functional language makes it very easy to build LLVM IR directly in <a
href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_single_assignment_form">SSA form</a>.
Since LLVM requires that the input code be in SSA form, this is a very nice
property and it is often unclear to newcomers how to generate code for an
(cond_true/cond_false). In order to merge the incoming values, the X.2 phi node
in the cond_next block selects the right value to use based on where control
flow is coming from: if control flow comes from the cond_false block, X.2 gets
-the value of X.1. Alternatively, if control flow comes from cond_tree, it gets
+the value of X.1. Alternatively, if control flow comes from cond_true, it gets
the value of X.0. The intent of this chapter is not to explain the details of
SSA form. For more information, see one of the many <a

references</a>.</p>

assignments to mutable variables?". The issue here is that LLVM
<em>requires</em> that its IR be in SSA form: there is no "non-ssa" mode for it.
However, SSA construction requires non-trivial algorithms and data structures,
in SSA form, it does not require (or permit) memory objects to be in SSA form.
In the example above, note that the loads from G and H are direct accesses to
G and H: they are not renamed or versioned. This differs from some other
-compiler systems, which does try to version memory objects. In LLVM, instead of
+compiler systems, which do try to version memory objects. In LLVM, instead of
encoding dataflow analysis of memory into the LLVM IR, it is handled with <a
href="../WritingAnLLVMPass.html">Analysis Passes</a> which are computed on
demand.</p>
</p>
<p>In LLVM, all memory accesses are explicit with load/store instructions, and
-it is carefully designed to not have (or need) an "address-of" operator. Notice
+it is carefully designed not to have (or need) an "address-of" operator. Notice
how the type of the @G/@H global variables is actually "i32*" even though the
variable is defined as "i32". What this means is that @G defines <em>space</em>
for an i32 in the global data area, but its <em>name</em> actually refers to the
-address for that space. Stack variables work the same way, but instead of being
-declared with global variable definitions, they are declared with the
+address for that space. Stack variables work the same way, except that instead of
+being declared with global variable definitions, they are declared with the
<a href="../LangRef.html#i_alloca">LLVM alloca instruction</a>:</p>
<div class="doc_code">
<pre>
-define i32 @test(i1 %Condition) {
+define i32 @example() {
entry:
%X = alloca i32 ; type of %X is i32*.
...
ret i32 %X.01
}
</pre>

+
+<p>The mem2reg pass implements the standard "iterated dominance frontier"
+algorithm for constructing SSA form and has a number of optimizations that speed
+up (very common) degenerate cases. The mem2reg optimization pass is the answer to dealing
+with mutable variables, and we highly recommend that you depend on it. Note that
+mem2reg only works on variables in certain circumstances:</p>
+
+<ol>
+<li>mem2reg is alloca-driven: it looks for allocas and if it can handle them, it
+promotes them. It does not apply to global variables or heap allocations.</li>
+
+<li>mem2reg only looks for alloca instructions in the entry block of the
+function. Being in the entry block guarantees that the alloca is only executed
+once, which makes analysis simpler.</li>
+
+<li>mem2reg only promotes allocas whose uses are direct loads and stores. If
+the address of the stack object is passed to a function, or if any funny pointer
+arithmetic is involved, the alloca will not be promoted.</li>
+
+<li>mem2reg only works on allocas of <a
+href="../LangRef.html#t_classifications">first class</a>
+values (such as pointers, scalars and vectors), and only if the array size
+of the allocation is 1 (or missing in the .ll file). mem2reg is not capable of
+promoting structs or arrays to registers. Note that the "scalarrepl" pass is
+more powerful and can promote structs, "unions", and arrays in many cases.</li>
+
+</ol>
+
+<p>
+All of these properties are easy to satisfy for most imperative languages, and
+we'll illustrate it below with Kaleidoscope. The final question you may be
+asking is: should I bother with this nonsense for my front-end? Wouldn't it be
+better if I just did SSA construction directly, avoiding use of the mem2reg
+optimization pass? In short, we strongly recommend that you use this technique
+for building SSA form, unless there is an extremely good reason not to. Using
+this technique is:</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li>Proven and well tested: llvm-gcc and clang both use this technique for local
+mutable variables. As such, the most common clients of LLVM are using this to
+handle a bulk of their variables. You can be sure that bugs are found fast and
+fixed early.</li>
+
+<li>Extremely Fast: mem2reg has a number of special cases that make it fast in
+common cases as well as fully general. For example, it has fast-paths for
+variables that are only used in a single block, variables that only have one
+assignment point, good heuristics to avoid insertion of unneeded phi nodes, etc.
+</li>
+
+<li>Needed for debug info generation: <a href="../SourceLevelDebugging.html">
+Debug information in LLVM</a> relies on having the address of the variable
+exposed so that debug info can be attached to it. This technique dovetails
+very naturally with this style of debug info.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>If nothing else, this makes it much easier to get your front-end up and
+running, and is very simple to implement. Lets extend Kaleidoscope with mutable
+variables now!

