Chapter 5 Introduction
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
Welcome to Chapter 5 of the "`Implementing a language with
|
|
LLVM <index.html>`_" tutorial. Parts 1-4 described the implementation of
|
|
the simple Kaleidoscope language and included support for generating
|
|
LLVM IR, followed by optimizations and a JIT compiler. Unfortunately, as
|
|
presented, Kaleidoscope is mostly useless: it has no control flow other
|
|
than call and return. This means that you can't have conditional
|
|
branches in the code, significantly limiting its power. In this episode
|
|
of "build that compiler", we'll extend Kaleidoscope to have an
|
|
if/then/else expression plus a simple 'for' loop.
|
|
|
|
If/Then/Else
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
Extending Kaleidoscope to support if/then/else is quite straightforward.
|
|
It basically requires adding lexer support for this "new" concept to the
|
|
lexer, parser, AST, and LLVM code emitter. This example is nice, because
|
|
it shows how easy it is to "grow" a language over time, incrementally
|
|
extending it as new ideas are discovered.
|
|
|
|
Before we get going on "how" we add this extension, lets talk about
|
|
"what" we want. The basic idea is that we want to be able to write this
|
|
sort of thing:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
def fib(x)
|
|
if x < 3 then
|
|
1
|
|
else
|
|
fib(x-1)+fib(x-2);
|
|
|
|
In Kaleidoscope, every construct is an expression: there are no
|
|
statements. As such, the if/then/else expression needs to return a value
|
|
like any other. Since we're using a mostly functional form, we'll have
|
|
it evaluate its conditional, then return the 'then' or 'else' value
|
|
based on how the condition was resolved. This is very similar to the C
|
|
"?:" expression.
|
|
|
|
The semantics of the if/then/else expression is that it evaluates the
|
|
condition to a boolean equality value: 0.0 is considered to be false and
|
|
everything else is considered to be true. If the condition is true, the
|
|
first subexpression is evaluated and returned, if the condition is
|
|
false, the second subexpression is evaluated and returned. Since
|
|
Kaleidoscope allows side-effects, this behavior is important to nail
|
|
down.
|
|
|
|
Now that we know what we "want", lets break this down into its
|
|
constituent pieces.
|
|
|
|
Lexer Extensions for If/Then/Else
|
|
---------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The lexer extensions are straightforward. First we add new variants for
|
|
the relevant tokens:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: ocaml
|
|
|
|
(* control *)
|
|
| If | Then | Else | For | In
|
|
|
|
Once we have that, we recognize the new keywords in the lexer. This is
|
|
pretty simple stuff:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: ocaml
|
|
|
|
...
|
|
match Buffer.contents buffer with
|
|
| "def" -> [< 'Token.Def; stream >]
|
|
| "extern" -> [< 'Token.Extern; stream >]
|
|
| "if" -> [< 'Token.If; stream >]
|
|
| "then" -> [< 'Token.Then; stream >]
|
|
| "else" -> [< 'Token.Else; stream >]
|
|
| "for" -> [< 'Token.For; stream >]
|
|
| "in" -> [< 'Token.In; stream >]
|
|
| id -> [< 'Token.Ident id; stream >]
|
|
|
|
AST Extensions for If/Then/Else
|
|
-------------------------------
|
|
|
|
To represent the new expression we add a new AST variant for it:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: ocaml
|
|
|
|
type expr =
|
|
...
|
|
(* variant for if/then/else. *)
|
|
| If of expr * expr * expr
|
|
|
|
The AST variant just has pointers to the various subexpressions.
|
|
|
|
Parser Extensions for If/Then/Else
|
|
----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Now that we have the relevant tokens coming from the lexer and we have
|
|
the AST node to build, our parsing logic is relatively straightforward.
|
|
Next we add a new case for parsing a if-expression as a primary expression:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: ocaml
|
|
|
|
let rec parse_primary = parser
|
|
...
|
|
(* ifexpr ::= 'if' expr 'then' expr 'else' expr *)
|
|
| [< 'Token.If; c=parse_expr;
|
|
'Token.Then ?? "expected 'then'"; t=parse_expr;
|
|
'Token.Else ?? "expected 'else'"; e=parse_expr >] ->
|
|
Ast.If (c, t, e)
|
|
|
|
LLVM IR for If/Then/Else
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
Now that we have it parsing and building the AST, the final piece is
|
|
adding LLVM code generation support. This is the most interesting part
|
|
of the if/then/else example, because this is where it starts to
|
|
introduce new concepts. All of the code above has been thoroughly
|
|
described in previous chapters.
