When two calls from the same MDLocation are inlined they currently get
treated as one inlined function call (creating difficulty debugging,
duplicate variables, etc).
Clang worked around this by including column information on inline calls
which doesn't address LTO inlining or calls to the same function from
the same line and column (such as through a macro). It also didn't
address ctor and member function calls.
By making the inlinedAt locations distinct, every call site has an
explicitly distinct location that cannot be coalesced with any other
call.
This can produce linearly (2x in the worst case where every call is
inlined and the call instruction has a non-call instruction at the same
location) more debug locations. Any increase beyond that are in cases
where the Clang workaround was insufficient and the new scheme is
creating necessary distinct nodes that were being erroneously coalesced
previously.
After this change to LLVM the incomplete workarounds in Clang. That
should reduce the number of debug locations (in a build without column
info, the default on Darwin, not the default on Linux) by not creating
pseudo-distinct locations for every call to an inline function.
(oh, and I made the inlined-at chain rebuilding iterative instead of
recursive because I was having trouble wrapping my head around it the
way it was - open to discussion on the right design for that function
(including going back to a recursive solution))

Change `MDTuple::getTemporary()` and `MDLocation::getTemporary()` to
return (effectively) `std::unique_ptr<T, MDNode::deleteTemporary>`, and
clean up call sites. (For now, `DIBuilder` call sites just call
`release()` immediately.)
There's an accompanying change in each of clang and polly to use the new
API.
llvm-svn: 226504
Remove `MDNodeFwdDecl` (as promised in r226481). Aside from API
changes, there's no real functionality change here.
`MDNode::getTemporary()` now forwards to `MDTuple::getTemporary()`,
which returns a tuple with `isTemporary()` equal to true.
The main point is that we can now add temporaries of other `MDNode`
subclasses, needed for PR22235 (I introduced `MDNodeFwdDecl` in the
first place because I didn't recognize this need, and thought they were
only needed to handle forward references).
A few things left out of (or highlighted by) this commit:
- I've had to remove the (few) uses of `std::unique_ptr<>` to deal
with temporaries, since the destructor is no longer public.
`getTemporary()` should probably return the equivalent of
`std::unique_ptr<T, MDNode::deleteTemporary>`.
- `MDLocation::getTemporary()` doesn't exist yet (worse, it actually
does exist, but does the wrong thing: `MDNode::getTemporary()` is
inherited and returns an `MDTuple`).
- `MDNode` now only has one subclass, `UniquableMDNode`, and the
distinction between them is actually somewhat confusing.
I'll fix those up next.

a cache of assumptions for a single function, and an immutable pass that
manages those caches.
The motivation for this change is two fold. Immutable analyses are
really hacks around the current pass manager design and don't exist in
the new design. This is usually OK, but it requires that the core logic
of an immutable pass be reasonably partitioned off from the pass logic.
This change does precisely that. As a consequence it also paves the way
for the *many* utility functions that deal in the assumptions to live in
both pass manager worlds by creating an separate non-pass object with
its own independent API that they all rely on. Now, the only bits of the
system that deal with the actual pass mechanics are those that actually
need to deal with the pass mechanics.
Once this separation is made, several simplifications become pretty
obvious in the assumption cache itself. Rather than using a set and
callback value handles, it can just be a vector of weak value handles.
The callers can easily skip the handles that are null, and eventually we
can wrap all of this up behind a filter iterator.
For now, this adds boiler plate to the various passes, but this kind of
boiler plate will end up making it possible to port these passes to the
new pass manager, and so it will end up factored away pretty reasonably.

