[LLVMdev] [llvm-commits] [PATCH][RFC] NVPTX Backend

[Jim Grosbach]

Hi Justin,

Cool stuff, to be sure. Excited to see this.

As a pre-cursor to more involved technical feedback, I suggest going through and fixing up the coding style and formatting issues. Just glancing through, I see lots of things like function names starting with capital letters, compound statements with the opening brace on the line following an if/for/while/etc., single-statements after an 'if' enclosed in a compound statement, container.end() being evaluated every iterations of loops, etc, etc..

This back-end is based on the sources used by NVIDIA, and currently provides significantly more functionality than the current PTX back-end.  Some functionality is currently disabled due to dependencies on LLVM core changes that we are also in the process of up-streaming, but the back-end is very usable in its current state and would benefit all current and future users of the LLVM PTX back-end.
