IRCE eliminates range checks of the form
0 <= A * I + B < Length
by splitting a loop's iteration space into three segments in a way
that the check is completely redundant in the middle segment. As an
example, IRCE will convert
len = < known positive >
for (i = 0; i < n; i++) {
if (0 <= i && i < len) {
do_something();
} else {
throw_out_of_bounds();
}
}
to
len = < known positive >
limit = smin(n, len)
// no first segment
for (i = 0; i < limit; i++) {
if (0 <= i && i < len) { // this check is fully redundant
do_something();
} else {
throw_out_of_bounds();
}
}
for (i = limit; i < n; i++) {
if (0 <= i && i < len) {
do_something();
} else {
throw_out_of_bounds();
}
}
IRCE can deal with multiple range checks in the same loop (it takes
the intersection of the ranges that will make each of them redundant
individually).
Currently IRCE does not do any profitability analysis. That is a
TODO.
Please note that the status of this pass is *experimental*, and it is
not part of any default pass pipeline. Having said that, I will love
to get feedback and general input from people interested in trying
this out.

Reapply r226071 with fixes. Two fixes:
1. We need to manually remove the old and create the new 'deaf defs'
associated with physical register definitions when we move the definition of
the physical register from the copy point to the point of the original vreg def.
This problem was picked up by the machinstr verifier, and could trigger a
verification failure on test/CodeGen/X86/2009-02-12-DebugInfoVLA.ll, so I've
turned on the verifier in the tests.
2. When moving the def point of the phys reg up, we need to make sure that it
is neither defined nor read in between the two instructions. We don't, however,
extend the live ranges of phys reg defs to cover uses, so just checking for
live-range overlap between the pair interval and the phys reg aliases won't
pick up reads. As a result, we manually iterate over the range and check for
reads.
A test soon to be committed to the PowerPC backend will test this change.
Original commit message:
[RegisterCoalescer] Remove copies to reserved registers
This allows the RegisterCoalescer to join "non-flipped" range pairs with a
physical destination register -- which allows the RegisterCoalescer to remove
copies like this:
<vreg> = something (maybe a load, for example)
... (things that don't use PHYSREG)
PHYSREG = COPY <vreg>
(with all of the restrictions normally applied by the RegisterCoalescer: having
compatible register classes, etc. )
Previously, the RegisterCoalescer handled only the opposite case (copying
*from* a physical register). I don't handle the problem fully here, but try to
get the common case where there is only one use of <vreg> (the COPY).
An upcoming commit to the PowerPC backend will make this pattern much more
common on PPC64/ELF systems.

The refactor was motivated by some comments that Greg made
http://reviews.llvm.org/D6918
and also to break a dependency cascade that caused functions linking
in string->int conversion functions to pull in most of lldb
llvm-svn: 226199
Use static functions for helpers rather than static member functions. a) this changes the linking (minor at best), and b) this makes it obvious no object state is involved.

This preparation for an update to http://reviews.llvm.org/D6811. GCStrategy.cpp will hopefully be moving into IR/, where as the lowering logic needs to stay in CodeGen/
llvm-svn: 226195
This removes some duplicated classes and definitions.
These instructions are defined:
_e32 // pseudo
_e32_si
_e64 // pseudo
_e64_si
_e64_vi
llvm-svn: 226191
v2: modify hasVALU32BitEncoding instead
v3: - add pseudoToMCOpcode helper to AMDGPUInstInfo, which is used by both
hasVALU32BitEncoding and AMDGPUMCInstLower::lower
- report an error if a pseudo can't be lowered

We are porting some of the checkers at a company we developed to the Clang Tidy
infrastructure. We would like to open source the checkers that may be useful
for the community as well. This patch is the first checker that is being ported
to Clang Tidy. We also added fix-it hints, and applied them to LLVM:
http://reviews.llvm.org/D6924
The code compiled and the unit tests are passed after the fixits was applied.
The documentation of the checker:
/// The emptiness of a container should be checked using the empty method
/// instead of the size method. It is not guaranteed that size is a
/// constant-time function, and it is generally more efficient and also shows
/// clearer intent to use empty. Furthermore some containers may implement the
/// empty method but not implement the size method. Using empty whenever
/// possible makes it easier to switch to another container in the future.
It also uses some custom ASTMatchers. In case you find them useful I can submit
them as separate patches to clang. I will apply your suggestions to this patch.

llvm-svn: 226172
Avoid using unions for storing the return value from
LLVMGetGlobalValueAddress() and LLVMGetFunctionAddress() and accessing it as
a pointer through another pointer member. This causes problems on 32-bit big
endian machines since the pointer gets the higher part of the return value of
the aforementioned functions.
llvm-svn: 226170
The new parser is a lot stricter about syntax, reports unrecognized
flags, and will make it easier to implemented some of the planned features.
llvm-svn: 226169
This patch was generated by a clang tidy checker that is being open sourced.
The documentation of that checker is the following:
/// The emptiness of a container should be checked using the empty method
/// instead of the size method. It is not guaranteed that size is a
/// constant-time function, and it is generally more efficient and also shows
/// clearer intent to use empty. Furthermore some containers may implement the
/// empty method but not implement the size method. Using empty whenever
/// possible makes it easier to switch to another container in the future.

TargetLibraryAnalysis pass.
There are actually no direct tests of this already in the tree. I've
added the most basic test that the pass manager bits themselves work,
and the TLI object produced will be tested by an upcoming patches as
they port passes which rely on TLI.
This is starting to point out the awkwardness of the invalidate API --
it seems poorly fitting on the *result* object. I suspect I will change
it to live on the analysis instead, but that's not for this change, and
I'd rather have a few more passes ported in order to have more
experience with how this plays out.
I believe there is only one more analysis required in order to start
porting instcombine. =]

object from the pass that provides access to it.
We should probably refactor the createTLI code here in Clang in light of
the new structure, but I wanted this patch to be a minimal one that just
patches the behavior back together.
llvm-svn: 226158
The pass is really just a means of accessing a cached instance of the
TargetLibraryInfo object, and this way we can re-use that object for the
new pass manager as its result.
Lots of delta, but nothing interesting happening here. This is the
common pattern that is developing to allow analyses to live in both the
old and new pass manager -- a wrapper pass in the old pass manager
emulates the separation intrinsic to the new pass manager between the
result and pass for analyses.
