This is an alternative to https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/122103 In SPIR-V, private global variables have the Private storage class. This PR adds a new address space which allows frontend to emit variable with this storage class when targeting this backend. This is covered in this proposal: llvm/wg-hlsl@4c9e11a This PR will cause addrspacecast to show up in several cases, like class member functions or assignment. Those will have to be handled in the backend later on, particularly to fixup pointer storage classes in some functions. Before this change, global variable were emitted with the 'Function' storage class, which was wrong.
C language Family Front-end
Welcome to Clang.
This is a compiler front-end for the C family of languages (C, C++ and Objective-C) which is built as part of the LLVM compiler infrastructure project.
Unlike many other compiler frontends, Clang is useful for a number of things beyond just compiling code: we intend for Clang to be host to a number of different source-level tools. One example of this is the Clang Static Analyzer.
If you're interested in more (including how to build Clang) it is best to read the relevant websites. Here are some pointers:
