These intrinsics currently have an explicit alignment argument which is
required to be a constant integer. It represents the alignment of the
source and dest, and so must be the minimum of those.
This change allows source and dest to each have their own alignments
by using the alignment attribute on their arguments. The alignment
argument itself is removed.
There are a few places in the code for which the code needs to be
checked by an expert as to whether using only src/dest alignment is
safe. For those places, they currently take the minimum of src/dest
alignments which matches the current behaviour.
For example, code which used to read:
call void @llvm.memcpy.p0i8.p0i8.i32(i8* %dest, i8* %src, i32 500, i32 8, i1 false)
will now read:
call void @llvm.memcpy.p0i8.p0i8.i32(i8* align 8 %dest, i8* align 8 %src, i32 500, i1 false)
For out of tree owners, I was able to strip alignment from calls using sed by replacing:
(call.*llvm\.memset.*)i32\ [0-9]*\,\ i1 false\)
with:
$1i1 false)
and similarly for memmove and memcpy.
I then added back in alignment to test cases which needed it.
A similar commit will be made to clang which actually has many differences in alignment as now
IRBuilder can generate different source/dest alignments on calls.
In IRBuilder itself, a new argument was added. Instead of calling:
CreateMemCpy(Dst, Src, getInt64(Size), DstAlign, /* isVolatile */ false)
you now call
CreateMemCpy(Dst, Src, getInt64(Size), DstAlign, SrcAlign, /* isVolatile */ false)
There is a temporary class (IntegerAlignment) which takes the source alignment and rejects
implicit conversion from bool. This is to prevent isVolatile here from passing its default
parameter to the source alignment.
Note, changes in future can now be made to codegen. I didn't change anything here, but this
change should enable better memcpy code sequences.

In effect a partial revert of r237858, which was a dumb shortcut.
Looking at the dependencies of the destination should be the proper
fix: if the new memset would depend on anything other than itself,
the transformation isn't correct.
llvm-svn: 237874
Fixes PR23599, another miscompile introduced by r235232: when there is
another dependency on the destination of the created memset (i.e., the
part of the original destination that the memcpy doesn't depend on)
between the memcpy and the original memset, we would insert the created
memset after the memcpy, and thus after the other dependency.
Instead, insert the created memset right after the old one.
llvm-svn: 237858
This fixes another miscompile introduced by r235232: when there was a
dependency on the memcpy destination other than the memset, we would
ignore it, because we only looked at the source dependency.
It was a mistake to use SrcDepInfo. Instead, just use DepInfo.
llvm-svn: 237066
MemIntrinsic::getDest() looks through pointer casts, and using it
directly when building the new GEP+memset results in stuff like:
%0 = getelementptr i64* %p, i32 16
%1 = bitcast i64* %0 to i8*
call ..memset(i8* %1, ...)
instead of the correct:
%0 = bitcast i64* %p to i8*
%1 = getelementptr i8* %0, i32 16
call ..memset(i8* %1, ...)
Instead, use getRawDest, which just gives you the i8* value.
While there, use the memcpy's dest, as it's live anyway.
In most cases, when the optimization triggers, the memset and memcpy
sizes are the same, so the built memset is 0-sized and eliminated.
The problem occurs when they're different.
Fixes a regression caused by r235232: PR23300.

Harden r235258 to support any integer bitwidth. The quick glance at
the reference made me think only i32 and i64 were valid types, but
they're not special, so any overload is legal.
Thanks to David Majnemer for noticing!
llvm-svn: 235261
Followup to r235232, which caused PR23278.
We can't assume the memset and memcpy sizes have the same type, as
nothing in the language reference prevents that.
Instead, zext both to i64 if they disagree.
While there, robustify tests by using i8 %c rather than i8 0 for the
memset character.
llvm-svn: 235258
A common idiom in some code is to do the following:
memset(dst, 0, dst_size);
memcpy(dst, src, src_size);
Some of the memset is redundant; instead, we can do:
memcpy(dst, src, src_size);
memset(dst + src_size, 0,
dst_size <= src_size ? 0 : dst_size - src_size);
