<h2><a name="abstract">Abstract</a></h2>
<!-- *********************************************************************** -->
<div>
<p>This document is a reference manual for the LLVM assembly language. LLVM is
a Static Single Assignment (SSA) based representation that provides type
safety, low-level operations, flexibility, and the capability of representing
'all' high-level languages cleanly. It is the common code representation
used throughout all phases of the LLVM compilation strategy.</p>
</div>
<!-- *********************************************************************** -->
<h2><a name="introduction">Introduction</a></h2>
<!-- *********************************************************************** -->
<div>
<p>The LLVM code representation is designed to be used in three different forms:
as an in-memory compiler IR, as an on-disk bitcode representation (suitable
for fast loading by a Just-In-Time compiler), and as a human readable
assembly language representation. This allows LLVM to provide a powerful
intermediate representation for efficient compiler transformations and
analysis, while providing a natural means to debug and visualize the
transformations. The three different forms of LLVM are all equivalent. This
document describes the human readable representation and notation.</p>
<p>The LLVM representation aims to be light-weight and low-level while being
expressive, typed, and extensible at the same time. It aims to be a
"universal IR" of sorts, by being at a low enough level that high-level ideas
may be cleanly mapped to it (similar to how microprocessors are "universal
IR's", allowing many source languages to be mapped to them). By providing
type information, LLVM can be used as the target of optimizations: for
example, through pointer analysis, it can be proven that a C automatic
variable is never accessed outside of the current function, allowing it to
be promoted to a simple SSA value instead of a memory location.</p>
<!-- _______________________________________________________________________ -->
<h4>
<a name="wellformed">Well-Formedness</a>
</h4>
<div>
<p>It is important to note that this document describes 'well formed' LLVM
assembly language. There is a difference between what the parser accepts and
what is considered 'well formed'. For example, the following instruction is
syntactically okay, but not well formed:</p>
<pre class="doc_code">
%x = <a href="#i_add">add</a> i32 1, %x
</pre>
<p>because the definition of <tt>%x</tt> does not dominate all of its uses. The
LLVM infrastructure provides a verification pass that may be used to verify
that an LLVM module is well formed. This pass is automatically run by the
parser after parsing input assembly and by the optimizer before it outputs
bitcode. The violations pointed out by the verifier pass indicate bugs in
transformation passes or input to the parser.</p>
</div>
</div>
<!-- Describe the typesetting conventions here. -->
<!-- *********************************************************************** -->
<h2><a name="identifiers">Identifiers</a></h2>
<!-- *********************************************************************** -->
<div>
<p>LLVM identifiers come in two basic types: global and local. Global
identifiers (functions, global variables) begin with the <tt>'@'</tt>
character. Local identifiers (register names, types) begin with
the <tt>'%'</tt> character. Additionally, there are three different formats
for identifiers, for different purposes:</p>
<ol>
<li>Named values are represented as a string of characters with their prefix.
For example, <tt>%foo</tt>, <tt>@DivisionByZero</tt>,
<tt>%a.really.long.identifier</tt>. The actual regular expression used is
'<tt>[%@][a-zA-Z$._][a-zA-Z$._0-9]*</tt>'. Identifiers which require
other characters in their names can be surrounded with quotes. Special
characters may be escaped using <tt>"\xx"</tt> where <tt>xx</tt> is the
ASCII code for the character in hexadecimal. In this way, any character
can be used in a name value, even quotes themselves.</li>
<li>Unnamed values are represented as an unsigned numeric value with their
prefix. For example, <tt>%12</tt>, <tt>@2</tt>, <tt>%44</tt>.</li>
<li>Constants, which are described in a <a href="#constants">section about
constants</a>, below.</li>
</ol>
<p>LLVM requires that values start with a prefix for two reasons: Compilers
don't need to worry about name clashes with reserved words, and the set of
reserved words may be expanded in the future without penalty. Additionally,
unnamed identifiers allow a compiler to quickly come up with a temporary
variable without having to avoid symbol table conflicts.</p>
<p>Reserved words in LLVM are very similar to reserved words in other
languages. There are keywords for different opcodes
('<tt><a href="#i_add">add</a></tt>',
'<tt><a href="#i_bitcast">bitcast</a></tt>',
'<tt><a href="#i_ret">ret</a></tt>', etc...), for primitive type names
('<tt><a href="#t_void">void</a></tt>',
'<tt><a href="#t_primitive">i32</a></tt>', etc...), and others. These
reserved words cannot conflict with variable names, because none of them
start with a prefix character (<tt>'%'</tt> or <tt>'@'</tt>).</p>
<p>Here is an example of LLVM code to multiply the integer variable
'<tt>%X</tt>' by 8:</p>
<p>The easy way:</p>
<pre class="doc_code">
%result = <a href="#i_mul">mul</a> i32 %X, 8
</pre>
<p>After strength reduction:</p>
<pre class="doc_code">
%result = <a href="#i_shl">shl</a> i32 %X, i8 3
</pre>
<p>And the hard way:</p>
<pre class="doc_code">
%0 = <a href="#i_add">add</a> i32 %X, %X <i>; yields {i32}:%0</i>
%1 = <a href="#i_add">add</a> i32 %0, %0 <i>; yields {i32}:%1</i>
%result = <a href="#i_add">add</a> i32 %1, %1
</pre>
<p>This last way of multiplying <tt>%X</tt> by 8 illustrates several important
lexical features of LLVM:</p>
<ol>
<li>Comments are delimited with a '<tt>;</tt>' and go until the end of
line.</li>
<li>Unnamed temporaries are created when the result of a computation is not
assigned to a named value.</li>
<li>Unnamed temporaries are numbered sequentially</li>
</ol>
<p>It also shows a convention that we follow in this document. When
demonstrating instructions, we will follow an instruction with a comment that
defines the type and name of value produced. Comments are shown in italic
text.</p>

<h3>
<a name="modulestructure">Module Structure</a>
</h3>
<div>
<p>LLVM programs are composed of "Module"s, each of which is a translation unit
of the input programs. Each module consists of functions, global variables,
and symbol table entries. Modules may be combined together with the LLVM
linker, which merges function (and global variable) definitions, resolves
forward declarations, and merges symbol table entries. Here is an example of
the "hello world" module:</p>
<pre class="doc_code">
<i>; Declare the string constant as a global constant.</i>
<a href="#identifiers">@.LC0</a> = <a href="#linkage_internal">internal</a> <a href="#globalvars">constant</a> <a href="#t_array">[13 x i8]</a> c"hello world\0A\00" <i>; [13 x i8]*</i>
<i>; External declaration of the puts function</i>
<a href="#functionstructure">declare</a> i32 @puts(i8*) <i>; i32 (i8*)* </i>
<i>; Definition of main function</i>
define i32 @main() { <i>; i32()* </i>
<i>; Convert [13 x i8]* to i8 *...</i>
%cast210 = <a href="#i_getelementptr">getelementptr</a> [13 x i8]* @.LC0, i64 0, i64 0 <i>; i8*</i>
<i>; Call puts function to write out the string to stdout.</i>
<a href="#i_call">call</a> i32 @puts(i8* %cast210) <i>; i32</i>
<a href="#i_ret">ret</a> i32 0
}
<i>; Named metadata</i>
!1 = metadata !{i32 41}
!foo = !{!1, null}
</pre>
<p>This example is made up of a <a href="#globalvars">global variable</a> named
"<tt>.LC0</tt>", an external declaration of the "<tt>puts</tt>" function,
a <a href="#functionstructure">function definition</a> for
"<tt>main</tt>" and <a href="#namedmetadatastructure">named metadata</a>
"<tt>foo"</tt>.</p>
<p>In general, a module is made up of a list of global values, where both
functions and global variables are global values. Global values are
represented by a pointer to a memory location (in this case, a pointer to an
array of char, and a pointer to a function), and have one of the
following <a href="#linkage">linkage types</a>.</p>
</div>
<!-- ======================================================================= -->
<h3>
<a name="linkage">Linkage Types</a>
</h3>
<div>
<p>All Global Variables and Functions have one of the following types of
linkage:</p>
<dl>
<dt><tt><b><a name="linkage_private">private</a></b></tt></dt>
<dd>Global values with "<tt>private</tt>" linkage are only directly accessible
by objects in the current module. In particular, linking code into a
module with an private global value may cause the private to be renamed as
necessary to avoid collisions. Because the symbol is private to the
module, all references can be updated. This doesn't show up in any symbol
table in the object file.</dd>
<dt><tt><b><a name="linkage_linker_private">linker_private</a></b></tt></dt>
<dd>Similar to <tt>private</tt>, but the symbol is passed through the
assembler and evaluated by the linker. Unlike normal strong symbols, they
are removed by the linker from the final linked image (executable or
dynamic library).</dd>
<dt><tt><b><a name="linkage_linker_private_weak">linker_private_weak</a></b></tt></dt>
<dd>Similar to "<tt>linker_private</tt>", but the symbol is weak. Note that
<tt>linker_private_weak</tt> symbols are subject to coalescing by the
linker. The symbols are removed by the linker from the final linked image
(executable or dynamic library).</dd>
<dt><tt><b><a name="linkage_linker_private_weak_def_auto">linker_private_weak_def_auto</a></b></tt></dt>
<dd>Similar to "<tt>linker_private_weak</tt>", but it's known that the address
of the object is not taken. For instance, functions that had an inline
definition, but the compiler decided not to inline it. Note,
unlike <tt>linker_private</tt> and <tt>linker_private_weak</tt>,
<tt>linker_private_weak_def_auto</tt> may have only <tt>default</tt>
visibility. The symbols are removed by the linker from the final linked
image (executable or dynamic library).</dd>
<dt><tt><b><a name="linkage_internal">internal</a></b></tt></dt>
<dd>Similar to private, but the value shows as a local symbol
(<tt>STB_LOCAL</tt> in the case of ELF) in the object file. This
corresponds to the notion of the '<tt>static</tt>' keyword in C.</dd>
<dt><tt><b><a name="linkage_available_externally">available_externally</a></b></tt></dt>
<dd>Globals with "<tt>available_externally</tt>" linkage are never emitted
into the object file corresponding to the LLVM module. They exist to
allow inlining and other optimizations to take place given knowledge of
the definition of the global, which is known to be somewhere outside the
module. Globals with <tt>available_externally</tt> linkage are allowed to
be discarded at will, and are otherwise the same as <tt>linkonce_odr</tt>.
This linkage type is only allowed on definitions, not declarations.</dd>
<dt><tt><b><a name="linkage_linkonce">linkonce</a></b></tt></dt>
<dd>Globals with "<tt>linkonce</tt>" linkage are merged with other globals of
the same name when linkage occurs. This can be used to implement
some forms of inline functions, templates, or other code which must be
generated in each translation unit that uses it, but where the body may
be overridden with a more definitive definition later. Unreferenced
<tt>linkonce</tt> globals are allowed to be discarded. Note that
<tt>linkonce</tt> linkage does not actually allow the optimizer to
inline the body of this function into callers because it doesn't know if
this definition of the function is the definitive definition within the
program or whether it will be overridden by a stronger definition.
To enable inlining and other optimizations, use "<tt>linkonce_odr</tt>"
linkage.</dd>
<dt><tt><b><a name="linkage_weak">weak</a></b></tt></dt>
<dd>"<tt>weak</tt>" linkage has the same merging semantics as
<tt>linkonce</tt> linkage, except that unreferenced globals with
<tt>weak</tt> linkage may not be discarded. This is used for globals that
are declared "weak" in C source code.</dd>
<dt><tt><b><a name="linkage_common">common</a></b></tt></dt>
<dd>"<tt>common</tt>" linkage is most similar to "<tt>weak</tt>" linkage, but
they are used for tentative definitions in C, such as "<tt>int X;</tt>" at
global scope.
Symbols with "<tt>common</tt>" linkage are merged in the same way as
<tt>weak symbols</tt>, and they may not be deleted if unreferenced.
<tt>common</tt> symbols may not have an explicit section,
must have a zero initializer, and may not be marked '<a
href="#globalvars"><tt>constant</tt></a>'. Functions and aliases may not
have common linkage.</dd>
<dt><tt><b><a name="linkage_appending">appending</a></b></tt></dt>
<dd>"<tt>appending</tt>" linkage may only be applied to global variables of
pointer to array type. When two global variables with appending linkage
are linked together, the two global arrays are appended together. This is
the LLVM, typesafe, equivalent of having the system linker append together
"sections" with identical names when .o files are linked.</dd>
<dt><tt><b><a name="linkage_externweak">extern_weak</a></b></tt></dt>
<dd>The semantics of this linkage follow the ELF object file model: the symbol
is weak until linked, if not linked, the symbol becomes null instead of
being an undefined reference.</dd>
<dt><tt><b><a name="linkage_linkonce_odr">linkonce_odr</a></b></tt></dt>
<dt><tt><b><a name="linkage_weak_odr">weak_odr</a></b></tt></dt>
<dd>Some languages allow differing globals to be merged, such as two functions
with different semantics. Other languages, such as <tt>C++</tt>, ensure
that only equivalent globals are ever merged (the "one definition rule"
— "ODR"). Such languages can use the <tt>linkonce_odr</tt>
and <tt>weak_odr</tt> linkage types to indicate that the global will only
be merged with equivalent globals. These linkage types are otherwise the
same as their non-<tt>odr</tt> versions.</dd>
<dt><tt><b><a name="linkage_external">external</a></b></tt>:</dt>
<dd>If none of the above identifiers are used, the global is externally
visible, meaning that it participates in linkage and can be used to
resolve external symbol references.</dd>
</dl>
<p>The next two types of linkage are targeted for Microsoft Windows platform
only. They are designed to support importing (exporting) symbols from (to)
DLLs (Dynamic Link Libraries).</p>
<dl>
<dt><tt><b><a name="linkage_dllimport">dllimport</a></b></tt></dt>
<dd>"<tt>dllimport</tt>" linkage causes the compiler to reference a function
or variable via a global pointer to a pointer that is set up by the DLL
exporting the symbol. On Microsoft Windows targets, the pointer name is
formed by combining <code>__imp_</code> and the function or variable
name.</dd>
<dt><tt><b><a name="linkage_dllexport">dllexport</a></b></tt></dt>
<dd>"<tt>dllexport</tt>" linkage causes the compiler to provide a global
pointer to a pointer in a DLL, so that it can be referenced with the
<tt>dllimport</tt> attribute. On Microsoft Windows targets, the pointer
name is formed by combining <code>__imp_</code> and the function or
variable name.</dd>
</dl>
<p>For example, since the "<tt>.LC0</tt>" variable is defined to be internal, if
another module defined a "<tt>.LC0</tt>" variable and was linked with this
one, one of the two would be renamed, preventing a collision. Since
"<tt>main</tt>" and "<tt>puts</tt>" are external (i.e., lacking any linkage
declarations), they are accessible outside of the current module.</p>
<p>It is illegal for a function <i>declaration</i> to have any linkage type
other than <tt>external</tt>, <tt>dllimport</tt>
or <tt>extern_weak</tt>.</p>
<p>Aliases can have only <tt>external</tt>, <tt>internal</tt>, <tt>weak</tt>
or <tt>weak_odr</tt> linkages.</p>

<a name="callingconv">Calling Conventions</a>
</h3>
<div>
<p>LLVM <a href="#functionstructure">functions</a>, <a href="#i_call">calls</a>
and <a href="#i_invoke">invokes</a> can all have an optional calling
convention specified for the call. The calling convention of any pair of
dynamic caller/callee must match, or the behavior of the program is
undefined. The following calling conventions are supported by LLVM, and more
may be added in the future:</p>
<dl>
<dt><b>"<tt>ccc</tt>" - The C calling convention</b>:</dt>
<dd>This calling convention (the default if no other calling convention is
specified) matches the target C calling conventions. This calling
convention supports varargs function calls and tolerates some mismatch in
the declared prototype and implemented declaration of the function (as
does normal C).</dd>
<dt><b>"<tt>fastcc</tt>" - The fast calling convention</b>:</dt>
<dd>This calling convention attempts to make calls as fast as possible
(e.g. by passing things in registers). This calling convention allows the
target to use whatever tricks it wants to produce fast code for the
target, without having to conform to an externally specified ABI
(Application Binary Interface).
<a href="CodeGenerator.html#tailcallopt">Tail calls can only be optimized
when this or the GHC convention is used.</a> This calling convention
does not support varargs and requires the prototype of all callees to
exactly match the prototype of the function definition.</dd>
<dt><b>"<tt>coldcc</tt>" - The cold calling convention</b>:</dt>
<dd>This calling convention attempts to make code in the caller as efficient
as possible under the assumption that the call is not commonly executed.
As such, these calls often preserve all registers so that the call does
not break any live ranges in the caller side. This calling convention
does not support varargs and requires the prototype of all callees to
exactly match the prototype of the function definition.</dd>
<dt><b>"<tt>cc <em>10</em></tt>" - GHC convention</b>:</dt>
<dd>This calling convention has been implemented specifically for use by the
<a href="http://www.haskell.org/ghc">Glasgow Haskell Compiler (GHC)</a>.
It passes everything in registers, going to extremes to achieve this by
disabling callee save registers. This calling convention should not be
used lightly but only for specific situations such as an alternative to
the <em>register pinning</em> performance technique often used when
implementing functional programming languages.At the moment only X86
supports this convention and it has the following limitations:
<ul>
<li>On <em>X86-32</em> only supports up to 4 bit type parameters. No
floating point types are supported.</li>
<li>On <em>X86-64</em> only supports up to 10 bit type parameters and
6 floating point parameters.</li>
</ul>
This calling convention supports
<a href="CodeGenerator.html#tailcallopt">tail call optimization</a> but
requires both the caller and callee are using it.
</dd>
<dt><b>"<tt>cc <<em>n</em>></tt>" - Numbered convention</b>:</dt>
<dd>Any calling convention may be specified by number, allowing
target-specific calling conventions to be used. Target specific calling
conventions start at 64.</dd>

<h3>
<a name="visibility">Visibility Styles</a>
</h3>
<div>
<p>All Global Variables and Functions have one of the following visibility
styles:</p>
<dl>
<dt><b>"<tt>default</tt>" - Default style</b>:</dt>
<dd>On targets that use the ELF object file format, default visibility means
that the declaration is visible to other modules and, in shared libraries,
means that the declared entity may be overridden. On Darwin, default
visibility means that the declaration is visible to other modules. Default
visibility corresponds to "external linkage" in the language.</dd>
<dt><b>"<tt>hidden</tt>" - Hidden style</b>:</dt>
<dd>Two declarations of an object with hidden visibility refer to the same
object if they are in the same shared object. Usually, hidden visibility
indicates that the symbol will not be placed into the dynamic symbol
table, so no other module (executable or shared library) can reference it
directly.</dd>
<dt><b>"<tt>protected</tt>" - Protected style</b>:</dt>
<dd>On ELF, protected visibility indicates that the symbol will be placed in
the dynamic symbol table, but that references within the defining module
will bind to the local symbol. That is, the symbol cannot be overridden by
another module.</dd>

