I did this a long time ago with a janky python script, but now
clang-format has built-in support for this. I fed clang-format every
line with a #include and let it re-sort things according to the precise
LLVM rules for include ordering baked into clang-format these days.
I've reverted a number of files where the results of sorting includes
isn't healthy. Either places where we have legacy code relying on
particular include ordering (where possible, I'll fix these separately)
or where we have particular formatting around #include lines that
I didn't want to disturb in this patch.
This patch is *entirely* mechanical. If you get merge conflicts or
anything, just ignore the changes in this patch and run clang-format
over your #include lines in the files.
Sorry for any noise here, but it is important to keep these things
stable. I was seeing an increasing number of patches with irrelevant
re-ordering of #include lines because clang-format was used. This patch
at least isolates that churn, makes it easy to skip when resolving
conflicts, and gets us to a clean baseline (again).

Summary:
This seems like an uncontroversial first step toward providing access to the metadata hierarchy that now exists in LLVM. This should allow for good debug info support from C.
Future plans are to deprecate API that take mixed bags of values and metadata (mainly the LLVMMDNode family of functions) and migrate the rest toward the use of LLVMMetadataRef.
Once this is in place, mapping of DIBuilder will be able to start.

The first variant contains all current transformations except
transforming switches into lookup tables. The second variant
contains all current transformations.
The switch-to-lookup-table conversion results in code that is more
difficult to analyze and optimize by other passes. Most importantly,
it can inhibit Dead Code Elimination. As such it is often beneficial to
only apply this transformation very late. A common example is inlining,
which can often result in range restrictions for the switch expression.

The code have been developed by Daniel Berlin over the years, and
the new implementation goal is that of addressing shortcomings of
the current GVN infrastructure, i.e. long compile time for large
testcases, lack of phi predication, no load/store value numbering
etc...
The current code just implements the "core" GVN algorithm, although
other pieces (load coercion, phi handling, predicate system) are
already implemented in a branch out of tree. Once the core is stable,
we'll start adding pieces on top of the base framework.
The test currently living in test/Transform/NewGVN are a copy
of the ones in GVN, with proper `XFAIL` (missing features in NewGVN).
A flag will be added in a future commit to enable NewGVN, so that

It turns out that terminatepad gives little benefit over a cleanuppad

While we have successfully implemented a funclet-oriented EH scheme on
top of LLVM IR, our scheme has some notable deficiencies:
- catchendpad and cleanupendpad are necessary in the current design
but they are difficult to explain to others, even to seasoned LLVM
experts.
- catchendpad and cleanupendpad are optimization barriers. They cannot
be split and force all potentially throwing call-sites to be invokes.
This has a noticable effect on the quality of our code generation.
- catchpad, while similar in some aspects to invoke, is fairly awkward.
It is unsplittable, starts a funclet, and has control flow to other
funclets.
- The nesting relationship between funclets is currently a property of
control flow edges. Because of this, we are forced to carefully
analyze the flow graph to see if there might potentially exist illegal
nesting among funclets. While we have logic to clone funclets when
they are illegally nested, it would be nicer if we had a
representation which forbade them upfront.
Let's clean this up a bit by doing the following:
- Instead, make catchpad more like cleanuppad and landingpad: no control
flow, just a bunch of simple operands; catchpad would be splittable.
- Introduce catchswitch, a control flow instruction designed to model
the constraints of funclet oriented EH.
- Make funclet scoping explicit by having funclet instructions consume
the token produced by the funclet which contains them.
- Remove catchendpad and cleanupendpad. Their presence can be inferred
implicitly using coloring information.
N.B. The state numbering code for the CLR has been updated but the
veracity of it's output cannot be spoken for. An expert should take a
look to make sure the results are reasonable.

When working with tokens, it is often the case that one has instructions
which consume a token and produce a new token. Currently, we have no
mechanism to represent an initial token state.
Instead, we can create a notional "empty token" by inventing a new
constant which captures the semantics we would like. This new constant
is called ConstantTokenNone and is written textually as "token none".