Split `Metadata` away from the `Value` class hierarchy, as part of
PR21532. Assembly and bitcode changes are in the wings, but this is the
bulk of the change for the IR C++ API.
I have a follow-up patch prepared for `clang`. If this breaks other
sub-projects, I apologize in advance :(. Help me compile it on Darwin
I'll try to fix it. FWIW, the errors should be easy to fix, so it may
be simpler to just fix it yourself.
This breaks the build for all metadata-related code that's out-of-tree.
Rest assured the transition is mechanical and the compiler should catch
almost all of the problems.
Here's a quick guide for updating your code:
- `Metadata` is the root of a class hierarchy with three main classes:
`MDNode`, `MDString`, and `ValueAsMetadata`. It is distinct from
the `Value` class hierarchy. It is typeless -- i.e., instances do
*not* have a `Type`.
- `MDNode`'s operands are all `Metadata *` (instead of `Value *`).
- `TrackingVH<MDNode>` and `WeakVH` referring to metadata can be
replaced with `TrackingMDNodeRef` and `TrackingMDRef`, respectively.
If you're referring solely to resolved `MDNode`s -- post graph
construction -- just use `MDNode*`.
- `MDNode` (and the rest of `Metadata`) have only limited support for
`replaceAllUsesWith()`.
As long as an `MDNode` is pointing at a forward declaration -- the
result of `MDNode::getTemporary()` -- it maintains a side map of its
uses and can RAUW itself. Once the forward declarations are fully
resolved RAUW support is dropped on the ground. This means that
uniquing collisions on changing operands cause nodes to become
"distinct". (This already happened fairly commonly, whenever an
operand went to null.)
If you're constructing complex (non self-reference) `MDNode` cycles,
you need to call `MDNode::resolveCycles()` on each node (or on a
top-level node that somehow references all of the nodes). Also,
don't do that. Metadata cycles (and the RAUW machinery needed to
construct them) are expensive.
- An `MDNode` can only refer to a `Constant` through a bridge called
`ConstantAsMetadata` (one of the subclasses of `ValueAsMetadata`).
As a side effect, accessing an operand of an `MDNode` that is known
to be, e.g., `ConstantInt`, takes three steps: first, cast from
`Metadata` to `ConstantAsMetadata`; second, extract the `Constant`;
third, cast down to `ConstantInt`.
The eventual goal is to introduce `MDInt`/`MDFloat`/etc. and have
metadata schema owners transition away from using `Constant`s when
the type isn't important (and they don't care about referring to
`GlobalValue`s).
In the meantime, I've added transitional API to the `mdconst`
namespace that matches semantics with the old code, in order to
avoid adding the error-prone three-step equivalent to every call
site. If your old code was:
MDNode *N = foo();
bar(isa <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(0)));
baz(cast <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(1)));
bak(cast_or_null <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(2)));
bat(dyn_cast <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(3)));
bay(dyn_cast_or_null<ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(4)));
you can trivially match its semantics with:
MDNode *N = foo();
bar(mdconst::hasa <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(0)));
baz(mdconst::extract <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(1)));
bak(mdconst::extract_or_null <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(2)));
bat(mdconst::dyn_extract <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(3)));
bay(mdconst::dyn_extract_or_null<ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(4)));
and when you transition your metadata schema to `MDInt`:
MDNode *N = foo();
bar(isa <MDInt>(N->getOperand(0)));
baz(cast <MDInt>(N->getOperand(1)));
bak(cast_or_null <MDInt>(N->getOperand(2)));
bat(dyn_cast <MDInt>(N->getOperand(3)));
bay(dyn_cast_or_null<MDInt>(N->getOperand(4)));
- A `CallInst` -- specifically, intrinsic instructions -- can refer to
metadata through a bridge called `MetadataAsValue`. This is a
subclass of `Value` where `getType()->isMetadataTy()`.
`MetadataAsValue` is the *only* class that can legally refer to a
`LocalAsMetadata`, which is a bridged form of non-`Constant` values
like `Argument` and `Instruction`. It can also refer to any other
`Metadata` subclass.
(I'll break all your testcases in a follow-up commit, when I propagate
this change to assembly.)

This restores the commit from SVN r219899 with an additional change to ensure
that the CodeGen is correct for the case that was identified as being incorrect
(originally PR7272).
In the case that during inlining we need to synthesize a value on the stack
(i.e. for passing a value byval), then any function involving that alloca must
be stripped of its tailness as the restriction that it does not access the
parent's stack no longer holds. Unfortunately, a single alloca can cause a
rippling effect through out the inlining as the value may be aliased or may be
mutated through an escaped external call. As such, we simply track if an alloca
has been introduced in the frame during inlining, and strip any tail calls.
llvm-svn: 220811
When functions are inlined, instructions without debug information are
attributed to the call site's DebugLoc. After inlining, inlined static
allocas are moved to the caller's entry block, adjacent to the caller's
original static alloca instructions. By retaining the call site's
DebugLoc, these instructions could cause instructions that were
subsequently inserted at the entry block to pick up the same DebugLoc.

llvm-svn: 220255
For pointer-typed function arguments, enhanced alignment can be asserted using
the 'align' attribute. When inlining, if this enhanced alignment information is
not otherwise available, preserve it using @llvm.assume-based alignment
assumptions.
llvm-svn: 219876
This change, which allows @llvm.assume to be used from within computeKnownBits
(and other associated functions in ValueTracking), adds some (optional)
parameters to computeKnownBits and friends. These functions now (optionally)
take a "context" instruction pointer, an AssumptionTracker pointer, and also a
DomTree pointer, and most of the changes are just to pass this new information
when it is easily available from InstSimplify, InstCombine, etc.
As explained below, the significant conceptual change is that known properties
of a value might depend on the control-flow location of the use (because we
care that the @llvm.assume dominates the use because assumptions have
control-flow dependencies). This means that, when we ask if bits are known in a
value, we might get different answers for different uses.
The significant changes are all in ValueTracking. Two main changes: First, as
with the rest of the code, new parameters need to be passed around. To make
this easier, I grouped them into a structure, and I made internal static
versions of the relevant functions that take this structure as a parameter. The
new code does as you might expect, it looks for @llvm.assume calls that make
use of the value we're trying to learn something about (often indirectly),
attempts to pattern match that expression, and uses the result if successful.
By making use of the AssumptionTracker, the process of finding @llvm.assume
calls is not expensive.
Part of the structure being passed around inside ValueTracking is a set of
already-considered @llvm.assume calls. This is to prevent a query using, for
example, the assume(a == b), to recurse on itself. The context and DT params
are used to find applicable assumptions. An assumption needs to dominate the
context instruction, or come after it deterministically. In this latter case we
only handle the specific case where both the assumption and the context
instruction are in the same block, and we need to exclude assumptions from
being used to simplify their own ephemeral values (those which contribute only
to the assumption) because otherwise the assumption would prove its feeding
comparison trivial and would be removed.
This commit adds the plumbing and the logic for a simple masked-bit propagation
(just enough to write a regression test). Future commits add more patterns
(and, correspondingly, more regression tests).
llvm-svn: 217342
This adds an immutable pass, AssumptionTracker, which keeps a cache of
@llvm.assume call instructions within a module. It uses callback value handles
to keep stale functions and intrinsics out of the map, and it relies on any
code that creates new @llvm.assume calls to notify it of the new instructions.
The benefit is that code needing to find @llvm.assume intrinsics can do so
directly, without scanning the function, thus allowing the cost of @llvm.assume
handling to be negligible when none are present.
The current design is intended to be lightweight. We don't keep track of
anything until we need a list of assumptions in some function. The first time
this happens, we scan the function. After that, we add/remove @llvm.assume
calls from the cache in response to registration calls and ValueHandle
callbacks.
There are no new direct test cases for this pass, but because it calls it
validation function upon module finalization, we'll pick up detectable
inconsistencies from the other tests that touch @llvm.assume calls.
This pass will be used by follow-up commits that make use of @llvm.assume.

