This makes roundup2/rounddown2 type- and const-preserving and allows using it on pointer types without casting to uintptr_t first. Not performing pointer-to-integer conversions also helps the compiler's optimization passes and can therefore result in better code generation. When using it with integer values there should be no change other than the compiler checking that the alignment value is a valid power-of-two. I originally implemented these builtins for CHERI a few years ago and they have been very useful for CheriBSD. However, they are also useful for non-CHERI code so I was able to upstream them for Clang 10.0. Rationale from the clang documentation: Clang provides builtins to support checking and adjusting alignment of pointers and integers. These builtins can be used to avoid relying on implementation-defined behavior of arithmetic on integers derived from pointers. Additionally, these builtins retain type information and, unlike bitwise arithmetic, they can perform semantic checking on the alignment value. There is also a feature request for GCC, so GCC may also support it in the future: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=98641 Reviewed By: brooks, jhb, imp Differential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D28332
README for GNU development tools This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation. If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README. If with a binutils release, see binutils/README; if with a libg++ release, see libg++/README, etc. That'll give you info about this package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc. It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of tools with one command. To build all of the tools contained herein, run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.: ./configure make To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc), then do: make install (If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''. You can use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor, and OS.) If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to also set CC when running make. For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh): CC=gcc ./configure make A similar example using csh: setenv CC gcc ./configure make Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. See the file COPYING or COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files. REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info on where and how to report problems.
