After a label in a function without CFG information, use a reasonably pessimistic estimation of register state (assume that any register that can be clobbered in this function was actually clobbered) instead of the most pessimistic "all registers are unsafe". This is the same estimation as used by the dataflow variant of the analysis when the preceding instruction is not known for sure. Without this, leaf functions without CFG information are likely to have false positive reports about non-protected return instructions, as 1) LR is unlikely to be signed and authenticated in a leaf function and 2) LR is likely to be used by a return instruction near the end of the function and 3) the register state is likely to be reset at least once during the linear scan through the function
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.
