Some partial order of operations exists.

A single total order for operations at a single address exists.

Acquire synchronization operation.

Release synchronization operation.

Acquire + Release synchronization operation.

Full sequential Consistency operation.

Assign an expression to a variable: * dest: Variable to assign to * source: Source expression

Memory fence operation

Always branch to the target label

Branch to label targetTrue if cond is true otherwise to label targetFalse * cond: condition that will be tested, must be of type i1 * targetTrue: label to branch to if cond is true * targetFalse: label to branch to if cond is false

Comment Plain comment.

Set a label on this position. * name: Identifier of this label, unique for this module

Store variable value in pointer ptr. If value is of type t then ptr must be of type t*. * value: Variable/Constant to store. * ptr: Location to store the value in

Multiway branch * scrutinee: Variable or constant which must be of integer type that is determines which arm is chosen. * def: The default label if there is no match in target. * target: A list of (value,label) where the value is an integer constant and label the corresponding label to jump to if the scrutinee matches the value.

Return a result. * result: The variable or constant to return

An instruction for the optimizer that the code following is not reachable

Raise an expression to a statement (if don't want result or want to use Llvm unnamed values.

A nop LLVM statement. Useful as its often more efficient to use this then to wrap LLvmStatement in a Just or [].

Allocate amount * sizeof(tp) bytes on the stack * tp: LlvmType to reserve room for * amount: The nr of tp's which must be allocated

Perform the machine operator op on the operands left and right * op: operator * left: left operand * right: right operand

Perform a compare operation on the operands left and right * op: operator * left: left operand * right: right operand

Extract a scalar element from a vector * val: The vector * idx: The index of the scalar within the vector

Extract a scalar element from a structure * val: The structure * idx: The index of the scalar within the structure Corresponds to "extractvalue" instruction.

Insert a scalar element into a vector * val: The source vector * elt: The scalar to insert * index: The index at which to insert the scalar

Shuffle two vectors into a destination vector using given indices

Allocate amount * sizeof(tp) bytes on the heap * tp: LlvmType to reserve room for * amount: The nr of tp's which must be allocated

Load the value at location ptr

Atomic load of the value at location ptr

Navigate in a structure, selecting elements * inbound: Is the pointer inbounds? (computed pointer doesn't overflow) * ptr: Location of the structure * indexes: A list of indexes to select the correct value.

Cast the variable from to the to type. This is an abstraction of three cast operators in Llvm, inttoptr, ptrtoint and bitcast. * cast: Cast type * from: Variable to cast * to: type to cast to

Atomic read-modify-write operation * op: Atomic operation * addr: Address to modify * operand: Operand to operation * ordering: Ordering requirement

Compare-and-exchange operation * addr: Address to modify * old: Expected value * new: New value * suc_ord: Ordering required in success case * fail_ord: Ordering required in failure case, can be no stronger than suc_ord

Result is an i1, true if store was successful.

Call a function. The result is the value of the expression. * tailJumps: CallType to signal if the function should be tail called * fnptrval: An LLVM value containing a pointer to a function to be invoked. Can be indirect. Should be LMFunction type. * args: Concrete arguments for the parameters * attrs: A list of function attributes for the call. Only NoReturn, NoUnwind, ReadOnly and ReadNone are valid here.

Call a function as above but potentially taking metadata as arguments. * tailJumps: CallType to signal if the function should be tail called * fnptrval: An LLVM value containing a pointer to a function to be invoked. Can be indirect. Should be LMFunction type. * args: Arguments that may include metadata. * attrs: A list of function attributes for the call. Only NoReturn, NoUnwind, ReadOnly and ReadNone are valid here.

Merge variables from different basic blocks which are predecessors of this basic block in a new variable of type tp. * tp: type of the merged variable, must match the types of the predecessor variables. * predecessors: A list of variables and the basic block that they originate from.

Inline assembly expression. Syntax is very similar to the style used by GCC. * assembly: Actual inline assembly code. * constraints: Operand constraints. * return ty: Return type of function. * vars: Any variables involved in the assembly code. * sideeffect: Does the expression have side effects not visible from the constraints list. * alignstack: Should the stack be conservatively aligned before this expression is executed.

A LLVM expression with metadata attached to it.
