correlated pairs of pointer arguments at the callsite. This is designed
to recognize the common C++ idiom of begin/end pointer pairs when the
end pointer is a constant offset from the begin pointer. With the
C-based idiom of a pointer and size, the inline cost saw the constant
size calculation, and this provides the same level of information for
begin/end pairs.
In order to propagate this information we have to search for candidate
operations on a pair of pointer function arguments (or derived from
them) which would be simplified if the pointers had a known constant
offset. Then the callsite analysis looks for such pointer pairs in the
argument list, and applies the appropriate bonus.
This helps LLVM detect that half of bounds-checked STL algorithms
(such as hash_combine_range, and some hybrid sort implementations)
disappear when inlined with a constant size input. However, it's not
a complete fix due the inaccuracy of our cost metric for constants in
general. I'm looking into that next.
Benchmarks showed no significant code size change, and very minor
performance changes. However, specific code such as hashing is showing
significantly cleaner inlining decisions.

Added some notes relative to case iterators.

We had two variations in two different places already, and I need the
third variation for inline cost estimation.

Implemented CaseIterator and it solves almost all described issues: we don't need to mix operand/case/successor indexing anymore. Base iterator class is implemented as a template since it may be initialized either from "const SwitchInst*" or from "SwitchInst*".
ConstCaseIt is just a read-only iterator.
CaseIt is read-write iterator; it allows to change case successor and case value.
Usage of iterator allows totally remove resolveXXXX methods. All indexing convertions done automatically inside the iterator's getters.
Main way of iterator usage looks like this:
SwitchInst *SI = ... // intialize it somehow
for (SwitchInst::CaseIt i = SI->caseBegin(), e = SI->caseEnd(); i != e; ++i) {
BasicBlock *BB = i.getCaseSuccessor();
ConstantInt *V = i.getCaseValue();
// Do something.
}
If you want to convert case number to TerminatorInst successor index, just use getSuccessorIndex iterator's method.
If you want initialize iterator from TerminatorInst successor index, use CaseIt::fromSuccessorIndex(...) method.
There are also related changes in llvm-clients: klee and clang.

to hash_combine. One of the interfaces could already do this, and the
other can just use a small buffer. This is a much more efficient way to
use the hash_combine interface, although I don't have any particular
benchmark where this code was hot, so I can't measure much of an impact.
It at least doesn't slow anything down.

"is sized". This prevents every query to isSized() from recursing over
every sub-type of a struct type. This could get *very* slow for
extremely deep nesting of structs, as in 177.mesa.
This change is a 45% speedup for 'opt -O2' of 177.mesa.linked.bc, and
likely a significant speedup for other cases as well. It even impacts
-O0 cases because so many part of the code try to check whether a type
is sized.
Thanks for the review from Nick Lewycky and Benjamin Kramer on IRC.

new hash_value infrastructure, and replace their implementations using
hash_combine. This removes a complete copy of Jenkin's lookup3 hash
function (which is both significantly slower and lower quality than the
one implemented in hash_combine) along with a somewhat scary xor-only
hash function.
Now that APInt and APFloat can be passed directly to hash_combine,
simplify the rest of the LLVMContextImpl hashing to use the new
infrastructure.

of the proposed standard hashing interfaces (N3333), and to use
a modified and tuned version of the CityHash algorithm.
Some of the highlights of this change:
-- Significantly higher quality hashing algorithm with very well
distributed results, and extremely few collisions. Should be close to
a checksum for up to 64-bit keys. Very little clustering or clumping of
hash codes, to better distribute load on probed hash tables.
-- Built-in support for reserved values.
-- Simplified API that composes cleanly with other C++ idioms and APIs.
-- Better scaling performance as keys grow. This is the fastest
algorithm I've found and measured for moderately sized keys (such as
show up in some of the uniquing and folding use cases)
-- Support for enabling per-execution seeds to prevent table ordering
or other artifacts of hashing algorithms to impact the output of
LLVM. The seeding would make each run different and highlight these
problems during bootstrap.
This implementation was tested extensively using the SMHasher test
suite, and pased with flying colors, doing better than the original
CityHash algorithm even.
I've included a unittest, although it is somewhat minimal at the moment.
I've also added (or refactored into the proper location) type traits
necessary to implement this, and converted users of GeneralHash over.
My only immediate concerns with this implementation is the performance
of hashing small keys. I've already started working to improve this, and
will continue to do so. Currently, the only algorithms faster produce
lower quality results, but it is likely there is a better compromise
than the current one.
Many thanks to Jeffrey Yasskin who did most of the work on the N3333

