Hi I've been doing gcc plugins for gcc 4.8 and 4.9 but I'm having a problem in gcc 5.1.0. The problem is that I can't register a GIMPLE pass in this new gcc version.
Here is an example plugin code:
int plugin_is_GPL_compatible;
static bool gateCheck(void)
{
printf("BBBBB\n");
return true;
}
static unsigned int executeCheck(void)
{
printf("CCCCC\n");
return 0;
}
const pass_data gimplePass =
{
GIMPLE_PASS, // opt type name
"exampleChecker", // name
OPTGROUP_NONE, // optinfo_flags
TV_NONE, // tv_id
PROP_ssa, // properties_required
0, // properties_provided
0, // properties_destroyed
0, // todo_flags_start
0, // todo_flags_finish
};
class passAttrChecker : public gimple_opt_pass
{
public:
passAttrChecker(gcc::context* ctxt)
: gimple_opt_pass(gimplePass, ctxt)
{}
bool gate (){return gateCheck();}
unsigned int execute(){return executeCheck();}
};
extern int plugin_init(struct plugin_name_args* plugin_info,
struct plugin_gcc_version* version)
{
const char * name = "exampleChecker";
struct register_pass_info pass_info;
pass_info.pass = new passAttrChecker(g);
pass_info.reference_pass_name = "ssa";
pass_info.ref_pass_instance_number = 1;
pass_info.pos_op = PASS_POS_INSERT_AFTER;
register_callback(name, PLUGIN_PASS_MANAGER_SETUP, NULL, &pass_info);
return 0;
}
When compiling some file with this plugin should be printed some B's and C's, but nothing is being printed.
The difference with gcc 4.9 is that the type "pass_data" has two less fields than before(has_gate and has_execute). Everything else seems to be like before. If someone knows what I'm doing wrong or what I'm missing, I'll appreciate the help.
I've already solved it. It was a pretty silly mistake. Now in gcc 5.1.0 the execute and gate methods from otp_pass recive one argument, instead of void.
This way the example works:
class passAttrChecker : public gimple_opt_pass
{
public:
passAttrChecker(gcc::context* ctxt)
: gimple_opt_pass(gimplePass, ctxt)
{}
bool gate (function *)
{
std::cout << "GATE\n";
return true;
}
unsigned int execute(function *)
{
std::cout << "EXECUTE\n";
return 1;
}
};