<h3>
<a name="namedtypes">Named Types</a>
</h3>
<div>
<p>LLVM IR allows you to specify name aliases for certain types. This can make
it easier to read the IR and make the IR more condensed (particularly when
recursive types are involved). An example of a name specification is:</p>
<pre class="doc_code">
%mytype = type { %mytype*, i32 }
</pre>
<p>You may give a name to any <a href="#typesystem">type</a> except
"<a href="#t_void">void</a>". Type name aliases may be used anywhere a type
is expected with the syntax "%mytype".</p>
<p>Note that type names are aliases for the structural type that they indicate,
and that you can therefore specify multiple names for the same type. This
often leads to confusing behavior when dumping out a .ll file. Since LLVM IR
uses structural typing, the name is not part of the type. When printing out
LLVM IR, the printer will pick <em>one name</em> to render all types of a
particular shape. This means that if you have code where two different
source types end up having the same LLVM type, that the dumper will sometimes
print the "wrong" or unexpected type. This is an important design point and
isn't going to change.</p>
</div>
<!-- ======================================================================= -->
<h3>
<a name="globalvars">Global Variables</a>
</h3>
<div>
<p>Global variables define regions of memory allocated at compilation time
instead of run-time. Global variables may optionally be initialized, may
have an explicit section to be placed in, and may have an optional explicit
alignment specified. A variable may be defined as "thread_local", which
means that it will not be shared by threads (each thread will have a
separated copy of the variable). A variable may be defined as a global
"constant," which indicates that the contents of the variable
will <b>never</b> be modified (enabling better optimization, allowing the
global data to be placed in the read-only section of an executable, etc).
Note that variables that need runtime initialization cannot be marked
"constant" as there is a store to the variable.</p>
<p>LLVM explicitly allows <em>declarations</em> of global variables to be marked
constant, even if the final definition of the global is not. This capability
can be used to enable slightly better optimization of the program, but
requires the language definition to guarantee that optimizations based on the
'constantness' are valid for the translation units that do not include the
definition.</p>
<p>As SSA values, global variables define pointer values that are in scope
(i.e. they dominate) all basic blocks in the program. Global variables
always define a pointer to their "content" type because they describe a
region of memory, and all memory objects in LLVM are accessed through
pointers.</p>
<p>Global variables can be marked with <tt>unnamed_addr</tt> which indicates
that the address is not significant, only the content. Constants marked
like this can be merged with other constants if they have the same
initializer. Note that a constant with significant address <em>can</em>
be merged with a <tt>unnamed_addr</tt> constant, the result being a
constant whose address is significant.</p>
<p>A global variable may be declared to reside in a target-specific numbered
address space. For targets that support them, address spaces may affect how
optimizations are performed and/or what target instructions are used to
access the variable. The default address space is zero. The address space
qualifier must precede any other attributes.</p>
<p>LLVM allows an explicit section to be specified for globals. If the target
supports it, it will emit globals to the section specified.</p>
<p>An explicit alignment may be specified for a global, which must be a power
of 2. If not present, or if the alignment is set to zero, the alignment of
the global is set by the target to whatever it feels convenient. If an
explicit alignment is specified, the global is forced to have exactly that
alignment. Targets and optimizers are not allowed to over-align the global
if the global has an assigned section. In this case, the extra alignment
could be observable: for example, code could assume that the globals are
densely packed in their section and try to iterate over them as an array,
alignment padding would break this iteration.</p>
<p>For example, the following defines a global in a numbered address space with
an initializer, section, and alignment:</p>
<pre class="doc_code">
@G = addrspace(5) constant float 1.0, section "foo", align 4
</pre>

optional <a href="#gc">garbage collector name</a>.</p>
<p>A function definition contains a list of basic blocks, forming the CFG
(Control Flow Graph) for the function. Each basic block may optionally start
with a label (giving the basic block a symbol table entry), contains a list
of instructions, and ends with a <a href="#terminators">terminator</a>
instruction (such as a branch or function return).</p>
<p>The first basic block in a function is special in two ways: it is immediately
executed on entrance to the function, and it is not allowed to have
predecessor basic blocks (i.e. there can not be any branches to the entry
block of a function). Because the block can have no predecessors, it also
cannot have any <a href="#i_phi">PHI nodes</a>.</p>
<p>LLVM allows an explicit section to be specified for functions. If the target
supports it, it will emit functions to the section specified.</p>
<p>An explicit alignment may be specified for a function. If not present, or if
the alignment is set to zero, the alignment of the function is set by the
target to whatever it feels convenient. If an explicit alignment is
specified, the function is forced to have at least that much alignment. All
alignments must be a power of 2.</p>
<p>If the <tt>unnamed_addr</tt> attribute is given, the address is know to not
be significant and two identical functions can be merged</p>.

<h3>
<a name="paramattrs">Parameter Attributes</a>
</h3>
<div>
<p>The return type and each parameter of a function type may have a set of
<i>parameter attributes</i> associated with them. Parameter attributes are
used to communicate additional information about the result or parameters of
a function. Parameter attributes are considered to be part of the function,
not of the function type, so functions with different parameter attributes
can have the same function type.</p>
<p>Parameter attributes are simple keywords that follow the type specified. If
multiple parameter attributes are needed, they are space separated. For
example:</p>
<pre class="doc_code">
declare i32 @printf(i8* noalias nocapture, ...)
declare i32 @atoi(i8 zeroext)
declare signext i8 @returns_signed_char()
</pre>
<p>Note that any attributes for the function result (<tt>nounwind</tt>,
<tt>readonly</tt>) come immediately after the argument list.</p>
<p>Currently, only the following parameter attributes are defined:</p>
<dl>
<dt><tt><b>zeroext</b></tt></dt>
<dd>This indicates to the code generator that the parameter or return value
should be zero-extended to the extent required by the target's ABI (which
is usually 32-bits, but is 8-bits for a i1 on x86-64) by the caller (for a
parameter) or the callee (for a return value).</dd>
<dt><tt><b>signext</b></tt></dt>
<dd>This indicates to the code generator that the parameter or return value
should be sign-extended to the extent required by the target's ABI (which
is usually 32-bits) by the caller (for a parameter) or the callee (for a
return value).</dd>
<dt><tt><b>inreg</b></tt></dt>
<dd>This indicates that this parameter or return value should be treated in a
special target-dependent fashion during while emitting code for a function
call or return (usually, by putting it in a register as opposed to memory,
though some targets use it to distinguish between two different kinds of
registers). Use of this attribute is target-specific.</dd>
<dt><tt><b><a name="byval">byval</a></b></tt></dt>
<dd><p>This indicates that the pointer parameter should really be passed by
value to the function. The attribute implies that a hidden copy of the
pointee
is made between the caller and the callee, so the callee is unable to
modify the value in the callee. This attribute is only valid on LLVM
pointer arguments. It is generally used to pass structs and arrays by
value, but is also valid on pointers to scalars. The copy is considered
to belong to the caller not the callee (for example,
<tt><a href="#readonly">readonly</a></tt> functions should not write to
<tt>byval</tt> parameters). This is not a valid attribute for return
values.</p>
<p>The byval attribute also supports specifying an alignment with
the align attribute. It indicates the alignment of the stack slot to
form and the known alignment of the pointer specified to the call site. If
the alignment is not specified, then the code generator makes a
target-specific assumption.</p></dd>
<dt><tt><b><a name="sret">sret</a></b></tt></dt>
<dd>This indicates that the pointer parameter specifies the address of a
structure that is the return value of the function in the source program.
This pointer must be guaranteed by the caller to be valid: loads and
stores to the structure may be assumed by the callee to not to trap. This
may only be applied to the first parameter. This is not a valid attribute
for return values. </dd>
<dt><tt><b><a name="noalias">noalias</a></b></tt></dt>
<dd>This indicates that pointer values
<a href="#pointeraliasing"><i>based</i></a> on the argument or return
value do not alias pointer values which are not <i>based</i> on it,
ignoring certain "irrelevant" dependencies.
For a call to the parent function, dependencies between memory
references from before or after the call and from those during the call
are "irrelevant" to the <tt>noalias</tt> keyword for the arguments and
return value used in that call.
The caller shares the responsibility with the callee for ensuring that
these requirements are met.
For further details, please see the discussion of the NoAlias response in
<a href="AliasAnalysis.html#MustMayNo">alias analysis</a>.<br>
<br>
Note that this definition of <tt>noalias</tt> is intentionally
similar to the definition of <tt>restrict</tt> in C99 for function
arguments, though it is slightly weaker.
<br>
For function return values, C99's <tt>restrict</tt> is not meaningful,
while LLVM's <tt>noalias</tt> is.
</dd>
<dt><tt><b><a name="nocapture">nocapture</a></b></tt></dt>
<dd>This indicates that the callee does not make any copies of the pointer
that outlive the callee itself. This is not a valid attribute for return
values.</dd>
<dt><tt><b><a name="nest">nest</a></b></tt></dt>
<dd>This indicates that the pointer parameter can be excised using the
<a href="#int_trampoline">trampoline intrinsics</a>. This is not a valid
attribute for return values.</dd>
</dl>
</div>
<!-- ======================================================================= -->
<h3>
<a name="gc">Garbage Collector Names</a>
</h3>
<div>
<p>Each function may specify a garbage collector name, which is simply a
string:</p>
<pre class="doc_code">
define void @f() gc "name" { ... }
</pre>
<p>The compiler declares the supported values of <i>name</i>. Specifying a
collector which will cause the compiler to alter its output in order to

<!-- ======================================================================= -->
<h3>
<a name="fnattrs">Function Attributes</a>
</h3>
<div>
<p>Function attributes are set to communicate additional information about a
function. Function attributes are considered to be part of the function, not
of the function type, so functions with different parameter attributes can
have the same function type.</p>
<p>Function attributes are simple keywords that follow the type specified. If
multiple attributes are needed, they are space separated. For example:</p>
<pre class="doc_code">
define void @f() noinline { ... }
define void @f() alwaysinline { ... }
define void @f() alwaysinline optsize { ... }
define void @f() optsize { ... }
</pre>
<dl>
<dt><tt><b>alignstack(<<em>n</em>>)</b></tt></dt>
<dd>This attribute indicates that, when emitting the prologue and epilogue,
the backend should forcibly align the stack pointer. Specify the
desired alignment, which must be a power of two, in parentheses.
<dt><tt><b>alwaysinline</b></tt></dt>
<dd>This attribute indicates that the inliner should attempt to inline this
function into callers whenever possible, ignoring any active inlining size
threshold for this caller.</dd>
<dt><tt><b>nonlazybind</b></tt></dt>
<dd>This attribute suppresses lazy symbol binding for the function. This
may make calls to the function faster, at the cost of extra program
startup time if the function is not called during program startup.</dd>
<dt><tt><b>inlinehint</b></tt></dt>
<dd>This attribute indicates that the source code contained a hint that inlining
this function is desirable (such as the "inline" keyword in C/C++). It
is just a hint; it imposes no requirements on the inliner.</dd>
<dt><tt><b>naked</b></tt></dt>
<dd>This attribute disables prologue / epilogue emission for the function.
This can have very system-specific consequences.</dd>
<dt><tt><b>noimplicitfloat</b></tt></dt>
<dd>This attributes disables implicit floating point instructions.</dd>
<dt><tt><b>noinline</b></tt></dt>
<dd>This attribute indicates that the inliner should never inline this
function in any situation. This attribute may not be used together with
the <tt>alwaysinline</tt> attribute.</dd>
<dt><tt><b>noredzone</b></tt></dt>
<dd>This attribute indicates that the code generator should not use a red
zone, even if the target-specific ABI normally permits it.</dd>
<dt><tt><b>noreturn</b></tt></dt>
<dd>This function attribute indicates that the function never returns
normally. This produces undefined behavior at runtime if the function
ever does dynamically return.</dd>
<dt><tt><b>nounwind</b></tt></dt>
<dd>This function attribute indicates that the function never returns with an
unwind or exceptional control flow. If the function does unwind, its
runtime behavior is undefined.</dd>
<dt><tt><b>optsize</b></tt></dt>
<dd>This attribute suggests that optimization passes and code generator passes
make choices that keep the code size of this function low, and otherwise
do optimizations specifically to reduce code size.</dd>
<dt><tt><b>readnone</b></tt></dt>
<dd>This attribute indicates that the function computes its result (or decides
to unwind an exception) based strictly on its arguments, without
dereferencing any pointer arguments or otherwise accessing any mutable
state (e.g. memory, control registers, etc) visible to caller functions.
It does not write through any pointer arguments
(including <tt><a href="#byval">byval</a></tt> arguments) and never
changes any state visible to callers. This means that it cannot unwind
exceptions by calling the <tt>C++</tt> exception throwing methods, but
could use the <tt>unwind</tt> instruction.</dd>
<dt><tt><b><a name="readonly">readonly</a></b></tt></dt>
<dd>This attribute indicates that the function does not write through any
pointer arguments (including <tt><a href="#byval">byval</a></tt>
arguments) or otherwise modify any state (e.g. memory, control registers,
etc) visible to caller functions. It may dereference pointer arguments
and read state that may be set in the caller. A readonly function always
returns the same value (or unwinds an exception identically) when called
with the same set of arguments and global state. It cannot unwind an
exception by calling the <tt>C++</tt> exception throwing methods, but may
use the <tt>unwind</tt> instruction.</dd>
<dt><tt><b><a name="ssp">ssp</a></b></tt></dt>
<dd>This attribute indicates that the function should emit a stack smashing
protector. It is in the form of a "canary"—a random value placed on
the stack before the local variables that's checked upon return from the
function to see if it has been overwritten. A heuristic is used to
determine if a function needs stack protectors or not.<br>
<br>
If a function that has an <tt>ssp</tt> attribute is inlined into a
function that doesn't have an <tt>ssp</tt> attribute, then the resulting
function will have an <tt>ssp</tt> attribute.</dd>
<dt><tt><b>sspreq</b></tt></dt>
<dd>This attribute indicates that the function should <em>always</em> emit a
stack smashing protector. This overrides
the <tt><a href="#ssp">ssp</a></tt> function attribute.<br>
<br>
If a function that has an <tt>sspreq</tt> attribute is inlined into a
function that doesn't have an <tt>sspreq</tt> attribute or which has
an <tt>ssp</tt> attribute, then the resulting function will have
an <tt>sspreq</tt> attribute.</dd>
<dt><tt><b><a name="uwtable">uwtable</a></b></tt></dt>
<dd>This attribute indicates that the ABI being targeted requires that
an unwind table entry be produce for this function even if we can
show that no exceptions passes by it. This is normally the case for
the ELF x86-64 abi, but it can be disabled for some compilation
units.</dd>
<dt><tt><b><a name="returns_twice">returns_twice</a></b></tt></dt>
<dd>This attribute indicates that this function can return
twice. The C <code>setjmp</code> is an example of such a function.

<dt><tt>i<i>size</i>:<i>abi</i>:<i>pref</i></tt></dt>

<dd>This specifies the alignment for a floating point type of a given bit
<i>size</i>. Only values of <i>size</i> that are supported by the target
will work. 32 (float) and 64 (double) are supported on all targets;
80 or 128 (different flavors of long double) are also supported on some
targets.

<dt><tt>n<i>size1</i>:<i>size2</i>:<i>size3</i>...</tt></dt>
<dd>This specifies a set of native integer widths for the target CPU
in bits. For example, it might contain "n32" for 32-bit PowerPC,
"n32:64" for PowerPC 64, or "n8:16:32:64" for X86-64. Elements of
this set are considered to support most general arithmetic
operations efficiently.</dd>
</dl>
<p>When constructing the data layout for a given target, LLVM starts with a
default set of specifications which are then (possibly) overridden by the
specifications in the <tt>datalayout</tt> keyword. The default specifications
are given in this list:</p>
<ul>
<li><tt>E</tt> - big endian</li>
<li><tt>p:64:64:64</tt> - 64-bit pointers with 64-bit alignment</li>
<li><tt>i1:8:8</tt> - i1 is 8-bit (byte) aligned</li>
<li><tt>i8:8:8</tt> - i8 is 8-bit (byte) aligned</li>
<li><tt>i16:16:16</tt> - i16 is 16-bit aligned</li>
<li><tt>i32:32:32</tt> - i32 is 32-bit aligned</li>
<li><tt>i64:32:64</tt> - i64 has ABI alignment of 32-bits but preferred
alignment of 64-bits</li>
<li><tt>f32:32:32</tt> - float is 32-bit aligned</li>
<li><tt>f64:64:64</tt> - double is 64-bit aligned</li>
<li><tt>v64:64:64</tt> - 64-bit vector is 64-bit aligned</li>
<li><tt>v128:128:128</tt> - 128-bit vector is 128-bit aligned</li>
<li><tt>a0:0:1</tt> - aggregates are 8-bit aligned</li>
<li><tt>s0:64:64</tt> - stack objects are 64-bit aligned</li>
</ul>
<p>When LLVM is determining the alignment for a given type, it uses the
following rules:</p>
<ol>
<li>If the type sought is an exact match for one of the specifications, that
specification is used.</li>
<li>If no match is found, and the type sought is an integer type, then the
smallest integer type that is larger than the bitwidth of the sought type
is used. If none of the specifications are larger than the bitwidth then
the the largest integer type is used. For example, given the default
specifications above, the i7 type will use the alignment of i8 (next
largest) while both i65 and i256 will use the alignment of i64 (largest
specified).</li>
<li>If no match is found, and the type sought is a vector type, then the
largest vector type that is smaller than the sought vector type will be
used as a fall back. This happens because <128 x double> can be
implemented in terms of 64 <2 x double>, for example.</li>
</ol>
<p>The function of the data layout string may not be what you expect. Notably,
this is not a specification from the frontend of what alignment the code
generator should use.</p>
<p>Instead, if specified, the target data layout is required to match what the
ultimate <em>code generator</em> expects. This string is used by the
mid-level optimizers to
improve code, and this only works if it matches what the ultimate code
generator uses. If you would like to generate IR that does not embed this
target-specific detail into the IR, then you don't have to specify the
string. This will disable some optimizations that require precise layout
information, but this also prevents those optimizations from introducing
target specificity into the IR.</p>

