[ARM] Rewrite ARMAttributeParser
ClosedPublic

Authored by MaskRay on Feb 22 2020, 5:15 PM.

Details

Summary
  • Delete boilerplate
  • Change functions to return Error
  • Test parsing errors
  • Update callers of ARMAttributeParser::parse() to check the Error return value.

Since this patch touches nearly everything in the file, I apply
http://llvm.org/docs/Proposals/VariableNames.html and change variable
names to lower case.

The format of .ARM.attributes can be found at https://developer.arm.com/docs/ihi0044/h/elf-for-the-arm-architecture-abi-2019q1-documentation

In BFD, some other architectures define elf_backend_obj_attrs_vendor: bfd/elf32-msp430.c bfd/elf32-tic6x.c bfd/elf32-arc.c bfd/elfnn-riscv.c.

Fix two tests

This is a large change and converting to lower case is making really hard to discern what the functional changes are.

Pasted my reply in D74023.

For existing code, there is objection that clean-ups can clutter up the history. There is a supportive group of people putting forward a migration plan. For *AttributeParser, I think it is a middle ground: the rewrite (refactoring) will touch nearly every line (we will also face a large function move ARMAttributeParser.cpp -> ELFAttributeParser.cpp). I am in the camp of "I don't want to unnecessarily break the style of surrounding code, but if it is new code, I want to just use the ideal style." So I went forward and fixed the variable Naming in D75015.

+1. It does not feel right that mixing of code style and functional changes happens.

Seems it can be:

if (sw) {
  DictScope scope(*sw, scopeName);
  if (!indicies.empty())
    sw->printList(indexName, indicies);
} 

if (Error e = parseAttributeList(size))
  return e;

It can't.

DictScope changes the indentation level. parseAttributeList must be called with DictScope in the scope.

I think that the original error message was better here

llvm/include/llvm/Support/ARMAttributeParser.h
45

A newline before this would be nice to delimit the general handler vs the known attribute list.

48

Would be nice to group this with the other general handlers.

81

It might be nice to use a XMACRO here. But thats not critical/important.

87

static_cast<void> please.

llvm/lib/Support/ARMAttributeParser.cpp
108

Please put a trailing comma after the nodefaults handler and re-clang-format.

403

I think that the original code was clearer here. I think at the very least, we should have a comment explaining this offset.

418

Bleh, could you please check if we have a constant for this yet? IIRC, we didn't have one when I wrote this, but really this is the limit of the namespace and should really have a constant.

448

Again, I think that the original code was more readable here. Please use sizeof(length) or add a comment explaining the 4.

Moved - 5 to the caller.

418

Will do afterwards.

448

Moved - 4 to the caller. I think it will be more readable.
