Dan Gohman 87fdceaf73 Revert r131781 again. Apparently there is more going on here.
llvm-svn: 132625
2011-06-04 05:11:22 +00:00
Dan Gohman 27b82f2f91 Reapply r131781 (revert r131809), now that some BasicAA shortcomings
it exposed are fixed.

llvm-svn: 132611
2011-06-04 00:46:31 +00:00
Dan Gohman fb02cec44e Fix BasicAA's recursion detection so that it doesn't pessimize
queries in the case of a DAG, where a query reaches a node
visited earlier, but it's not on a cycle. This avoids
MayAlias results in cases where BasicAA is expected to
return MustAlias or PartialAlias in order to protect TBAA.

2011-06-04 00:31:50 +00:00
Dan Gohman 4e7e7958d7 When merging MustAlias and PartialAlias, chose PartialAlias instead

Dan Gohman 0573b55c2b Make DecomposeGEPExpression check SimplifyInstruction only

Duncan Sands 5ec65765e6 Revert commit 131781, to see if it fixes the x86-64 dragonegg buildbot.
Original log message:
When BasicAA can determine that two pointers have the same base but
differ by a dynamic offset, return PartialAlias instead of MayAlias.
See the comment in the code for details. This fixes PR9971.

Dan Gohman 0f124e1987 Give GetUnderlyingObject a TargetData, to keep it in sync
with BasicAA's DecomposeGEPExpression, which recently began
using a TargetData. This fixes PR8968, though the testcase
is awkward to reduce.

Also, update several off GetUnderlyingObject's users
which happen to have a TargetData handy to pass it in.

llvm-svn: 124134
2011-01-24 18:53:32 +00:00
Dan Gohman 44da55b7be Teach BasicAA to return PartialAlias in cases where both pointers
are pointing to the same object, one pointer is accessing the entire
object, and the other is access has a non-zero size. This prevents
TBAA from kicking in and saying NoAlias in such cases.

Owen Anderson 6c18d1aac0 Get rid of static constructors for pass registration. Instead, every pass exposes an initializeMyPassFunction(), which
must be called in the pass's constructor.  This function uses static dependency declarations to recursively initialize
the pass's dependencies.

Clients that only create passes through the createFooPass() APIs will require no changes.  Clients that want to use the
CommandLine options for passes will need to manually call the appropriate initialization functions in PassInitialization.h
before parsing commandline arguments.

I have tested this with all standard configurations of clang and llvm-gcc on Darwin.  It is possible that there are problems
with the static dependencies that will only be visible with non-standard options.  If you encounter any crash in pass
registration/creation, please send the testcase to me directly.

Dan Gohman 41f14cf3e9 Remove the experimental AliasAnalysis::getDependency interface, which
isn't a good level of abstraction for memdep. Instead, generalize
AliasAnalysis::alias and related interfaces with a new Location

Pointer and Size as before, plus an additional field for a TBAA tag.

Also, introduce a fixed MD_tbaa metadata tag kind.

Chris Lattner 7a5b56aca9 Change the other half of aliasGEP (which handles GEP differencing) to use DecomposeGEPExpression. This dramatically simplifies and shrinks the code by eliminating the horrible CheckGEPInstructions method, fixes a miscompilation (@test3) and makes the code more aggressive. In particular, we now handle the @test4 case, which is reduced from the SmallPtrSet constructor. Missing this caused us to emit a variable length memset instead of a fixed size one.

If a MachineInstr doesn't have a memoperand but has an opcode that

*anything*, including stack slots which the compiler completely
controls.

To partially compensate for this, teach the ScheduleDAG building
code to do basic getUnderlyingValue analysis. This greatly

dependencies. This code will need to be revisited when we start

Duncan Sands 38ef3a8ec7 Rather than having special rules like "intrinsics cannot
throw exceptions", just mark intrinsics with the nounwind
attribute.  Likewise, mark intrinsics as readnone/readonly
and get rid of special aliasing logic (which didn't use
anything more than this anyway).