<h3>
<a name="pointeraliasing">Pointer Aliasing Rules</a>
</h3>
<div>
<p>Any memory access must be done through a pointer value associated
with an address range of the memory access, otherwise the behavior
is undefined. Pointer values are associated with address ranges
according to the following rules:</p>
<ul>
<li>A pointer value is associated with the addresses associated with
any value it is <i>based</i> on.
<li>An address of a global variable is associated with the address
range of the variable's storage.</li>
<li>The result value of an allocation instruction is associated with
the address range of the allocated storage.</li>
<li>A null pointer in the default address-space is associated with
no address.</li>
<li>An integer constant other than zero or a pointer value returned
from a function not defined within LLVM may be associated with address
ranges allocated through mechanisms other than those provided by
LLVM. Such ranges shall not overlap with any ranges of addresses
allocated by mechanisms provided by LLVM.</li>
</ul>
<p>A pointer value is <i>based</i> on another pointer value according
to the following rules:</p>
<ul>
<li>A pointer value formed from a
<tt><a href="#i_getelementptr">getelementptr</a></tt> operation
is <i>based</i> on the first operand of the <tt>getelementptr</tt>.</li>
<li>The result value of a
<tt><a href="#i_bitcast">bitcast</a></tt> is <i>based</i> on the operand
of the <tt>bitcast</tt>.</li>
<li>A pointer value formed by an
<tt><a href="#i_inttoptr">inttoptr</a></tt> is <i>based</i> on all
pointer values that contribute (directly or indirectly) to the
computation of the pointer's value.</li>
<li>The "<i>based</i> on" relationship is transitive.</li>
</ul>
<p>Note that this definition of <i>"based"</i> is intentionally
similar to the definition of <i>"based"</i> in C99, though it is
slightly weaker.</p>
<p>LLVM IR does not associate types with memory. The result type of a
<tt><a href="#i_load">load</a></tt> merely indicates the size and
alignment of the memory from which to load, as well as the
interpretation of the value. The first operand type of a
<tt><a href="#i_store">store</a></tt> similarly only indicates the size
and alignment of the store.</p>
<p>Consequently, type-based alias analysis, aka TBAA, aka
<tt>-fstrict-aliasing</tt>, is not applicable to general unadorned
LLVM IR. <a href="#metadata">Metadata</a> may be used to encode
additional information which specialized optimization passes may use
to implement type-based alias analysis.</p>

<a name="volatile">Volatile Memory Accesses</a>

href="#int_memcpy"><tt>llvm.memcpy</tt></a>s may be marked <tt>volatile</tt>.
The optimizers must not change the number of volatile operations or change their
order of execution relative to other volatile operations. The optimizers
<i>may</i> change the order of volatile operations relative to non-volatile
operations. This is not Java's "volatile" and has no cross-thread
synchronization behavior.</p>
</div>
<!-- ======================================================================= -->
<h3>
<a name="memmodel">Memory Model for Concurrent Operations</a>
</h3>
<div>
<p>The LLVM IR does not define any way to start parallel threads of execution
or to register signal handlers. Nonetheless, there are platform-specific
ways to create them, and we define LLVM IR's behavior in their presence. This
model is inspired by the C++0x memory model.</p>
<p>For a more informal introduction to this model, see the
<a href="Atomics.html">LLVM Atomic Instructions and Concurrency Guide</a>.
<p>We define a <i>happens-before</i> partial order as the least partial order
that</p>
<ul>
<li>Is a superset of single-thread program order, and</li>
<li>When a <i>synchronizes-with</i> <tt>b</tt>, includes an edge from
<tt>a</tt> to <tt>b</tt>. <i>Synchronizes-with</i> pairs are introduced
by platform-specific techniques, like pthread locks, thread
creation, thread joining, etc., and by atomic instructions.
(See also <a href="#ordering">Atomic Memory Ordering Constraints</a>).
</li>
</ul>
<p>Note that program order does not introduce <i>happens-before</i> edges
between a thread and signals executing inside that thread.</p>
<p>Every (defined) read operation (load instructions, memcpy, atomic
loads/read-modify-writes, etc.) <var>R</var> reads a series of bytes written by
(defined) write operations (store instructions, atomic
stores/read-modify-writes, memcpy, etc.). For the purposes of this section,
initialized globals are considered to have a write of the initializer which is
atomic and happens before any other read or write of the memory in question.
For each byte of a read <var>R</var>, <var>R<sub>byte</sub></var> may see
any write to the same byte, except:</p>
<ul>
<li>If <var>write<sub>1</sub></var> happens before
<var>write<sub>2</sub></var>, and <var>write<sub>2</sub></var> happens
before <var>R<sub>byte</sub></var>, then <var>R<sub>byte</sub></var>
does not see <var>write<sub>1</sub></var>.
<li>If <var>R<sub>byte</sub></var> happens before
<var>write<sub>3</sub></var>, then <var>R<sub>byte</sub></var> does not
see <var>write<sub>3</sub></var>.
</ul>
<p>Given that definition, <var>R<sub>byte</sub></var> is defined as follows:
<ul>
<li>If <var>R</var> is volatile, the result is target-dependent. (Volatile
is supposed to give guarantees which can support
<code>sig_atomic_t</code> in C/C++, and may be used for accesses to
addresses which do not behave like normal memory. It does not generally
provide cross-thread synchronization.)
<li>Otherwise, if there is no write to the same byte that happens before
<var>R<sub>byte</sub></var>, <var>R<sub>byte</sub></var> returns
<tt>undef</tt> for that byte.
<li>Otherwise, if <var>R<sub>byte</sub></var> may see exactly one write,
<var>R<sub>byte</sub></var> returns the value written by that
write.</li>
<li>Otherwise, if <var>R</var> is atomic, and all the writes
<var>R<sub>byte</sub></var> may see are atomic, it chooses one of the
values written. See the <a href="#ordering">Atomic Memory Ordering
Constraints</a> section for additional constraints on how the choice
is made.
<li>Otherwise <var>R<sub>byte</sub></var> returns <tt>undef</tt>.</li>
</ul>
<p><var>R</var> returns the value composed of the series of bytes it read.
This implies that some bytes within the value may be <tt>undef</tt>
<b>without</b> the entire value being <tt>undef</tt>. Note that this only
defines the semantics of the operation; it doesn't mean that targets will
emit more than one instruction to read the series of bytes.</p>
<p>Note that in cases where none of the atomic intrinsics are used, this model
places only one restriction on IR transformations on top of what is required
for single-threaded execution: introducing a store to a byte which might not
otherwise be stored is not allowed in general. (Specifically, in the case
where another thread might write to and read from an address, introducing a
store can change a load that may see exactly one write into a load that may
see multiple writes.)</p>
<!-- FIXME: This model assumes all targets where concurrency is relevant have
a byte-size store which doesn't affect adjacent bytes. As far as I can tell,
none of the backends currently in the tree fall into this category; however,
there might be targets which care. If there are, we want a paragraph
like the following:
Targets may specify that stores narrower than a certain width are not
available; on such a target, for the purposes of this model, treat any
non-atomic write with an alignment or width less than the minimum width
as if it writes to the relevant surrounding bytes.

(<a href="#i_cmpxchg"><code>cmpxchg</code></a> and
<a href="#i_atomicrmw"><code>atomicrmw</code></a>)
reads the value in the modification order immediately before the value it
writes. If one atomic read happens before another atomic read of the same
address, the later read must see the same value or a later value in the
address's modification order. This disallows reordering of
<code>monotonic</code> (or stronger) operations on the same address. If an

<h3>
<a name="t_derived">Derived Types</a>

<p>The real power in LLVM comes from the derived types in the system. This is
what allows a programmer to represent arrays, functions, pointers, and other
useful types. Each of these types contain one or more element types which
may be a primitive type, or another derived type. For example, it is
possible to have a two dimensional array, using an array as the element type
of another array.</p>

<h4>
<a name="t_array">Array Type</a>
</h4>
<div>
<h5>Overview:</h5>
<p>The array type is a very simple derived type that arranges elements
sequentially in memory. The array type requires a size (number of elements)
and an underlying data type.</p>
<h5>Syntax:</h5>
<pre>
[<# elements> x <elementtype>]
</pre>
<p>The number of elements is a constant integer value; <tt>elementtype</tt> may
be any type with a size.</p>
<h5>Examples:</h5>
<table class="layout">
<tr class="layout">
<td class="left"><tt>[40 x i32]</tt></td>
<td class="left">Array of 40 32-bit integer values.</td>

<tr class="layout">
<td class="left"><tt>[4 x i8]</tt></td>
<td class="left">Array of 4 8-bit integer values.</td>

<p>Here are some examples of multidimensional arrays:</p>
<table class="layout">
<tr class="layout">
<td class="left"><tt>[3 x [4 x i32]]</tt></td>

</table>
<p>There is no restriction on indexing beyond the end of the array implied by
a static type (though there are restrictions on indexing beyond the bounds
of an allocated object in some cases). This means that single-dimension
'variable sized array' addressing can be implemented in LLVM with a zero
length array type. An implementation of 'pascal style arrays' in LLVM could
use the type "<tt>{ i32, [0 x float]}</tt>", for example.</p>
</div>

<h4>
<a name="t_function">Function Type</a>
</h4>
<div>
<h5>Overview:</h5>
<p>The function type can be thought of as a function signature. It consists of
a return type and a list of formal parameter types. The return type of a
function type is a first class type or a void type.</p>
<h5>Syntax:</h5>
<pre>
<returntype> (<parameter list>)
</pre>
<p>...where '<tt><parameter list></tt>' is a comma-separated list of type
specifiers. Optionally, the parameter list may include a type <tt>...</tt>,
which indicates that the function takes a variable number of arguments.
Variable argument functions can access their arguments with
the <a href="#int_varargs">variable argument handling intrinsic</a>
functions. '<tt><returntype></tt>' is any type except
<a href="#t_label">label</a>.</p>

<h4>
<a name="t_struct">Structure Type</a>
</h4>
<div>
<h5>Overview:</h5>
<p>The structure type is used to represent a collection of data members together
in memory. The elements of a structure may be any type that has a size.</p>
<p>Structures in memory are accessed using '<tt><a href="#i_load">load</a></tt>'
and '<tt><a href="#i_store">store</a></tt>' by getting a pointer to a field
with the '<tt><a href="#i_getelementptr">getelementptr</a></tt>' instruction.
Structures in registers are accessed using the
'<tt><a href="#i_extractvalue">extractvalue</a></tt>' and
'<tt><a href="#i_insertvalue">insertvalue</a></tt>' instructions.</p>
<p>Structures may optionally be "packed" structures, which indicate that the
alignment of the struct is one byte, and that there is no padding between
the elements. In non-packed structs, padding between field types is inserted
as defined by the TargetData string in the module, which is required to match
what the underlying code generator expects.</p>
<p>Structures can either be "literal" or "identified". A literal structure is
defined inline with other types (e.g. <tt>{i32, i32}*</tt>) whereas identified
types are always defined at the top level with a name. Literal types are
uniqued by their contents and can never be recursive or opaque since there is
no way to write one. Identified types can be recursive, can be opaqued, and are
never uniqued.
</p>
<h5>Syntax:</h5>
<pre>
%T1 = type { <type list> } <i>; Identified normal struct type</i>
%T2 = type <{ <type list> }> <i>; Identified packed struct type</i>
</pre>
<h5>Examples:</h5>
<table class="layout">
<tr class="layout">
<td class="left"><tt>{ i32, i32, i32 }</tt></td>
<td class="left">A triple of three <tt>i32</tt> values</td>

<td class="left"><tt>{ float, i32 (i32) * }</tt></td>
<td class="left">A pair, where the first element is a <tt>float</tt> and the
second element is a <a href="#t_pointer">pointer</a> to a

an <tt>i32</tt>.</td>

<h4>
<a name="t_opaque">Opaque Structure Types</a>
</h4>
<div>
<h5>Overview:</h5>
<p>Opaque structure types are used to represent named structure types that do
not have a body specified. This corresponds (for example) to the C notion of
a forward declared structure.</p>
<h5>Syntax:</h5>
<pre>
%X = type opaque
%52 = type opaque
</pre>
<h5>Examples:</h5>
<table class="layout">
<tr class="layout">
<td class="left"><tt>opaque</tt></td>
<td class="left">An opaque type.</td>

</div>
<!-- _______________________________________________________________________ -->
<h4>
<a name="t_pointer">Pointer Type</a>
</h4>
<div>
<h5>Overview:</h5>
<p>The pointer type is used to specify memory locations.
Pointers are commonly used to reference objects in memory.</p>
<p>Pointer types may have an optional address space attribute defining the
numbered address space where the pointed-to object resides. The default
address space is number zero. The semantics of non-zero address
spaces are target-specific.</p>
<p>Note that LLVM does not permit pointers to void (<tt>void*</tt>) nor does it
permit pointers to labels (<tt>label*</tt>). Use <tt>i8*</tt> instead.</p>
<h5>Syntax:</h5>
<pre>
<type> *
</pre>
<h5>Examples:</h5>
<table class="layout">
<tr class="layout">
<td class="left"><tt>[4 x i32]*</tt></td>
<td class="left">A <a href="#t_pointer">pointer</a> to <a

</tr>
</table>
</div>
<!-- _______________________________________________________________________ -->
<h4>
<a name="t_vector">Vector Type</a>
</h4>
<div>
<h5>Overview:</h5>
<p>A vector type is a simple derived type that represents a vector of elements.
Vector types are used when multiple primitive data are operated in parallel
using a single instruction (SIMD). A vector type requires a size (number of
elements) and an underlying primitive data type. Vector types are considered
<a href="#t_firstclass">first class</a>.</p>
<h5>Syntax:</h5>
<pre>
< <# elements> x <elementtype> >
</pre>
<p>The number of elements is a constant integer value larger than 0; elementtype
may be any integer or floating point type. Vectors of size zero are not
allowed, and pointers are not allowed as the element type.</p>
<h5>Examples:</h5>
<table class="layout">
<tr class="layout">
<td class="left"><tt><4 x i32></tt></td>
<td class="left">Vector of 4 32-bit integer values.</td>
</tr>
<tr class="layout">
<td class="left"><tt><8 x float></tt></td>
<td class="left">Vector of 8 32-bit floating-point values.</td>
</tr>
<tr class="layout">
<td class="left"><tt><2 x i64></tt></td>
<td class="left">Vector of 2 64-bit integer values.</td>

<h2><a name="constants">Constants</a></h2>
<!-- *********************************************************************** -->
<div>
<p>LLVM has several different basic types of constants. This section describes
them all and their syntax.</p>
<!-- ======================================================================= -->
<h3>
<a name="simpleconstants">Simple Constants</a>
</h3>
<div>
<dl>
<dt><b>Boolean constants</b></dt>
<dd>The two strings '<tt>true</tt>' and '<tt>false</tt>' are both valid
constants of the <tt><a href="#t_integer">i1</a></tt> type.</dd>
<dt><b>Integer constants</b></dt>
<dd>Standard integers (such as '4') are constants of
the <a href="#t_integer">integer</a> type. Negative numbers may be used
with integer types.</dd>
<dt><b>Floating point constants</b></dt>
<dd>Floating point constants use standard decimal notation (e.g. 123.421),
exponential notation (e.g. 1.23421e+2), or a more precise hexadecimal
notation (see below). The assembler requires the exact decimal value of a
floating-point constant. For example, the assembler accepts 1.25 but
rejects 1.3 because 1.3 is a repeating decimal in binary. Floating point
constants must have a <a href="#t_floating">floating point</a> type. </dd>
<dt><b>Null pointer constants</b></dt>
<dd>The identifier '<tt>null</tt>' is recognized as a null pointer constant
and must be of <a href="#t_pointer">pointer type</a>.</dd>
</dl>
<p>The one non-intuitive notation for constants is the hexadecimal form of
floating point constants. For example, the form '<tt>double
0x432ff973cafa8000</tt>' is equivalent to (but harder to read than)
'<tt>double 4.5e+15</tt>'. The only time hexadecimal floating point
constants are required (and the only time that they are generated by the
disassembler) is when a floating point constant must be emitted but it cannot
be represented as a decimal floating point number in a reasonable number of
digits. For example, NaN's, infinities, and other special values are
represented in their IEEE hexadecimal format so that assembly and disassembly
do not cause any bits to change in the constants.</p>
<p>When using the hexadecimal form, constants of types float and double are
represented using the 16-digit form shown above (which matches the IEEE754
representation for double); float values must, however, be exactly
representable as IEE754 single precision. Hexadecimal format is always used
for long double, and there are three forms of long double. The 80-bit format
used by x86 is represented as <tt>0xK</tt> followed by 20 hexadecimal digits.
The 128-bit format used by PowerPC (two adjacent doubles) is represented
by <tt>0xM</tt> followed by 32 hexadecimal digits. The IEEE 128-bit format
is represented by <tt>0xL</tt> followed by 32 hexadecimal digits; no
currently supported target uses this format. Long doubles will only work if
they match the long double format on your target. All hexadecimal formats
are big-endian (sign bit at the left).</p>
<p>There are no constants of type x86mmx.</p>
</div>
<!-- ======================================================================= -->
<h3>
<a name="aggregateconstants"></a> <!-- old anchor -->
<a name="complexconstants">Complex Constants</a>
</h3>
<div>
<p>Complex constants are a (potentially recursive) combination of simple
constants and smaller complex constants.</p>
<dl>
<dt><b>Structure constants</b></dt>
<dd>Structure constants are represented with notation similar to structure
type definitions (a comma separated list of elements, surrounded by braces
(<tt>{}</tt>)). For example: "<tt>{ i32 4, float 17.0, i32* @G }</tt>",
where "<tt>@G</tt>" is declared as "<tt>@G = external global i32</tt>".
Structure constants must have <a href="#t_struct">structure type</a>, and
the number and types of elements must match those specified by the
type.</dd>
<dt><b>Array constants</b></dt>
<dd>Array constants are represented with notation similar to array type
definitions (a comma separated list of elements, surrounded by square
brackets (<tt>[]</tt>)). For example: "<tt>[ i32 42, i32 11, i32 74
]</tt>". Array constants must have <a href="#t_array">array type</a>, and
the number and types of elements must match those specified by the
type.</dd>
<dt><b>Vector constants</b></dt>
<dd>Vector constants are represented with notation similar to vector type
definitions (a comma separated list of elements, surrounded by
less-than/greater-than's (<tt><></tt>)). For example: "<tt>< i32
42, i32 11, i32 74, i32 100 ></tt>". Vector constants must
have <a href="#t_vector">vector type</a>, and the number and types of
elements must match those specified by the type.</dd>
<dt><b>Zero initialization</b></dt>
<dd>The string '<tt>zeroinitializer</tt>' can be used to zero initialize a
value to zero of <em>any</em> type, including scalar and
<a href="#t_aggregate">aggregate</a> types.
This is often used to avoid having to print large zero initializers
(e.g. for large arrays) and is always exactly equivalent to using explicit
zero initializers.</dd>
<dt><b>Metadata node</b></dt>
<dd>A metadata node is a structure-like constant with
<a href="#t_metadata">metadata type</a>. For example: "<tt>metadata !{
i32 0, metadata !"test" }</tt>". Unlike other constants that are meant to
be interpreted as part of the instruction stream, metadata is a place to
attach additional information such as debug info.</dd>
</dl>
</div>
<!-- ======================================================================= -->
<h3>
<a name="globalconstants">Global Variable and Function Addresses</a>
</h3>
<div>
<p>The addresses of <a href="#globalvars">global variables</a>
and <a href="#functionstructure">functions</a> are always implicitly valid
(link-time) constants. These constants are explicitly referenced when
the <a href="#identifiers">identifier for the global</a> is used and always
have <a href="#t_pointer">pointer</a> type. For example, the following is a
legal LLVM file:</p>
<pre class="doc_code">
@X = global i32 17
@Y = global i32 42
@Z = global [2 x i32*] [ i32* @X, i32* @Y ]
</pre>
</div>
<!-- ======================================================================= -->
<h3>
<a name="undefvalues">Undefined Values</a>
</h3>
<div>
<p>The string '<tt>undef</tt>' can be used anywhere a constant is expected, and
indicates that the user of the value may receive an unspecified bit-pattern.
Undefined values may be of any type (other than '<tt>label</tt>'
or '<tt>void</tt>') and be used anywhere a constant is permitted.</p>
<p>Undefined values are useful because they indicate to the compiler that the
program is well defined no matter what value is used. This gives the
compiler more freedom to optimize. Here are some examples of (potentially
surprising) transformations that are valid (in pseudo IR):</p>
<pre class="doc_code">
%A = add %X, undef
%B = sub %X, undef
%C = xor %X, undef
Safe:
%A = undef
%B = undef
%C = undef
</pre>
<p>This is safe because all of the output bits are affected by the undef bits.
Any output bit can have a zero or one depending on the input bits.</p>
<pre class="doc_code">
%A = or %X, undef
%B = and %X, undef
Safe:
%A = -1
%B = 0
Unsafe:
%A = undef
%B = undef
</pre>
<p>These logical operations have bits that are not always affected by the input.
For example, if <tt>%X</tt> has a zero bit, then the output of the
'<tt>and</tt>' operation will always be a zero for that bit, no matter what
the corresponding bit from the '<tt>undef</tt>' is. As such, it is unsafe to
optimize or assume that the result of the '<tt>and</tt>' is '<tt>undef</tt>'.
However, it is safe to assume that all bits of the '<tt>undef</tt>' could be
0, and optimize the '<tt>and</tt>' to 0. Likewise, it is safe to assume that
all the bits of the '<tt>undef</tt>' operand to the '<tt>or</tt>' could be
set, allowing the '<tt>or</tt>' to be folded to -1.</p>
<pre class="doc_code">
%A = select undef, %X, %Y
%B = select undef, 42, %Y
%C = select %X, %Y, undef
Safe:
%A = %X (or %Y)
%B = 42 (or %Y)
%C = %Y
Unsafe:
%A = undef
%B = undef
%C = undef
</pre>
<p>This set of examples shows that undefined '<tt>select</tt>' (and conditional
branch) conditions can go <em>either way</em>, but they have to come from one
of the two operands. In the <tt>%A</tt> example, if <tt>%X</tt> and
<tt>%Y</tt> were both known to have a clear low bit, then <tt>%A</tt> would
have to have a cleared low bit. However, in the <tt>%C</tt> example, the
optimizer is allowed to assume that the '<tt>undef</tt>' operand could be the
same as <tt>%Y</tt>, allowing the whole '<tt>select</tt>' to be
eliminated.</p>
<pre class="doc_code">
%A = xor undef, undef
%B = undef
%C = xor %B, %B
%D = undef
%E = icmp lt %D, 4
%F = icmp gte %D, 4
Safe:
%A = undef
%B = undef
%C = undef
%D = undef
%E = undef
%F = undef
</pre>
<p>This example points out that two '<tt>undef</tt>' operands are not
necessarily the same. This can be surprising to people (and also matches C
semantics) where they assume that "<tt>X^X</tt>" is always zero, even
if <tt>X</tt> is undefined. This isn't true for a number of reasons, but the
short answer is that an '<tt>undef</tt>' "variable" can arbitrarily change
its value over its "live range". This is true because the variable doesn't
actually <em>have a live range</em>. Instead, the value is logically read
from arbitrary registers that happen to be around when needed, so the value
is not necessarily consistent over time. In fact, <tt>%A</tt> and <tt>%C</tt>
need to have the same semantics or the core LLVM "replace all uses with"
concept would not hold.</p>
<pre class="doc_code">
%A = fdiv undef, %X
%B = fdiv %X, undef
Safe:
%A = undef
b: unreachable
</pre>
<p>These examples show the crucial difference between an <em>undefined
value</em> and <em>undefined behavior</em>. An undefined value (like
'<tt>undef</tt>') is allowed to have an arbitrary bit-pattern. This means that
the <tt>%A</tt> operation can be constant folded to '<tt>undef</tt>', because
the '<tt>undef</tt>' could be an SNaN, and <tt>fdiv</tt> is not (currently)
defined on SNaN's. However, in the second example, we can make a more
aggressive assumption: because the <tt>undef</tt> is allowed to be an
arbitrary value, we are allowed to assume that it could be zero. Since a
divide by zero has <em>undefined behavior</em>, we are allowed to assume that
the operation does not execute at all. This allows us to delete the divide and
all code after it. Because the undefined operation "can't happen", the
optimizer can assume that it occurs in dead code.</p>
<pre class="doc_code">
a: store undef -> %X
b: store %X -> undef
Safe:
a: <deleted>
b: unreachable
</pre>
<p>These examples reiterate the <tt>fdiv</tt> example: a store <em>of</em> an
undefined value can be assumed to not have any effect; we can assume that the
value is overwritten with bits that happen to match what was already there.
However, a store <em>to</em> an undefined location could clobber arbitrary
memory, therefore, it has undefined behavior.</p>
</div>

<h3>
<a name="trapvalues">Trap Values</a>
</h3>
<div>
<p>Trap values are similar to <a href="#undefvalues">undef values</a>, however
instead of representing an unspecified bit pattern, they represent the
fact that an instruction or constant expression which cannot evoke side
effects has nevertheless detected a condition which results in undefined
behavior.</p>
<p>There is currently no way of representing a trap value in the IR; they
only exist when produced by operations such as
<a href="#i_add"><tt>add</tt></a> with the <tt>nsw</tt> flag.</p>
<p>Trap value behavior is defined in terms of value <i>dependence</i>:</p>
<ul>
<li>Values other than <a href="#i_phi"><tt>phi</tt></a> nodes depend on
their operands.</li>
<li><a href="#i_phi"><tt>Phi</tt></a> nodes depend on the operand corresponding
to their dynamic predecessor basic block.</li>
<li>Function arguments depend on the corresponding actual argument values in
the dynamic callers of their functions.</li>
<li><a href="#i_call"><tt>Call</tt></a> instructions depend on the
<a href="#i_ret"><tt>ret</tt></a> instructions that dynamically transfer
control back to them.</li>
<li><a href="#i_invoke"><tt>Invoke</tt></a> instructions depend on the
<a href="#i_ret"><tt>ret</tt></a>, <a href="#i_unwind"><tt>unwind</tt></a>,
or exception-throwing call instructions that dynamically transfer control
back to them.</li>
<li>Non-volatile loads and stores depend on the most recent stores to all of the
referenced memory addresses, following the order in the IR
(including loads and stores implied by intrinsics such as
<a href="#int_memcpy"><tt>@llvm.memcpy</tt></a>.)</li>
<!-- TODO: In the case of multiple threads, this only applies if the store
"happens-before" the load or store. -->
<!-- TODO: floating-point exception state -->
<li>An instruction with externally visible side effects depends on the most
recent preceding instruction with externally visible side effects, following
the order in the IR. (This includes
<a href="#volatile">volatile operations</a>.)</li>
<li>An instruction <i>control-depends</i> on a
<a href="#terminators">terminator instruction</a>
if the terminator instruction has multiple successors and the instruction
is always executed when control transfers to one of the successors, and
may not be executed when control is transferred to another.</li>
<li>Additionally, an instruction also <i>control-depends</i> on a terminator
instruction if the set of instructions it otherwise depends on would be
different if the terminator had transferred control to a different
successor.</li>
<li>Dependence is transitive.</li>
</ul>
<p>Whenever a trap value is generated, all values which depend on it evaluate
to trap. If they have side effects, they evoke their side effects as if each
operand with a trap value were undef. If they have externally-visible side
effects, the behavior is undefined.</p>
<p>Here are some examples:</p>
<pre class="doc_code">
entry:
%trap = sub nuw i32 0, 1 ; Results in a trap value.
%still_trap = and i32 %trap, 0 ; Whereas (and i32 undef, 0) would return 0.
%trap_yet_again = getelementptr i32* @h, i32 %still_trap
store i32 0, i32* %trap_yet_again ; undefined behavior
store i32 %trap, i32* @g ; Trap value conceptually stored to memory.
%trap2 = load i32* @g ; Returns a trap value, not just undef.
volatile store i32 %trap, i32* @g ; External observation; undefined behavior.
%narrowaddr = bitcast i32* @g to i16*
%wideaddr = bitcast i32* @g to i64*
%trap3 = load i16* %narrowaddr ; Returns a trap value.
%trap4 = load i64* %wideaddr ; Returns a trap value.
%cmp = icmp slt i32 %trap, 0 ; Returns a trap value.
br i1 %cmp, label %true, label %end ; Branch to either destination.
true:
volatile store i32 0, i32* @g ; This is control-dependent on %cmp, so
; it has undefined behavior.
br label %end
end:
%p = phi i32 [ 0, %entry ], [ 1, %true ]
; Both edges into this PHI are
; control-dependent on %cmp, so this
; always results in a trap value.
volatile store i32 0, i32* @g ; This would depend on the store in %true
; if %cmp is true, or the store in %entry
; otherwise, so this is undefined behavior.
br i1 %cmp, label %second_true, label %second_end
; The same branch again, but this time the
; true block doesn't have side effects.
second_true:
; No side effects!
ret void
second_end:
volatile store i32 0, i32* @g ; This time, the instruction always depends
; on the store in %end. Also, it is
; control-equivalent to %end, so this is
; well-defined (again, ignoring earlier
; undefined behavior in this example).
</pre>
</div>
<!-- ======================================================================= -->
<h3>
<a name="blockaddress">Addresses of Basic Blocks</a>
</h3>
<div>
<p><b><tt>blockaddress(@function, %block)</tt></b></p>
<p>The '<tt>blockaddress</tt>' constant computes the address of the specified
basic block in the specified function, and always has an i8* type. Taking
the address of the entry block is illegal.</p>
<p>This value only has defined behavior when used as an operand to the
'<a href="#i_indirectbr"><tt>indirectbr</tt></a>' instruction, or for
comparisons against null. Pointer equality tests between labels addresses
results in undefined behavior — though, again, comparison against null
is ok, and no label is equal to the null pointer. This may be passed around
as an opaque pointer sized value as long as the bits are not inspected. This
allows <tt>ptrtoint</tt> and arithmetic to be performed on these values so
long as the original value is reconstituted before the <tt>indirectbr</tt>
instruction.</p>
<p>Finally, some targets may provide defined semantics when using the value as
the operand to an inline assembly, but that is target specific.</p>

<h3>
<a name="inlineasm">Inline Assembler Expressions</a>
</h3>
<div>
<p>LLVM supports inline assembler expressions (as opposed
to <a href="#moduleasm"> Module-Level Inline Assembly</a>) through the use of
a special value. This value represents the inline assembler as a string
(containing the instructions to emit), a list of operand constraints (stored
as a string), a flag that indicates whether or not the inline asm
expression has side effects, and a flag indicating whether the function
containing the asm needs to align its stack conservatively. An example
inline assembler expression is:</p>
<pre class="doc_code">
i32 (i32) asm "bswap $0", "=r,r"
</pre>
<p>Inline assembler expressions may <b>only</b> be used as the callee operand of
a <a href="#i_call"><tt>call</tt> instruction</a>. Thus, typically we
have:</p>
<pre class="doc_code">
%X = call i32 asm "<a href="#int_bswap">bswap</a> $0", "=r,r"(i32 %Y)
</pre>
<p>Inline asms with side effects not visible in the constraint list must be
marked as having side effects. This is done through the use of the
'<tt>sideeffect</tt>' keyword, like so:</p>
<pre class="doc_code">
call void asm sideeffect "eieio", ""()
</pre>
<p>In some cases inline asms will contain code that will not work unless the
stack is aligned in some way, such as calls or SSE instructions on x86,
yet will not contain code that does that alignment within the asm.
The compiler should make conservative assumptions about what the asm might
contain and should generate its usual stack alignment code in the prologue
if the '<tt>alignstack</tt>' keyword is present:</p>
<pre class="doc_code">
call void asm alignstack "eieio", ""()
</pre>
<p>If both keywords appear the '<tt>sideeffect</tt>' keyword must come
first.</p>
<p>TODO: The format of the asm and constraints string still need to be
documented here. Constraints on what can be done (e.g. duplication, moving,
etc need to be documented). This is probably best done by reference to
another document that covers inline asm from a holistic perspective.</p>
<h4>
<a name="inlineasm_md">Inline Asm Metadata</a>
</h4>
<div>
<p>The call instructions that wrap inline asm nodes may have a "!srcloc" MDNode
attached to it that contains a list of constant integers. If present, the
code generator will use the integer as the location cookie value when report
errors through the LLVMContext error reporting mechanisms. This allows a
front-end to correlate backend errors that occur with inline asm back to the
source code that produced it. For example:</p>
<pre class="doc_code">
call void asm sideeffect "something bad", ""()<b>, !srcloc !42</b>
...
!42 = !{ i32 1234567 }
</pre>
<p>It is up to the front-end to make sense of the magic numbers it places in the
IR. If the MDNode contains multiple constants, the code generator will use
the one that corresponds to the line of the asm that the error occurs on.</p>

<h3>
<a name="metadata">Metadata Nodes and Metadata Strings</a>
</h3>
<div>
<p>LLVM IR allows metadata to be attached to instructions in the program that
can convey extra information about the code to the optimizers and code
generator. One example application of metadata is source-level debug
information. There are two metadata primitives: strings and nodes. All
metadata has the <tt>metadata</tt> type and is identified in syntax by a
preceding exclamation point ('<tt>!</tt>').</p>
<p>A metadata string is a string surrounded by double quotes. It can contain
any character by escaping non-printable characters with "\xx" where "xx" is
the two digit hex code. For example: "<tt>!"test\00"</tt>".</p>
<p>Metadata nodes are represented with notation similar to structure constants
(a comma separated list of elements, surrounded by braces and preceded by an
exclamation point). For example: "<tt>!{ metadata !"test\00", i32
10}</tt>". Metadata nodes can have any values as their operand.</p>
<p>A <a href="#namedmetadatastructure">named metadata</a> is a collection of
metadata nodes, which can be looked up in the module symbol table. For
example: "<tt>!foo = metadata !{!4, !3}</tt>".
<p>Metadata can be used as function arguments. Here <tt>llvm.dbg.value</tt>
function is using two metadata arguments.</p>
<div class="doc_code">
<pre>
call void @llvm.dbg.value(metadata !24, i64 0, metadata !25)
</pre>
</div>
<p>Metadata can be attached with an instruction. Here metadata <tt>!21</tt> is
attached with <tt>add</tt> instruction using <tt>!dbg</tt> identifier.</p>

<div>
<p>LLVM has a number of "magic" global variables that contain data that affect
code generation or other IR semantics. These are documented here. All globals
of this sort should have a section specified as "<tt>llvm.metadata</tt>". This
section and all globals that start with "<tt>llvm.</tt>" are reserved for use

<!-- ======================================================================= -->
<h3>
<a name="intg_used">The '<tt>llvm.used</tt>' Global Variable</a>
</h3>
<div>
<p>The <tt>@llvm.used</tt> global is an array with i8* element type which has <a
href="#linkage_appending">appending linkage</a>. This array contains a list of
pointers to global variables and functions which may optionally have a pointer
cast formed of bitcast or getelementptr. For example, a legal use of it is:</p>
<pre>
@X = global i8 4
@Y = global i32 123
@llvm.used = appending global [2 x i8*] [
i8* @X,
i8* bitcast (i32* @Y to i8*)
], section "llvm.metadata"
</pre>
<p>If a global variable appears in the <tt>@llvm.used</tt> list, then the
compiler, assembler, and linker are required to treat the symbol as if there is
a reference to the global that it cannot see. For example, if a variable has
internal linkage and no references other than that from the <tt>@llvm.used</tt>
list, it cannot be deleted. This is commonly used to represent references from
inline asms and other things the compiler cannot "see", and corresponds to
"attribute((used))" in GNU C.</p>
<p>On some targets, the code generator must emit a directive to the assembler or
object file to prevent the assembler and linker from molesting the symbol.</p>

<h3>
<a name="terminators">Terminator Instructions</a>
</h3>
<div>
<p>As mentioned <a href="#functionstructure">previously</a>, every basic block
in a program ends with a "Terminator" instruction, which indicates which
block should be executed after the current block is finished. These
terminator instructions typically yield a '<tt>void</tt>' value: they produce
control flow, not values (the one exception being the
'<a href="#i_invoke"><tt>invoke</tt></a>' instruction).</p>
<p>The terminator instructions are:
'<a href="#i_ret"><tt>ret</tt></a>',
'<a href="#i_br"><tt>br</tt></a>',
'<a href="#i_switch"><tt>switch</tt></a>',
'<a href="#i_indirectbr"><tt>indirectbr</tt></a>',