Bypassing LLVM for this has a number of benefits:
1) Laziness support becomes asm-syntax agnostic (previously lazy jitting didn't
work on Windows as the resolver block was in Darwin asm).
2) For cross-process JITs, it allows resolver blocks and trampolines to be
emitted directly in the target process, reducing cross process traffic.
3) It should be marginally faster.
llvm-svn: 251933
Summary:
Add a `cleanupendpad` instruction, used to mark exceptional exits out of
cleanups (for languages/targets that can abort a cleanup with another
exception). The `cleanupendpad` instruction is similar to the `catchendpad`
instruction in that it is an EH pad which is the target of unwind edges in
the handler and which itself has an unwind edge to the next EH action.
The `cleanupendpad` instruction, similar to `cleanupret` has a `cleanuppad`
argument indicating which cleanup it exits. The unwind successors of a
`cleanuppad`'s `cleanupendpad`s must agree with each other and with its
`cleanupret`s.
Update WinEHPrepare (and docs/tests) to accomodate `cleanupendpad`.

This introduces the basic functionality to support "token types".
The motivation stems from the need to perform operations on a Value
whose provenance cannot be obscured.
There are several applications for such a type but my immediate
motivation stems from WinEH. Our personality routine enforces a
single-entry - single-exit regime for cleanups. After several rounds of
optimizations, we may be left with a terminator whose "cleanup-entry
block" is not entirely clear because control flow has merged two
cleanups together. We have experimented with using labels as operands
inside of instructions which are not terminators to indicate where we
came from but found that LLVM does not expect such exotic uses of
BasicBlocks.
Instead, we can use this new type to clearly associate the "entry point"
and "exit point" of our cleanup. This is done by having the cleanuppad
yield a Token and consuming it at the cleanupret.
The token type makes it impossible to obscure or otherwise hide the
Value, making it trivial to track the relationship between the two
points.
What is the burden to the optimizer? Well, it turns out we have already
paid down this cost by accepting that there are certain calls that we
are not permitted to duplicate, optimizations have to watch out for
such instructions anyway. There are additional places in the optimizer
that we will probably have to update but early examination has given me
the impression that this will not be heroic.

Originally added in r139314.
Back then it didn't actually get the address, it got whatever value the
relocation used: address or offset.
The values in different object formats are:
* MachO: Always an offset.
* COFF: Always an address, but when talking about the virtual address of
sections it says: "for simplicity, compilers should set this to zero".
* ELF: An offset for .o files and and address for .so files. In the case of the
.so, the relocation in not linked to any section (sh_info is 0). We can't
really compute an offset.
Some API mappings would be:
* Use getAddress for everything. It would be quite cumbersome. To compute the
address elf has to follow sh_info, which can be corrupted and therefore the
method has to return an ErrorOr. The address of the section is also the same
for every relocation in a section, so we shouldn't have to check the error
and fetch the value for every relocation.
* Use a getValue and make it up to the user to know what it is getting.
* Use a getOffset and:
* Assert for dynamic ELF objects. That is a very peculiar case and it is
probably fair to ask any tool that wants to support it to use ELF.h. The
only tool we have that reads those (llvm-readobj) already does that. The
only other use case I can think of is a dynamic linker.
* Check that COFF .obj files have sections with zero virtual address spaces. If
it turns out that some assembler/compiler produces these, we can change
COFFObjectFile::getRelocationOffset to subtract it. Given COFF format,
this can be done without the need for ErrorOr.
The getRelocationAddress method was never implemented for COFF. It also
had exactly one use in a very peculiar case: a shortcut for adding the
section value to a pcrel reloc on MachO.
Given that, I don't expect that there is any use out there of the C API. If
that is not the case, let me know and I will add it back with the implementation
inlined and do a proper deprecation.