Duncan Sands 68b6f50938 Integrate the readonly/readnone logic more deeply
into alias analysis.  This meant updating the API
which now has versions of the getModRefBehavior,
doesNotAccessMemory and onlyReadsMemory methods
which take a callsite parameter.  These should be
used unless the callsite is not known, since in
general they can do a better job than the versions
that take a function.  Also, users should no longer
call the version of getModRefBehavior that takes
both a function and a callsite.  To reduce the
chance of misuse it is now protected.

Duncan Sands ad0ea2d430 Fix PR1146: parameter attributes are longer part of
the function type, instead they belong to functions
and function calls.  This is an updated and slightly

The only known problem is that auto-upgrading of
bitcode files doesn't seem to work properly (see
test/Bitcode/AutoUpgradeIntrinsics.ll).  Hopefully
a bitcode guru (who might that be? :) ) will fix it.

Duncan Sands 44b8721de8 Executive summary: getTypeSize -> getTypeStoreSize / getABITypeSize.
The meaning of getTypeSize was not clear - clarifying it is important
now that we have x86 long double and arbitrary precision integers.
The issue with long double is that it requires 80 bits, and this is
not a multiple of its alignment.  This gives a primitive type for
which getTypeSize differed from getABITypeSize.  For arbitrary precision
integers it is even worse: there is the minimum number of bits needed to
hold the type (eg: 36 for an i36), the maximum number of bits that will
be overwriten when storing the type (40 bits for i36) and the ABI size
(i.e. the storage size rounded up to a multiple of the alignment; 64 bits
for i36).

This patch removes getTypeSize (not really - it is still there but
deprecated to allow for a gradual transition).  Instead there is:

(1) getTypeSizeInBits - a number of bits that suffices to hold all
values of the type.  For a primitive type, this is the minimum number
of bits.  For an i36 this is 36 bits.  For x86 long double it is 80.
This corresponds to gcc's TYPE_PRECISION.

(2) getTypeStoreSizeInBits - the maximum number of bits that is
written when storing the type (or read when reading it).  For an
i36 this is 40 bits, for an x86 long double it is 80 bits.  This
is the size alias analysis is interested in (getTypeStoreSize
returns the number of bytes).  There doesn't seem to be anything
corresponding to this in gcc.

(3) getABITypeSizeInBits - this is getTypeStoreSizeInBits rounded
up to a multiple of the alignment.  For an i36 this is 64, for an
x86 long double this is 96 or 128 depending on the OS.  This is the
spacing between consecutive elements when you form an array out of
this type (getABITypeSize returns the number of bytes).  This is
TYPE_SIZE in gcc.

Since successive elements in a SequentialType (arrays, pointers
and vectors) need to be aligned, the spacing between them will be
given by getABITypeSize.  This means that the size of an array
is the length times the getABITypeSize.  It also means that GEP
computations need to use getABITypeSize when computing offsets.
Furthermore, if an alloca allocates several elements at once then
these too need to be aligned, so the size of the alloca has to be
the number of elements multiplied by getABITypeSize.  Logically
speaking this doesn't have to be the case when allocating just
one element, but it is simpler to also use getABITypeSize in this
case.  So alloca's and mallocs should use getABITypeSize.  Finally,
since gcc's only notion of size is that given by getABITypeSize, if
you want to output assembler etc the same as gcc then getABITypeSize
is the size you want.

Since a store will overwrite no more than getTypeStoreSize bytes,
and a read will read no more than that many bytes, this is the
notion of size appropriate for alias analysis calculations.

In this patch I have corrected all type size uses except some of
those in ScalarReplAggregates, lib/Codegen, lib/Target (the hard
cases).  I will get around to auditing these too at some point,
but I could do with some help.

Finally, I made one change which I think wise but others might
consider pointless and suboptimal: in an unpacked struct the
amount of space allocated for a field is now given by the ABI
size rather than getTypeStoreSize.  I did this because every
other place that reserves memory for a type (eg: alloca) now
uses getABITypeSize, and I didn't want to make an exception
for unpacked structs, i.e. I did it to make things more uniform.
This only effects structs containing long doubles and arbitrary
precision integers.  If someone wants to pack these types more
tightly they can always use a packed struct.