+
+<p>Now that we know the sort of problem we want to tackle, lets see what this
+looks like in the context of our little Kaleidoscope language. We're going to
+add two features:</p>
+
+<ol>
+<li>The ability to mutate variables with the '=' operator.</li>
+<li>The ability to define new variables.</li>
+</ol>
+
+<p>While the first item is really what this is about, we only have variables
+for incoming arguments as well as for induction variables, and redefining those only
+goes so far :). Also, the ability to define new variables is a
+useful thing regardless of whether you will be mutating them. Here's a
+motivating example that shows how we could use these:</p>
+
+<div class="doc_code">
+<pre>
+# Define ':' for sequencing: as a low-precedence operator that ignores operands
+# and just returns the RHS.
+def binary : 1 (x y) y;
+
+# Recursive fib, we could do this before.
+def fib(x)
+ if (x < 3) then
+ 1
+ else
+ fib(x-1)+fib(x-2);
+
+# Iterative fib.
+def fibi(x)
+ <b>var a = 1, b = 1, c in</b>
+ (for i = 3, i < x in
+ <b>c = a + b</b> :
+ <b>a = b</b> :
+ <b>b = c</b>) :
+ b;
+
+# Call it.
+fibi(10);
+</pre>
+</div>
+
+<p>
+In order to mutate variables, we have to change our existing variables to use
+the "alloca trick". Once we have that, we'll add our new operator, then extend
+Kaleidoscope to support new variable definitions.
+</p>
+

+
+<p>
+The symbol table in Kaleidoscope is managed at code generation time by the
+'<tt>NamedValues</tt>' map. This map currently keeps track of the LLVM "Value*"
+that holds the double value for the named variable. In order to support
+mutation, we need to change this slightly, so that it <tt>NamedValues</tt> holds
+the <em>memory location</em> of the variable in question. Note that this
+change is a refactoring: it changes the structure of the code, but does not
+(by itself) change the behavior of the compiler. All of these changes are
+isolated in the Kaleidoscope code generator.</p>
+
+<p>
+At this point in Kaleidoscope's development, it only supports variables for two
+things: incoming arguments to functions and the induction variable of 'for'
+loops. For consistency, we'll allow mutation of these variables in addition to
+other user-defined variables. This means that these will both need memory
+locations.
+</p>
+
+<p>To start our transformation of Kaleidoscope, we'll change the NamedValues
+map so that it maps to AllocaInst* instead of Value*. Once we do this, the C++
+compiler will tell us what parts of the code we need to update:</p>
+
+<div class="doc_code">
+<pre>
+static std::map<std::string, AllocaInst*> NamedValues;
+</pre>
+</div>
+
+<p>Also, since we will need to create these alloca's, we'll use a helper
+function that ensures that the allocas are created in the entry block of the
+function:</p>
+
+<div class="doc_code">
+<pre>
+/// CreateEntryBlockAlloca - Create an alloca instruction in the entry block of
+/// the function. This is used for mutable variables etc.
+static AllocaInst *CreateEntryBlockAlloca(Function *TheFunction,
+ const std::string &VarName) {
+ IRBuilder<> TmpB(&TheFunction->getEntryBlock(),
+ TheFunction->getEntryBlock().begin());
+ return TmpB.CreateAlloca(Type::getDoubleTy(getGlobalContext()), 0,
+ VarName.c_str());
+}
+</pre>
+</div>
+
+<p>This funny looking code creates an IRBuilder object that is pointing at
+the first instruction (.begin()) of the entry block. It then creates an alloca
+with the expected name and returns it. Because all values in Kaleidoscope are
+doubles, there is no need to pass in a type to use.</p>
+
+<p>With this in place, the first functionality change we want to make is to
+variable references. In our new scheme, variables live on the stack, so code
+generating a reference to them actually needs to produce a load from the stack
+slot:</p>
+
+<div class="doc_code">
+<pre>
+Value *VariableExprAST::Codegen() {
+ // Look this variable up in the function.
+ Value *V = NamedValues[Name];
+ if (V == 0) return ErrorV("Unknown variable name");
+
+ <b>// Load the value.
+ return Builder.CreateLoad(V, Name.c_str());</b>
+}
+</pre>
+</div>
+
+<p>As you can see, this is pretty straightforward. Now we need to update the
+things that define the variables to set up the alloca. We'll start with
+<tt>ForExprAST::Codegen</tt> (see the <a href="#code">full code listing</a> for
+the unabridged code):</p>
+
+<div class="doc_code">
+<pre>
+ Function *TheFunction = Builder.GetInsertBlock()->getParent();
+
+ <b>// Create an alloca for the variable in the entry block.
+ AllocaInst *Alloca = CreateEntryBlockAlloca(TheFunction, VarName);</b>
+
+ // Emit the start code first, without 'variable' in scope.
+ Value *StartVal = Start->Codegen();
+ if (StartVal == 0) return 0;
+
+ <b>// Store the value into the alloca.
+ Builder.CreateStore(StartVal, Alloca);</b>
+ ...
+
+ // Compute the end condition.
+ Value *EndCond = End->Codegen();
+ if (EndCond == 0) return EndCond;
+
+ <b>// Reload, increment, and restore the alloca. This handles the case where
+ // the body of the loop mutates the variable.
+ Value *CurVar = Builder.CreateLoad(Alloca);
+ Value *NextVar = Builder.CreateAdd(CurVar, StepVal, "nextvar");
+ Builder.CreateStore(NextVar, Alloca);</b>
+ ...
+</pre>
+</div>
+
+<p>This code is virtually identical to the code <a
+href="LangImpl5.html#forcodegen">before we allowed mutable variables</a>. The
+big difference is that we no longer have to construct a PHI node, and we use
+load/store to access the variable as needed.</p>
+
+<p>To support mutable argument variables, we need to also make allocas for them.
+The code for this is also pretty simple:</p>
+
+<div class="doc_code">
+<pre>
+/// CreateArgumentAllocas - Create an alloca for each argument and register the
+/// argument in the symbol table so that references to it will succeed.
+void PrototypeAST::CreateArgumentAllocas(Function *F) {
+ Function::arg_iterator AI = F->arg_begin();
+ for (unsigned Idx = 0, e = Args.size(); Idx != e; ++Idx, ++AI) {
+ // Create an alloca for this variable.
+ AllocaInst *Alloca = CreateEntryBlockAlloca(F, Args[Idx]);
+
+ // Store the initial value into the alloca.
+ Builder.CreateStore(AI, Alloca);
+
+ // Add arguments to variable symbol table.
+ NamedValues[Args[Idx]] = Alloca;
+ }
+}
+</pre>
+</div>
+
+<p>For each argument, we make an alloca, store the input value to the function
+into the alloca, and register the alloca as the memory location for the
+argument. This method gets invoked by <tt>FunctionAST::Codegen</tt> right after
+it sets up the entry block for the function.</p>
+
+<p>The final missing piece is adding the mem2reg pass, which allows us to get
+good codegen once again:</p>
+
+<div class="doc_code">
+<pre>
+ // Set up the optimizer pipeline. Start with registering info about how the
+ // target lays out data structures.
+ OurFPM.add(new TargetData(*TheExecutionEngine->getTargetData()));
+ <b>// Promote allocas to registers.
+ OurFPM.add(createPromoteMemoryToRegisterPass());</b>
+ // Do simple "peephole" optimizations and bit-twiddling optzns.
+ OurFPM.add(createInstructionCombiningPass());
+ // Reassociate expressions.
+ OurFPM.add(createReassociatePass());
+</pre>
+</div>
+
+<p>It is interesting to see what the code looks like before and after the
+mem2reg optimization runs. For example, this is the before/after code for our
+recursive fib function. Before the optimization:</p>
+
+<div class="doc_code">
+<pre>
+define double @fib(double %x) {
+entry:
+ <b>%x1 = alloca double
+ store double %x, double* %x1
+ %x2 = load double* %x1</b>
+ %cmptmp = fcmp ult double %x2, 3.000000e+00
+ %booltmp = uitofp i1 %cmptmp to double
+ %ifcond = fcmp one double %booltmp, 0.000000e+00
+ br i1 %ifcond, label %then, label %else
+
+then: ; preds = %entry
+ br label %ifcont
+
+else: ; preds = %entry
+ <b>%x3 = load double* %x1</b>
+ %subtmp = sub double %x3, 1.000000e+00
+ %calltmp = call double @fib( double %subtmp )
+ <b>%x4 = load double* %x1</b>
+ %subtmp5 = sub double %x4, 2.000000e+00
+ %calltmp6 = call double @fib( double %subtmp5 )
+ %addtmp = add double %calltmp, %calltmp6
+ br label %ifcont
+
+ifcont: ; preds = %else, %then
+ %iftmp = phi double [ 1.000000e+00, %then ], [ %addtmp, %else ]
+ ret double %iftmp
+}
+</pre>
+</div>
+
+<p>Here there is only one variable (x, the input argument) but you can still
+see the extremely simple-minded code generation strategy we are using. In the
+entry block, an alloca is created, and the initial input value is stored into
+it. Each reference to the variable does a reload from the stack. Also, note
+that we didn't modify the if/then/else expression, so it still inserts a PHI
+node. While we could make an alloca for it, it is actually easier to create a
+PHI node for it, so we still just make the PHI.</p>
+
+<p>Here is the code after the mem2reg pass runs:</p>
+
+<div class="doc_code">
+<pre>
+define double @fib(double %x) {
+entry:
+ %cmptmp = fcmp ult double <b>%x</b>, 3.000000e+00
+ %booltmp = uitofp i1 %cmptmp to double
+ %ifcond = fcmp one double %booltmp, 0.000000e+00
+ br i1 %ifcond, label %then, label %else
+
+then:
+ br label %ifcont
+
+else:
+ %subtmp = sub double <b>%x</b>, 1.000000e+00
+ %calltmp = call double @fib( double %subtmp )
+ %subtmp5 = sub double <b>%x</b>, 2.000000e+00
+ %calltmp6 = call double @fib( double %subtmp5 )
+ %addtmp = add double %calltmp, %calltmp6
+ br label %ifcont
+
+ifcont: ; preds = %else, %then
+ %iftmp = phi double [ 1.000000e+00, %then ], [ %addtmp, %else ]
+ ret double %iftmp
+}
+</pre>
+</div>
+
+<p>This is a trivial case for mem2reg, since there are no redefinitions of the
+variable. The point of showing this is to calm your tension about inserting
+such blatent inefficiencies :).</p>
+
+<p>After the rest of the optimizers run, we get:</p>
+
+<div class="doc_code">
+<pre>
+define double @fib(double %x) {
+entry:
+ %cmptmp = fcmp ult double %x, 3.000000e+00
+ %booltmp = uitofp i1 %cmptmp to double
+ %ifcond = fcmp ueq double %booltmp, 0.000000e+00
+ br i1 %ifcond, label %else, label %ifcont
+
+else:
+ %subtmp = sub double %x, 1.000000e+00
+ %calltmp = call double @fib( double %subtmp )
+ %subtmp5 = sub double %x, 2.000000e+00
+ %calltmp6 = call double @fib( double %subtmp5 )
+ %addtmp = add double %calltmp, %calltmp6
+ ret double %addtmp
+
+ifcont:
+ ret double 1.000000e+00
+}
+</pre>
+</div>
+
+<p>Here we see that the simplifycfg pass decided to clone the return instruction
+into the end of the 'else' block. This allowed it to eliminate some branches
+and the PHI node.</p>
+
+<p>Now that all symbol table references are updated to use stack variables,
+we'll add the assignment operator.</p>