<h4>
<a name="i_ret">'<tt>ret</tt>' Instruction</a>
</h4>
<div>
<h5>Syntax:</h5>
<pre>
ret <type> <value> <i>; Return a value from a non-void function</i>
ret void <i>; Return from void function</i>
</pre>
<h5>Overview:</h5>
<p>The '<tt>ret</tt>' instruction is used to return control flow (and optionally
a value) from a function back to the caller.</p>
<p>There are two forms of the '<tt>ret</tt>' instruction: one that returns a
value and then causes control flow, and one that just causes control flow to
occur.</p>
<h5>Arguments:</h5>
<p>The '<tt>ret</tt>' instruction optionally accepts a single argument, the
return value. The type of the return value must be a
'<a href="#t_firstclass">first class</a>' type.</p>
<p>A function is not <a href="#wellformed">well formed</a> if it it has a
non-void return type and contains a '<tt>ret</tt>' instruction with no return
value or a return value with a type that does not match its type, or if it
has a void return type and contains a '<tt>ret</tt>' instruction with a
return value.</p>
<h5>Semantics:</h5>
<p>When the '<tt>ret</tt>' instruction is executed, control flow returns back to
the calling function's context. If the caller is a
"<a href="#i_call"><tt>call</tt></a>" instruction, execution continues at the
instruction after the call. If the caller was an
"<a href="#i_invoke"><tt>invoke</tt></a>" instruction, execution continues at
the beginning of the "normal" destination block. If the instruction returns
a value, that value shall set the call or invoke instruction's return
value.</p>
<h5>Example:</h5>
<pre>
ret i32 5 <i>; Return an integer value of 5</i>
ret void <i>; Return from a void function</i>
ret { i32, i8 } { i32 4, i8 2 } <i>; Return a struct of values 4 and 2</i>
</pre>
</div>
<!-- _______________________________________________________________________ -->
<h4>
<a name="i_br">'<tt>br</tt>' Instruction</a>
</h4>
<div>
<h5>Syntax:</h5>
<pre>
br i1 <cond>, label <iftrue>, label <iffalse>
br label <dest> <i>; Unconditional branch</i>
</pre>
<h5>Overview:</h5>
<p>The '<tt>br</tt>' instruction is used to cause control flow to transfer to a
different basic block in the current function. There are two forms of this
instruction, corresponding to a conditional branch and an unconditional
branch.</p>
<h5>Arguments:</h5>
<p>The conditional branch form of the '<tt>br</tt>' instruction takes a single
'<tt>i1</tt>' value and two '<tt>label</tt>' values. The unconditional form
of the '<tt>br</tt>' instruction takes a single '<tt>label</tt>' value as a
target.</p>
<h5>Semantics:</h5>
<p>Upon execution of a conditional '<tt>br</tt>' instruction, the '<tt>i1</tt>'
argument is evaluated. If the value is <tt>true</tt>, control flows to the
'<tt>iftrue</tt>' <tt>label</tt> argument. If "cond" is <tt>false</tt>,
control flows to the '<tt>iffalse</tt>' <tt>label</tt> argument.</p>
<h5>Example:</h5>
<pre>
Test:
%cond = <a href="#i_icmp">icmp</a> eq i32 %a, %b
br i1 %cond, label %IfEqual, label %IfUnequal
IfEqual:
<a href="#i_ret">ret</a> i32 1

<a href="#i_ret">ret</a> i32 0

<!-- _______________________________________________________________________ -->
<h4>
<a name="i_switch">'<tt>switch</tt>' Instruction</a>
</h4>
<div>
<h5>Syntax:</h5>
<pre>
switch <intty> <value>, label <defaultdest> [ <intty> <val>, label <dest> ... ]
</pre>
<h5>Overview:</h5>
<p>The '<tt>switch</tt>' instruction is used to transfer control flow to one of
several different places. It is a generalization of the '<tt>br</tt>'
instruction, allowing a branch to occur to one of many possible
destinations.</p>
<h5>Arguments:</h5>
<p>The '<tt>switch</tt>' instruction uses three parameters: an integer
comparison value '<tt>value</tt>', a default '<tt>label</tt>' destination,
and an array of pairs of comparison value constants and '<tt>label</tt>'s.
The table is not allowed to contain duplicate constant entries.</p>
<h5>Semantics:</h5>
<p>The <tt>switch</tt> instruction specifies a table of values and
destinations. When the '<tt>switch</tt>' instruction is executed, this table
is searched for the given value. If the value is found, control flow is
transferred to the corresponding destination; otherwise, control flow is
transferred to the default destination.</p>
<h5>Implementation:</h5>
<p>Depending on properties of the target machine and the particular
<tt>switch</tt> instruction, this instruction may be code generated in
different ways. For example, it could be generated as a series of chained
conditional branches or with a lookup table.</p>
<h5>Example:</h5>
<pre>
<i>; Emulate a conditional br instruction</i>
%Val = <a href="#i_zext">zext</a> i1 %value to i32
switch i32 %Val, label %truedest [ i32 0, label %falsedest ]
<i>; Emulate an unconditional br instruction</i>
switch i32 0, label %dest [ ]
<i>; Implement a jump table:</i>
switch i32 %val, label %otherwise [ i32 0, label %onzero
i32 1, label %onone
i32 2, label %ontwo ]
</pre>
</div>
<!-- _______________________________________________________________________ -->
<h4>
<a name="i_indirectbr">'<tt>indirectbr</tt>' Instruction</a>
</h4>
<div>
<h5>Syntax:</h5>
<pre>
indirectbr <somety>* <address>, [ label <dest1>, label <dest2>, ... ]
</pre>
<h5>Overview:</h5>
<p>The '<tt>indirectbr</tt>' instruction implements an indirect branch to a label
within the current function, whose address is specified by
"<tt>address</tt>". Address must be derived from a <a
href="#blockaddress">blockaddress</a> constant.</p>
<h5>Arguments:</h5>
<p>The '<tt>address</tt>' argument is the address of the label to jump to. The
rest of the arguments indicate the full set of possible destinations that the
address may point to. Blocks are allowed to occur multiple times in the
destination list, though this isn't particularly useful.</p>
<p>This destination list is required so that dataflow analysis has an accurate
understanding of the CFG.</p>
<h5>Semantics:</h5>
<p>Control transfers to the block specified in the address argument. All
possible destination blocks must be listed in the label list, otherwise this
instruction has undefined behavior. This implies that jumps to labels
defined in other functions have undefined behavior as well.</p>
<h5>Implementation:</h5>
<p>This is typically implemented with a jump through a register.</p>
<h5>Example:</h5>
<pre>
indirectbr i8* %Addr, [ label %bb1, label %bb2, label %bb3 ]
</pre>
</div>
<!-- _______________________________________________________________________ -->
<h4>
<a name="i_invoke">'<tt>invoke</tt>' Instruction</a>
</h4>
<div>
<h5>Syntax:</h5>
<pre>
<result> = invoke [<a href="#callingconv">cconv</a>] [<a href="#paramattrs">ret attrs</a>] <ptr to function ty> <function ptr val>(<function args>) [<a href="#fnattrs">fn attrs</a>]
to label <normal label> unwind label <exception label>
</pre>
<h5>Overview:</h5>
<p>The '<tt>invoke</tt>' instruction causes control to transfer to a specified
function, with the possibility of control flow transfer to either the
'<tt>normal</tt>' label or the '<tt>exception</tt>' label. If the callee
function returns with the "<tt><a href="#i_ret">ret</a></tt>" instruction,
control flow will return to the "normal" label. If the callee (or any
indirect callees) returns with the "<a href="#i_unwind"><tt>unwind</tt></a>"
instruction, control is interrupted and continued at the dynamically nearest
"exception" label.</p>
<p>The '<tt>exception</tt>' label is a
<i><a href="ExceptionHandling.html#overview">landing pad</a></i> for the
exception. As such, '<tt>exception</tt>' label is required to have the
"<a href="#i_landingpad"><tt>landingpad</tt></a>" instruction, which contains
the information about about the behavior of the program after unwinding
happens, as its first non-PHI instruction. The restrictions on the
"<tt>landingpad</tt>" instruction's tightly couples it to the
"<tt>invoke</tt>" instruction, so that the important information contained
within the "<tt>landingpad</tt>" instruction can't be lost through normal
code motion.</p>
<h5>Arguments:</h5>
<p>This instruction requires several arguments:</p>
<ol>
<li>The optional "cconv" marker indicates which <a href="#callingconv">calling
convention</a> the call should use. If none is specified, the call
defaults to using C calling conventions.</li>
<li>The optional <a href="#paramattrs">Parameter Attributes</a> list for
return values. Only '<tt>zeroext</tt>', '<tt>signext</tt>', and
'<tt>inreg</tt>' attributes are valid here.</li>
<li>'<tt>ptr to function ty</tt>': shall be the signature of the pointer to
function value being invoked. In most cases, this is a direct function
invocation, but indirect <tt>invoke</tt>s are just as possible, branching
off an arbitrary pointer to function value.</li>
<li>'<tt>function ptr val</tt>': An LLVM value containing a pointer to a
function to be invoked. </li>
<li>'<tt>function args</tt>': argument list whose types match the function
signature argument types and parameter attributes. All arguments must be
of <a href="#t_firstclass">first class</a> type. If the function
signature indicates the function accepts a variable number of arguments,
the extra arguments can be specified.</li>
<li>'<tt>normal label</tt>': the label reached when the called function
executes a '<tt><a href="#i_ret">ret</a></tt>' instruction. </li>
<li>'<tt>exception label</tt>': the label reached when a callee returns with
the <a href="#i_unwind"><tt>unwind</tt></a> instruction. </li>
<li>The optional <a href="#fnattrs">function attributes</a> list. Only
'<tt>noreturn</tt>', '<tt>nounwind</tt>', '<tt>readonly</tt>' and
'<tt>readnone</tt>' attributes are valid here.</li>
</ol>
<h5>Semantics:</h5>
<p>This instruction is designed to operate as a standard
'<tt><a href="#i_call">call</a></tt>' instruction in most regards. The
primary difference is that it establishes an association with a label, which
is used by the runtime library to unwind the stack.</p>
<p>This instruction is used in languages with destructors to ensure that proper
cleanup is performed in the case of either a <tt>longjmp</tt> or a thrown
exception. Additionally, this is important for implementation of
'<tt>catch</tt>' clauses in high-level languages that support them.</p>
<p>For the purposes of the SSA form, the definition of the value returned by the
'<tt>invoke</tt>' instruction is deemed to occur on the edge from the current
block to the "normal" label. If the callee unwinds then no return value is
available.</p>
<p>Note that the code generator does not yet completely support unwind, and
that the invoke/unwind semantics are likely to change in future versions.</p>
<h5>Example:</h5>
<pre>
%retval = invoke i32 @Test(i32 15) to label %Continue
unwind label %TestCleanup <i>; {i32}:retval set</i>
%retval = invoke <a href="#callingconv">coldcc</a> i32 %Testfnptr(i32 15) to label %Continue
unwind label %TestCleanup <i>; {i32}:retval set</i>
</pre>

<!-- _______________________________________________________________________ -->
<h4>
<a name="i_unwind">'<tt>unwind</tt>' Instruction</a>
</h4>
<div>
<h5>Syntax:</h5>
<pre>
unwind
</pre>
<h5>Overview:</h5>
<p>The '<tt>unwind</tt>' instruction unwinds the stack, continuing control flow
at the first callee in the dynamic call stack which used
an <a href="#i_invoke"><tt>invoke</tt></a> instruction to perform the call.
This is primarily used to implement exception handling.</p>
<h5>Semantics:</h5>
<p>The '<tt>unwind</tt>' instruction causes execution of the current function to
immediately halt. The dynamic call stack is then searched for the
first <a href="#i_invoke"><tt>invoke</tt></a> instruction on the call stack.
Once found, execution continues at the "exceptional" destination block
specified by the <tt>invoke</tt> instruction. If there is no <tt>invoke</tt>
instruction in the dynamic call chain, undefined behavior results.</p>
<p>Note that the code generator does not yet completely support unwind, and
that the invoke/unwind semantics are likely to change in future versions.</p>

<h5>Arguments:</h5>
<p>The '<tt>resume</tt>' instruction requires one argument, which must have the
same type as the result of any '<tt>landingpad</tt>' instruction in the same
function.</p>
<h5>Semantics:</h5>
<p>The '<tt>resume</tt>' instruction resumes propagation of an existing
(in-flight) exception whose unwinding was interrupted with
a <a href="#i_landingpad"><tt>landingpad</tt></a> instruction.</p>

<h5>Overview:</h5>
<p>The '<tt>add</tt>' instruction returns the sum of its two operands.</p>
<h5>Arguments:</h5>

as the divisor, <tt>op2</tt>) of a value.
For more information about the difference,
see <a href="http://mathforum.org/dr.math/problems/anne.4.28.99.html">The
Math Forum</a>. For a table of how this is implemented in various languages,

<p>Taking the remainder of a division by zero leads to undefined behavior.
Overflow also leads to undefined behavior; this is a rare case, but can
occur, for example, by taking the remainder of a 32-bit division of
-2147483648 by -1. (The remainder doesn't actually overflow, but this rule
lets srem be implemented using instructions that return both the result of
the division and the remainder.)</p>

<p>Bitwise binary operators are used to do various forms of bit-twiddling in a
program. They are generally very efficient instructions and can commonly be
strength reduced from other instructions. They require two operands of the
same type, execute an operation on them, and produce a single value. The
resulting value is the same type as its operands.</p>

<h5>Semantics:</h5>
<p>The value produced is <tt>op1</tt> * 2<sup><tt>op2</tt></sup> mod

<p>If the <tt>nuw</tt> keyword is present, then the shift produces a
<a href="#trapvalues">trap value</a> if it shifts out any non-zero bits. If
the <tt>nsw</tt> keyword is present, then the shift produces a

<p>LLVM supports several instructions to represent vector operations in a
target-independent manner. These instructions cover the element-access and
vector-specific operations needed to process vectors effectively. While LLVM
does directly support these vector operations, many sophisticated algorithms
will want to use target-specific intrinsics to take full advantage of a
specific target.</p>

</h4>
<div>
<h5>Syntax:</h5>
<pre>
<result> = extractelement <n x <ty>> <val>, i32 <idx> <i>; yields <ty></i>
</pre>
<h5>Overview:</h5>
<p>The '<tt>extractelement</tt>' instruction extracts a single scalar element
from a vector at a specified index.</p>
<h5>Arguments:</h5>
<p>The first operand of an '<tt>extractelement</tt>' instruction is a value
of <a href="#t_vector">vector</a> type. The second operand is an index
indicating the position from which to extract the element. The index may be
a variable.</p>
<h5>Semantics:</h5>
<p>The result is a scalar of the same type as the element type of
<tt>val</tt>. Its value is the value at position <tt>idx</tt> of
<tt>val</tt>. If <tt>idx</tt> exceeds the length of <tt>val</tt>, the
results are undefined.</p>

<h5>Overview:</h5>
<p>The '<tt>insertelement</tt>' instruction inserts a scalar element into a
vector at a specified index.</p>
<h5>Arguments:</h5>
<p>The first operand of an '<tt>insertelement</tt>' instruction is a value
of <a href="#t_vector">vector</a> type. The second operand is a scalar value
whose type must equal the element type of the first operand. The third
operand is an index indicating the position at which to insert the value.
The index may be a variable.</p>
<h5>Semantics:</h5>
<p>The result is a vector of the same type as <tt>val</tt>. Its element values
are those of <tt>val</tt> except at position <tt>idx</tt>, where it gets the
value <tt>elt</tt>. If <tt>idx</tt> exceeds the length of <tt>val</tt>, the

<h5>Syntax:</h5>
<pre>
<result> = shufflevector <n x <ty>> <v1>, <n x <ty>> <v2>, <m x i32> <mask> <i>; yields <m x <ty>></i>
</pre>
<h5>Overview:</h5>
<p>The '<tt>shufflevector</tt>' instruction constructs a permutation of elements
from two input vectors, returning a vector with the same element type as the
input and length that is the same as the shuffle mask.</p>
<h5>Arguments:</h5>
<p>The first two operands of a '<tt>shufflevector</tt>' instruction are vectors
with types that match each other. The third argument is a shuffle mask whose
element type is always 'i32'. The result of the instruction is a vector
whose length is the same as the shuffle mask and whose element type is the
same as the element type of the first two operands.</p>
<p>The shuffle mask operand is required to be a constant vector with either
constant integer or undef values.</p>
<h5>Semantics:</h5>
<p>The elements of the two input vectors are numbered from left to right across
both of the vectors. The shuffle mask operand specifies, for each element of
the result vector, which element of the two input vectors the result element
gets. The element selector may be undef (meaning "don't care") and the
second operand may be undef if performing a shuffle from only one vector.</p>
<h5>Example:</h5>
<pre>
<result> = shufflevector <4 x i32> %v1, <4 x i32> %v2,
<4 x i32> <i32 0, i32 4, i32 1, i32 5> <i>; yields <4 x i32></i>
<result> = shufflevector <4 x i32> %v1, <4 x i32> undef,
<4 x i32> <i32 0, i32 1, i32 2, i32 3> <i>; yields <4 x i32></i> - Identity shuffle.
<result> = shufflevector <8 x i32> %v1, <8 x i32> undef,
<4 x i32> <i32 0, i32 1, i32 2, i32 3> <i>; yields <4 x i32></i>

<h5>Overview:</h5>
<p>The '<tt>extractvalue</tt>' instruction extracts the value of a member field
from an <a href="#t_aggregate">aggregate</a> value.</p>
<h5>Arguments:</h5>
<p>The first operand of an '<tt>extractvalue</tt>' instruction is a value
of <a href="#t_struct">struct</a> or
<a href="#t_array">array</a> type. The operands are constant indices to
specify which value to extract in a similar manner as indices in a
'<tt><a href="#i_getelementptr">getelementptr</a></tt>' instruction.</p>
<p>The major differences to <tt>getelementptr</tt> indexing are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Since the value being indexed is not a pointer, the first index is
omitted and assumed to be zero.</li>
<li>At least one index must be specified.</li>
<li>Not only struct indices but also array indices must be in

</ul>
<h5>Semantics:</h5>
<p>The result is the value at the position in the aggregate specified by the

<h5>Overview:</h5>
<p>The '<tt>insertvalue</tt>' instruction inserts a value into a member field

<h5>Arguments:</h5>
<p>The first operand of an '<tt>insertvalue</tt>' instruction is a value

'<tt><a href="#i_extractvalue">extractvalue</a></tt>' instruction. The
value to insert must have the same type as the value identified by the

