Add a "gc-transition" operand bundle
ClosedPublic

Authored by sanjoy on Jan 19 2016, 6:49 PM.

Details

Summary

This adds a new kind of operand bundle to LLVM denoted by the
"gc-transition" tag. Inputs to "gc-transition" operand bundle are
lowered into the "transition args" section of gc.statepoint by
RewriteStatepointsForGC.

This removes the last bit of functionality that was unsupported in the
deopt bundle based code path in RewriteStatepointsForGC.

The documentation for this operand bundle type is basically a TODO --
I'm hoping someone from the LLILC team can guide me towards what
should be put on the LangRef or add something in a subsequent commit.

LGTM aside from a few nits. Some suggested docs are above.

I'd suggest something like:

GC transition operand bundles are characterized by the
``"gc-transition"`` operand bundle tag. These operand
bundles mark a call as a transition between a function
with one GC strategy to a function with a different GC
strategy. If coordinating the transition between GC
strategies requires additional code generation at the
call site, these bundles may contain any values that
are needed by the generated code.

It may also be helpful to link to the "GC Transitions" section of the Statepoints doc.

Nit: this comment needs updating for GC transition bundles.

Nit: this if statement and its successor could be else if clauses.