This feeds AA through the IFI structure into the inliner so that
AddAliasScopeMetadata can use AA->getModRefBehavior to figure out which
functions only access their arguments (instead of just hard-coding some
knowledge of memory intrinsics). Most of the information is only available from
BasicAA; this is important for preserving alias scoping information for
target-specific intrinsics when doing the noalias parameter attribute to
metadata conversion.
llvm-svn: 216866
I thought that I had fixed this problem in r216818, but I did not do a very
good job. The underlying issue is that when we add alias.scope metadata we are
asserting that this metadata completely describes the aliasing relationships
within the current aliasing scope domain, and so in the context of translating
noalias argument attributes, the pointers must all be based on noalias
arguments (as underlying objects) and have no other kind of underlying object.
In r216818 excluding appropriate accesses from getting alias.scope metadata is
done by looking for underlying objects that are not identified function-local
objects -- but that's wrong because allocas, etc. are also function-local
objects and we need to explicitly check that all underlying objects are the
noalias arguments for which we're adding metadata aliasing scopes.
This fixes the underlying-object check for adding alias.scope metadata, and
does some refactoring of the related capture-checking eligibility logic (and
adds more comments; hopefully making everything a bit clearer).
Fixes self-hosting on x86_64 with -mllvm -enable-noalias-to-md-conversion (the
feature is still disabled by default).
llvm-svn: 216863
The previous implementation of AddAliasScopeMetadata, which adds noalias
metadata to preserve noalias parameter attribute information when inlining had
a flaw: it would add alias.scope metadata to accesses which might have been
derived from pointers other than noalias function parameters. This was
incorrect because even some access known not to alias with all noalias function
parameters could easily alias with an access derived from some other pointer.
Instead, when deriving from some unknown pointer, we cannot add alias.scope
metadata at all. This fixes a miscompile of the test-suite's tramp3d-v4.
Furthermore, we cannot add alias.scope to functions unless we know they
access only argument-derived pointers (currently, we know this only for
memory intrinsics).
Also, we fix a theoretical problem with using the NoCapture attribute to skip
the capture check. This is incorrect (as explained in the comment added), but
would not matter in any code generated by Clang because we get only inferred
nocapture attributes in Clang-generated IR.
This functionality is not yet enabled by default.
llvm-svn: 216818
When a call site with noalias metadata is inlined, that metadata can be
propagated directly to the inlined instructions (only those that might access
memory because it is not useful on the others). Prior to inlining, the noalias
metadata could express that a call would not alias with some other memory
access, which implies that no instruction within that called function would
alias. By propagating the metadata to the inlined instructions, we preserve
that knowledge.
This should complete the enhancements requested in PR20500.
llvm-svn: 215676
When preserving noalias function parameter attributes by adding noalias
metadata in the inliner, we should do this for general function calls (not just
memory intrinsics). The logic is very similar to what already existed (except
that we want to add this metadata even for functions taking no relevant
parameters). This metadata can be used by ModRef queries in the caller after
inlining.
This addresses the first part of PR20500. Adding noalias metadata during
inlining is still turned off by default.

