This is a simple version without the possibility to define distribute
points or followup-transformations. However, it is the first
transformation that has to check whether the transformation is correct.
It interprets the same metadata as the LoopDistribute pass.
Re-apply after revert in c7bcd72a38 with
fix: Take isBand out of #ifndef NDEBUG since it now is used
unconditionally.
This is a simple version without the possibility to define distribute
points or followup-transformations. However, it is the first
transformation that has to check whether the transformation is correct.
It interprets the same metadata as the LoopDistribute pass.
This is part of an effort to reduce the differences between the custom C++ bindings used right now by polly in `lib/External/isl/include/isl/isl-noxceptions.h` and the official isl C++ interface.
Changes made:
- Removing explicit operator bool() from all the classes in the isl C++ bindings.
- Replace each call to operator bool() to method `is_null()`.
- isl-noexceptions.h has been generated by this 27396daac5

We previously had a different interpretation of unroll transformation
attributes than how LoopUnroll interpreted it. In particular,
llvm.loop.unroll.enable was needed explicitly to enable it and disabling
metadata was ignored.
Additionally, it required that either full unrolling or an unroll factor
to be specified or fail otherwise. An unroll factor is still required,
but the transformation is ignored with the hope that LoopUnroll is going
to apply the unrolling, since Polly currently does not implement an
heuristic.
Fixes llvm.org/PR50109
Make Polly look for unrolling metadata (https://llvm.org/docs/TransformMetadata.html#loop-unrolling) that is usually only interpreted by the LoopUnroll pass and apply it to the SCoP's schedule.
While not that useful by itself (there already is an unroll pass), it introduces mechanism to apply arbitrary loop transformation directives in arbitrary order to the schedule. Transformations are applied until no more directives are found. Since ISL's rescheduling would discard the manual transformations and it is assumed that when the user specifies the sequence of transformations, they do not want any other transformations to apply. Applying user-directed transformations can be controlled using the `-polly-pragma-based-opts` switch and is enabled by default.
This does not influence the SCoP detection heuristic. As a consequence, loop that do not fulfill SCoP requirements or the initial profitability heuristic will be ignored. `-polly-process-unprofitable` can be used to disable the latter.
Other than manually editing the IR, there is currently no way for the user to add loop transformations in an order other than the order in the default pipeline, or transformations other than the one supported by clang's LoopHint. See the `unroll_double.ll` test as example that clang currently is unable to emit. My own extension of `#pragma clang loop` allowing an arbitrary order and additional transformations is available here: https://github.com/meinersbur/llvm-project/tree/pragma-clang-loop. An effort to upstream this functionality as `#pragma clang transform` (because `#pragma clang loop` has an implicit transformation order defined by the loop pipeline) is D69088.
Additional transformations from my downstream pragma-clang-loop branch are tiling, interchange, reversal, unroll-and-jam, thread-parallelization and array packing. Unroll was chosen because it uses already-defined metadata and does not require correctness checks.