Specifically, remove the dependent library interface and replace the existing
linker option interface with a new one that returns a single list of flags.
Differential Revision: http://reviews.llvm.org/D10820
llvm-svn: 241018
This change unifies how LTOModule and the backend obtain linker flags
for globals: via a new TargetLoweringObjectFile member function named
emitLinkerFlagsForGlobal. A new function LTOModule::getLinkerOpts() returns
the list of linker flags as a single concatenated string.
This change affects the C libLTO API: the function lto_module_get_*deplibs now
exposes an empty list, and lto_module_get_*linkeropts exposes a single element
which combines the contents of all observed flags. libLTO should never have
tried to parse the linker flags; it is the linker's job to do so. Because
linkers will need to be able to parse flags in regular object files, it
makes little sense for libLTO to have a redundant mechanism for doing so.
The new API is compatible with the old one. It is valid for a user to specify
multiple linker flags in a single pragma directive like this:
#pragma comment(linker, "/defaultlib:foo /defaultlib:bar")
The previous implementation would not have exposed
either flag via lto_module_get_*deplibs (as the test in
TargetLoweringObjectFileCOFF::getDepLibFromLinkerOpt was case sensitive)
and would have exposed "/defaultlib:foo /defaultlib:bar" as a single flag via
lto_module_get_*linkeropts. This may have been a bug in the implementation,
but it does give us a chance to fix the interface.

Reverse libLTO's default behaviour for preserving use-list order in
bitcode, and add API for controlling it. The default setting is now
`false` (don't preserve them), which is consistent with `clang`'s
default behaviour.
Users of libLTO should call `lto_codegen_should_embed_uselists(CG,true)`
prior to calling `lto_codegen_write_merged_modules()` whenever the
output file isn't part of the production workflow in order to reproduce
results with subsequent calls to `llc`.
(I haven't added tests since `llvm-lto` (the test tool for LTO) doesn't
support bitcode output, and even if it did: there isn't actually a good
way to test whether a tool has passed the flag. If the order is already
"natural" (if the order will already round-trip) then no use-list
directives are emitted at all. At some point I'll circle back to add
tests to `llvm-as` (etc.) that they actually respect the flag, at which
point I can somehow add a test here as well.)

Summary:
If a pointer is marked as dereferenceable_or_null(N), LLVM assumes it
is either `null` or `dereferenceable(N)` or both. This change only
introduces the attribute and adds a token test case for the `llvm-as`
/ `llvm-dis`. It does not hook up other parts of the optimizer to
actually exploit the attribute -- those changes will come later.
For pointers in address space 0, `dereferenceable(N)` is now exactly
equivalent to `dereferenceable_or_null(N)` && `nonnull`. For other
address spaces, `dereferenceable(N)` is potentially weaker than
`dereferenceable_or_null(N)` && `nonnull` (since we could have a null
`dereferenceable(N)` pointer).
The motivating case for this change is Java (and other managed
languages), where pointers are either `null` or dereferenceable up to
some usually known-at-compile-time constant offset.

BDCE is a bit-tracking dead code elimination pass. It is based on ADCE (the
"aggressive DCE" pass), with the added capability to track dead bits of integer
valued instructions and remove those instructions when all of the bits are
dead.
Currently, it does not actually do this all-bits-dead removal, but rather
replaces the instruction's uses with a constant zero, and lets instcombine (and
the later run of ADCE) do the rest. Because we essentially get a run of ADCE
"for free" while tracking the dead bits, we also do what ADCE does and removes
actually-dead instructions as well (this includes instructions newly trivially
dead because all bits were dead, but not all such instructions can be removed).
The motivation for this is a case like:
int __attribute__((const)) foo(int i);

As it turns out, if you order the bit-field insertions so that all of the dead
ones come last, then instcombine will remove them. However, if you pick some
other order (such as the one above), the fact that some of the calls to foo()
are useless is not locally obvious, and we don't remove them (without this
pass).
I did a quick compile-time overhead check using sqlite from the test suite

twice as expensive as ADCE).

