Detailed Description

MachineCodeEmitter - This class defines two sorts of methods: those for emitting the actual bytes of machine code, and those for emitting auxillary structures, such as jump tables, relocations, etc.

Emission of machine code is complicated by the fact that we don't (in general) know the size of the machine code that we're about to emit before we emit it. As such, we preallocate a certain amount of memory, and set the BufferBegin/BufferEnd pointers to the start and end of the buffer. As we emit machine instructions, we advance the CurBufferPtr to indicate the location of the next byte to emit. In the case of a buffer overflow (we need to emit more machine code than we have allocated space for), the CurBufferPtr will saturate to BufferEnd and ignore stores. Once the entire function has been emitted, the overflow condition is checked, and if it has occurred, more memory is allocated, and we reemit the code into it.

Member Function Documentation

virtual void llvm::MachineCodeEmitter::startFunction ( MachineFunction &  F  )  [pure virtual]

startFunction - This callback is invoked when the specified function is about to be code generated. This initializes the BufferBegin/End/Ptr fields.

Implemented in llvm::ELFCodeEmitter, and llvm::MachOCodeEmitter.

virtual bool llvm::MachineCodeEmitter::finishFunction ( MachineFunction &  F  )  [pure virtual]

finishFunction - This callback is invoked when the specified function has finished code generation. If a buffer overflow has occurred, this method returns true (the callee is required to try again), otherwise it returns false.

Implemented in llvm::ELFCodeEmitter, and llvm::MachOCodeEmitter.

virtual void llvm::MachineCodeEmitter::startGVStub ( const GlobalValue *  GV,
unsigned  StubSize,
unsigned  Alignment = 1 
) [pure virtual]

startGVStub - This callback is invoked when the JIT needs the address of a GV (e.g. function) that has not been code generated yet. The StubSize specifies the total size required by the stub.

Implemented in llvm::ELFCodeEmitter, and llvm::MachOCodeEmitter.

CurBufferPtr - Pointer to the next byte of memory to fill when emitting code. This is guranteed to be in the range [BufferBegin,BufferEnd]. If this pointer is at BufferEnd, it will never move due to code emission, and all code emission requests will be ignored (this is the buffer overflow condition).
