<p>Welcome to Chapter 4 of the "<a href="index.html">Implementing a language
|
|
with LLVM</a>" tutorial. Chapters 1-3 described the implementation of a simple
|
|
language and added support for generating LLVM IR. This chapter describes
|
|
two new techniques: adding optimizer support to your language, and adding JIT
|
|
compiler support. These additions will demonstrate how to get nice, efficient code
|
|
for the Kaleidoscope language.</p>

<p><b>Note:</b> the default <tt>IRBuilder</tt> now always includes the constant
|
|
folding optimisations below.<p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Our demonstration for Chapter 3 is elegant and easy to extend. Unfortunately,
|
|
it does not produce wonderful code. For example, when compiling simple code,
|
|
we don't get obvious optimizations:</p>
|
|
|
|
<div class="doc_code">
|
|
<pre>
|
|
ready> <b>def test(x) 1+2+x;</b>
|
|
Read function definition:
|
|
define double @test(double %x) {
|
|
entry:
|
|
%addtmp = fadd double 1.000000e+00, 2.000000e+00
|
|
%addtmp1 = fadd double %addtmp, %x
|
|
ret double %addtmp1
|
|
}
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<p>This code is a very, very literal transcription of the AST built by parsing
|
|
the input. As such, this transcription lacks optimizations like constant folding
|
|
(we'd like to get "<tt>add x, 3.0</tt>" in the example above) as well as other
|
|
more important optimizations. Constant folding, in particular, is a very common
|
|
and very important optimization: so much so that many language implementors
|
|
implement constant folding support in their AST representation.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>With LLVM, you don't need this support in the AST. Since all calls to build
|
|
LLVM IR go through the LLVM builder, it would be nice if the builder itself
|
|
checked to see if there was a constant folding opportunity when you call it.
|
|
If so, it could just do the constant fold and return the constant instead of
|
|
creating an instruction. This is exactly what the <tt>LLVMFoldingBuilder</tt>
|
|
class does.
|
|
|
|
<p>All we did was switch from <tt>LLVMBuilder</tt> to
|
|
<tt>LLVMFoldingBuilder</tt>. Though we change no other code, we now have all of our
|
|
instructions implicitly constant folded without us having to do anything
|
|
about it. For example, the input above now compiles to:</p>
|
|
|
|
<div class="doc_code">
|
|
<pre>
|
|
ready> <b>def test(x) 1+2+x;</b>
|
|
Read function definition:
|
|
define double @test(double %x) {
|
|
entry:
|
|
%addtmp = fadd double 3.000000e+00, %x
|
|
ret double %addtmp
|
|
}
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<p>Well, that was easy :). In practice, we recommend always using
|
|
<tt>LLVMFoldingBuilder</tt> when generating code like this. It has no
|
|
"syntactic overhead" for its use (you don't have to uglify your compiler with
|
|
constant checks everywhere) and it can dramatically reduce the amount of
|
|
LLVM IR that is generated in some cases (particular for languages with a macro
|
|
preprocessor or that use a lot of constants).</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>On the other hand, the <tt>LLVMFoldingBuilder</tt> is limited by the fact
|
|
that it does all of its analysis inline with the code as it is built. If you
|
|
take a slightly more complex example:</p>
|
|
|
|
<div class="doc_code">
|
|
<pre>
|
|
ready> <b>def test(x) (1+2+x)*(x+(1+2));</b>
|
|
ready> Read function definition:
|
|
define double @test(double %x) {
|
|
entry:
|
|
%addtmp = fadd double 3.000000e+00, %x
|
|
%addtmp1 = fadd double %x, 3.000000e+00
|
|
%multmp = fmul double %addtmp, %addtmp1
|
|
ret double %multmp
|
|
}
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<p>In this case, the LHS and RHS of the multiplication are the same value. We'd
|
|
really like to see this generate "<tt>tmp = x+3; result = tmp*tmp;</tt>" instead
|
|
of computing "<tt>x*3</tt>" twice.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Unfortunately, no amount of local analysis will be able to detect and correct
|
|
this. This requires two transformations: reassociation of expressions (to
|
|
make the add's lexically identical) and Common Subexpression Elimination (CSE)
|
|
to delete the redundant add instruction. Fortunately, LLVM provides a broad