+<div class="doc_section"><a name="assignment">New Assignment Operator</a></div>
+<!-- *********************************************************************** -->
+
+<div class="doc_text">
+
+<p>With our current framework, adding a new assignment operator is really
+simple. We will parse it just like any other binary operator, but handle it
+internally (instead of allowing the user to define it). The first step is to
+set a precedence:</p>
+
+<div class="doc_code">
+<pre>
+ int main() {
+ // Install standard binary operators.
+ // 1 is lowest precedence.
+ <b>BinopPrecedence['='] = 2;</b>
+ BinopPrecedence['<'] = 10;
+ BinopPrecedence['+'] = 20;
+ BinopPrecedence['-'] = 20;
+</pre>
+</div>
-which cases.
+<p>Now that the parser knows the precedence of the binary operator, it takes
+care of all the parsing and AST generation. We just need to implement codegen
+for the assignment operator. This looks like:</p>
+
+<div class="doc_code">
+<pre>
+Value *BinaryExprAST::Codegen() {
+ // Special case '=' because we don't want to emit the LHS as an expression.
+ if (Op == '=') {
+ // Assignment requires the LHS to be an identifier.
+ VariableExprAST *LHSE = dynamic_cast<VariableExprAST*>(LHS);
+ if (!LHSE)
+ return ErrorV("destination of '=' must be a variable");
+</pre>
+</div>
+
+<p>Unlike the rest of the binary operators, our assignment operator doesn't
+follow the "emit LHS, emit RHS, do computation" model. As such, it is handled
+as a special case before the other binary operators are handled. The other
+strange thing is that it requires the LHS to be a variable. It is invalid to
+have "(x+1) = expr" - only things like "x = expr" are allowed.
</p>
-<p>The final question you may be asking is: should I bother with this nonsense
-for my front-end? Wouldn't it be better if I just did SSA construction
-directly, avoiding use of the mem2reg optimization pass?
+<div class="doc_code">
+<pre>
+ // Codegen the RHS.
+ Value *Val = RHS->Codegen();
+ if (Val == 0) return 0;
+
+ // Look up the name.
+ Value *Variable = NamedValues[LHSE->getName()];
+ if (Variable == 0) return ErrorV("Unknown variable name");
+
+ Builder.CreateStore(Val, Variable);
+ return Val;
+ }
+ ...
+</pre>
+</div>
+
+<p>Once we have the variable, codegen'ing the assignment is straightforward:
+we emit the RHS of the assignment, create a store, and return the computed
+value. Returning a value allows for chained assignments like "X = (Y = Z)".</p>
-Proven, well tested, debug info, etc.
+<p>Now that we have an assignment operator, we can mutate loop variables and
+arguments. For example, we can now run code like this:</p>
+
+<div class="doc_code">
+<pre>
+# Function to print a double.
+extern printd(x);
+
+# Define ':' for sequencing: as a low-precedence operator that ignores operands
+# and just returns the RHS.
+def binary : 1 (x y) y;
+
+def test(x)
+ printd(x) :
+ x = 4 :
+ printd(x);
+
+test(123);
+</pre>
+</div>
+
+<p>When run, this example prints "123" and then "4", showing that we did
+actually mutate the value! Okay, we have now officially implemented our goal:
+getting this to work requires SSA construction in the general case. However,
+to be really useful, we want the ability to define our own local variables, lets
+add this next!