<div>
<p>A key design point of an SSA-based representation is how it represents

<h4>
<a name="i_alloca">'<tt>alloca</tt>' Instruction</a>
</h4>
<div>
<h5>Syntax:</h5>
<pre>
<result> = alloca <type>[, <ty> <NumElements>][, align <alignment>] <i>; yields {type*}:result</i>
</pre>
<h5>Overview:</h5>
<p>The '<tt>alloca</tt>' instruction allocates memory on the stack frame of the
currently executing function, to be automatically released when this function
returns to its caller. The object is always allocated in the generic address
space (address space zero).</p>
<h5>Arguments:</h5>
<p>The '<tt>alloca</tt>' instruction
allocates <tt>sizeof(<type>)*NumElements</tt> bytes of memory on the
runtime stack, returning a pointer of the appropriate type to the program.
If "NumElements" is specified, it is the number of elements allocated,
otherwise "NumElements" is defaulted to be one. If a constant alignment is
specified, the value result of the allocation is guaranteed to be aligned to
at least that boundary. If not specified, or if zero, the target can choose
to align the allocation on any convenient boundary compatible with the
type.</p>
<p>'<tt>type</tt>' may be any sized type.</p>
<h5>Semantics:</h5>
<p>Memory is allocated; a pointer is returned. The operation is undefined if
there is insufficient stack space for the allocation. '<tt>alloca</tt>'d
memory is automatically released when the function returns. The
'<tt>alloca</tt>' instruction is commonly used to represent automatic
variables that must have an address available. When the function returns
(either with the <tt><a href="#i_ret">ret</a></tt>
or <tt><a href="#i_unwind">unwind</a></tt> instructions), the memory is
reclaimed. Allocating zero bytes is legal, but the result is undefined.</p>
<h5>Example:</h5>
<pre>
%ptr = alloca i32 <i>; yields {i32*}:ptr</i>
%ptr = alloca i32, i32 4 <i>; yields {i32*}:ptr</i>
%ptr = alloca i32, i32 4, align 1024 <i>; yields {i32*}:ptr</i>

<result> = load atomic [volatile] <ty>* <pointer> [singlethread] <ordering>, align <alignment>
!<index> = !{ i32 1 }
</pre>
<h5>Overview:</h5>
<p>The '<tt>load</tt>' instruction is used to read from memory.</p>
<h5>Arguments:</h5>
<p>The argument to the '<tt>load</tt>' instruction specifies the memory address
from which to load. The pointer must point to
a <a href="#t_firstclass">first class</a> type. If the <tt>load</tt> is
marked as <tt>volatile</tt>, then the optimizer is not allowed to modify the
number or order of execution of this <tt>load</tt> with other <a
href="#volatile">volatile operations</a>.</p>
<p>If the <code>load</code> is marked as <code>atomic</code>, it takes an extra
<a href="#ordering">ordering</a> and optional <code>singlethread</code>
argument. The <code>release</code> and <code>acq_rel</code> orderings are
not valid on <code>load</code> instructions. Atomic loads produce <a
href="#memorymodel">defined</a> results when they may see multiple atomic
stores. The type of the pointee must be an integer type whose bit width
is a power of two greater than or equal to eight and less than or equal
to a target-specific size limit. <code>align</code> must be explicitly
specified on atomic loads, and the load has undefined behavior if the
alignment is not set to a value which is at least the size in bytes of
the pointee. <code>!nontemporal</code> does not have any defined semantics
for atomic loads.</p>
<p>The optional constant <tt>align</tt> argument specifies the alignment of the
operation (that is, the alignment of the memory address). A value of 0 or an
omitted <tt>align</tt> argument means that the operation has the preferential
alignment for the target. It is the responsibility of the code emitter to
ensure that the alignment information is correct. Overestimating the
alignment results in undefined behavior. Underestimating the alignment may
produce less efficient code. An alignment of 1 is always safe.</p>
<p>The optional <tt>!nontemporal</tt> metadata must reference a single
metatadata name <index> corresponding to a metadata node with
one <tt>i32</tt> entry of value 1. The existence of
the <tt>!nontemporal</tt> metatadata on the instruction tells the optimizer
and code generator that this load is not expected to be reused in the cache.
The code generator may select special instructions to save cache bandwidth,
such as the <tt>MOVNT</tt> instruction on x86.</p>
<h5>Semantics:</h5>
<p>The location of memory pointed to is loaded. If the value being loaded is of
scalar type then the number of bytes read does not exceed the minimum number
of bytes needed to hold all bits of the type. For example, loading an
<tt>i24</tt> reads at most three bytes. When loading a value of a type like
<tt>i20</tt> with a size that is not an integral number of bytes, the result
is undefined if the value was not originally written using a store of the
same type.</p>
<h5>Examples:</h5>
<pre>
%ptr = <a href="#i_alloca">alloca</a> i32 <i>; yields {i32*}:ptr</i>
<a href="#i_store">store</a> i32 3, i32* %ptr <i>; yields {void}</i>

store atomic [volatile] <ty> <value>, <ty>* <pointer> [singlethread] <ordering>, align <alignment> <i>; yields {void}</i>
</pre>
<h5>Overview:</h5>
<p>The '<tt>store</tt>' instruction is used to write to memory.</p>
<h5>Arguments:</h5>
<p>There are two arguments to the '<tt>store</tt>' instruction: a value to store
and an address at which to store it. The type of the
'<tt><pointer></tt>' operand must be a pointer to
the <a href="#t_firstclass">first class</a> type of the
'<tt><value></tt>' operand. If the <tt>store</tt> is marked as
<tt>volatile</tt>, then the optimizer is not allowed to modify the number or
order of execution of this <tt>store</tt> with other <a
href="#volatile">volatile operations</a>.</p>
<p>If the <code>store</code> is marked as <code>atomic</code>, it takes an extra
<a href="#ordering">ordering</a> and optional <code>singlethread</code>
argument. The <code>acquire</code> and <code>acq_rel</code> orderings aren't
valid on <code>store</code> instructions. Atomic loads produce <a
href="#memorymodel">defined</a> results when they may see multiple atomic
stores. The type of the pointee must be an integer type whose bit width
is a power of two greater than or equal to eight and less than or equal
to a target-specific size limit. <code>align</code> must be explicitly
specified on atomic stores, and the store has undefined behavior if the
alignment is not set to a value which is at least the size in bytes of
the pointee. <code>!nontemporal</code> does not have any defined semantics
for atomic stores.</p>
<p>The optional constant "align" argument specifies the alignment of the
operation (that is, the alignment of the memory address). A value of 0 or an
omitted "align" argument means that the operation has the preferential
alignment for the target. It is the responsibility of the code emitter to
ensure that the alignment information is correct. Overestimating the
alignment results in an undefined behavior. Underestimating the alignment may
produce less efficient code. An alignment of 1 is always safe.</p>
<p>The optional !nontemporal metadata must reference a single metatadata
name <index> corresponding to a metadata node with one i32 entry of
value 1. The existence of the !nontemporal metatadata on the
instruction tells the optimizer and code generator that this load is
not expected to be reused in the cache. The code generator may
select special instructions to save cache bandwidth, such as the
MOVNT instruction on x86.</p>
<h5>Semantics:</h5>
<p>The contents of memory are updated to contain '<tt><value></tt>' at the
location specified by the '<tt><pointer></tt>' operand. If
'<tt><value></tt>' is of scalar type then the number of bytes written
does not exceed the minimum number of bytes needed to hold all bits of the
type. For example, storing an <tt>i24</tt> writes at most three bytes. When
writing a value of a type like <tt>i20</tt> with a size that is not an
integral number of bytes, it is unspecified what happens to the extra bits
that do not belong to the type, but they will typically be overwritten.</p>
<h5>Example:</h5>
<pre>
%ptr = <a href="#i_alloca">alloca</a> i32 <i>; yields {i32*}:ptr</i>
store i32 3, i32* %ptr <i>; yields {void}</i>

<h5>Overview:</h5>
<p>The '<tt>fence</tt>' instruction is used to introduce happens-before edges
between operations.</p>
<h5>Arguments:</h5> <p>'<code>fence</code>' instructions take an <a
href="#ordering">ordering</a> argument which defines what
<i>synchronizes-with</i> edges they add. They can only be given
<code>acquire</code>, <code>release</code>, <code>acq_rel</code>, and
<code>seq_cst</code> orderings.</p>
<h5>Semantics:</h5>
<p>A fence <var>A</var> which has (at least) <code>release</code> ordering
semantics <i>synchronizes with</i> a fence <var>B</var> with (at least)
<code>acquire</code> ordering semantics if and only if there exist atomic
operations <var>X</var> and <var>Y</var>, both operating on some atomic object
<var>M</var>, such that <var>A</var> is sequenced before <var>X</var>,
<var>X</var> modifies <var>M</var> (either directly or through some side effect
of a sequence headed by <var>X</var>), <var>Y</var> is sequenced before
<var>B</var>, and <var>Y</var> observes <var>M</var>. This provides a
<i>happens-before</i> dependency between <var>A</var> and <var>B</var>. Rather
than an explicit <code>fence</code>, one (but not both) of the atomic operations
<var>X</var> or <var>Y</var> might provide a <code>release</code> or
<code>acquire</code> (resp.) ordering constraint and still
<i>synchronize-with</i> the explicit <code>fence</code> and establish the
<i>happens-before</i> edge.</p>
<p>A <code>fence</code> which has <code>seq_cst</code> ordering, in addition to
having both <code>acquire</code> and <code>release</code> semantics specified
above, participates in the global program order of other <code>seq_cst</code>
operations and/or fences.</p>
<p>The optional "<a href="#singlethread"><code>singlethread</code></a>" argument

<h5>Overview:</h5>
<p>The '<tt>cmpxchg</tt>' instruction is used to atomically modify memory.
It loads a value in memory and compares it to a given value. If they are
equal, it stores a new value into the memory.</p>
<h5>Arguments:</h5>
<p>There are three arguments to the '<code>cmpxchg</code>' instruction: an
address to operate on, a value to compare to the value currently be at that
address, and a new value to place at that address if the compared values are
equal. The type of '<var><cmp></var>' must be an integer type whose
bit width is a power of two greater than or equal to eight and less than
or equal to a target-specific size limit. '<var><cmp></var>' and
'<var><new></var>' must have the same type, and the type of
'<var><pointer></var>' must be a pointer to that type. If the
<code>cmpxchg</code> is marked as <code>volatile</code>, then the
optimizer is not allowed to modify the number or order of execution
of this <code>cmpxchg</code> with other <a href="#volatile">volatile
operations</a>.</p>
<!-- FIXME: Extend allowed types. -->
<p>The <a href="#ordering"><var>ordering</var></a> argument specifies how this
<code>cmpxchg</code> synchronizes with other atomic operations.</p>
<p>The optional "<code>singlethread</code>" argument declares that the
<code>cmpxchg</code> is only atomic with respect to code (usually signal
handlers) running in the same thread as the <code>cmpxchg</code>. Otherwise the
cmpxchg is atomic with respect to all other code in the system.</p>
<p>The pointer passed into cmpxchg must have alignment greater than or equal to
the size in memory of the operand.
<h5>Semantics:</h5>
<p>The contents of memory at the location specified by the
'<tt><pointer></tt>' operand is read and compared to
'<tt><cmp></tt>'; if the read value is the equal,
'<tt><new></tt>' is written. The original value at the location
is returned.
<p>A successful <code>cmpxchg</code> is a read-modify-write instruction for the
purpose of identifying <a href="#release_sequence">release sequences</a>. A
failed <code>cmpxchg</code> is equivalent to an atomic load with an ordering
parameter determined by dropping any <code>release</code> part of the

<a name="i_getelementptr">'<tt>getelementptr</tt>' Instruction</a>
</h4>
<div>
<h5>Syntax:</h5>
<pre>
<result> = getelementptr <pty>* <ptrval>{, <ty> <idx>}*
<result> = getelementptr inbounds <pty>* <ptrval>{, <ty> <idx>}*
</pre>
<h5>Overview:</h5>
<p>The '<tt>getelementptr</tt>' instruction is used to get the address of a
subelement of an <a href="#t_aggregate">aggregate</a> data structure.
It performs address calculation only and does not access memory.</p>
<h5>Arguments:</h5>
<p>The first argument is always a pointer, and forms the basis of the
calculation. The remaining arguments are indices that indicate which of the
elements of the aggregate object are indexed. The interpretation of each
index is dependent on the type being indexed into. The first index always
indexes the pointer value given as the first argument, the second index
indexes a value of the type pointed to (not necessarily the value directly
pointed to, since the first index can be non-zero), etc. The first type
indexed into must be a pointer value, subsequent types can be arrays,
vectors, and structs. Note that subsequent types being indexed into
can never be pointers, since that would require loading the pointer before
continuing calculation.</p>
<p>The type of each index argument depends on the type it is indexing into.
When indexing into a (optionally packed) structure, only <tt>i32</tt>
integer <b>constants</b> are allowed. When indexing into an array, pointer
or vector, integers of any width are allowed, and they are not required to be
constant. These integers are treated as signed values where relevant.</p>
<p>For example, let's consider a C code fragment and how it gets compiled to
LLVM:</p>
<pre class="doc_code">
struct RT {
char A;
int B[10][20];
char C;
};
struct ST {
int X;
double Y;
struct RT Z;
};
int *foo(struct ST *s) {
return &s[1].Z.B[5][13];
}
</pre>
<p>The LLVM code generated by the GCC frontend is:</p>
<pre class="doc_code">
%RT = <a href="#namedtypes">type</a> { i8 , [10 x [20 x i32]], i8 }
%ST = <a href="#namedtypes">type</a> { i32, double, %RT }
define i32* @foo(%ST* %s) {
entry:
%reg = getelementptr %ST* %s, i32 1, i32 2, i32 1, i32 5, i32 13
ret i32* %reg
}
</pre>
<h5>Semantics:</h5>
<p>In the example above, the first index is indexing into the '<tt>%ST*</tt>'
type, which is a pointer, yielding a '<tt>%ST</tt>' = '<tt>{ i32, double, %RT
}</tt>' type, a structure. The second index indexes into the third element
of the structure, yielding a '<tt>%RT</tt>' = '<tt>{ i8 , [10 x [20 x i32]],
i8 }</tt>' type, another structure. The third index indexes into the second
element of the structure, yielding a '<tt>[10 x [20 x i32]]</tt>' type, an
array. The two dimensions of the array are subscripted into, yielding an
'<tt>i32</tt>' type. The '<tt>getelementptr</tt>' instruction returns a
pointer to this element, thus computing a value of '<tt>i32*</tt>' type.</p>
<p>Note that it is perfectly legal to index partially through a structure,
returning a pointer to an inner element. Because of this, the LLVM code for
the given testcase is equivalent to:</p>
<pre>
define i32* @foo(%ST* %s) {
%t1 = getelementptr %ST* %s, i32 1 <i>; yields %ST*:%t1</i>
%t2 = getelementptr %ST* %t1, i32 0, i32 2 <i>; yields %RT*:%t2</i>
%t3 = getelementptr %RT* %t2, i32 0, i32 1 <i>; yields [10 x [20 x i32]]*:%t3</i>
%t4 = getelementptr [10 x [20 x i32]]* %t3, i32 0, i32 5 <i>; yields [20 x i32]*:%t4</i>
%t5 = getelementptr [20 x i32]* %t4, i32 0, i32 13 <i>; yields i32*:%t5</i>
ret i32* %t5
}
</pre>
<p>If the <tt>inbounds</tt> keyword is present, the result value of the
<tt>getelementptr</tt> is a <a href="#trapvalues">trap value</a> if the
base pointer is not an <i>in bounds</i> address of an allocated object,
or if any of the addresses that would be formed by successive addition of
the offsets implied by the indices to the base address with infinitely
precise signed arithmetic are not an <i>in bounds</i> address of that
allocated object. The <i>in bounds</i> addresses for an allocated object
are all the addresses that point into the object, plus the address one
byte past the end.</p>
<p>If the <tt>inbounds</tt> keyword is not present, the offsets are added to
the base address with silently-wrapping two's complement arithmetic. If the
offsets have a different width from the pointer, they are sign-extended or
truncated to the width of the pointer. The result value of the
<tt>getelementptr</tt> may be outside the object pointed to by the base
pointer. The result value may not necessarily be used to access memory
though, even if it happens to point into allocated storage. See the
<a href="#pointeraliasing">Pointer Aliasing Rules</a> section for more
information.</p>
<p>The getelementptr instruction is often confusing. For some more insight into
how it works, see <a href="GetElementPtr.html">the getelementptr FAQ</a>.</p>
<h5>Example:</h5>
<pre>
<i>; yields [12 x i8]*:aptr</i>
%aptr = getelementptr {i32, [12 x i8]}* %saptr, i64 0, i32 1
<i>; yields i8*:vptr</i>
%vptr = getelementptr {i32, <2 x i8>}* %svptr, i64 0, i32 1, i32 1
<i>; yields i8*:eptr</i>
%eptr = getelementptr [12 x i8]* %aptr, i64 0, i32 1
<i>; yields i32*:iptr</i>
%iptr = getelementptr [10 x i32]* @arr, i16 0, i16 0

<h5>Syntax:</h5>
<pre>
<result> = trunc <ty> <value> to <ty2> <i>; yields ty2</i>
</pre>
<h5>Overview:</h5>
<p>The '<tt>trunc</tt>' instruction truncates its operand to the
type <tt>ty2</tt>.</p>
<h5>Arguments:</h5>
<p>The '<tt>trunc</tt>' instruction takes a value to trunc, and a type to trunc it to.
Both types must be of <a href="#t_integer">integer</a> types, or vectors
of the same number of integers.
The bit size of the <tt>value</tt> must be larger than
the bit size of the destination type, <tt>ty2</tt>.
Equal sized types are not allowed.</p>
<h5>Semantics:</h5>
<p>The '<tt>trunc</tt>' instruction truncates the high order bits
in <tt>value</tt> and converts the remaining bits to <tt>ty2</tt>. Since the
source size must be larger than the destination size, <tt>trunc</tt> cannot
be a <i>no-op cast</i>. It will always truncate bits.</p>
<h5>Example:</h5>
<pre>
%X = trunc i32 257 to i8 <i>; yields i8:1</i>
%Y = trunc i32 123 to i1 <i>; yields i1:true</i>
%Z = trunc i32 122 to i1 <i>; yields i1:false</i>

