a TargetMachine to construct (and thus isn't always available), to an
analysis group that supports layered implementations much like
AliasAnalysis does. This is a pretty massive change, with a few parts
that I was unable to easily separate (sorry), so I'll walk through it.
The first step of this conversion was to make TargetTransformInfo an
analysis group, and to sink the nonce implementations in
ScalarTargetTransformInfo and VectorTargetTranformInfo into
a NoTargetTransformInfo pass. This allows other passes to add a hard
requirement on TTI, and assume they will always get at least on
implementation.
The TargetTransformInfo analysis group leverages the delegation chaining
trick that AliasAnalysis uses, where the base class for the analysis
group delegates to the previous analysis *pass*, allowing all but tho
NoFoo analysis passes to only implement the parts of the interfaces they
support. It also introduces a new trick where each pass in the group
retains a pointer to the top-most pass that has been initialized. This
allows passes to implement one API in terms of another API and benefit
when some other pass above them in the stack has more precise results
for the second API.
The second step of this conversion is to create a pass that implements
the TargetTransformInfo analysis using the target-independent
abstractions in the code generator. This replaces the
ScalarTargetTransformImpl and VectorTargetTransformImpl classes in
lib/Target with a single pass in lib/CodeGen called
BasicTargetTransformInfo. This class actually provides most of the TTI
functionality, basing it upon the TargetLowering abstraction and other
information in the target independent code generator.
The third step of the conversion adds support to all TargetMachines to
register custom analysis passes. This allows building those passes with
access to TargetLowering or other target-specific classes, and it also
allows each target to customize the set of analysis passes desired in
the pass manager. The baseline LLVMTargetMachine implements this
interface to add the BasicTTI pass to the pass manager, and all of the
tools that want to support target-aware TTI passes call this routine on
whatever target machine they end up with to add the appropriate passes.
The fourth step of the conversion created target-specific TTI analysis
passes for the X86 and ARM backends. These passes contain the custom
logic that was previously in their extensions of the
ScalarTargetTransformInfo and VectorTargetTransformInfo interfaces.
I separated them into their own file, as now all of the interface bits
are private and they just expose a function to create the pass itself.
Then I extended these target machines to set up a custom set of analysis
passes, first adding BasicTTI as a fallback, and then adding their
customized TTI implementations.
The fourth step required logic that was shared between the target
independent layer and the specific targets to move to a different
interface, as they no longer derive from each other. As a consequence,
a helper functions were added to TargetLowering representing the common
logic needed both in the target implementation and the codegen
implementation of the TTI pass. While technically this is the only
change that could have been committed separately, it would have been
a nightmare to extract.
The final step of the conversion was just to delete all the old
boilerplate. This got rid of the ScalarTargetTransformInfo and
VectorTargetTransformInfo classes, all of the support in all of the
targets for producing instances of them, and all of the support in the
tools for manually constructing a pass based around them.
Now that TTI is a relatively normal analysis group, two things become
straightforward. First, we can sink it into lib/Analysis which is a more
natural layer for it to live. Second, clients of this interface can
depend on it *always* being available which will simplify their code and
behavior. These (and other) simplifications will follow in subsequent
commits, this one is clearly big enough.
Finally, I'm very aware that much of the comments and documentation
needs to be updated. As soon as I had this working, and plausibly well
commented, I wanted to get it committed and in front of the build bots.
I'll be doing a few passes over documentation later if it sticks.
Commits to update DragonEgg and Clang will be made presently.

interfaces which could be extracted from it, and must be provided on
construction, to a chained analysis group.
The end goal here is that TTI works much like AA -- there is a baseline
"no-op" and target independent pass which is in the group, and each
target can expose a target-specific pass in the group. These passes will
naturally chain allowing each target-specific pass to delegate to the
generic pass as needed.
In particular, this will allow a much simpler interface for passes that
would like to use TTI -- they can have a hard dependency on TTI and it
will just be satisfied by the stub implementation when that is all that
is available.
This patch is a WIP however. In particular, the "stub" pass is actually
the one and only pass, and everything there is implemented by delegating
to the target-provided interfaces. As a consequence the tools still have
to explicitly construct the pass. Switching targets to provide custom
passes and sinking the stub behavior into the NoTTI pass is the next
step.

values -- that's not required to fix the bug that was cropping up, and
the values selected made the enumeration's underlying type signed and
introduced some warnings. This fixes the -Werror build.
The underlying issue here was that the DenseMapInfo was casting values
completely outside the range of the underlying storage of the
enumeration to the enumeration's type. GCC went and "optimized" that
into infloops and other misbehavior. By providing designated special
values for these keys in the dense map, we ensure they are indeed
representable and that they won't be used for anything else.
It might be better to reuse None for the empty key and have the
tombstone share the value of the sentinel enumerator, but honestly
having 2 extra enumerators seemed not to matter and this seems a bit
simpler. I'll let Bill shuffle this around (or ask me to shuffle it
around) if he prefers it to look a different way.
I also made the switch a bit more clear (and produce a better assert)
that the enumerators are *never* going to show up and are errors if they
do.

The Attribute class is eventually going to represent one attribute. So we need
this class to create the set of attributes. Add some iterator methods to the
builder to access its internal bits in a nice way.
llvm-svn: 171586
The bit mask thing will be a thing of the past. It's not extensible enough. Get
rid of its use here. Opt instead for using a vector to hold the attributes.
Note: Some of this code will become obsolete once the rewrite is further along.

* Remove dead methods.
* Use the 'operator==' method instead of 'contains', which isn't needed.
* Fix some comments.
No functionality change.

U include/llvm/IR/Attributes.h
U lib/IR/Attributes.cpp

llvm-svn: 171448
The 'operator==' method is a bit clearer and much less verbose for somethings
that should have only one value. Remove from the AttrBuilder for consistency.
llvm-svn: 171442
Modify the AttrBuilder class to store the attributes as a set instead of as a
bit mask. The Attribute class will represent only one attribute instead of a
collection of attributes.
This is the wave of the future!

code that includes Intrinsics.gen directly.
This never showed up in my testing because the old Intrinsics.gen was
still kicking around in the make build system and was correct there. =[
Thankfully, some of the bots to clean rebuilds and that caught this.

into their new header subdirectory: include/llvm/IR. This matches the
directory structure of lib, and begins to correct a long standing point
of file layout clutter in LLVM.
There are still more header files to move here, but I wanted to handle
them in separate commits to make tracking what files make sense at each
layer easier.
The only really questionable files here are the target intrinsic
tablegen files. But that's a battle I'd rather not fight today.
I've updated both CMake and Makefile build systems (I think, and my
tests think, but I may have missed something).
I've also re-sorted the includes throughout the project. I'll be
committing updates to Clang, DragonEgg, and Polly momentarily.
llvm-svn: 171366
Aside from moving the actual files, this patch only updates the build
system and the source file comments under lib/... that are relevant.
I'll be updating other docs and other files in smaller subsequnet
commits.
While I've tried to test this, but it is entirely possible that there
will still be some build system fallout.
Also, note that I've not changed the library name itself: libLLVMCore.a
is still the library name. I'd be interested in others' opinions about
whether we should rename this as well (I think we should, just not sure
what it might break)