Before this commit, we can only dump the optimized bitcode after running
lto_codegen_compile, but it includes some impacts of running codegen passes,
one example is StackProtector pass. We will get assertion failure when running
llc on the optimized bitcode, because StackProtector is effectively run twice.
After splitting lto_codegen_compile, the linker can choose to dump the bitcode
before running lto_codegen_compile_optimized.
lto_api_version is added so ld64 can check for runtime-availability of the new

Split `Metadata` away from the `Value` class hierarchy, as part of
PR21532. Assembly and bitcode changes are in the wings, but this is the
bulk of the change for the IR C++ API.
I have a follow-up patch prepared for `clang`. If this breaks other
sub-projects, I apologize in advance :(. Help me compile it on Darwin
I'll try to fix it. FWIW, the errors should be easy to fix, so it may
be simpler to just fix it yourself.
This breaks the build for all metadata-related code that's out-of-tree.
Rest assured the transition is mechanical and the compiler should catch
almost all of the problems.
Here's a quick guide for updating your code:
- `Metadata` is the root of a class hierarchy with three main classes:
`MDNode`, `MDString`, and `ValueAsMetadata`. It is distinct from
the `Value` class hierarchy. It is typeless -- i.e., instances do
*not* have a `Type`.
- `MDNode`'s operands are all `Metadata *` (instead of `Value *`).
- `TrackingVH<MDNode>` and `WeakVH` referring to metadata can be
replaced with `TrackingMDNodeRef` and `TrackingMDRef`, respectively.
If you're referring solely to resolved `MDNode`s -- post graph
construction -- just use `MDNode*`.
- `MDNode` (and the rest of `Metadata`) have only limited support for
`replaceAllUsesWith()`.
As long as an `MDNode` is pointing at a forward declaration -- the
result of `MDNode::getTemporary()` -- it maintains a side map of its
uses and can RAUW itself. Once the forward declarations are fully
resolved RAUW support is dropped on the ground. This means that
uniquing collisions on changing operands cause nodes to become
"distinct". (This already happened fairly commonly, whenever an
operand went to null.)
If you're constructing complex (non self-reference) `MDNode` cycles,
you need to call `MDNode::resolveCycles()` on each node (or on a
top-level node that somehow references all of the nodes). Also,
don't do that. Metadata cycles (and the RAUW machinery needed to
construct them) are expensive.
- An `MDNode` can only refer to a `Constant` through a bridge called
`ConstantAsMetadata` (one of the subclasses of `ValueAsMetadata`).
As a side effect, accessing an operand of an `MDNode` that is known
to be, e.g., `ConstantInt`, takes three steps: first, cast from
`Metadata` to `ConstantAsMetadata`; second, extract the `Constant`;
third, cast down to `ConstantInt`.
The eventual goal is to introduce `MDInt`/`MDFloat`/etc. and have
metadata schema owners transition away from using `Constant`s when
the type isn't important (and they don't care about referring to
`GlobalValue`s).
In the meantime, I've added transitional API to the `mdconst`
namespace that matches semantics with the old code, in order to
avoid adding the error-prone three-step equivalent to every call
site. If your old code was:
MDNode *N = foo();
bar(isa <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(0)));
baz(cast <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(1)));
bak(cast_or_null <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(2)));
bat(dyn_cast <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(3)));
bay(dyn_cast_or_null<ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(4)));
you can trivially match its semantics with:
MDNode *N = foo();
bar(mdconst::hasa <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(0)));
baz(mdconst::extract <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(1)));
bak(mdconst::extract_or_null <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(2)));
bat(mdconst::dyn_extract <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(3)));
bay(mdconst::dyn_extract_or_null<ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(4)));
and when you transition your metadata schema to `MDInt`:
MDNode *N = foo();
bar(isa <MDInt>(N->getOperand(0)));
baz(cast <MDInt>(N->getOperand(1)));
bak(cast_or_null <MDInt>(N->getOperand(2)));
bat(dyn_cast <MDInt>(N->getOperand(3)));
bay(dyn_cast_or_null<MDInt>(N->getOperand(4)));
- A `CallInst` -- specifically, intrinsic instructions -- can refer to
metadata through a bridge called `MetadataAsValue`. This is a
subclass of `Value` where `getType()->isMetadataTy()`.
`MetadataAsValue` is the *only* class that can legally refer to a
`LocalAsMetadata`, which is a bridged form of non-`Constant` values
like `Argument` and `Instruction`. It can also refer to any other
`Metadata` subclass.
(I'll break all your testcases in a follow-up commit, when I propagate
this change to assembly.)

