbr' instructions have the same
indirect label, because the indirect branch's destination would no longer be
the same.

user interface and documentation, and update __cplusplus for C++20.
WG21 considers the C++20 standard to be finished (even though it still
has some more steps to pass through in the ISO process).
The old flag names are accepted for compatibility, as usual, and we
still have lots of references to C++2a in comments and identifiers;
those can be cleaned up separately.
GCC supports the conditional operator on VectorTypes that acts as a
'select' in C++ mode. This patch implements the support. Types are
converted as closely to GCC's behavior as possible, though in a few
places consistency with our existing vector type support was preferred.
Note that this implementation is different from the OpenCL version in a
number of ways, so it unfortunately required a different implementation.
First, the SEMA rules and promotion rules are significantly different.
Secondly, GCC implements COND[i] != 0 ? LHS[i] : RHS[i] (where i is in
the range 0- VectorSize, for each element). In OpenCL, the condition is
COND[i] < 0 ? LHS[i]: RHS[i].
In the process of implementing this, it was also required to make the
expression COND ? LHS : RHS type dependent if COND is type dependent,
since the type is now dependent on the condition. For example:
T ? 1 : 2;
Is not typically type dependent, since the result can be deduced from
the operands. HOWEVER, if T is a VectorType now, it could change this
to a 'select' (basically a swizzle with a non-constant mask) with the 1
and 2 being promoted to vectors themselves.
While this is a change, it is NOT a standards incompatible change. Based
on my (and D. Gregor's, at the time of writing the code) reading of the
standard, the expression is supposed to be type dependent if ANY

This change introduces three new builtins (which work on both pointers
and integers) that can be used instead of common bitwise arithmetic:
__builtin_align_up(x, alignment), __builtin_align_down(x, alignment) and
__builtin_is_aligned(x, alignment).
I originally added these builtins to the CHERI fork of LLVM a few years ago
to handle the slightly different C semantics that we use for CHERI [1].
Until recently these builtins (or sequences of other builtins) were
required to generate correct code. I have since made changes to the default
C semantics so that they are no longer strictly necessary (but using them
does generate slightly more efficient code). However, based on our experience
using them in various projects over the past few years, I believe that adding
these builtins to clang would be useful.
These builtins have the following benefit over bit-manipulation and casts
via uintptr_t:
- The named builtins clearly convey the semantics of the operation. While
checking alignment using __builtin_is_aligned(x, 16) versus
((x & 15) == 0) is probably not a huge win in readably, I personally find
__builtin_align_up(x, N) a lot easier to read than (x+(N-1))&~(N-1).
- They preserve the type of the argument (including const qualifiers). When
using casts via uintptr_t, it is easy to cast to the wrong type or strip
qualifiers such as const.
- If the alignment argument is a constant value, clang can check that it is
a power-of-two and within the range of the type. Since the semantics of
these builtins is well defined compared to arbitrary bit-manipulation,
it is possible to add a UBSAN checker that the run-time value is a valid
power-of-two. I intend to add this as a follow-up to this change.
- The builtins avoids int-to-pointer casts both in C and LLVM IR.
In the future (i.e. once most optimizations handle it), we could use the new
llvm.ptrmask intrinsic to avoid the ptrtoint instruction that would normally
be generated.
- They can be used to round up/down to the next aligned value for both
integers and pointers without requiring two separate macros.
- In many projects the alignment operations are already wrapped in macros (e.g.
roundup2 and rounddown2 in FreeBSD), so by replacing the macro implementation
with a builtin call, we get improved diagnostics for many call-sites while
only having to change a few lines.
- Finally, the builtins also emit assume_aligned metadata when used on pointers.
This can improve code generation compared to the uintptr_t casts.
[1] In our CHERI compiler we have compilation mode where all pointers are
implemented as capabilities (essentially unforgeable 128-bit fat pointers).
In our original model, casts from uintptr_t (which is a 128-bit capability)
to an integer value returned the "offset" of the capability (i.e. the
difference between the virtual address and the base of the allocation).
This causes problems for cases such as checking the alignment: for example, the
expression `if ((uintptr_t)ptr & 63) == 0` is generally used to check if the
pointer is aligned to a multiple of 64 bytes. The problem with offsets is that
any pointer to the beginning of an allocation will have an offset of zero, so
this check always succeeds in that case (even if the address is not correctly
aligned). The same issues also exist when aligning up or down. Using the
alignment builtins ensures that the address is used instead of the offset. While
I have since changed the default C semantics to return the address instead of
the offset when casting, this offset compilation mode can still be used by
passing a command-line flag.

We seem to have been gradually growing support for atomic min/max operations
(exposing longstanding IR atomicrmw instructions). But until now there have
been gaps in the expected intrinsics. This adds support for the C11-style
intrinsics (i.e. taking _Atomic, rather than individually blessed by C11
standard), and the variants that return the new value instead of the original
one.
That way, people won't be misled by trying one form and it not working, and the
front-end is more friendly to people using _Atomic types, as we recommend.
Summary: This patch fixes the __is_signed builtin type trait to work with floating point types and enums. Now, the builtin will return true if it is passed a floating point type and false for an enum type.

Commit c15aa241f8 ("[CLANG][BPF] change __builtin_preserve_access_index()
signature") changed the builtin function signature to
PointerT __builtin_preserve_access_index(PointerT ptr)
with a pointer type as the argument/return type, where argument and
return types must be the same.
There is really no reason for this constraint. The builtin just
presented a code region so that IR builtins
__builtin_{array, struct, union}_preserve_access_index
can be applied.
This patch removed the pointer type restriction to permit any
argument type as long as it is permitted by the compiler.

The clang intrinsic __builtin_preserve_access_index() currently
has signature:
const void * __builtin_preserve_access_index(const void * ptr)
This may cause compiler warning when:
- parameter type is "volatile void *" or "const volatile void *", or
- the assign-to type of the intrinsic does not have "const" qualifier.
Further, this signature does not allow dereference of the
builtin result pointer as it is a "const void *" type, which
adds extra step for the user to do type casting.
Let us change the signature to:
PointerT __builtin_preserve_access_index(PointerT ptr)
such that the result and argument types are the same.
With this, directly dereferencing the builtin return value
becomes possible.