+
+<p>Adding var/in is just like any other other extensions we made to
+Kaleidoscope: we extend the lexer, the parser, the AST and the code generator.
+The first step for adding our new 'var/in' construct is to extend the lexer.
+As before, this is pretty trivial, the code looks like this:</p>
+
+<div class="doc_code">
+<pre>
+enum Token {
+ ...
+ <b>// var definition
+ tok_var = -13</b>
+...
+}
+...
+static int gettok() {
+...
+ if (IdentifierStr == "in") return tok_in;
+ if (IdentifierStr == "binary") return tok_binary;
+ if (IdentifierStr == "unary") return tok_unary;
+ <b>if (IdentifierStr == "var") return tok_var;</b>
+ return tok_identifier;
+...
+</pre>
+</div>
+
+<p>The next step is to define the AST node that we will construct. For var/in,
+it looks like this:</p>
+
+<div class="doc_code">
+<pre>
+/// VarExprAST - Expression class for var/in
+class VarExprAST : public ExprAST {
+ std::vector<std::pair<std::string, ExprAST*> > VarNames;
+ ExprAST *Body;
+public:
+ VarExprAST(const std::vector<std::pair<std::string, ExprAST*> > &varnames,
+ ExprAST *body)
+ : VarNames(varnames), Body(body) {}
+
+ virtual Value *Codegen();
+};
+</pre>
+</div>
+
+<p>var/in allows a list of names to be defined all at once, and each name can
+optionally have an initializer value. As such, we capture this information in
+the VarNames vector. Also, var/in has a body, this body is allowed to access
+the variables defined by the var/in.</p>
+
+<p>With this in place, we can define the parser pieces. The first thing we do is add
+it as a primary expression:</p>
+

