-Kaleidoscope: Code generation to LLVM IR
-========================================
-
-.. contents::
- :local:
-
-Chapter 3 Introduction
-======================
-
-Welcome to Chapter 3 of the "`Implementing a language with
-LLVM <index.html>`_" tutorial. This chapter shows you how to transform
-the `Abstract Syntax Tree <OCamlLangImpl2.html>`_, built in Chapter 2,
-into LLVM IR. This will teach you a little bit about how LLVM does
-things, as well as demonstrate how easy it is to use. It's much more
-work to build a lexer and parser than it is to generate LLVM IR code. :)
-
-**Please note**: the code in this chapter and later require LLVM 2.3 or
-LLVM SVN to work. LLVM 2.2 and before will not work with it.
-
-Code Generation Setup
-=====================
-
-In order to generate LLVM IR, we want some simple setup to get started.
-First we define virtual code generation (codegen) methods in each AST
-class:
-
-.. code-block:: ocaml
-
- let rec codegen_expr = function
- | Ast.Number n -> ...
- | Ast.Variable name -> ...
-
-The ``Codegen.codegen_expr`` function says to emit IR for that AST node
-along with all the things it depends on, and they all return an LLVM
-Value object. "Value" is the class used to represent a "`Static Single
-Assignment
-(SSA) <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_single_assignment_form>`_
-register" or "SSA value" in LLVM. The most distinct aspect of SSA values
-is that their value is computed as the related instruction executes, and
-it does not get a new value until (and if) the instruction re-executes.
-In other words, there is no way to "change" an SSA value. For more
-information, please read up on `Static Single
-Assignment <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_single_assignment_form>`_
-- the concepts are really quite natural once you grok them.
-
-The second thing we want is an "Error" exception like we used for the
-parser, which will be used to report errors found during code generation
-(for example, use of an undeclared parameter):
-
-.. code-block:: ocaml
-
- exception Error of string
-
- let context = global_context ()
- let the_module = create_module context "my cool jit"
- let builder = builder context
- let named_values:(string, llvalue) Hashtbl.t = Hashtbl.create 10
- let double_type = double_type context
-
-The static variables will be used during code generation.
-``Codgen.the_module`` is the LLVM construct that contains all of the
-functions and global variables in a chunk of code. In many ways, it is
-the top-level structure that the LLVM IR uses to contain code.
-
-The ``Codegen.builder`` object is a helper object that makes it easy to
-generate LLVM instructions. Instances of the
-`IRBuilder <http://llvm.org/doxygen/IRBuilder_8h-source.html>`_
-class keep track of the current place to insert instructions and has
-methods to create new instructions.
-
-The ``Codegen.named_values`` map keeps track of which values are defined
-in the current scope and what their LLVM representation is. (In other
-words, it is a symbol table for the code). In this form of Kaleidoscope,
-the only things that can be referenced are function parameters. As such,
-function parameters will be in this map when generating code for their
-function body.
-
-With these basics in place, we can start talking about how to generate
-code for each expression. Note that this assumes that the
-``Codgen.builder`` has been set up to generate code *into* something.
-For now, we'll assume that this has already been done, and we'll just
-use it to emit code.
-
-Expression Code Generation
-==========================
-
-Generating LLVM code for expression nodes is very straightforward: less
-than 30 lines of commented code for all four of our expression nodes.
-First we'll do numeric literals:
-
-.. code-block:: ocaml
-
- | Ast.Number n -> const_float double_type n
-
-In the LLVM IR, numeric constants are represented with the
-``ConstantFP`` class, which holds the numeric value in an ``APFloat``
-internally (``APFloat`` has the capability of holding floating point
-constants of Arbitrary Precision). This code basically just creates
-and returns a ``ConstantFP``. Note that in the LLVM IR that constants
-are all uniqued together and shared. For this reason, the API uses "the
-foo::get(..)" idiom instead of "new foo(..)" or "foo::Create(..)".
