Detailed Description

Macro Definition Documentation

ALWAYS_INLINE

#define ALWAYS_INLINE

We have to disable all function inlining at the global level for Aladdin + LLVM-Tracer to work, but sometimes we do want to force inline functions (otherwise we run into all the issues of function call barriers in Aladdin).

Add ALWAYS_INLINE before the function declaration to force inlining on this function. Only add this on instrumented functions; it's usually unnecessary and often generates a lot of compiler warnings.

ASSUME_ALIGNED

#define ASSUME_ALIGNED	(		ptr,
			args...
	)		__builtin_assume_aligned((ptr), args)

Tell the compiler to assume a pointer is aligned on some byte boundary.

This is not supported in clang 3.4.
