Thanks for comments @deadalnix, but please review D70079. I'm closing this one as being the duplicate of the mentioned PR.

Fix typo

Thanks for the update. Where is the original source for sub_U256_without_i128_or_recursive? The IR is strange. It seems to use two different strategies for merging carry flags.

Remove URLs

I ended up with optimizing my bigint library. The end result is - add_U256_without_i128_or_recursive which works better in current LLVM release and is also nicely reduced by D70079.
The analogous implementations of subtraction is added as sub_U256_without_i128_or_recursive test. This one should be interested to you @davezarzycki, your changes make it better, but it looks it is not perfect yet.

Update addcarry tests and add a subcarry test

Yes, please update subcarry.ll too.

A few comments / questions:

1. I'm not a regular contributor to LLVM, so please wait for somebody else (like @craig.topper, @RKSimon, or @spatel) to sign off on this.
2. Once one has "add carry", one immediately wants "sub carry/borrow". Please consider adding tests to subcarry.ll.

Add comments more descriptive test names

Oh sh*i, this is the same thing I'm doing in https://reviews.llvm.org/D70012.

Another round of changes.

Update unit tests.

Hi again,

I did a small update.

Update with some intermidiate changes.

Also, i don't think this should be hardcoded to some particular bitwidth.

Looks good, but adding an unit test for this case would be nice...

Will not that penalize stack usage on 64-bit targets as well?

Does this affects also bigger types like i256?

Fixed in https://reviews.llvm.org/rL286998.

Ping.

The algorithm is not correct. I fixed it in https://reviews.llvm.org/D26628.

This produces incorrect results for my set of tests of mul i256. Can you explain how you tested it? I guess there is no chance for adding runtime tests for that?

Add nounwind attribute to make tests smaller

Update tests

As you are doing something with YAML, can you take a look here?

I tried something similar in https://reviews.llvm.org/D8770

Sounds like a useful API. The term I've heard of in other programing languages is "take", I think take_front and take_back might be a little nicer.

take_front sounds ok, but take_back sounds awkward to me. I almost want to say "take what back?" If the convention was drop and rdrop, then take and rtake would sound good, but I'm not crazy about take_front and take_back. I could probably be convinced though if the majority prefers it.

Ping.

Please see the alternative https://reviews.llvm.org/D22619.

Ok, thanks. Any thoughts about the alternative "solution"?

Anyway, I think is it good point to at least separate the changes as you suggested.

Leave defines config as it was before.

Not requiring the defines is good; removing the defines in the build files is not. We still want to be able to build out of the box on systems with this known brokenness.

Is there a way to test this commit on buildbot before merging it?

This has been fixed in rL264352.

Thanks for adding that. Does it handle only 256-bit integers?

Added authors/reviewers of original patch adding home_directory() function in http://reviews.llvm.org/D2199

E.g. in llvm-lit testing environment.

Isn't the intention precisely to avoid tests creating files in the
home directory or being dependent on global config entries?

Cheers,

Can you give an overview of when the HOME environment variable is not defined?

Gentle ping. This patch includes a small unit test helpers refactoring that I would like to use in other patches.

Refactor unit test helpers. Check if pwh.h is available in every place that requires it.
