This patch removes the heuristic in
- Polly :: lib/Support/ScopHelper.cpp
The heuristic forces blocks that directly follow a loop header to not to be considered error blocks.
It was introduced in r249611 with the following commit message:
> This replaces the support for user defined error functions by a
> heuristic that tries to determine if a call to a non-pure function
> should be considered "an error". If so the block is assumed not to be
> executed at runtime. While treating all non-pure function calls as
> errors will allow a lot more regions to be analyzed, it will also
> cause us to dismiss a lot again due to an infeasible runtime context.
> This patch tries to limit that effect. A non-pure function call is
> considered an error if it is executed only in conditionally with
> regards to a cheap but simple heuristic.
In the code below `CCK_Abort2()` would be considered as an error block, but not `CCK_Abort1()` due to this heuristic.
```
for (int i = 0; i < n; i+=1) {
if (ErrorCondition1)
CCK_Abort1(); // No __attribute__((noreturn))
if (ErrorCondition2)
CCK_Abort2(); // No __attribute__((noreturn))
}
```
This does not seem useful. Checking error conditions in the beginning of some work is quite common. It causes a switch default-case to be not considered an error block in SPEC's cactuBSSN. The comment justifying the heuristic mentions a "load", which does not seem to be applicable here. It has been proposed to remove the heuristic.
In addition, the patch fixes the following test cases:
- Polly :: ScopDetect/mod_ref_read_pointer.ll
- Polly :: ScopInfo/max-loop-depth.ll
- Polly :: ScopInfo/mod_ref_access_pointee_arguments.ll
- Polly :: ScopInfo/mod_ref_read_pointee_arguments.ll
- Polly :: ScopInfo/mod_ref_read_pointer.ll
- Polly :: ScopInfo/mod_ref_read_pointers.ll
The test cases failed after removing the heuristic.

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.

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 max loop depth was incorrectly computed for scops that contain a
block from a loop but do not contain the entire loop. We need to
check that the full loop is contained in the region when computing
the max loop depth.
These scops occur when a region containing an inner loop is expanded
to include some blocks from the outer loop, but it cannot be fully
expanded to contain the outer loop because the region containing the
outer loop is invalid.