</pre>
<h5>Overview:</h5>
<p>The '<tt>zext</tt>' instruction zero extends its operand to type
<tt>ty2</tt>.</p>
<h5>Arguments:</h5>
<p>The '<tt>zext</tt>' instruction takes a value to cast, and a type to cast it to.
Both types must be of <a href="#t_integer">integer</a> types, or vectors
of the same number of integers.
The bit size of the <tt>value</tt> must be smaller than
the bit size of the destination type,
<tt>ty2</tt>.</p>
<h5>Semantics:</h5>
<p>The <tt>zext</tt> fills the high order bits of the <tt>value</tt> with zero
bits until it reaches the size of the destination type, <tt>ty2</tt>.</p>
<p>When zero extending from i1, the result will always be either 0 or 1.</p>
<h5>Example:</h5>
<pre>
%X = zext i32 257 to i64 <i>; yields i64:257</i>
%Y = zext i1 true to i32 <i>; yields i32:1</i>

of the same number of integers.
The bit size of the <tt>value</tt> must be smaller than
the bit size of the destination type,
<tt>ty2</tt>.</p>
<h5>Semantics:</h5>
<p>The '<tt>sext</tt>' instruction performs a sign extension by copying the sign
bit (highest order bit) of the <tt>value</tt> until it reaches the bit size
of the type <tt>ty2</tt>.</p>
<p>When sign extending from i1, the extension always results in -1 or 0.</p>
<h5>Example:</h5>
<pre>
%X = sext i8 -1 to i16 <i>; yields i16 :65535</i>
%Y = sext i1 true to i32 <i>; yields i32:-1</i>

<h5>Semantics:</h5>
<p>The '<tt>fptrunc</tt>' instruction truncates a <tt>value</tt> from a larger
<a href="#t_floating">floating point</a> type to a smaller
<a href="#t_floating">floating point</a> type. If the value cannot fit
within the destination type, <tt>ty2</tt>, then the results are

<h5>Overview:</h5>
<p>The '<tt>bitcast</tt>' instruction converts <tt>value</tt> to type
<tt>ty2</tt> without changing any bits.</p>
<h5>Arguments:</h5>
<p>The '<tt>bitcast</tt>' instruction takes a value to cast, which must be a

<h5>Semantics:</h5>
<p>The '<tt>bitcast</tt>' instruction converts <tt>value</tt> to type
<tt>ty2</tt>. It is always a <i>no-op cast</i> because no bits change with

<result> = icmp <cond> <ty> <op1>, <op2> <i>; yields {i1} or {<N x i1>}:result</i>
</pre>
<h5>Overview:</h5>
<p>The '<tt>icmp</tt>' instruction returns a boolean value or a vector of
boolean values based on comparison of its two integer, integer vector, or
pointer operands.</p>
<h5>Arguments:</h5>
<p>The '<tt>icmp</tt>' instruction takes three operands. The first operand is
the condition code indicating the kind of comparison to perform. It is not a
value, just a keyword. The possible condition code are:</p>
<ol>
<li><tt>eq</tt>: equal</li>

<li><tt>sgt</tt>: signed greater than</li>
<li><tt>sge</tt>: signed greater or equal</li>
<li><tt>slt</tt>: signed less than</li>
<li><tt>sle</tt>: signed less or equal</li>

<h5>Semantics:</h5>
<p>The '<tt>icmp</tt>' compares <tt>op1</tt> and <tt>op2</tt> according to the
condition code given as <tt>cond</tt>. The comparison performed always yields
either an <a href="#t_integer"><tt>i1</tt></a> or vector of <tt>i1</tt>
result, as follows:</p>
<ol>
<li><tt>eq</tt>: yields <tt>true</tt> if the operands are equal,
<tt>false</tt> otherwise. No sign interpretation is necessary or

<h4>
<a name="i_fcmp">'<tt>fcmp</tt>' Instruction</a>
</h4>
<div>
<h5>Syntax:</h5>
<pre>
<result> = fcmp <cond> <ty> <op1>, <op2> <i>; yields {i1} or {<N x i1>}:result</i>
</pre>
<h5>Overview:</h5>
<p>The '<tt>fcmp</tt>' instruction returns a boolean value or vector of boolean
values based on comparison of its operands.</p>
<p>If the operands are floating point scalars, then the result type is a boolean
(<a href="#t_integer"><tt>i1</tt></a>).</p>
<p>If the operands are floating point vectors, then the result type is a vector
of boolean with the same number of elements as the operands being
compared.</p>
<h5>Arguments:</h5>
<p>The '<tt>fcmp</tt>' instruction takes three operands. The first operand is
the condition code indicating the kind of comparison to perform. It is not a
value, just a keyword. The possible condition code are:</p>
<ol>
<li><tt>false</tt>: no comparison, always returns false</li>
<li><tt>oeq</tt>: ordered and equal</li>
<li><tt>ogt</tt>: ordered and greater than </li>
<li><tt>oge</tt>: ordered and greater than or equal</li>
<li><tt>olt</tt>: ordered and less than </li>
<li><tt>ole</tt>: ordered and less than or equal</li>
<li><tt>one</tt>: ordered and not equal</li>
<li><tt>ord</tt>: ordered (no nans)</li>
<li><tt>ueq</tt>: unordered or equal</li>
<li><tt>ugt</tt>: unordered or greater than </li>
<li><tt>uge</tt>: unordered or greater than or equal</li>
<li><tt>ult</tt>: unordered or less than </li>
<li><tt>ule</tt>: unordered or less than or equal</li>
<li><tt>une</tt>: unordered or not equal</li>
<li><tt>uno</tt>: unordered (either nans)</li>
<li><tt>true</tt>: no comparison, always returns true</li>
</ol>
<p><i>Ordered</i> means that neither operand is a QNAN while
<i>unordered</i> means that either operand may be a QNAN.</p>
<p>Each of <tt>val1</tt> and <tt>val2</tt> arguments must be either
a <a href="#t_floating">floating point</a> type or
a <a href="#t_vector">vector</a> of floating point type. They must have
identical types.</p>
<h5>Semantics:</h5>
<p>The '<tt>fcmp</tt>' instruction compares <tt>op1</tt> and <tt>op2</tt>
according to the condition code given as <tt>cond</tt>. If the operands are
vectors, then the vectors are compared element by element. Each comparison
performed always yields an <a href="#t_integer">i1</a> result, as
follows:</p>
<ol>
<li><tt>false</tt>: always yields <tt>false</tt>, regardless of operands.</li>
<li><tt>oeq</tt>: yields <tt>true</tt> if both operands are not a QNAN and
<tt>op1</tt> is equal to <tt>op2</tt>.</li>
<li><tt>ogt</tt>: yields <tt>true</tt> if both operands are not a QNAN and
<tt>op1</tt> is greater than <tt>op2</tt>.</li>
<li><tt>oge</tt>: yields <tt>true</tt> if both operands are not a QNAN and
<tt>op1</tt> is greater than or equal to <tt>op2</tt>.</li>
<li><tt>olt</tt>: yields <tt>true</tt> if both operands are not a QNAN and
<tt>op1</tt> is less than <tt>op2</tt>.</li>
<li><tt>ole</tt>: yields <tt>true</tt> if both operands are not a QNAN and
<tt>op1</tt> is less than or equal to <tt>op2</tt>.</li>
<li><tt>one</tt>: yields <tt>true</tt> if both operands are not a QNAN and
<tt>op1</tt> is not equal to <tt>op2</tt>.</li>
<li><tt>ord</tt>: yields <tt>true</tt> if both operands are not a QNAN.</li>
<li><tt>ueq</tt>: yields <tt>true</tt> if either operand is a QNAN or
<tt>op1</tt> is equal to <tt>op2</tt>.</li>
<li><tt>ugt</tt>: yields <tt>true</tt> if either operand is a QNAN or
<tt>op1</tt> is greater than <tt>op2</tt>.</li>
<li><tt>uge</tt>: yields <tt>true</tt> if either operand is a QNAN or
<tt>op1</tt> is greater than or equal to <tt>op2</tt>.</li>
<li><tt>ult</tt>: yields <tt>true</tt> if either operand is a QNAN or
<tt>op1</tt> is less than <tt>op2</tt>.</li>
<li><tt>ule</tt>: yields <tt>true</tt> if either operand is a QNAN or
<tt>op1</tt> is less than or equal to <tt>op2</tt>.</li>
<li><tt>une</tt>: yields <tt>true</tt> if either operand is a QNAN or
<tt>op1</tt> is not equal to <tt>op2</tt>.</li>
<li><tt>uno</tt>: yields <tt>true</tt> if either operand is a QNAN.</li>
<li><tt>true</tt>: always yields <tt>true</tt>, regardless of operands.</li>
</ol>
<h5>Example:</h5>
<pre>
<result> = fcmp oeq float 4.0, 5.0 <i>; yields: result=false</i>
<result> = fcmp one float 4.0, 5.0 <i>; yields: result=true</i>

</h4>
<div>
<h5>Syntax:</h5>
<pre>
<result> = phi <ty> [ <val0>, <label0>], ...
</pre>
<h5>Overview:</h5>
<p>The '<tt>phi</tt>' instruction is used to implement the φ node in the
SSA graph representing the function.</p>
<h5>Arguments:</h5>
<p>The type of the incoming values is specified with the first type field. After
this, the '<tt>phi</tt>' instruction takes a list of pairs as arguments, with
one pair for each predecessor basic block of the current block. Only values
of <a href="#t_firstclass">first class</a> type may be used as the value
arguments to the PHI node. Only labels may be used as the label
arguments.</p>
<p>There must be no non-phi instructions between the start of a basic block and
the PHI instructions: i.e. PHI instructions must be first in a basic
block.</p>
<p>For the purposes of the SSA form, the use of each incoming value is deemed to
occur on the edge from the corresponding predecessor block to the current
block (but after any definition of an '<tt>invoke</tt>' instruction's return
value on the same edge).</p>
<h5>Semantics:</h5>
<p>At runtime, the '<tt>phi</tt>' instruction logically takes on the value
specified by the pair corresponding to the predecessor basic block that
executed just prior to the current block.</p>
<h5>Example:</h5>
<pre>
Loop: ; Infinite loop that counts from 0 on up...
%indvar = phi i32 [ 0, %LoopHeader ], [ %nextindvar, %Loop ]
%nextindvar = add i32 %indvar, 1

</h4>
<div>
<h5>Syntax:</h5>
<pre>
<result> = select <i>selty</i> <cond>, <ty> <val1>, <ty> <val2> <i>; yields ty</i>
<i>selty</i> is either i1 or {<N x i1>}
</pre>
<h5>Overview:</h5>
<p>The '<tt>select</tt>' instruction is used to choose one value based on a
condition, without branching.</p>
<h5>Arguments:</h5>
<p>The '<tt>select</tt>' instruction requires an 'i1' value or a vector of 'i1'
values indicating the condition, and two values of the
same <a href="#t_firstclass">first class</a> type. If the val1/val2 are
vectors and the condition is a scalar, then entire vectors are selected, not
individual elements.</p>
<h5>Semantics:</h5>
<p>If the condition is an i1 and it evaluates to 1, the instruction returns the
first value argument; otherwise, it returns the second value argument.</p>
<p>If the condition is a vector of i1, then the value arguments must be vectors
of the same size, and the selection is done element by element.</p>
<h5>Example:</h5>
<pre>
%X = select i1 true, i8 17, i8 42 <i>; yields i8:17</i>

<h4>

</pre>
<h5>Overview:</h5>
<p>The '<tt>call</tt>' instruction represents a simple function call.</p>
<h5>Arguments:</h5>
<p>This instruction requires several arguments:</p>
<ol>
<li>The optional "tail" marker indicates that the callee function does not
access any allocas or varargs in the caller. Note that calls may be
marked "tail" even if they do not occur before
a <a href="#i_ret"><tt>ret</tt></a> instruction. If the "tail" marker is
present, the function call is eligible for tail call optimization,
but <a href="CodeGenerator.html#tailcallopt">might not in fact be
optimized into a jump</a>. The code generator may optimize calls marked
"tail" with either 1) automatic <a href="CodeGenerator.html#sibcallopt">
sibling call optimization</a> when the caller and callee have
matching signatures, or 2) forced tail call optimization when the
following extra requirements are met:
<ul>
<li>Caller and callee both have the calling
convention <tt>fastcc</tt>.</li>
<li>The call is in tail position (ret immediately follows call and ret
uses value of call or is void).</li>
<li>Option <tt>-tailcallopt</tt> is enabled,
or <code>llvm::GuaranteedTailCallOpt</code> is <code>true</code>.</li>
<li><a href="CodeGenerator.html#tailcallopt">Platform specific
constraints are met.</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>The optional "cconv" marker indicates which <a href="#callingconv">calling
convention</a> the call should use. If none is specified, the call
defaults to using C calling conventions. The calling convention of the
call must match the calling convention of the target function, or else the
behavior is undefined.</li>
<li>The optional <a href="#paramattrs">Parameter Attributes</a> list for
return values. Only '<tt>zeroext</tt>', '<tt>signext</tt>', and
'<tt>inreg</tt>' attributes are valid here.</li>
<li>'<tt>ty</tt>': the type of the call instruction itself which is also the
type of the return value. Functions that return no value are marked
<tt><a href="#t_void">void</a></tt>.</li>
<li>'<tt>fnty</tt>': shall be the signature of the pointer to function value
being invoked. The argument types must match the types implied by this
signature. This type can be omitted if the function is not varargs and if
the function type does not return a pointer to a function.</li>
<li>'<tt>fnptrval</tt>': An LLVM value containing a pointer to a function to
be invoked. In most cases, this is a direct function invocation, but
indirect <tt>call</tt>s are just as possible, calling an arbitrary pointer
to function value.</li>
<li>'<tt>function args</tt>': argument list whose types match the function
signature argument types and parameter attributes. All arguments must be
of <a href="#t_firstclass">first class</a> type. If the function
signature indicates the function accepts a variable number of arguments,
the extra arguments can be specified.</li>
<li>The optional <a href="#fnattrs">function attributes</a> list. Only
'<tt>noreturn</tt>', '<tt>nounwind</tt>', '<tt>readonly</tt>' and
'<tt>readnone</tt>' attributes are valid here.</li>
</ol>
<h5>Semantics:</h5>
<p>The '<tt>call</tt>' instruction is used to cause control flow to transfer to
a specified function, with its incoming arguments bound to the specified
values. Upon a '<tt><a href="#i_ret">ret</a></tt>' instruction in the called
function, control flow continues with the instruction after the function
call, and the return value of the function is bound to the result
argument.</p>
<h5>Example:</h5>
<pre>
%retval = call i32 @test(i32 %argc)
call i32 (i8*, ...)* @printf(i8* %msg, i32 12, i8 42) <i>; yields i32</i>
%X = tail call i32 @foo() <i>; yields i32</i>
%Y = tail call <a href="#callingconv">fastcc</a> i32 @foo() <i>; yields i32</i>
call void %foo(i8 97 signext)
%struct.A = type { i32, i8 }
%r = call %struct.A @foo() <i>; yields { 32, i8 }</i>
%gr = extractvalue %struct.A %r, 0 <i>; yields i32</i>
%gr1 = extractvalue %struct.A %r, 1 <i>; yields i8</i>
%Z = call void @foo() noreturn <i>; indicates that %foo never returns normally</i>
%ZZ = call zeroext i32 @bar() <i>; Return value is %zero extended</i>
</pre>
<p>llvm treats calls to some functions with names and arguments that match the
standard C99 library as being the C99 library functions, and may perform
optimizations or generate code for them under that assumption. This is
something we'd like to change in the future to provide better support for
freestanding environments and non-C-based languages.</p>

<h4>
<a name="i_va_arg">'<tt>va_arg</tt>' Instruction</a>
</h4>
<div>
<h5>Syntax:</h5>
<pre>
<resultval> = va_arg <va_list*> <arglist>, <argty>
</pre>
<h5>Overview:</h5>
<p>The '<tt>va_arg</tt>' instruction is used to access arguments passed through
the "variable argument" area of a function call. It is used to implement the
<tt>va_arg</tt> macro in C.</p>
<h5>Arguments:</h5>
<p>This instruction takes a <tt>va_list*</tt> value and the type of the
argument. It returns a value of the specified argument type and increments
the <tt>va_list</tt> to point to the next argument. The actual type
of <tt>va_list</tt> is target specific.</p>
<h5>Semantics:</h5>
<p>The '<tt>va_arg</tt>' instruction loads an argument of the specified type
from the specified <tt>va_list</tt> and causes the <tt>va_list</tt> to point
to the next argument. For more information, see the variable argument
handling <a href="#int_varargs">Intrinsic Functions</a>.</p>
<p>It is legal for this instruction to be called in a function which does not
take a variable number of arguments, for example, the <tt>vfprintf</tt>
function.</p>
<p><tt>va_arg</tt> is an LLVM instruction instead of
an <a href="#intrinsics">intrinsic function</a> because it takes a type as an
argument.</p>
<h5>Example:</h5>
<p>See the <a href="#int_varargs">variable argument processing</a> section.</p>
<p>Note that the code generator does not yet fully support va_arg on many
targets. Also, it does not currently support va_arg with aggregate types on
any target.</p>

<h4>
<a name="i_landingpad">'<tt>landingpad</tt>' Instruction</a>

<resultval> = landingpad <somety> personality <type> <pers_fn> cleanup <clause>*
<clause> := catch <type> <value>
<clause> := filter <array constant type> <array constant>
</pre>
<h5>Overview:</h5>
<p>The '<tt>landingpad</tt>' instruction is used by
<a href="ExceptionHandling.html#overview">LLVM's exception handling
system</a> to specify that a basic block is a landing pad — one where
the exception lands, and corresponds to the code found in the
<i><tt>catch</tt></i> portion of a <i><tt>try/catch</tt></i> sequence. It
defines values supplied by the personality function (<tt>pers_fn</tt>) upon
re-entry to the function. The <tt>resultval</tt> has the
type <tt>somety</tt>.</p>
<h5>Arguments:</h5>
<p>This instruction takes a <tt>pers_fn</tt> value. This is the personality
function associated with the unwinding mechanism. The optional
<tt>cleanup</tt> flag indicates that the landing pad block is a cleanup.</p>
<p>A <tt>clause</tt> begins with the clause type — <tt>catch</tt>
or <tt>filter</tt> — and contains the global variable representing the
"type" that may be caught or filtered respectively. Unlike the
<tt>catch</tt> clause, the <tt>filter</tt> clause takes an array constant as
its argument. Use "<tt>[0 x i8**] undef</tt>" for a filter which cannot
throw. The '<tt>landingpad</tt>' instruction must contain <em>at least</em>
one <tt>clause</tt> or the <tt>cleanup</tt> flag.</p>
<h5>Semantics:</h5>
<p>The '<tt>landingpad</tt>' instruction defines the values which are set by the
personality function (<tt>pers_fn</tt>) upon re-entry to the function, and
therefore the "result type" of the <tt>landingpad</tt> instruction. As with
calling conventions, how the personality function results are represented in
LLVM IR is target specific.</p>
<p>The clauses are applied in order from top to bottom. If two
<tt>landingpad</tt> instructions are merged together through inlining, the
clauses from the calling function are appended to the list of clauses.</p>
<p>The <tt>landingpad</tt> instruction has several restrictions:</p>
<ul>
<li>A landing pad block is a basic block which is the unwind destination of an
'<tt>invoke</tt>' instruction.</li>
<li>A landing pad block must have a '<tt>landingpad</tt>' instruction as its
first non-PHI instruction.</li>
<li>There can be only one '<tt>landingpad</tt>' instruction within the landing
pad block.</li>
<li>A basic block that is not a landing pad block may not include a
'<tt>landingpad</tt>' instruction.</li>
<li>All '<tt>landingpad</tt>' instructions in a function must have the same
personality function.</li>
</ul>
<h5>Example:</h5>
<pre>
;; A landing pad which can catch an integer.
%res = landingpad { i8*, i32 } personality i32 (...)* @__gxx_personality_v0
catch i8** @_ZTIi
;; A landing pad that is a cleanup.
%res = landingpad { i8*, i32 } personality i32 (...)* @__gxx_personality_v0
cleanup
;; A landing pad which can catch an integer and can only throw a double.
%res = landingpad { i8*, i32 } personality i32 (...)* @__gxx_personality_v0

