[RISCV] Define types for Zvlsseg.
AbandonedPublic

Details

Summary

The types in Zvlsseg occupy multiple vector registers. We use Record type in clang to represent Zvlsseg types. It will not increase the number of builtin types in clang. It just adds multiple implicit defined Record types for Zvlsseg.

Do we still need NF on these macros if tuples have their own macros?

81

What is the last macro argument? This names it "false"

clang/lib/Sema/Sema.cpp
403

This also calls the last argument "false"

Are we able to test this yet?

Why is this QualType and not CanQualType? I don't know what the difference is myself.

Is there any downside to adding all these members to the ASTContext? I suspect the builtin types have grown quite a bit since this was initially set up. @rjmccall or @rsmith is this something we need to be concerned about?

CanQualType could not be used for typedef types.

No, I removed it.

Probabl you should write a comment explaining why since very line above this uses CanQualType.

Add comments.

I was under the impression we didn't want to use class-member access syntax for vector tuples (see https://github.com/riscv/rvv-intrinsic-doc/issues/17#issuecomment-628998077 ) so we don't need a record type, do we?

Perhaps it is possible to model them like opaque entities similar to what we do with RVV vectors where they are expanded in CodegenTypes.cpp?

Access to fields would have to be through intrinsics, though I think this didn't scale very well, did it?

I'm confused by this lookup.

If you add RvvInt8mf8Ty in the macros above will you be able to use it for types such as RvvInt8mf8x2Ty, RvvInt8mf8x3Ty, etc. without having to search it in all the types?

AFAICT ElemId seems only used in this case so perhaps we can use the "name of the field of ASTContext" (a CanQualType) directly.

Do you mean treat the Zvlsseg types as kind of builtin types? I want to avoid to add too much builtin types in Clang. That is why I use implicit defined RecordType for Zvlsseg types.

Put element types in the macro and use them to create RecordType directly.
