Generate nuw GEPs for struct member accesses, as inbounds + non-negative
implies nuw.
Regression tests are updated using update scripts where possible, and by
find + replace where not.
This is a follow-up from the conversation starting at
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/93809#issuecomment-2173729801
The root problem that motivated the change are external AST sources that
compute `ASTRecordLayout`s themselves instead of letting Clang compute
them from the AST. One such example is LLDB using DWARF to get the
definitive offsets and sizes of C++ structures. Such layouts should be
considered correct (modulo buggy DWARF), but various assertions and
lowering logic around the `CGRecordLayoutBuilder` relies on the AST
having `[[no_unique_address]]` attached to them. This is a
layout-altering attribute which is not encoded in DWARF. This causes us
LLDB to trip over the various LLVM<->Clang layout consistency checks.
There has been precedent for avoiding such layout-altering attributes
from affecting lowering with externally-provided layouts (e.g., packed
structs).
This patch proposes to replace the `isZeroSize` checks in
`CGRecordLayoutBuilder` (which roughly means "empty field with
[[no_unique_address]]") with checks for
`CodeGen::isEmptyField`/`CodeGen::isEmptyRecord`.
**Details**
The main strategy here was to change the `isZeroSize` check in
`CGRecordLowering::accumulateFields` and
`CGRecordLowering::accumulateBases` to use the `isEmptyXXX` APIs
instead, preventing empty fields from being added to the `Members` and
`Bases` structures. The rest of the changes fall out from here, to
prevent lookups into these structures (for field numbers or base
indices) from failing.
Added `isEmptyRecordForLayout` and `isEmptyFieldForLayout` (open to
better naming suggestions). The main difference to the existing
`isEmptyRecord`/`isEmptyField` APIs, is that the `isEmptyXXXForLayout`
counterparts don't have special treatment for `unnamed bitfields`/arrays
and also treat fields of empty types as if they had
`[[no_unique_address]]` (i.e., just like the `AsIfNoUniqueAddr` in
`isEmptyField` does).
This is a mostly-target-independent variadic function optimisation and
lowering pass. It is only enabled for AMDGPU in this initial commit.
The purpose is to make C style variadic functions a zero cost
abstraction. They are lowered to equivalent IR which is then amenable to
other optimisations. This is inherently slightly target specific but
much less so than one might expect - the C varargs interface heavily
constrains the ABI design divergence.
The pass is primarily tested from webassembly. This is because wasm has
a straightforward variadic lowering strategy which coincides exactly
with what this pass transforms code into and a struct passing convention
with few cases to check. Adding further targets conventions is
straightforward and elided from this patch primarily to simplify the
review. Implemented in other branches are Linux X86, AMD64, AArch64 and
NVPTX.
Testing for targets that have existing lowering for va_arg from clang is
most efficiently done by checking that clang | opt completely elides the
variadic syntax from test cases. The lowering produces a struct for each
call site which can be inspected to check the various alignment and
indirections are correct.
AMDGPU presently has no variadic support other than some ad hoc printf
handling. Combined with the pass being inactive on all other targets
landing this represents strict increase in capability with zero risk.
Testing and refining will continue post commit.
In addition to the compiler tests included here, a self contained x64
clang/musl toolchain was constructed using the "lowering" instead of the
systemv ABI and used to build various C programs like lua and libxml2.
