[llvm-commits] Patch to add support for SPIR to LLVM

[Villmow, Micah]

Yes, the spec is provisional in that it is reliant on feedback from the community. The feedback was that the naming that we had chosen wasn't sufficient and the new naming was preferred.

I'm not understanding, are you saying it's the spec that needs to catch up to the code?

Please see the patch here:
http://llvm.org/viewvc/llvm-project?rev=164948&view=rev

This is the submission to LLVM for SPIR, the spec should be updated accordingly.

Hi Micah,

I was merging the changes from this commit when I noticed something. The calling convention keyword defined in the lexer doesn't match the definition in the provisional spec [1] on section 3.6. For example, the calling convention 'spirkrnl' is defined as 'spir_kernel'. The host API only allows for loading SPIR binaries which are not affected by this issue. However, being able to load the ascii version is very helpful when debugging. Could you please review the attached patch and commit if ok?

Thanks,
Javier

I have attached the patch required to support SPIR in LLVM. This patch will allow all vendors who wish to support SPIR as a target the ability to share binaries with the same enums and calling conventions.

The discussion on calling conventions in SPIR is here:
