A group of us have been having weekly sync-up calls on RISC-V
backend development for a while. It's not so much about decision-making, just
general status update on WIP patches and discussing some wider ISA related
issues that are relevant to LLVM and where we'd like more feedback. I think
we've invited most active RISC-V backend contributors previously. If you've
been left off the list, then I apologise. To ensure anyone with an
interest knows of its existence and can drop in drop in, we thought it
made sense to advertise on llvm-dev.
Reminder: the purpose is to co-ordinate between active contributors. If you
have support questions etc then it's best to post to llvm-dev.
We have a call each Thursday at 4pm BST, via
<https://meet.google.com/ske-zcog-spp>. I appreciate if you haven't joined
previously that's no notice - but we look forward to talking next week
or beyond!
Today issues to discuss include:
* GCC torture suite support in the LLVM test suite
* Still stuck on reviews and waiting on feedback re whether we need to
support Makefile as well as CMake - see https://reviews.llvm.org/D66887
* Status of psABI sanity check
* Now in separate repo
<https://github.com/lowRISC/riscv-elf-psabi-sanity-checker>
* Use of register arithmetic
* See <https://reviews.llvm.org/D67423>. Luís is updating the approach and
will refresh the patch soon.
* Verifying MachineInstr immediates
* See <https://reviews.llvm.org/D67397>. This approach seems worthwhile to
protect against programming errors, and it might be worth discussing how
it could be applied to other backends (or indeed, if there's a better way
of achieving the same goal).
* Sanitizers patch
* Needs a reviewer from a sanitizer expert rather than a RISC-V expert
realy, but at first look seems sensible. Can anyone help out?
<https://reviews.llvm.org/D66870>
* Statistics tracking in the backend
* Sam posted a patch to track the number of compressed instructions.
<https://reviews.llvm.org/D67495>. We'd be interested in ideas others
might have on stats it might be useful to track in addition to this.
Best,
Alex
