Detailed Description

This is an important base class in LLVM.

It provides the common facilities of all constant values in an LLVM program. A constant is a value that is immutable at runtime. Functions are constants because their address is immutable. Same with global variables.

All constants share the capabilities provided in this class. All constants can have a null value. They can have an operand list. Constants can be simple (integer and floating point values), complex (arrays and structures), or expression based (computations yielding a constant value composed of only certain operators and other constant values).

Note that Constants are immutable (once created they never change) and are fully shared by structural equivalence. This means that two structurally equivalent constants will always have the same address. Constants are created on demand as needed and never deleted: thus clients don't have to worry about the lifetime of the objects. LLVM Constant Representation

References llvm::CallingConv::C, and containsUndefinedElement().

◆ containsUndefOrPoisonElement()

bool Constant::containsUndefOrPoisonElement ( ) const

Return true if this is a vector constant that includes any undef or poison elements.

Since it is impossible to inspect a scalable vector element- wise at compile time, this function returns true only if the entire vector is undef or poison.

◆ destroyConstant()

void Constant::destroyConstant ( )

Called if some element of this constant is no longer valid.

At this point only other constants may be on the use_list for this constant. Any constants on our Use list must also be destroy'd. The implementation must be sure to remove the constant from the list of available cached constants. Implementations should implement destroyConstantImpl to remove constants from any pools/maps they are contained it.

First call destroyConstantImpl on the subclass. This gives the subclass a chance to remove the constant from any maps/pools it's contained in.

◆ handleOperandChange()

void Constant::handleOperandChange	(	Value *	From,
		Value *	To
	)

This method is a special form of User::replaceUsesOfWith (which does not work on constants) that does work on constants.

Update this constant array to change uses of 'From' to be uses of 'To'.

Basically this method goes through the trouble of building a new constant that is equivalent to the current one, with all uses of From replaced with uses of To. After this construction is completed, all of the users of 'this' are replaced to use the new constant, and then 'this' is deleted. In general, you should not call this method, instead, use Value::replaceAllUsesWith, which automatically dispatches to this method as needed.

This must update the uniquing data structures etc.

Note that we intentionally replace all uses of From with To here. Consider a large array that uses 'From' 1000 times. By handling this case all here, ConstantArray::handleOperandChange is only invoked once, and that single invocation handles all 1000 uses. Handling them one at a time would work, but would be really slow because it would have to unique each updated array instance.

bool Constant::hasOneLiveUse ( ) const

Return true if the constant has exactly one live use.

This returns the same result as calling Value::hasOneUse after Constant::removeDeadConstantUsers, but doesn't remove dead constants.

Definition at line 766 of file Constants.cpp.

◆ hasZeroLiveUses()

bool Constant::hasZeroLiveUses ( ) const

Return true if the constant has no live uses.

This returns the same result as calling Value::use_empty after Constant::removeDeadConstantUsers, but doesn't remove dead constants.

◆ isAllOnesValue()

bool Constant::isAllOnesValue ( ) const

◆ isElementWiseEqual()

bool Constant::isElementWiseEqual ( Value * Y ) const

Return true if this constant and a constant 'Y' are element-wise equal.

This is identical to just comparing the pointers, with the exception that for vectors, if only one of the constants has an undef element in some lane, the constants still match.

◆ mergeUndefsWith()

Constant * Constant::mergeUndefsWith	(	Constant *	C,

static

Merges undefs of a Constant with another Constant, along with the undefs already present.

Other doesn't have to be the same type as C, but both must either be scalars or vectors with the same element count. If no changes are made, the constant C is returned.

◆ needsRelocation()

bool Constant::needsRelocation ( ) const

This method classifies the entry according to whether or not it may generate a relocation entry (either static or dynamic).

This must be conservative, so if it might codegen to a relocatable entry, it should say so.

FIXME: This really should not be in IR.

◆ removeDeadConstantUsers()

void Constant::removeDeadConstantUsers ( ) const

If there are any dead constant users dangling off of this constant, remove them.

This method is useful for clients that want to check to see if a global is unused, but don't want to deal with potentially dead constants hanging off of the globals.