|
|
|
|
To motivate the code we want to produce, lets take a look at a simple
|
|
example. Consider:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
extern foo();
|
|
extern bar();
|
|
def baz(x) if x then foo() else bar();
|
|
|
|
If you disable optimizations, the code you'll (soon) get from
|
|
Kaleidoscope looks like this:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: llvm
|
|
|
|
declare double @foo()
|
|
|
|
declare double @bar()
|
|
|
|
define double @baz(double %x) {
|
|
entry:
|
|
%ifcond = fcmp one double %x, 0.000000e+00
|
|
br i1 %ifcond, label %then, label %else
|
|
|
|
then: ; preds = %entry
|
|
%calltmp = call double @foo()
|
|
br label %ifcont
|
|
|
|
else: ; preds = %entry
|
|
%calltmp1 = call double @bar()
|
|
br label %ifcont
|
|
|
|
ifcont: ; preds = %else, %then
|
|
%iftmp = phi double [ %calltmp, %then ], [ %calltmp1, %else ]
|
|
ret double %iftmp
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
To visualize the control flow graph, you can use a nifty feature of the
|
|
LLVM '`opt <https://llvm.org/cmds/opt.html>`_' tool. If you put this LLVM
|
|
IR into "t.ll" and run "``llvm-as < t.ll | opt -analyze -view-cfg``", `a
|
|
window will pop up <../ProgrammersManual.html#viewing-graphs-while-debugging-code>`_ and you'll
|
|
see this graph:
|
|
|
|
.. figure:: MyFirstLanguageFrontend/LangImpl05-cfg.png
|
|
:align: center
|
|
:alt: Example CFG
|
|
|
|
Example CFG
|
|
|
|
Another way to get this is to call
|
|
"``Llvm_analysis.view_function_cfg f``" or
|
|
"``Llvm_analysis.view_function_cfg_only f``" (where ``f`` is a
|
|
"``Function``") either by inserting actual calls into the code and
|
|
recompiling or by calling these in the debugger. LLVM has many nice
|
|
features for visualizing various graphs.
|
|
|
|
Getting back to the generated code, it is fairly simple: the entry block
|
|
evaluates the conditional expression ("x" in our case here) and compares
|
|
the result to 0.0 with the "``fcmp one``" instruction ('one' is "Ordered
|
|
and Not Equal"). Based on the result of this expression, the code jumps
|
|
to either the "then" or "else" blocks, which contain the expressions for
|
|
the true/false cases.
|
|
|
|
Once the then/else blocks are finished executing, they both branch back
|
|
to the 'ifcont' block to execute the code that happens after the
|
|
if/then/else. In this case the only thing left to do is to return to the
|
|
caller of the function. The question then becomes: how does the code
|
|
know which expression to return?
|
|
|
|
The answer to this question involves an important SSA operation: the
|
|
`Phi
|
|
operation <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_single_assignment_form>`_.
|
|
If you're not familiar with SSA, `the wikipedia
|
|
article <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_single_assignment_form>`_
|
|
is a good introduction and there are various other introductions to it
|
|
available on your favorite search engine. The short version is that
|
|
"execution" of the Phi operation requires "remembering" which block
|
|
control came from. The Phi operation takes on the value corresponding to
|
|
the input control block. In this case, if control comes in from the
|
|
"then" block, it gets the value of "calltmp". If control comes from the
|
|
"else" block, it gets the value of "calltmp1".
|
|
|
|
At this point, you are probably starting to think "Oh no! This means my
|
|
simple and elegant front-end will have to start generating SSA form in
|
|
order to use LLVM!". Fortunately, this is not the case, and we strongly
|
|
advise *not* implementing an SSA construction algorithm in your
|
|
front-end unless there is an amazingly good reason to do so. In
|
|
practice, there are two sorts of values that float around in code
|
|
written for your average imperative programming language that might need
|
|
Phi nodes:
|
|
|
|
#. Code that involves user variables: ``x = 1; x = x + 1;``
|
|
#. Values that are implicit in the structure of your AST, such as the
|
|
Phi node in this case.
|
|
|
|
In `Chapter 7 <OCamlLangImpl7.html>`_ of this tutorial ("mutable
|
|
variables"), we'll talk about #1 in depth. For now, just believe me that
|
|
you don't need SSA construction to handle this case. For #2, you have
|
|
the choice of using the techniques that we will describe for #1, or you
|
|
can insert Phi nodes directly, if convenient. In this case, it is really
|
|
really easy to generate the Phi node, so we choose to do it directly.