-
-.. code-block:: ocaml
-
- | Ast.Variable name ->
- (try Hashtbl.find named_values name with
- | Not_found -> raise (Error "unknown variable name"))
-
-References to variables are also quite simple using LLVM. In the simple
-version of Kaleidoscope, we assume that the variable has already been
-emitted somewhere and its value is available. In practice, the only
-values that can be in the ``Codegen.named_values`` map are function
-arguments. This code simply checks to see that the specified name is in
-the map (if not, an unknown variable is being referenced) and returns
-the value for it. In future chapters, we'll add support for `loop
-induction variables <LangImpl5.html#for-loop-expression>`_ in the symbol table, and for
-`local variables <LangImpl7.html#user-defined-local-variables>`_.
-
-.. code-block:: ocaml
-
- | Ast.Binary (op, lhs, rhs) ->
- let lhs_val = codegen_expr lhs in
- let rhs_val = codegen_expr rhs in
- begin
- match op with
- | '+' -> build_fadd lhs_val rhs_val "addtmp" builder
- | '-' -> build_fsub lhs_val rhs_val "subtmp" builder
- | '*' -> build_fmul lhs_val rhs_val "multmp" builder
- | '<' ->
- (* Convert bool 0/1 to double 0.0 or 1.0 *)
- let i = build_fcmp Fcmp.Ult lhs_val rhs_val "cmptmp" builder in
- build_uitofp i double_type "booltmp" builder
- | _ -> raise (Error "invalid binary operator")
- end
-
-Binary operators start to get more interesting. The basic idea here is
-that we recursively emit code for the left-hand side of the expression,
-then the right-hand side, then we compute the result of the binary
-expression. In this code, we do a simple switch on the opcode to create
-the right LLVM instruction.
-
-In the example above, the LLVM builder class is starting to show its
-value. IRBuilder knows where to insert the newly created instruction,
-all you have to do is specify what instruction to create (e.g. with
-``Llvm.create_add``), which operands to use (``lhs`` and ``rhs`` here)
-and optionally provide a name for the generated instruction.
-
-One nice thing about LLVM is that the name is just a hint. For instance,
-if the code above emits multiple "addtmp" variables, LLVM will
-automatically provide each one with an increasing, unique numeric
-suffix. Local value names for instructions are purely optional, but it
-makes it much easier to read the IR dumps.
-
-`LLVM instructions <../LangRef.html#instruction-reference>`_ are constrained by strict
-rules: for example, the Left and Right operators of an `add
-instruction <../LangRef.html#add-instruction>`_ must have the same type, and the
-result type of the add must match the operand types. Because all values
-in Kaleidoscope are doubles, this makes for very simple code for add,
-sub and mul.
-
-On the other hand, LLVM specifies that the `fcmp
-instruction <../LangRef.html#fcmp-instruction>`_ always returns an 'i1' value (a
-one bit integer). The problem with this is that Kaleidoscope wants the
-value to be a 0.0 or 1.0 value. In order to get these semantics, we
-combine the fcmp instruction with a `uitofp
-instruction <../LangRef.html#uitofp-to-instruction>`_. This instruction converts its
-input integer into a floating point value by treating the input as an
-unsigned value. In contrast, if we used the `sitofp
-instruction <../LangRef.html#sitofp-to-instruction>`_, the Kaleidoscope '<' operator
-would return 0.0 and -1.0, depending on the input value.
-
-.. code-block:: ocaml
-
- | Ast.Call (callee, args) ->
- (* Look up the name in the module table. *)
- let callee =
- match lookup_function callee the_module with
- | Some callee -> callee
- | None -> raise (Error "unknown function referenced")
- in
- let params = params callee in
-
- (* If argument mismatch error. *)
- if Array.length params == Array.length args then () else
- raise (Error "incorrect # arguments passed");
- let args = Array.map codegen_expr args in
- build_call callee args "calltmp" builder
-
-Code generation for function calls is quite straightforward with LLVM.
-The code above initially does a function name lookup in the LLVM
-Module's symbol table. Recall that the LLVM Module is the container that
-holds all of the functions we are JIT'ing. By giving each function the
-same name as what the user specifies, we can use the LLVM symbol table
-to resolve function names for us.
-
-Once we have the function to call, we recursively codegen each argument
-that is to be passed in, and create an LLVM `call
-instruction <../LangRef.html#call-instruction>`_. Note that LLVM uses the native C
-calling conventions by default, allowing these calls to also call into
-standard library functions like "sin" and "cos", with no additional
-effort.
-
-This wraps up our handling of the four basic expressions that we have so
-far in Kaleidoscope. Feel free to go in and add some more. For example,
-by browsing the `LLVM language reference <../LangRef.html>`_ you'll find
-several other interesting instructions that are really easy to plug into
-our basic framework.
-
-Function Code Generation
-========================
-
-Code generation for prototypes and functions must handle a number of
-details, which make their code less beautiful than expression code
-generation, but allows us to illustrate some important points. First,
-lets talk about code generation for prototypes: they are used both for
-function bodies and external function declarations. The code starts
-with:
-
-.. code-block:: ocaml
-
- let codegen_proto = function
- | Ast.Prototype (name, args) ->
- (* Make the function type: double(double,double) etc. *)
- let doubles = Array.make (Array.length args) double_type in
- let ft = function_type double_type doubles in
- let f =
- match lookup_function name the_module with
-
-This code packs a lot of power into a few lines. Note first that this
-function returns a "Function\*" instead of a "Value\*" (although at the
-moment they both are modeled by ``llvalue`` in ocaml). Because a
-"prototype" really talks about the external interface for a function
-(not the value computed by an expression), it makes sense for it to
-return the LLVM Function it corresponds to when codegen'd.
-
-The call to ``Llvm.function_type`` creates the ``Llvm.llvalue`` that
-should be used for a given Prototype. Since all function arguments in
-Kaleidoscope are of type double, the first line creates a vector of "N"
-LLVM double types. It then uses the ``Llvm.function_type`` method to
-create a function type that takes "N" doubles as arguments, returns one
-double as a result, and that is not vararg (that uses the function
-``Llvm.var_arg_function_type``). Note that Types in LLVM are uniqued
-just like ``Constant``'s are, so you don't "new" a type, you "get" it.
-
-The final line above checks if the function has already been defined in
-``Codegen.the_module``. If not, we will create it.
-
-.. code-block:: ocaml
-
- | None -> declare_function name ft the_module
-
-This indicates the type and name to use, as well as which module to
-insert into. By default we assume a function has
-``Llvm.Linkage.ExternalLinkage``. "`external
-linkage <../LangRef.html#linkage>`_" means that the function may be defined
-outside the current module and/or that it is callable by functions
-outside the module. The "``name``" passed in is the name the user
-specified: this name is registered in "``Codegen.the_module``"s symbol
-table, which is used by the function call code above.
-
-In Kaleidoscope, I choose to allow redefinitions of functions in two
-cases: first, we want to allow 'extern'ing a function more than once, as
-long as the prototypes for the externs match (since all arguments have
-the same type, we just have to check that the number of arguments
-match). Second, we want to allow 'extern'ing a function and then
-defining a body for it. This is useful when defining mutually recursive
-functions.
-
-.. code-block:: ocaml
-
- (* If 'f' conflicted, there was already something named 'name'. If it
- * has a body, don't allow redefinition or reextern. *)
- | Some f ->
- (* If 'f' already has a body, reject this. *)
- if Array.length (basic_blocks f) == 0 then () else
- raise (Error "redefinition of function");
-
- (* If 'f' took a different number of arguments, reject. *)
- if Array.length (params f) == Array.length args then () else
- raise (Error "redefinition of function with different # args");
- f
- in
-
-In order to verify the logic above, we first check to see if the
-pre-existing function is "empty". In this case, empty means that it has
-no basic blocks in it, which means it has no body. If it has no body, it
-is a forward declaration. Since we don't allow anything after a full
-definition of the function, the code rejects this case. If the previous
-reference to a function was an 'extern', we simply verify that the
-number of arguments for that definition and this one match up. If not,
-we emit an error.
