The LoongArch psABI recently added __bf16 type support. Now we can enable this new type in clang. Currently, bf16 operations are automatically supported by promoting to float. This patch adds bf16 support by ensuring that load extension / truncate store operations are properly expanded. And this commit implements support for bf16 truncate/extend on hard FP targets. The extend operation is implemented by a shift just as in the standard legalization. This requires custom lowering of the truncate libcall on hard float ABIs (the normal libcall code path is used on soft ABIs).
The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure
Welcome to the LLVM project!
This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.
The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called "LLVM". This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.
C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.
Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