|
|
|
|
Okay, enough of the motivation and overview, lets generate code!
|
|
|
|
Code Generation for If/Then/Else
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
|
|
In order to generate code for this, we implement the ``Codegen`` method
|
|
for ``IfExprAST``:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: ocaml
|
|
|
|
let rec codegen_expr = function
|
|
...
|
|
| Ast.If (cond, then_, else_) ->
|
|
let cond = codegen_expr cond in
|
|
|
|
(* Convert condition to a bool by comparing equal to 0.0 *)
|
|
let zero = const_float double_type 0.0 in
|
|
let cond_val = build_fcmp Fcmp.One cond zero "ifcond" builder in
|
|
|
|
This code is straightforward and similar to what we saw before. We emit
|
|
the expression for the condition, then compare that value to zero to get
|
|
a truth value as a 1-bit (bool) value.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: ocaml
|
|
|
|
(* Grab the first block so that we might later add the conditional branch
|
|
* to it at the end of the function. *)
|
|
let start_bb = insertion_block builder in
|
|
let the_function = block_parent start_bb in
|
|
|
|
let then_bb = append_block context "then" the_function in
|
|
position_at_end then_bb builder;
|
|
|
|
As opposed to the `C++ tutorial <LangImpl05.html>`_, we have to build our
|
|
basic blocks bottom up since we can't have dangling BasicBlocks. We
|
|
start off by saving a pointer to the first block (which might not be the
|
|
entry block), which we'll need to build a conditional branch later. We
|
|
do this by asking the ``builder`` for the current BasicBlock. The fourth
|
|
line gets the current Function object that is being built. It gets this
|
|
by the ``start_bb`` for its "parent" (the function it is currently
|
|
embedded into).
|
|
|
|
Once it has that, it creates one block. It is automatically appended
|
|
into the function's list of blocks.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: ocaml
|
|
|
|
(* Emit 'then' value. *)
|
|
position_at_end then_bb builder;
|
|
let then_val = codegen_expr then_ in
|
|
|
|
(* Codegen of 'then' can change the current block, update then_bb for the
|
|
* phi. We create a new name because one is used for the phi node, and the
|
|
* other is used for the conditional branch. *)
|
|
let new_then_bb = insertion_block builder in
|
|
|
|
We move the builder to start inserting into the "then" block. Strictly
|
|
speaking, this call moves the insertion point to be at the end of the
|
|
specified block. However, since the "then" block is empty, it also
|
|
starts out by inserting at the beginning of the block. :)
|
|
|
|
Once the insertion point is set, we recursively codegen the "then"
|
|
expression from the AST.
|
|
|
|
The final line here is quite subtle, but is very important. The basic
|
|
issue is that when we create the Phi node in the merge block, we need to
|
|
set up the block/value pairs that indicate how the Phi will work.
|
|
Importantly, the Phi node expects to have an entry for each predecessor
|
|
of the block in the CFG. Why then, are we getting the current block when
|
|
we just set it to ThenBB 5 lines above? The problem is that the "Then"
|
|
expression may actually itself change the block that the Builder is
|
|
emitting into if, for example, it contains a nested "if/then/else"
|
|
expression. Because calling Codegen recursively could arbitrarily change
|
|
the notion of the current block, we are required to get an up-to-date
|
|
value for code that will set up the Phi node.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: ocaml
|
|
|
|
(* Emit 'else' value. *)
|
|
let else_bb = append_block context "else" the_function in
|
|
position_at_end else_bb builder;
|
|
let else_val = codegen_expr else_ in
|
|
|
|
(* Codegen of 'else' can change the current block, update else_bb for the
|
|
* phi. *)
|
|
let new_else_bb = insertion_block builder in
|
|
|
|
Code generation for the 'else' block is basically identical to codegen
|
|
for the 'then' block.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: ocaml
|
|
|
|
(* Emit merge block. *)
|
|
let merge_bb = append_block context "ifcont" the_function in
|
|
position_at_end merge_bb builder;
|
|
let incoming = [(then_val, new_then_bb); (else_val, new_else_bb)] in
|
|
let phi = build_phi incoming "iftmp" builder in
|
|
|
|
The first two lines here are now familiar: the first adds the "merge"
|
|
block to the Function object. The second changes the insertion
|
|
point so that newly created code will go into the "merge" block. Once
|
|
that is done, we need to create the PHI node and set up the block/value
|
|
pairs for the PHI.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: ocaml
|
|
|
|
(* Return to the start block to add the conditional branch. *)
|
|
position_at_end start_bb builder;
|
|
ignore (build_cond_br cond_val then_bb else_bb builder);
|
|
|
|
Once the blocks are created, we can emit the conditional branch that
|
|
chooses between them. Note that creating new blocks does not implicitly
|
|
affect the IRBuilder, so it is still inserting into the block that the
|
|
condition went into. This is why we needed to save the "start" block.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: ocaml
|
|
|
|
(* Set a unconditional branch at the end of the 'then' block and the
|
|
* 'else' block to the 'merge' block. *)
|
|
position_at_end new_then_bb builder; ignore (build_br merge_bb builder);
|
|
position_at_end new_else_bb builder; ignore (build_br merge_bb builder);
|
|
|
|
(* Finally, set the builder to the end of the merge block. *)
|
|
position_at_end merge_bb builder;
|
|
|
|
phi
|
|
|
|
To finish off the blocks, we create an unconditional branch to the merge
|
|
block. One interesting (and very important) aspect of the LLVM IR is
|
|
that it `requires all basic blocks to be
|
|
"terminated" <../LangRef.html#functionstructure>`_ with a `control flow
|
|
instruction <../LangRef.html#terminators>`_ such as return or branch.
|
|
This means that all control flow, *including fall throughs* must be made
|
|
explicit in the LLVM IR. If you violate this rule, the verifier will
|
|
emit an error.
|
|
|
|
Finally, the CodeGen function returns the phi node as the value computed
|
|
by the if/then/else expression. In our example above, this returned
|
|
value will feed into the code for the top-level function, which will
|
|
create the return instruction.
|
|
|
|
Overall, we now have the ability to execute conditional code in
|
|
Kaleidoscope. With this extension, Kaleidoscope is a fairly complete
|
|
language that can calculate a wide variety of numeric functions. Next up
|
|
we'll add another useful expression that is familiar from non-functional
|
|
languages...
|
|
|
|
'for' Loop Expression
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
Now that we know how to add basic control flow constructs to the
|
|
language, we have the tools to add more powerful things. Lets add
|
|
something more aggressive, a 'for' expression:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
extern putchard(char);
|
|
def printstar(n)
|
|
for i = 1, i < n, 1.0 in
|
|
putchard(42); # ascii 42 = '*'
|
|
|
|
# print 100 '*' characters
|
|
printstar(100);
|
|
|
|
This expression defines a new variable ("i" in this case) which iterates
|
|
from a starting value, while the condition ("i < n" in this case) is
|
|
true, incrementing by an optional step value ("1.0" in this case). If
|
|
the step value is omitted, it defaults to 1.0. While the loop is true,
|
|
it executes its body expression. Because we don't have anything better
|
|
to return, we'll just define the loop as always returning 0.0. In the
|
|
future when we have mutable variables, it will get more useful.
|
|
|
|
As before, lets talk about the changes that we need to Kaleidoscope to
|
|
support this.
|
|
|
|
Lexer Extensions for the 'for' Loop
|
|
-----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The lexer extensions are the same sort of thing as for if/then/else:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: ocaml
|
|
|
|
... in Token.token ...
|
|
(* control *)
|
|
| If | Then | Else
|
|
| For | In
|
|
|
|
... in Lexer.lex_ident...
|
|
match Buffer.contents buffer with
|
|
| "def" -> [< 'Token.Def; stream >]
|
|
| "extern" -> [< 'Token.Extern; stream >]
|
|
| "if" -> [< 'Token.If; stream >]
|
|
| "then" -> [< 'Token.Then; stream >]
|
|
| "else" -> [< 'Token.Else; stream >]
|
|
| "for" -> [< 'Token.For; stream >]
|
|
| "in" -> [< 'Token.In; stream >]
|
|
| id -> [< 'Token.Ident id; stream >]
|
|
|
|
AST Extensions for the 'for' Loop
|
|
---------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The AST variant is just as simple. It basically boils down to capturing
|
|
the variable name and the constituent expressions in the node.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: ocaml
|
|
|
|
type expr =
|
|
...
|
|
(* variant for for/in. *)
|
|
| For of string * expr * expr * expr option * expr
|
|
|
|
Parser Extensions for the 'for' Loop
|
|
------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The parser code is also fairly standard. The only interesting thing here
|
|
is handling of the optional step value. The parser code handles it by
|
|
checking to see if the second comma is present. If not, it sets the step
|
|
value to null in the AST node:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: ocaml
|
|
|
|
let rec parse_primary = parser
|
|
...