-
-.. code-block:: ocaml
-
- (* Set names for all arguments. *)
- Array.iteri (fun i a ->
- let n = args.(i) in
- set_value_name n a;
- Hashtbl.add named_values n a;
- ) (params f);
- f
-
-The last bit of code for prototypes loops over all of the arguments in
-the function, setting the name of the LLVM Argument objects to match,
-and registering the arguments in the ``Codegen.named_values`` map for
-future use by the ``Ast.Variable`` variant. Once this is set up, it
-returns the Function object to the caller. Note that we don't check for
-conflicting argument names here (e.g. "extern foo(a b a)"). Doing so
-would be very straight-forward with the mechanics we have already used
-above.
-
-.. code-block:: ocaml
-
- let codegen_func = function
- | Ast.Function (proto, body) ->
- Hashtbl.clear named_values;
- let the_function = codegen_proto proto in
-
-Code generation for function definitions starts out simply enough: we
-just codegen the prototype (Proto) and verify that it is ok. We then
-clear out the ``Codegen.named_values`` map to make sure that there isn't
-anything in it from the last function we compiled. Code generation of
-the prototype ensures that there is an LLVM Function object that is
-ready to go for us.
-
-.. code-block:: ocaml
-
- (* Create a new basic block to start insertion into. *)
- let bb = append_block context "entry" the_function in
- position_at_end bb builder;
-
- try
- let ret_val = codegen_expr body in
-
-Now we get to the point where the ``Codegen.builder`` is set up. The
-first line creates a new `basic
-block <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_block>`_ (named "entry"),
-which is inserted into ``the_function``. The second line then tells the
-builder that new instructions should be inserted into the end of the new
-basic block. Basic blocks in LLVM are an important part of functions
-that define the `Control Flow
-Graph <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_flow_graph>`_. Since we
-don't have any control flow, our functions will only contain one block
-at this point. We'll fix this in `Chapter 5 <OCamlLangImpl5.html>`_ :).
-
-.. code-block:: ocaml
-
- 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;
-
- the_function
-
-Once the insertion point is set up, we call the ``Codegen.codegen_func``
-method for the root expression of the function. If no error happens,
-this emits code to compute the expression into the entry block and
-returns the value that was computed. Assuming no error, we then create
-an LLVM `ret instruction <../LangRef.html#ret-instruction>`_, which completes the
-function. Once the function is built, we call
-``Llvm_analysis.assert_valid_function``, which is provided by LLVM. This
-function does a variety of consistency checks on the generated code, to
-determine if our compiler is doing everything right. Using this is
-important: it can catch a lot of bugs. Once the function is finished and
-validated, we return it.
-
-.. code-block:: ocaml
-
- with e ->
- delete_function the_function;
- raise e
-
-The only piece left here is handling of the error case. For simplicity,
-we handle this by merely deleting the function we produced with the
-``Llvm.delete_function`` method. This allows the user to redefine a
-function that they incorrectly typed in before: if we didn't delete it,
-it would live in the symbol table, with a body, preventing future
-redefinition.
-
-This code does have a bug, though. Since the ``Codegen.codegen_proto``
-can return a previously defined forward declaration, our code can
-actually delete a forward declaration. There are a number of ways to fix
-this bug, see what you can come up with! Here is a testcase:
-
-::
-
- extern foo(a b); # ok, defines foo.
- def foo(a b) c; # error, 'c' is invalid.
- def bar() foo(1, 2); # error, unknown function "foo"
-
-Driver Changes and Closing Thoughts
-===================================
-
-For now, code generation to LLVM doesn't really get us much, except that
-we can look at the pretty IR calls. The sample code inserts calls to
-Codegen into the "``Toplevel.main_loop``", and then dumps out the LLVM
-IR. This gives a nice way to look at the LLVM IR for simple functions.
-For example:
-
-::
-
- ready> 4+5;
- Read top-level expression:
- define double @""() {
- entry:
- %addtmp = fadd double 4.000000e+00, 5.000000e+00
- ret double %addtmp
- }
-
-Note how the parser turns the top-level expression into anonymous
-functions for us. This will be handy when we add `JIT
-support <OCamlLangImpl4.html#adding-a-jit-compiler>`_ in the next chapter. Also note that
-the code is very literally transcribed, no optimizations are being
-performed. We will `add
-optimizations <OCamlLangImpl4.html#trivial-constant-folding>`_ explicitly in the
-next chapter.
-
-::
-
- ready> def foo(a b) a*a + 2*a*b + b*b;
- Read function definition:
- define double @foo(double %a, double %b) {
- entry:
- %multmp = fmul double %a, %a
- %multmp1 = fmul double 2.000000e+00, %a
- %multmp2 = fmul double %multmp1, %b
- %addtmp = fadd double %multmp, %multmp2
- %multmp3 = fmul double %b, %b
- %addtmp4 = fadd double %addtmp, %multmp3
- ret double %addtmp4
- }
-
-This shows some simple arithmetic. Notice the striking similarity to the
-LLVM builder calls that we use to create the instructions.
-
-::
-
- ready> def bar(a) foo(a, 4.0) + bar(31337);
- Read function definition:
- define double @bar(double %a) {
- entry:
- %calltmp = call double @foo(double %a, double 4.000000e+00)
- %calltmp1 = call double @bar(double 3.133700e+04)
- %addtmp = fadd double %calltmp, %calltmp1
- ret double %addtmp
- }
-
-This shows some function calls. Note that this function will take a long
-time to execute if you call it. In the future we'll add conditional
-control flow to actually make recursion useful :).
-
-::
-
- ready> extern cos(x);
- Read extern:
- declare double @cos(double)
-
- ready> cos(1.234);
- Read top-level expression:
- define double @""() {
- entry:
- %calltmp = call double @cos(double 1.234000e+00)
- ret double %calltmp
- }
-
-This shows an extern for the libm "cos" function, and a call to it.
-
-::
-
- ready> ^D
- ; ModuleID = 'my cool jit'
-
- define double @""() {
- entry:
- %addtmp = fadd double 4.000000e+00, 5.000000e+00
- ret double %addtmp
- }
-
- define double @foo(double %a, double %b) {
- entry:
- %multmp = fmul double %a, %a
- %multmp1 = fmul double 2.000000e+00, %a
- %multmp2 = fmul double %multmp1, %b
- %addtmp = fadd double %multmp, %multmp2
- %multmp3 = fmul double %b, %b
- %addtmp4 = fadd double %addtmp, %multmp3
- ret double %addtmp4
- }
-
- define double @bar(double %a) {
- entry:
- %calltmp = call double @foo(double %a, double 4.000000e+00)
- %calltmp1 = call double @bar(double 3.133700e+04)
- %addtmp = fadd double %calltmp, %calltmp1
- ret double %addtmp
- }
-
- declare double @cos(double)
-
- define double @""() {
- entry:
- %calltmp = call double @cos(double 1.234000e+00)
- ret double %calltmp
- }
-
-When you quit the current demo, it dumps out the IR for the entire
-module generated. Here you can see the big picture with all the
-functions referencing each other.
-
-This wraps up the third chapter of the Kaleidoscope tutorial. Up next,
-we'll describe how to `add JIT codegen and optimizer
-support <OCamlLangImpl4.html>`_ to this so we can actually start running
-code!
-
-Full Code Listing

-the LLVM code generator. Because this uses the LLVM libraries, we need