+

+ return Error("expected identifier after var");
+</pre>
+</div>
+
+<p>The first part of this code parses the list of identifier/expr pairs into the
+local <tt>VarNames</tt> vector.
+
+<div class="doc_code">
+<pre>
+ while (1) {

+</div>
+
+<p>Once all the variables are parsed, we then parse the body and create the

+

+
+ return new VarExprAST(VarNames, Body);
+}
+</pre>
+</div>
+
+<p>Now that we can parse and represent the code, we need to support emission of
+LLVM IR for it. This code starts out with:</p>
+
+<div class="doc_code">
+<pre>
+Value *VarExprAST::Codegen() {
+ std::vector<AllocaInst *> OldBindings;
+
+ Function *TheFunction = Builder.GetInsertBlock()->getParent();
+
+ // Register all variables and emit their initializer.
+ for (unsigned i = 0, e = VarNames.size(); i != e; ++i) {
+ const std::string &VarName = VarNames[i].first;
+ ExprAST *Init = VarNames[i].second;
+</pre>
+</div>
+
+<p>Basically it loops over all the variables, installing them one at a time.
+For each variable we put into the symbol table, we remember the previous value
+that we replace in OldBindings.</p>
+
+<div class="doc_code">
+<pre>
+ // Emit the initializer before adding the variable to scope, this prevents
+ // the initializer from referencing the variable itself, and permits stuff
+ // like this:
+ // var a = 1 in
+ // var a = a in ... # refers to outer 'a'.
+ Value *InitVal;
+ if (Init) {
+ InitVal = Init->Codegen();
+ if (InitVal == 0) return 0;
+ } else { // If not specified, use 0.0.
+ InitVal = ConstantFP::get(getGlobalContext(), APFloat(0.0));
+ }
+
+ AllocaInst *Alloca = CreateEntryBlockAlloca(TheFunction, VarName);
+ Builder.CreateStore(InitVal, Alloca);
+
+ // Remember the old variable binding so that we can restore the binding when
+ // we unrecurse.
+ OldBindings.push_back(NamedValues[VarName]);
+
+ // Remember this binding.
+ NamedValues[VarName] = Alloca;
+ }
+</pre>
+</div>
+
+<p>There are more comments here than code. The basic idea is that we emit the
+initializer, create the alloca, then update the symbol table to point to it.
+Once all the variables are installed in the symbol table, we evaluate the body
+of the var/in expression:</p>
+
+<div class="doc_code">
+<pre>
+ // Codegen the body, now that all vars are in scope.
+ Value *BodyVal = Body->Codegen();
+ if (BodyVal == 0) return 0;
+</pre>
+</div>
+
+<p>Finally, before returning, we restore the previous variable bindings:</p>
+
+<div class="doc_code">
+<pre>
+ // Pop all our variables from scope.
+ for (unsigned i = 0, e = VarNames.size(); i != e; ++i)
+ NamedValues[VarNames[i].first] = OldBindings[i];
+
+ // Return the body computation.
+ return BodyVal;
+}
+</pre>
+</div>
+
+<p>The end result of all of this is that we get properly scoped variable
+definitions, and we even (trivially) allow mutation of them :).</p>
+
+<p>With this, we completed what we set out to do. Our nice iterative fib
+example from the intro compiles and runs just fine. The mem2reg pass optimizes
+all of our stack variables into SSA registers, inserting PHI nodes where needed,
+and our front-end remains simple: no "iterated dominance frontier" computation
+anywhere in sight.</p>