|
|
range of optimizations that you can use, in the form of "passes".</p>

<div>
|
|
|
|
<p>LLVM provides many optimization passes, which do many different sorts of
|
|
things and have different tradeoffs. Unlike other systems, LLVM doesn't hold
|
|
to the mistaken notion that one set of optimizations is right for all languages
|
|
and for all situations. LLVM allows a compiler implementor to make complete
|
|
decisions about what optimizations to use, in which order, and in what
|
|
situation.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>As a concrete example, LLVM supports both "whole module" passes, which look
|
|
across as large of body of code as they can (often a whole file, but if run
|
|
at link time, this can be a substantial portion of the whole program). It also
|
|
supports and includes "per-function" passes which just operate on a single
|
|
function at a time, without looking at other functions. For more information
|
|
on passes and how they are run, see the <a href="../WritingAnLLVMPass.html">How
|
|
to Write a Pass</a> document and the <a href="../Passes.html">List of LLVM
|
|
Passes</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>For Kaleidoscope, we are currently generating functions on the fly, one at
|
|
a time, as the user types them in. We aren't shooting for the ultimate
|
|
optimization experience in this setting, but we also want to catch the easy and
|
|
quick stuff where possible. As such, we will choose to run a few per-function
|
|
optimizations as the user types the function in. If we wanted to make a "static
|
|
Kaleidoscope compiler", we would use exactly the code we have now, except that
|
|
we would defer running the optimizer until the entire file has been parsed.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>In order to get per-function optimizations going, we need to set up a
|
|
<a href="../WritingAnLLVMPass.html#passmanager">Llvm.PassManager</a> to hold and
|
|
organize the LLVM optimizations that we want to run. Once we have that, we can
|
|
add a set of optimizations to run. The code looks like this:</p>
|
|
|
|
<div class="doc_code">
|
|
<pre>
|
|
(* Create the JIT. *)
|
|
let the_execution_engine = ExecutionEngine.create Codegen.the_module in
|
|
let the_fpm = PassManager.create_function Codegen.the_module in
|
|
|
|
(* Set up the optimizer pipeline. Start with registering info about how the
|
|
* target lays out data structures. *)
|
|
TargetData.add (ExecutionEngine.target_data the_execution_engine) the_fpm;
|
|
|
|
(* Do simple "peephole" optimizations and bit-twiddling optzn. *)
|
|
add_instruction_combining the_fpm;
|
|
|
|
(* reassociate expressions. *)
|
|
add_reassociation the_fpm;
|
|
|
|
(* Eliminate Common SubExpressions. *)
|
|
add_gvn the_fpm;
|
|
|
|
(* Simplify the control flow graph (deleting unreachable blocks, etc). *)
|
|
add_cfg_simplification the_fpm;
|
|
|
|
ignore (PassManager.initialize the_fpm);
|
|
|
|
(* Run the main "interpreter loop" now. *)
|
|
Toplevel.main_loop the_fpm the_execution_engine stream;
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<p>The meat of the matter here, is the definition of "<tt>the_fpm</tt>". It
|
|
requires a pointer to the <tt>the_module</tt> to construct itself. Once it is
|
|
set up, we use a series of "add" calls to add a bunch of LLVM passes. The
|
|
first pass is basically boilerplate, it adds a pass so that later optimizations
|
|
know how the data structures in the program are laid out. The
|
|
"<tt>the_execution_engine</tt>" variable is related to the JIT, which we will
|
|
get to in the next section.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>In this case, we choose to add 4 optimization passes. The passes we chose
|
|
here are a pretty standard set of "cleanup" optimizations that are useful for
|
|
a wide variety of code. I won't delve into what they do but, believe me,
|
|
they are a good starting place :).</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Once the <tt>Llvm.PassManager.</tt> is set up, we need to make use of it.
|
|
We do this by running it after our newly created function is constructed (in
|
|
<tt>Codegen.codegen_func</tt>), but before it is returned to the client:</p>
|
|
|
|
<div class="doc_code">
|
|
<pre>
|
|
let codegen_func the_fpm = function
|
|
...
|
|
try
|
|
let ret_val = codegen_expr body in
|
|
|
|
(* Finish off the function. *)
|
|
let _ = build_ret ret_val builder in
|
|
|
|
(* Validate the generated code, checking for consistency. *)
|
|
Llvm_analysis.assert_valid_function the_function;
|
|
|
|
(* Optimize the function. *)
|
|
let _ = PassManager.run_function the_function the_fpm in
|
|
|
|
the_function
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<p>As you can see, this is pretty straightforward. The <tt>the_fpm</tt>
|
|
optimizes and updates the LLVM Function* in place, improving (hopefully) its
|
|
body. With this in place, we can try our test above again:</p>
|
|
|
|
<div class="doc_code">
|
|
<pre>
|
|
ready> <b>def test(x) (1+2+x)*(x+(1+2));</b>
|
|
ready> Read function definition:
|
|
define double @test(double %x) {
|
|
entry:
|
|
%addtmp = fadd double %x, 3.000000e+00
|
|
%multmp = fmul double %addtmp, %addtmp
|
|
ret double %multmp
|
|
}
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<p>As expected, we now get our nicely optimized code, saving a floating point
|
|
add instruction from every execution of this function.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>LLVM provides a wide variety of optimizations that can be used in certain
|
|
circumstances. Some <a href="../Passes.html">documentation about the various
|
|
passes</a> is available, but it isn't very complete. Another good source of
|
|
ideas can come from looking at the passes that <tt>llvm-gcc</tt> or
|
|
<tt>llvm-ld</tt> run to get started. The "<tt>opt</tt>" tool allows you to
|
|
experiment with passes from the command line, so you can see if they do
|
|
anything.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Now that we have reasonable code coming out of our front-end, lets talk about
|
|
executing it!</p>

<h2><a name="jit">Adding a JIT Compiler</a></h2>
|
|
<!-- *********************************************************************** -->
|
|
|
|
<div>
|
|
|
|
<p>Code that is available in LLVM IR can have a wide variety of tools
|
|
applied to it. For example, you can run optimizations on it (as we did above),
|
|
you can dump it out in textual or binary forms, you can compile the code to an
|
|
assembly file (.s) for some target, or you can JIT compile it. The nice thing
|
|
about the LLVM IR representation is that it is the "common currency" between
|
|
many different parts of the compiler.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>In this section, we'll add JIT compiler support to our interpreter. The
|
|
basic idea that we want for Kaleidoscope is to have the user enter function
|
|
bodies as they do now, but immediately evaluate the top-level expressions they
|
|
type in. For example, if they type in "1 + 2;", we should evaluate and print
|
|
out 3. If they define a function, they should be able to call it from the
|
|
command line.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>In order to do this, we first declare and initialize the JIT. This is done
|
|
by adding a global variable and a call in <tt>main</tt>:</p>
|
|
|
|
<div class="doc_code">
|
|
<pre>
|
|
...
|
|
let main () =
|
|
...
|
|
<b>(* Create the JIT. *)
|
|
let the_execution_engine = ExecutionEngine.create Codegen.the_module in</b>
|
|
...
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<p>This creates an abstract "Execution Engine" which can be either a JIT
|
|
compiler or the LLVM interpreter. LLVM will automatically pick a JIT compiler
|
|
for you if one is available for your platform, otherwise it will fall back to
|
|
the interpreter.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Once the <tt>Llvm_executionengine.ExecutionEngine.t</tt> is created, the JIT
|
|
is ready to be used. There are a variety of APIs that are useful, but the
|
|
simplest one is the "<tt>Llvm_executionengine.ExecutionEngine.run_function</tt>"
|
|
function. This method JIT compiles the specified LLVM Function and returns a
|
|
function pointer to the generated machine code. In our case, this means that we
|
|
can change the code that parses a top-level expression to look like this:</p>
|
|
|
|
<div class="doc_code">
|
|
<pre>
|
|
(* Evaluate a top-level expression into an anonymous function. *)
|
|
let e = Parser.parse_toplevel stream in
|
|
print_endline "parsed a top-level expr";
|
|
let the_function = Codegen.codegen_func the_fpm e in
|
|
dump_value the_function;
|
|
|
|
(* JIT the function, returning a function pointer. *)
|
|
let result = ExecutionEngine.run_function the_function [||]
|
|
the_execution_engine in
|
|
|
|
print_string "Evaluated to ";
|
|
print_float (GenericValue.as_float Codegen.double_type result);
|
|
print_newline ();
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<p>Recall that we compile top-level expressions into a self-contained LLVM
|
|
function that takes no arguments and returns the computed double. Because the
|
|
LLVM JIT compiler matches the native platform ABI, this means that you can just
|
|
cast the result pointer to a function pointer of that type and call it directly.