This functionality is currently turned off by default.
Part of the motivation for introducing scoped-noalias metadata is to enable the
preservation of noalias parameter attribute information after inlining.
Sometimes this can be inferred from the code in the caller after inlining, but
often we simply lose valuable information.
The overall process if fairly simple:
1. Create a new unqiue scope domain.
2. For each (used) noalias parameter, create a new alias scope.
3. For each pointer, collect the underlying objects. Add a noalias scope for
each noalias parameter from which we're not derived (and has not been
captured prior to that point).
4. Add an alias.scope for each noalias parameter from which we might be
derived (or has been captured before that point).
Note that the capture checks apply only if one of the underlying objects is not
an identified function-local object.
llvm-svn: 213949
This commit adds scoped noalias metadata. The primary motivations for this
feature are:
1. To preserve noalias function attribute information when inlining
2. To provide the ability to model block-scope C99 restrict pointers
Neither of these two abilities are added here, only the necessary
infrastructure. In fact, there should be no change to existing functionality,
only the addition of new features. The logic that converts noalias function
parameters into this metadata during inlining will come in a follow-up commit.
What is added here is the ability to generally specify noalias memory-access
sets. Regarding the metadata, alias-analysis scopes are defined similar to TBAA
nodes:
!scope0 = metadata !{ metadata !"scope of foo()" }
!scope1 = metadata !{ metadata !"scope 1", metadata !scope0 }
!scope2 = metadata !{ metadata !"scope 2", metadata !scope0 }
!scope3 = metadata !{ metadata !"scope 2.1", metadata !scope2 }
!scope4 = metadata !{ metadata !"scope 2.2", metadata !scope2 }
Loads and stores can be tagged with an alias-analysis scope, and also, with a
noalias tag for a specific scope:
... = load %ptr1, !alias.scope !{ !scope1 }
... = load %ptr2, !alias.scope !{ !scope1, !scope2 }, !noalias !{ !scope1 }
When evaluating an aliasing query, if one of the instructions is associated
with an alias.scope id that is identical to the noalias scope associated with
the other instruction, or is a descendant (in the scope hierarchy) of the
noalias scope associated with the other instruction, then the two memory
accesses are assumed not to alias.
Note that is the first element of the scope metadata is a string, then it can
be combined accross functions and translation units. The string can be replaced
by a self-reference to create globally unqiue scope identifiers.
[Note: This overview is slightly stylized, since the metadata nodes really need
to just be numbers (!0 instead of !scope0), and the scope lists are also global
unnamed metadata.]
Existing noalias metadata in a callee is "cloned" for use by the inlined code.
This is necessary because the aliasing scopes are unique to each call site
(because of possible control dependencies on the aliasing properties). For
example, consider a function: foo(noalias a, noalias b) { *a = *b; } that gets
inlined into bar() { ... if (...) foo(a1, b1); ... if (...) foo(a2, b2); } --
now just because we know that a1 does not alias with b1 at the first call site,
and a2 does not alias with b2 at the second call site, we cannot let inlining
these functons have the metadata imply that a1 does not alias with b2.

This both improves basic debug info quality, but also fixes a larger

Instructions from __nodebug__ functions don't have file:line
information even when inlined into no-nodebug functions. As a result,

With this change, an instruction without !dbg metadata gets one from

This requires a number of steps.
1) Move value_use_iterator into the Value class as an implementation
detail
2) Change it to actually be a *Use* iterator rather than a *User*
iterator.
3) Add an adaptor which is a User iterator that always looks through the
Use to the User.
4) Wrap these in Value::use_iterator and Value::user_iterator typedefs.
5) Add the range adaptors as Value::uses() and Value::users().
6) Update *all* of the callers to correctly distinguish between whether
they wanted a use_iterator (and to explicitly dig out the User when
needed), or a user_iterator which makes the Use itself totally
opaque.
Because #6 requires churning essentially everything that walked the
Use-Def chains, I went ahead and added all of the range adaptors and
switched them to range-based loops where appropriate. Also because the
renaming requires at least churning every line of code, it didn't make
any sense to split these up into multiple commits -- all of which would
touch all of the same lies of code.
The result is still not quite optimal. The Value::use_iterator is a nice
regular iterator, but Value::user_iterator is an iterator over User*s
rather than over the User objects themselves. As a consequence, it fits
a bit awkwardly into the range-based world and it has the weird
extra-dereferencing 'operator->' that so many of our iterators have.
I think this could be fixed by providing something which transforms
a range of T&s into a range of T*s, but that *can* be separated into
another patch, and it isn't yet 100% clear whether this is the right
move.
However, this change gets us most of the benefit and cleans up
a substantial amount of code around Use and User. =]
