If a (assumed) invariant location is loaded multiple times we
generated a parameter for each location. However, this caused compile
time problems for several benchmarks (e.g., 445_gobmk in SPEC2006 and
BT in the NAS benchmarks). Additionally, the code we generate is
suboptimal as we preload the same location multiple times and perform
the same checks on all the parameters that refere to the same value.
With this patch we consolidate the invariant loads in three steps:
1) During SCoP initialization required invariant loads are put in
equivalence classes based on their pointer operand. One
representing load is used to generate a parameter for the whole
class, thus we never generate multiple parameters for the same
location.
2) During the SCoP simplification we remove invariant memory
accesses that are in the same equivalence class. While doing so
we build the union of all execution domains as it is only
important that the location is at least accessed once.
3) During code generation we only preload one element of each
equivalence class with the unified execution domain. All others
are mapped to that preloaded value.
