Currently clang's medium code model treats all data as large, putting them in a large data section and using more expensive instruction sequences to access them. Following gcc's -mlarge-data-threshold, which allows putting data under a certain size in a normal data section as opposed to a large data section. This allows using cheaper code sequences to access some portion of data in the binary (which will be implemented in LLVM in a future patch). And under the medium codel mode, only put data above the large data threshold into large data sections, not all data. Reviewed By: MaskRay, rnk Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D149288
The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure
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.
