Make librustc_codegen_llvm aware of LLVM address spaces. #51576

@DiamondLovesYou DiamondLovesYou commented Jun 15, 2018

In order to not require overloading functions based on their argument's address
space (among other things), we require the presence of a "flat" (ie an address
space which is shared with every other address space) address space.

This isn't exposed in any way to Rust code. This just makes Rust compatible with
LLVM target machines which, for example, place allocas in a different address
space. amdgcn-amd-amdhsa-amdgiz is a specific example, which places allocas in
address space 5 or the private (at the work item level) address space. This
includes working with nonuniform sized pointers.

There should be no need for this here as AFAICT it's always globally set, we never do anything but pass it in from config.llvm_dump_enabled.

rustc_target shouldn't have any dependencies on the compiler, so hopefully this is unused.

It is used for custom address space names.

If this is common, wouldn't a replacement for pointercast that only casts the pointee, but preserves the AS, be better?

Instead of having a method to retrieve a specific AS and then another to create a pointer type, why not have e.g. .alloca_ptr_to(cx) or .ptr_to(cx, AddrSpaceKind::Alloca) (okay, the latter is a bit long).

By "dst" you mean "slice (length)"? Also, I should note this doesn't necessarily work.
The pair could just as well be (&T, &U) where T: Sized, U: Sized.

A better approach might be to pass something extra to scalar_pair_element_llvm_type. Same for everything else, really.

There shouldn't be that many calls, making this non-optional (and using AddrSpaceKind) would be better IMO.

I think this is worse, because it incurs extra branching. Might as well switch it to String.

Accidentally included. Was created when I was trying to figure out how to work with the AMDGPU target machine. I tried having every function be the amdgpu kernel abi, which doesn't allow non-void return types.

We need the address space of the global for the global's LLVM type, meaning it needs to compute the same address space as consts::codegen_static.

At the time, I wasn't aware of a better way, but the next version now does what MonoItemExt::define does.

pub fn is_vector(&self) -> bool { self.kind() == llvm::TypeKind::Vector }

I don't see how any of the code around read-only and read-write global address spaces, actually works. Why are vtable pointers different from any other pointer?
If there is a flat address space, why isn't it used more often? Some documentation would help.

I hope there is a simpler way to support the target platform you want.