|
|
(* forexpr
|
|
::= 'for' identifier '=' expr ',' expr (',' expr)? 'in' expression *)
|
|
| [< 'Token.For;
|
|
'Token.Ident id ?? "expected identifier after for";
|
|
'Token.Kwd '=' ?? "expected '=' after for";
|
|
stream >] ->
|
|
begin parser
|
|
| [<
|
|
start=parse_expr;
|
|
'Token.Kwd ',' ?? "expected ',' after for";
|
|
end_=parse_expr;
|
|
stream >] ->
|
|
let step =
|
|
begin parser
|
|
| [< 'Token.Kwd ','; step=parse_expr >] -> Some step
|
|
| [< >] -> None
|
|
end stream
|
|
in
|
|
begin parser
|
|
| [< 'Token.In; body=parse_expr >] ->
|
|
Ast.For (id, start, end_, step, body)
|
|
| [< >] ->
|
|
raise (Stream.Error "expected 'in' after for")
|
|
end stream
|
|
| [< >] ->
|
|
raise (Stream.Error "expected '=' after for")
|
|
end stream
|
|
|
|
LLVM IR for the 'for' Loop
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
Now we get to the good part: the LLVM IR we want to generate for this
|
|
thing. With the simple example above, we get this LLVM IR (note that
|
|
this dump is generated with optimizations disabled for clarity):
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: llvm
|
|
|
|
declare double @putchard(double)
|
|
|
|
define double @printstar(double %n) {
|
|
entry:
|
|
; initial value = 1.0 (inlined into phi)
|
|
br label %loop
|
|
|
|
loop: ; preds = %loop, %entry
|
|
%i = phi double [ 1.000000e+00, %entry ], [ %nextvar, %loop ]
|
|
; body
|
|
%calltmp = call double @putchard(double 4.200000e+01)
|
|
; increment
|
|
%nextvar = fadd double %i, 1.000000e+00
|
|
|
|
; termination test

This loop contains all the same constructs we saw before: a phi node,
|
|
several expressions, and some basic blocks. Lets see how this fits
|
|
together.
|
|
|
|
Code Generation for the 'for' Loop
|
|
----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The first part of Codegen is very simple: we just output the start
|
|
expression for the loop value:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: ocaml
|
|
|
|
let rec codegen_expr = function
|
|
...
|
|
| Ast.For (var_name, start, end_, step, body) ->
|
|
(* Emit the start code first, without 'variable' in scope. *)
|
|
let start_val = codegen_expr start in
|
|
|
|
With this out of the way, the next step is to set up the LLVM basic
|
|
block for the start of the loop body. In the case above, the whole loop
|
|
body is one block, but remember that the body code itself could consist
|
|
of multiple blocks (e.g. if it contains an if/then/else or a for/in
|
|
expression).
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: ocaml
|
|
|
|
(* Make the new basic block for the loop header, inserting after current
|
|
* block. *)
|
|
let preheader_bb = insertion_block builder in
|
|
let the_function = block_parent preheader_bb in
|
|
let loop_bb = append_block context "loop" the_function in
|
|
|
|
(* Insert an explicit fall through from the current block to the
|
|
* loop_bb. *)
|
|
ignore (build_br loop_bb builder);
|
|
|
|
This code is similar to what we saw for if/then/else. Because we will
|
|
need it to create the Phi node, we remember the block that falls through
|
|
into the loop. Once we have that, we create the actual block that starts
|
|
the loop and create an unconditional branch for the fall-through between
|
|
the two blocks.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: ocaml
|
|
|
|
(* Start insertion in loop_bb. *)
|
|
position_at_end loop_bb builder;
|
|
|
|
(* Start the PHI node with an entry for start. *)
|
|
let variable = build_phi [(start_val, preheader_bb)] var_name builder in
|
|
|
|
Now that the "preheader" for the loop is set up, we switch to emitting
|
|
code for the loop body. To begin with, we move the insertion point and
|
|
create the PHI node for the loop induction variable. Since we already
|
|
know the incoming value for the starting value, we add it to the Phi
|
|
node. Note that the Phi will eventually get a second value for the
|
|
backedge, but we can't set it up yet (because it doesn't exist!).
