   <h1>"compiler-rt" runtime libraries</h1>
   <!--*********************************************************************-->

   <p>The compiler-rt project consists of:
   <ul>
   <li>
     <p><b>builtins</b> - a simple library that provides an implementation
     of the low-level target-specific hooks required by code generation and
     other runtime components.  For example, when compiling for a 32-bit target,
     converting a double to a 64-bit unsigned integer is compiling into a runtime
     call to the "__fixunsdfdi" function.  The builtins library provides
     optimized implementations of this and other low-level routines, either in
     target-independent C form, or as a heavily-optimized assembly.</p>
     <p>builtins provides full support for the libgcc interfaces on supported
     targets and high performance hand tuned implementations of commonly used
     functions like __floatundidf in assembly that are dramatically faster than
     the libgcc implementations. It should be very easy to bring builtins to
     support a new target by adding the new routines needed by that target.</p>
   </li>
   <li>
     <b>sanitizer runtimes</b> - runtime libraries that are required to run
     the code with sanitizer instrumentation. This includes runtimes for:
     <ul>
     <li><a href="http://clang.llvm.org/docs/AddressSanitizer.html">AddressSanitizer</a></li>
     <li><a href="http://clang.llvm.org/docs/ThreadSanitizer.html">ThreadSanitizer</a></li>
     <li><a href="http://clang.llvm.org/docs/UsersManual.html#opt-fsanitize-undefined">UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer</a></li>
     <li><a href="http://clang.llvm.org/docs/MemorySanitizer.html">MemorySanitizer</a></li>
     <li><a href="http://clang.llvm.org/docs/LeakSanitizer.html">LeakSanitizer</a></li>
     <li><a href="http://clang.llvm.org/docs/DataFlowSanitizer.html">DataFlowSanitizer</a></li>
     </ul>
   </li>
   <li>
     <b>profile</b> - library which is used to collect coverage information.
   </li>
   <li>
     <b>BlocksRuntime</b> - a target-independent implementation of Apple "Blocks"
     runtime interfaces.
   </li>
   </ul>
   </p>

   <p>Currently compiler-rt is primarily used by
     the <a href="http://clang.llvm.org">Clang</a>
     and <a href="http://llvm.org">LLVM</a> projects as the implementation for
     the runtime compiler support libraries. For more information on using
     compiler-rt with Clang, please see the Clang
     <a href="http://clang.llvm.org/get_started.html">Getting Started</a>
     page.</p>

   <!--=====================================================================-->
   <h2 id="requirements">Platform Support</h2>
   <!--=====================================================================-->

    <p><b>builtins</b> is known to work on the following platforms:</p>
    <ul>
    <li>Machine Architectures: i386, X86-64, SPARC64, ARM, PowerPC, PowerPC 64.</li>
    <li>OS: AuroraUX, DragonFlyBSD, FreeBSD, NetBSD, Linux, Darwin.</li>
    </ul>

    <p>Most sanitizer runtimes are supported only on Linux x86-64. See tool-specific
    pages in <a href="http://clang.llvm.org/docs/index.html">Clang docs</a> for more
    details.</p>

   <!--=====================================================================-->
   <h2 id="dir-structure">Source Structure</h2>
   <!--=====================================================================-->

    <p>A short explanation of the directory structure of compiler-rt:</p>

    <p>For testing it is possible to build a generic library and an optimized library.
        The optimized library is formed by overlaying the optimized versions onto the generic library.
        Of course, some architectures have additional functions,
        so the optimized library may have functions not found in the generic version.</p>

    <ul>
     <li> include/ contains headers that can be included in user programs (for example,
          users may directly call certain function from sanitizer runtimes).</li>
     <li> lib/ contains libraries implementations. </li>
     <li> lib/builtins is a generic portable implementation of <b>builtins</b> routines.</li>
     <li> lib/builtins/(arch) has optimized versions of some routines
          for the supported architectures.</li>
     <li> test/ contains test suites for compiler-rt runtimes.</li>
    </ul>

   <!--=====================================================================-->
   <h2>Get it and get involved!</h2>
   <!--=====================================================================-->

   <p>Generally, you need to build LLVM/Clang in order to build compiler-rt. You can
   either follow the Clang's
   <a href="http://clang.llvm.org/get_started.html">Getting Started</a> page, or
   <a href="http://llvm.org/docs/CMake.html#quick-start">build LLVM</a>
   separately to get llvm-config binary, and then run:

   <ul>
   <li>svn co http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/compiler-rt/trunk compiler-rt</li>
   <li>mkdir build</li>
   <li>cd build</li>
   <li>cmake ../compiler-rt -DLLVM_CONFIG_PATH=/path/to/llvm-config</li>
   <li>make</li>
   </ul>

   <p>Tests for sanitizer runtimes are ported to
   <a href="http://llvm.org/docs/CommandGuide/lit.html">llvm-lit</a> and are
   run by <b>make check-all</b> command in LLVM/Clang/compiler-rt build tree.</p>

   <p>compiler-rt libraries are installed to the system with <b>make install</b>
   command in either LLVM/Clang/compiler-rt or standalone
   compiler-rt build tree.</p>

   <p>compiler-rt doesn't have its own mailing list, if you have questions please
      email the <a
     href="http://lists.llvm.org/mailman/listinfo/llvm-dev">llvm-dev</a> mailing
     list.  Commits to the compiler-rt SVN module are automatically sent to the
     <a
   href="http://lists.llvm.org/mailman/listinfo/llvm-commits">llvm-commits</a>
     mailing list.</p>
