The vector granule (AArch64 DWARF register 46) is a pseudo-register that contains the available size in bits of SVE vector registers in the current call frame, divided by 64. The vector granule can be used in DWARF expressions to describe SVE/SME stack frame layouts (e.g., the location of SVE callee-saves). The first time VG is evaluated (if not already set), it is initialized to the result of evaluating a "CNTD" instruction (this assumes SVE is available). To support SME, the value of VG can change per call frame; this is currently handled like any other callee-save and is intended to support the unwind information implemented in #152283. This limits how VG is used in the CFI information of functions with "streaming-mode changes" (mode changes that change the SVE vector length), to make the unwinder's job easier.
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.
