Moved `Contents` and `Fixups` SmallVector storage to MCSection, enabling trivial destructors for most fragment subclasses and eliminating the need for MCFragment::destroy in ~MCSection. For appending content to the current section, use getContentsForAppending. During assembler relaxation, prefer setContents/setFixups, which may involve copying and reduce the benefits of https://reviews.llvm.org/D145791. Moving only Contents out-of-line caused a slight performance regression (Alexis Engelke's 2024 prototype). By also moving Fragments out-of-line, fragment destructors become trivial, resulting in neglgible instructions:u increase for "stage2-O0-g" and [large max-rss decrease](https://llvm-compile-time-tracker.com/compare.php?from=84e82746c3ff63ec23a8b85e9efd4f7fccf92590&to=555a28c0b2f8250a9cf86fd267a04b0460283e15&stat=max-rss&linkStats=on) for the "stage1-ReleaseLTO-g (link only)" benchmark. ( An older version using fewer inline functions: https://llvm-compile-time-tracker.com/compare.php?from=bb982e733cfcda7e4cfb0583544f68af65211ed1&to=f12d55f97c47717d438951ecddecf8ebd28c296b&linkStats=on ) Now using plain SmallVector in MCSection for storage, with potential for future allocator optimizations, such as allocating `Contents` as the trailing object of MCDataFragment. (GNU Assembler uses gnulib's obstack for fragment management.) Co-authored-by: Alexis Engelke <engelke@in.tum.de> Pull Request: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/146307
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.