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: ocaml
|
|
|
|
(* Within the loop, the variable is defined equal to the PHI node. If it
|
|
* shadows an existing variable, we have to restore it, so save it
|
|
* now. *)
|
|
let old_val =
|
|
try Some (Hashtbl.find named_values var_name) with Not_found -> None
|
|
in
|
|
Hashtbl.add named_values var_name variable;
|
|
|
|
(* Emit the body of the loop. This, like any other expr, can change the
|
|
* current BB. Note that we ignore the value computed by the body, but
|
|
* don't allow an error *)
|
|
ignore (codegen_expr body);
|
|
|
|
Now the code starts to get more interesting. Our 'for' loop introduces a
|
|
new variable to the symbol table. This means that our symbol table can
|
|
now contain either function arguments or loop variables. To handle this,
|
|
before we codegen the body of the loop, we add the loop variable as the
|
|
current value for its name. Note that it is possible that there is a
|
|
variable of the same name in the outer scope. It would be easy to make
|
|
this an error (emit an error and return null if there is already an
|
|
entry for VarName) but we choose to allow shadowing of variables. In
|
|
order to handle this correctly, we remember the Value that we are
|
|
potentially shadowing in ``old_val`` (which will be None if there is no
|
|
shadowed variable).
|
|
|
|
Once the loop variable is set into the symbol table, the code
|
|
recursively codegen's the body. This allows the body to use the loop
|
|
variable: any references to it will naturally find it in the symbol
|
|
table.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: ocaml
|
|
|
|
(* Emit the step value. *)
|
|
let step_val =
|
|
match step with
|
|
| Some step -> codegen_expr step
|
|
(* If not specified, use 1.0. *)
|
|
| None -> const_float double_type 1.0
|
|
in
|
|
|
|
let next_var = build_add variable step_val "nextvar" builder in
|
|
|
|
Now that the body is emitted, we compute the next value of the iteration
|
|
variable by adding the step value, or 1.0 if it isn't present.
|
|
'``next_var``' will be the value of the loop variable on the next
|
|
iteration of the loop.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: ocaml
|
|
|
|
(* Compute the end condition. *)
|
|
let end_cond = codegen_expr end_ in
|
|
|
|
(* Convert condition to a bool by comparing equal to 0.0. *)
|
|
let zero = const_float double_type 0.0 in
|
|
let end_cond = build_fcmp Fcmp.One end_cond zero "loopcond" builder in
|
|
|
|
Finally, we evaluate the exit value of the loop, to determine whether
|
|
the loop should exit. This mirrors the condition evaluation for the
|
|
if/then/else statement.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: ocaml
|
|
|
|
(* Create the "after loop" block and insert it. *)
|
|
let loop_end_bb = insertion_block builder in
|
|
let after_bb = append_block context "afterloop" the_function in
|
|
|
|
(* Insert the conditional branch into the end of loop_end_bb. *)
|
|
ignore (build_cond_br end_cond loop_bb after_bb builder);
|
|
|
|
(* Any new code will be inserted in after_bb. *)
|
|
position_at_end after_bb builder;
|
|
|
|
With the code for the body of the loop complete, we just need to finish
|
|
up the control flow for it. This code remembers the end block (for the
|
|
phi node), then creates the block for the loop exit ("afterloop"). Based
|
|
on the value of the exit condition, it creates a conditional branch that
|
|
chooses between executing the loop again and exiting the loop. Any
|
|
future code is emitted in the "afterloop" block, so it sets the
|
|
insertion position to it.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: ocaml
|
|
|
|
(* Add a new entry to the PHI node for the backedge. *)
|
|
add_incoming (next_var, loop_end_bb) variable;
|
|
|
|
(* Restore the unshadowed variable. *)
|
|
begin match old_val with
|
|
| Some old_val -> Hashtbl.add named_values var_name old_val
|
|
| None -> ()
|
|
end;
|
|
|
|
(* for expr always returns 0.0. *)
|
|
const_null double_type
|
|
|
|
The final code handles various cleanups: now that we have the
|
|
"``next_var``" value, we can add the incoming value to the loop PHI
|
|
node. After that, we remove the loop variable from the symbol table, so
|
|
that it isn't in scope after the for loop. Finally, code generation of
|
|
the for loop always returns 0.0, so that is what we return from
|
|
``Codegen.codegen_expr``.
|
|
|
|
With this, we conclude the "adding control flow to Kaleidoscope" chapter
|
|
of the tutorial. In this chapter we added two control flow constructs,
|
|
and used them to motivate a couple of aspects of the LLVM IR that are
|
|
important for front-end implementors to know. In the next chapter of our
|
|
saga, we will get a bit crazier and add `user-defined
|
|
operators <OCamlLangImpl6.html>`_ to our poor innocent language.