Module flags are key-value pairs associated with the module. They include a
'behavior' value, indicating how module flags react when mergine two
files. Normally, it's just the union of the two module flags. But if two module
flags have the same key, then the resulting flags are dictated by the behaviors.
Allowable behaviors are:
Error
Emits an error if two values disagree.
Warning
Emits a warning if two values disagree.
Require
Emits an error when the specified value is not present
or doesn't have the specified value. It is an error for
two (or more) llvm.module.flags with the same ID to have
the Require behavior but different values. There may be
multiple Require flags per ID.
Override
Uses the specified value if the two values disagree. It
is an error for two (or more) llvm.module.flags with the
same ID to have the Override behavior but different
values.

from strings into immediate stores: the previous code was stopping reading
string data at the first nul. Address this by adding a new argument to

The purpose of refactoring is to hide operand roles from SwitchInst user (programmer). If you want to play with operands directly, probably you will need lower level methods than SwitchInst ones (TerminatorInst or may be User). After this patch we can reorganize SwitchInst operands and successors as we want.
What was done:
1. Changed semantics of index inside the getCaseValue method:
getCaseValue(0) means "get first case", not a condition. Use getCondition() if you want to resolve the condition. I propose don't mix SwitchInst case indexing with low level indexing (TI successors indexing, User's operands indexing), since it may be dangerous.
2. By the same reason findCaseValue(ConstantInt*) returns actual number of case value. 0 means first case, not default. If there is no case with given value, ErrorIndex will returned.
3. Added getCaseSuccessor method. I propose to avoid usage of TerminatorInst::getSuccessor if you want to resolve case successor BB. Use getCaseSuccessor instead, since internal SwitchInst organization of operands/successors is hidden and may be changed in any moment.
4. Added resolveSuccessorIndex and resolveCaseIndex. The main purpose of these methods is to see how case successors are really mapped in TerminatorInst.
4.1 "resolveSuccessorIndex" was created if you need to level down from SwitchInst to TerminatorInst. It returns TerminatorInst's successor index for given case successor.
4.2 "resolveCaseIndex" converts low level successors index to case index that curresponds to the given successor.
Note: There are also related compatability fix patches for dragonegg, klee, llvm-gcc-4.0, llvm-gcc-4.2, safecode, clang.

The pass pointer should never be referenced after sending it to
schedulePass(), which may delete the pass. To fix this bug I had to
clean up the design leading to more goodness.
You may notice now that any non-analysis pass is printed. So things like loop-simplify and lcssa show up, while target lib, target data, alias analysis do not show up. Normally, analysis don't mutate the IR, but you can now check this by using both -print-after and -print-before. The effects of analysis will now show up in between the two.
The llc path is still in bad shape. But I'll be improving it in my next checkin. Meanwhile, print-machineinstrs still works the same way. With print-before/after, many llc passes that were not printed before now are, some of these should be converted to analysis. A few very important passes, isel and scheduler, are not properly initialized, so not printed.

kicking in the big win of ConstantDataArray. As part of this, change
the implementation of GetConstantStringInfo in ValueTracking to work
with ConstantDataArray (and not ConstantArray) making it dramatically,
amazingly, more efficient in the process and renaming it to
getConstantStringInfo.
This keeps around a GetConstantStringInfo entrypoint that (grossly)
forwards to getConstantStringInfo and constructs the std::string
required, but existing clients should move over to
getConstantStringInfo instead.
