These flags are now always passed to all tests and need to be disabled if
not needed. Disabling these flags, rather than passing them to almost all
tests, significantly simplfies our RUN: lines.

Besides class, function and file names, we also change the command line option
from -polly-codegen-isl to just -polly-codegen. The isl postfix is a leftover
from the times when we still had the CLooG based -polly-codegen. Today it is
just redundant and we drop it.

Scops that only read seem generally uninteresting and scops that only write are
most likely initializations where there is also little to optimize. To not
waste compile time we bail early.

The isl based backend has been tested since a long time and with the recently
commited OpenMP support the last missing piece of functionality was ported from
the CLooG backend.
The isl based backend gives us interesting new functionality:
- Run-time alias checks (enabled by default)
Optimize scops that contain possibly aliasing pointers. This feature has
largely increased the number of loop nests we consider for optimization.
Thanks Johannes!
- Delinearization (not yet enabled by default)
Model accesses to multi-dimensional arrays precisely. This will allow us to
understand kernels with multi-dimensional VLAs written in Julia, boost::ublas,
coremark or C99.
Thanks Sebastian!
- Generation of higher quality code
Sven and me spent a long time to optimize the quality of the generated code. A
major focus were expressions as they result from modulos/divisions or
piecewise affine expressions (a ? b : c).
- Full/Partial tile separation, polyhedral unrolling
The isl code generation provides functionality to generate specialized code
for core and cleanup loops and to specialize code using polyhedral context
information while unrolling statements.
(not yet exploited in Polly)
- Modifieable access functions
We can now use standard isl functionality to remap memory accesses to new
data locations. A standard use case is the use of shared memory, where
accesses to a larger region in global memory need to be mapped to a smaller
shared memory region using a modulo mapping.
(not yet exploited in Polly)
The cloog based code generation is still available for comparision, but is
scheduled for removal.
llvm-svn: 222101
This change will build all alias groups (minimal/maximal accesses
to possible aliasing base pointers) we have to check before
we can assume an alias free environment. It will also use these
to create Runtime Alias Checks (RTC) in the ISL code generation
backend, thus allow us to optimize SCoPs despite possibly aliasing
pointers when this backend is used.
This feature will be enabled for the isl code generator, e.g.,
--polly-code-generator=isl, but disabled for:
- The cloog code generator (still the default).
- The case delinearization is enabled.
- The case non-affine accesses are allowed.

The updated tests use a different context than the old ones did.
Other than that only their path and the code generation we use
changed.