<h2><a name="intrinsics">Intrinsic Functions</a></h2>
<!-- *********************************************************************** -->
<div>
<p>LLVM supports the notion of an "intrinsic function". These functions have
well known names and semantics and are required to follow certain
restrictions. Overall, these intrinsics represent an extension mechanism for
the LLVM language that does not require changing all of the transformations
in LLVM when adding to the language (or the bitcode reader/writer, the
parser, etc...).</p>
<p>Intrinsic function names must all start with an "<tt>llvm.</tt>" prefix. This
prefix is reserved in LLVM for intrinsic names; thus, function names may not
begin with this prefix. Intrinsic functions must always be external
functions: you cannot define the body of intrinsic functions. Intrinsic
functions may only be used in call or invoke instructions: it is illegal to
take the address of an intrinsic function. Additionally, because intrinsic
functions are part of the LLVM language, it is required if any are added that
they be documented here.</p>
<p>Some intrinsic functions can be overloaded, i.e., the intrinsic represents a
family of functions that perform the same operation but on different data
types. Because LLVM can represent over 8 million different integer types,
overloading is used commonly to allow an intrinsic function to operate on any
integer type. One or more of the argument types or the result type can be
overloaded to accept any integer type. Argument types may also be defined as
exactly matching a previous argument's type or the result type. This allows
an intrinsic function which accepts multiple arguments, but needs all of them
to be of the same type, to only be overloaded with respect to a single
argument or the result.</p>
<p>Overloaded intrinsics will have the names of its overloaded argument types
encoded into its function name, each preceded by a period. Only those types
which are overloaded result in a name suffix. Arguments whose type is matched
against another type do not. For example, the <tt>llvm.ctpop</tt> function
can take an integer of any width and returns an integer of exactly the same
integer width. This leads to a family of functions such as
<tt>i8 @llvm.ctpop.i8(i8 %val)</tt> and <tt>i29 @llvm.ctpop.i29(i29
%val)</tt>. Only one type, the return type, is overloaded, and only one type
suffix is required. Because the argument's type is matched against the return
type, it does not require its own name suffix.</p>

<a href="ExtendingLLVM.html">Extending LLVM Guide</a>.</p>

<p>Variable argument support is defined in LLVM with

<p>All of these functions operate on arguments that use a target-specific value
type "<tt>va_list</tt>". The LLVM assembly language reference manual does
not define what this type is, so all transformations should be prepared to
handle these functions regardless of the type used.</p>

<h5>Overview:</h5>
<p>The '<tt>llvm.gcroot</tt>' intrinsic declares the existence of a GC root to
the code generator, and allows some metadata to be associated with it.</p>
<h5>Arguments:</h5>
<p>The first argument specifies the address of a stack object that contains the

<h5>Semantics:</h5>
<p>At runtime, a call to this intrinsic stores a null pointer into the "ptrloc"

<h5>Overview:</h5>
<p>The '<tt>llvm.prefetch</tt>' intrinsic is a hint to the code generator to
insert a prefetch instruction if supported; otherwise, it is a noop.
Prefetches have no effect on the behavior of the program but can change its
performance characteristics.</p>
<h5>Arguments:</h5>
<p><tt>address</tt> is the address to be prefetched, <tt>rw</tt> is the
specifier determining if the fetch should be for a read (0) or write (1),
and <tt>locality</tt> is a temporal locality specifier ranging from (0) - no
locality, to (3) - extremely local keep in cache. The <tt>cache type</tt>
specifies whether the prefetch is performed on the data (1) or instruction (0)
cache. The <tt>rw</tt>, <tt>locality</tt> and <tt>cache type</tt> arguments
must be constant integers.</p>
<h5>Semantics:</h5>
<p>This intrinsic does not modify the behavior of the program. In particular,
prefetches cannot trap and do not produce a value. On targets that support
this intrinsic, the prefetch can provide hints to the processor cache for
better performance.</p>

<h5>Overview:</h5>
<p>The '<tt>llvm.pcmarker</tt>' intrinsic is a method to export a Program
Counter (PC) in a region of code to simulators and other tools. The method
is target specific, but it is expected that the marker will use exported
symbols to transmit the PC of the marker. The marker makes no guarantees
that it will remain with any specific instruction after optimizations. It is
possible that the presence of a marker will inhibit optimizations. The
intended use is to be inserted after optimizations to allow correlations of
simulation runs.</p>

<h5>Overview:</h5>
<p>The '<tt>llvm.readcyclecounter</tt>' intrinsic provides access to the cycle
counter register (or similar low latency, high accuracy clocks) on those
targets that support it. On X86, it should map to RDTSC. On Alpha, it
should map to RPCC. As the backing counters overflow quickly (on the order
of 9 seconds on alpha), this should only be used for small timings.</p>
<h5>Semantics:</h5>
<p>When directly supported, reading the cycle counter should not modify any
memory. Implementations are allowed to either return a application specific
value or a system wide value. On backends without support, this is lowered
to a constant 0.</p>

<h5>Overview:</h5>
<p>The '<tt>llvm.bswap</tt>' family of intrinsics is used to byte swap integer

are useful for performing operations on data that is not in the target's
native byte order.</p>
<h5>Semantics:</h5>
<p>The <tt>llvm.bswap.i16</tt> intrinsic returns an i16 value that has the high
and low byte of the input i16 swapped. Similarly,
the <tt>llvm.bswap.i32</tt> intrinsic returns an i32 value that has the four
bytes of the input i32 swapped, so that if the input bytes are numbered 0, 1,
2, 3 then the returned i32 will have its bytes in 3, 2, 1, 0 order.
The <tt>llvm.bswap.i48</tt>, <tt>llvm.bswap.i64</tt> and other intrinsics

<div>
<p>These intrinsics make it possible to excise one parameter, marked with

The result is a callable
function pointer lacking the nest parameter - the caller does not need to
provide a value for it. Instead, the value to use is stored in advance in a
"trampoline", a block of memory usually allocated on the stack, which also
contains code to splice the nest value into the argument list. This is used
to implement the GCC nested function address extension.</p>
<p>For example, if the function is
<tt>i32 f(i8* nest %c, i32 %x, i32 %y)</tt> then the resulting function
pointer has signature <tt>i32 (i32, i32)*</tt>. It can be created as
follows:</p>
<pre class="doc_code">
%tramp = alloca [10 x i8], align 4 ; size and alignment only correct for X86

<h5>Overview:</h5>
<p>This fills the memory pointed to by <tt>tramp</tt> with executable code,
turning it into a trampoline.</p>
<h5>Arguments:</h5>
<p>The <tt>llvm.init.trampoline</tt> intrinsic takes three arguments, all
pointers. The <tt>tramp</tt> argument must point to a sufficiently large and
sufficiently aligned block of memory; this memory is written to by the
intrinsic. Note that the size and the alignment are target-specific - LLVM
currently provides no portable way of determining them, so a front-end that
generates this intrinsic needs to have some target-specific knowledge.
The <tt>func</tt> argument must hold a function bitcast to
an <tt>i8*</tt>.</p>
<h5>Semantics:</h5>
<p>The block of memory pointed to by <tt>tramp</tt> is filled with target
dependent code, turning it into a function. Then <tt>tramp</tt> needs to be
passed to <a href="#int_at">llvm.adjust.trampoline</a> to get a pointer
which can be <a href="#int_trampoline">bitcast (to a new function) and
called</a>. The new function's signature is the same as that of
<tt>func</tt> with any arguments marked with the <tt>nest</tt> attribute
removed. At most one such <tt>nest</tt> argument is allowed, and it must be of
pointer type. Calling the new function is equivalent to calling <tt>func</tt>
with the same argument list, but with <tt>nval</tt> used for the missing
<tt>nest</tt> argument. If, after calling <tt>llvm.init.trampoline</tt>, the
memory pointed to by <tt>tramp</tt> is modified, then the effect of any later call

</a>
</h4>
<div>
<h5>Syntax:</h5>
<pre>
declare i8* @llvm.adjust.trampoline(i8* <tramp>)
</pre>
<h5>Overview:</h5>
<p>This performs any required machine-specific adjustment to the address of a
trampoline (passed as <tt>tramp</tt>).</p>
<h5>Arguments:</h5>
<p><tt>tramp</tt> must point to a block of memory which already has trampoline code
filled in by a previous call to <a href="#int_it"><tt>llvm.init.trampoline</tt>
</a>.</p>
<h5>Semantics:</h5>
<p>On some architectures the address of the code to be executed needs to be
different to the address where the trampoline is actually stored. This
intrinsic returns the executable address corresponding to <tt>tramp</tt>
after performing the required machine specific adjustments.
The pointer returned can then be <a href="#int_trampoline"> bitcast and
executed</a>.

<div>
<p>This class of intrinsics exists to information about the lifetime of memory
objects and ranges where variables are immutable.</p>

<h4>
<a name="int_lifetime_start">'<tt>llvm.lifetime.start</tt>' Intrinsic</a>
</h4>
<div>
<h5>Syntax:</h5>
<pre>
declare void @llvm.lifetime.start(i64 <size>, i8* nocapture <ptr>)
</pre>
<h5>Overview:</h5>
<p>The '<tt>llvm.lifetime.start</tt>' intrinsic specifies the start of a memory
object's lifetime.</p>
<h5>Arguments:</h5>
<p>The first argument is a constant integer representing the size of the
object, or -1 if it is variable sized. The second argument is a pointer to
the object.</p>
<h5>Semantics:</h5>
<p>This intrinsic indicates that before this point in the code, the value of the
memory pointed to by <tt>ptr</tt> is dead. This means that it is known to
never be used and has an undefined value. A load from the pointer that
precedes this intrinsic can be replaced with
<tt>'<a href="#undefvalues">undef</a>'</tt>.</p>

<h4>
<a name="int_lifetime_end">'<tt>llvm.lifetime.end</tt>' Intrinsic</a>
</h4>
<div>
<h5>Syntax:</h5>
<pre>
declare void @llvm.lifetime.end(i64 <size>, i8* nocapture <ptr>)
</pre>
<h5>Overview:</h5>
<p>The '<tt>llvm.lifetime.end</tt>' intrinsic specifies the end of a memory
object's lifetime.</p>
<h5>Arguments:</h5>
<p>The first argument is a constant integer representing the size of the
object, or -1 if it is variable sized. The second argument is a pointer to
the object.</p>
<h5>Semantics:</h5>
<p>This intrinsic indicates that after this point in the code, the value of the
memory pointed to by <tt>ptr</tt> is dead. This means that it is known to
never be used and has an undefined value. Any stores into the memory object
following this intrinsic may be removed as dead.

<a name="int_invariant_start">'<tt>llvm.invariant.start</tt>' Intrinsic</a>
</h4>
<div>
<h5>Syntax:</h5>
<pre>
declare {}* @llvm.invariant.start(i64 <size>, i8* nocapture <ptr>)
</pre>
<h5>Overview:</h5>
<p>The '<tt>llvm.invariant.start</tt>' intrinsic specifies that the contents of
a memory object will not change.</p>
<h5>Arguments:</h5>
<p>The first argument is a constant integer representing the size of the
object, or -1 if it is variable sized. The second argument is a pointer to
the object.</p>
<h5>Semantics:</h5>
<p>This intrinsic indicates that until an <tt>llvm.invariant.end</tt> that uses
the return value, the referenced memory location is constant and
unchanging.</p>
</div>

<h4>
<a name="int_invariant_end">'<tt>llvm.invariant.end</tt>' Intrinsic</a>
</h4>
<div>
<h5>Syntax:</h5>
<pre>
declare void @llvm.invariant.end({}* <start>, i64 <size>, i8* nocapture <ptr>)
</pre>
<h5>Overview:</h5>
<p>The '<tt>llvm.invariant.end</tt>' intrinsic specifies that the contents of
a memory object are mutable.</p>
<h5>Arguments:</h5>
<p>The first argument is the matching <tt>llvm.invariant.start</tt> intrinsic.
The second argument is a constant integer representing the size of the
object, or -1 if it is variable sized and the third argument is a pointer
to the object.</p>
<h5>Semantics:</h5>
<p>This intrinsic indicates that the memory is mutable again.</p>

<h4>
<a name="int_var_annotation">'<tt>llvm.var.annotation</tt>' Intrinsic</a>
</h4>
<div>
<h5>Syntax:</h5>
<pre>
declare void @llvm.var.annotation(i8* <val>, i8* <str>, i8* <str>, i32 <int>)
</pre>
<h5>Overview:</h5>
<p>The '<tt>llvm.var.annotation</tt>' intrinsic.</p>
<h5>Arguments:</h5>
<p>The first argument is a pointer to a value, the second is a pointer to a
global string, the third is a pointer to a global string which is the source
file name, and the last argument is the line number.</p>
<h5>Semantics:</h5>
<p>This intrinsic allows annotation of local variables with arbitrary strings.
This can be useful for special purpose optimizations that want to look for
these annotations. These have no other defined use; they are ignored by code
generation and optimization.</p>
</div>
<!-- _______________________________________________________________________ -->
<h4>
<a name="int_annotation">'<tt>llvm.annotation.*</tt>' Intrinsic</a>
</h4>
<div>
<h5>Syntax:</h5>
<p>This is an overloaded intrinsic. You can use '<tt>llvm.annotation</tt>' on
any integer bit width.</p>
<pre>
declare i8 @llvm.annotation.i8(i8 <val>, i8* <str>, i8* <str>, i32 <int>)
declare i16 @llvm.annotation.i16(i16 <val>, i8* <str>, i8* <str>, i32 <int>)
declare i32 @llvm.annotation.i32(i32 <val>, i8* <str>, i8* <str>, i32 <int>)
declare i64 @llvm.annotation.i64(i64 <val>, i8* <str>, i8* <str>, i32 <int>)
declare i256 @llvm.annotation.i256(i256 <val>, i8* <str>, i8* <str>, i32 <int>)
</pre>
<h5>Overview:</h5>
<p>The '<tt>llvm.annotation</tt>' intrinsic.</p>
<h5>Arguments:</h5>
<p>The first argument is an integer value (result of some expression), the
second is a pointer to a global string, the third is a pointer to a global
string which is the source file name, and the last argument is the line
number. It returns the value of the first argument.</p>
<h5>Semantics:</h5>
<p>This intrinsic allows annotations to be put on arbitrary expressions with
arbitrary strings. This can be useful for special purpose optimizations that
want to look for these annotations. These have no other defined use; they
are ignored by code generation and optimization.</p>

<h4>
<a name="int_trap">'<tt>llvm.trap</tt>' Intrinsic</a>
</h4>
<div>
<h5>Syntax:</h5>
<pre>
declare void @llvm.trap()
</pre>
<h5>Overview:</h5>
<p>The '<tt>llvm.trap</tt>' intrinsic.</p>
<h5>Arguments:</h5>
<p>None.</p>
<h5>Semantics:</h5>
<p>This intrinsics is lowered to the target dependent trap instruction. If the
target does not have a trap instruction, this intrinsic will be lowered to
the call of the <tt>abort()</tt> function.</p>
</div>
<!-- _______________________________________________________________________ -->
<h4>
<a name="int_stackprotector">'<tt>llvm.stackprotector</tt>' Intrinsic</a>
</h4>
<div>
<h5>Syntax:</h5>
<pre>
declare void @llvm.stackprotector(i8* <guard>, i8** <slot>)
</pre>
<h5>Overview:</h5>
<p>The <tt>llvm.stackprotector</tt> intrinsic takes the <tt>guard</tt> and
stores it onto the stack at <tt>slot</tt>. The stack slot is adjusted to
ensure that it is placed on the stack before local variables.</p>
<h5>Arguments:</h5>
<p>The <tt>llvm.stackprotector</tt> intrinsic requires two pointer
arguments. The first argument is the value loaded from the stack
guard <tt>@__stack_chk_guard</tt>. The second variable is an <tt>alloca</tt>
that has enough space to hold the value of the guard.</p>
<h5>Semantics:</h5>
<p>This intrinsic causes the prologue/epilogue inserter to force the position of
the <tt>AllocaInst</tt> stack slot to be before local variables on the
stack. This is to ensure that if a local variable on the stack is
overwritten, it will destroy the value of the guard. When the function exits,
the guard on the stack is checked against the original guard. If they are
different, then the program aborts by calling the <tt>__stack_chk_fail()</tt>
function.</p>
</div>

<h4>
<a name="int_objectsize">'<tt>llvm.objectsize</tt>' Intrinsic</a>
</h4>
<div>
<h5>Syntax:</h5>
<pre>
declare i32 @llvm.objectsize.i32(i8* <object>, i1 <type>)
declare i64 @llvm.objectsize.i64(i8* <object>, i1 <type>)
</pre>
<h5>Overview:</h5>
<p>The <tt>llvm.objectsize</tt> intrinsic is designed to provide information to
the optimizers to determine at compile time whether a) an operation (like
memcpy) will overflow a buffer that corresponds to an object, or b) that a
runtime check for overflow isn't necessary. An object in this context means
an allocation of a specific class, structure, array, or other object.</p>
<h5>Arguments:</h5>
<p>The <tt>llvm.objectsize</tt> intrinsic takes two arguments. The first
argument is a pointer to or into the <tt>object</tt>. The second argument
is a boolean 0 or 1. This argument determines whether you want the
maximum (0) or minimum (1) bytes remaining. This needs to be a literal 0 or
1, variables are not allowed.</p>
<h5>Semantics:</h5>
<p>The <tt>llvm.objectsize</tt> intrinsic is lowered to either a constant
representing the size of the object concerned, or <tt>i32/i64 -1 or 0</tt>,
depending on the <tt>type</tt> argument, if the size cannot be determined at
compile time.</p>
