LLVM Translation Validation Automated with Large Language Models and Lean

Chunhao Liao, Hongxu Xu, Xintong Zhou +2

LLVM is the cornerstone of modern compilers, but its subtle intermediate representation (IR) semantics make transformations error-prone and necessitate formal verification. Alive2,…

Semantic-aware and Self-improving Program Reduction via Agentic Large Language Models

Xintong Zhou, Hongxu Xu, Chunhao Liao +3

Reducing bug-triggering programs to their minimal essential form is a fundamental task in debugging language processors such as compilers and interpreters. Existing reduction techn…

Can Coding Agents Implement Missed Compiler Optimizations? Evaluating LLM Agents on LLVM Peephole Optimizations

Hongxu Xu, Chunhao Liao, Xintong Zhou +1

Coding agents built on large language models are now capable of patching sizable real-world codebases, yet whether they can develop compiler optimizations remains an open question.…

Leveraging Large Language Models for Generalizing Peephole Optimizations

Chunhao Liao, Hongxu Xu, Xintong Zhou +2

Peephole optimizations are a core component of modern optimizing compilers. It rewrites specific instruction into semantically equivalent but more efficient forms. In practice, cre…

LPO: Discovering Missed Peephole Optimizations with Large Language Models

Zhenyang Xu, Hongxu Xu, Yongqiang Tian +2

Peephole optimization is an essential class of compiler optimizations that targets small, inefficient instruction sequences within programs. By replacing such suboptimal instructio…

On the Feasibility of Deduplicating Compiler Bugs with Bisection

Xintong Zhou, Zhenyang Xu, Yongqiang Tian +1

Random testing has proven to be an effective technique for compiler validation. However, the debugging of bugs identified through random testing presents a significant challenge du…

WDD: Weighted Delta Debugging

Xintong Zhou, Zhenyang Xu, Mengxiao Zhang +2

Delta Debugging is a widely used family of algorithms (e.g., ddmin and ProbDD) to automatically minimize bug-triggering test inputs, thus to facilitate debugging. It takes a list o…