|
|
This means, there is no difference between JIT compiled code and native machine
|
|
code that is statically linked into your application.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>With just these two changes, lets see how Kaleidoscope works now!</p>
|
|
|
|
<div class="doc_code">
|
|
<pre>
|
|
ready> <b>4+5;</b>
|
|
define double @""() {
|
|
entry:
|
|
ret double 9.000000e+00
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
<em>Evaluated to 9.000000</em>
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<p>Well this looks like it is basically working. The dump of the function
|
|
shows the "no argument function that always returns double" that we synthesize
|
|
for each top level expression that is typed in. This demonstrates very basic
|
|
functionality, but can we do more?</p>
|
|
|
|
<div class="doc_code">
|
|
<pre>
|
|
ready> <b>def testfunc(x y) x + y*2; </b>
|
|
Read function definition:
|
|
define double @testfunc(double %x, double %y) {
|
|
entry:
|
|
%multmp = fmul double %y, 2.000000e+00
|
|
%addtmp = fadd double %multmp, %x

|
|
}
|
|
|
|
<em>Evaluated to 24.000000</em>
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<p>This illustrates that we can now call user code, but there is something a bit
|
|
subtle going on here. Note that we only invoke the JIT on the anonymous
|
|
functions that <em>call testfunc</em>, but we never invoked it
|
|
on <em>testfunc</em> itself. What actually happened here is that the JIT
|
|
scanned for all non-JIT'd functions transitively called from the anonymous
|
|
function and compiled all of them before returning
|
|
from <tt>run_function</tt>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The JIT provides a number of other more advanced interfaces for things like
|
|
freeing allocated machine code, rejit'ing functions to update them, etc.
|
|
However, even with this simple code, we get some surprisingly powerful
|
|
capabilities - check this out (I removed the dump of the anonymous functions,
|
|
you should get the idea by now :) :</p>
|
|
|
|
<div class="doc_code">

|
|
<em>Evaluated to 1.000000</em>
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<p>Whoa, how does the JIT know about sin and cos? The answer is surprisingly
|
|
simple: in this example, the JIT started execution of a function and got to a
|
|
function call. It realized that the function was not yet JIT compiled and
|
|
invoked the standard set of routines to resolve the function. In this case,
|
|
there is no body defined for the function, so the JIT ended up calling
|
|
"<tt>dlsym("sin")</tt>" on the Kaleidoscope process itself. Since
|
|
"<tt>sin</tt>" is defined within the JIT's address space, it simply patches up
|
|
calls in the module to call the libm version of <tt>sin</tt> directly.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The LLVM JIT provides a number of interfaces (look in the
|
|
<tt>llvm_executionengine.mli</tt> file) for controlling how unknown functions
|
|
get resolved. It allows you to establish explicit mappings between IR objects
|
|
and addresses (useful for LLVM global variables that you want to map to static
|
|
tables, for example), allows you to dynamically decide on the fly based on the
|
|
function name, and even allows you to have the JIT compile functions lazily the
|
|
first time they're called.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>One interesting application of this is that we can now extend the language
|
|
by writing arbitrary C code to implement operations. For example, if we add:
|
|

<p>Now we can produce simple output to the console by using things like:
|
|
"<tt>extern putchard(x); putchard(120);</tt>", which prints a lowercase 'x' on
|
|
the console (120 is the ASCII code for 'x'). Similar code could be used to
|
|
implement file I/O, console input, and many other capabilities in
|
|
Kaleidoscope.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>This completes the JIT and optimizer chapter of the Kaleidoscope tutorial. At
|
|
this point, we can compile a non-Turing-complete programming language, optimize
|
|
and JIT compile it in a user-driven way. Next up we'll look into <a
|
|
href="OCamlLangImpl5.html">extending the language with control flow
|
|
constructs</a>, tackling some interesting LLVM IR issues along the way.</p>