Add API for specifying which `LLVMContext` each `lto_module_t` and
`lto_code_gen_t` is in.
In particular, this enables the following flow:
for (auto &File : Files) {
lto_module_t M = lto_module_create_in_local_context(File...);
querySymbols(M);
lto_module_dispose(M);
}
lto_code_gen_t CG = lto_codegen_create_in_local_context();
for (auto &File : FilesToLink) {
lto_module_t M = lto_module_create_in_codegen_context(File..., CG);
lto_codegen_add_module(CG, M);
lto_module_dispose(M);
}
lto_codegen_compile(CG);
lto_codegen_write_merged_modules(CG, ...);
lto_codegen_dispose(CG);
This flow has a few benefits.
- Only one module (two if you count the combined module in the code
generator) is in memory at a time.
- Metadata (and constants) from files that are parsed to query symbols
but not linked into the code generator don't pollute the global
context.
- The first for loop can be parallelized, since each module is in its
own context.
- When the code generator is disposed, the memory from LTO gets freed.

llvm-svn: 221733
This adds a ScalarEvolution-powered transformation that updates load, store and
memory intrinsic pointer alignments based on invariant((a+q) & b == 0)
expressions. Many of the simple cases we can get with ValueTracking, but we
still need something like this for the more complicated cases (such as those
with an offset) that require some algebra. Note that gcc's
__builtin_assume_aligned's optional third argument provides exactly for this
kind of 'misalignment' offset for which this kind of logic is necessary.
The primary motivation is to fixup alignments for vector loads/stores after
vectorization (and unrolling). This pass is added to the optimization pipeline
just after the SLP vectorizer runs (which, admittedly, does not preserve SE,
although I imagine it could). Regardless, I actually don't think that the
preservation matters too much in this case: SE computes lazily, and this pass
won't issue any SE queries unless there are any assume intrinsics, so there
should be no real additional cost in the common case (SLP does preserve DT and
LoopInfo).

This commit adds scoped noalias metadata. The primary motivations for this
feature are:
1. To preserve noalias function attribute information when inlining
2. To provide the ability to model block-scope C99 restrict pointers
Neither of these two abilities are added here, only the necessary
infrastructure. In fact, there should be no change to existing functionality,
only the addition of new features. The logic that converts noalias function
parameters into this metadata during inlining will come in a follow-up commit.
What is added here is the ability to generally specify noalias memory-access
sets. Regarding the metadata, alias-analysis scopes are defined similar to TBAA
nodes:
!scope0 = metadata !{ metadata !"scope of foo()" }
!scope1 = metadata !{ metadata !"scope 1", metadata !scope0 }
!scope2 = metadata !{ metadata !"scope 2", metadata !scope0 }
!scope3 = metadata !{ metadata !"scope 2.1", metadata !scope2 }
!scope4 = metadata !{ metadata !"scope 2.2", metadata !scope2 }
Loads and stores can be tagged with an alias-analysis scope, and also, with a
noalias tag for a specific scope:
... = load %ptr1, !alias.scope !{ !scope1 }
... = load %ptr2, !alias.scope !{ !scope1, !scope2 }, !noalias !{ !scope1 }
When evaluating an aliasing query, if one of the instructions is associated
with an alias.scope id that is identical to the noalias scope associated with
the other instruction, or is a descendant (in the scope hierarchy) of the
noalias scope associated with the other instruction, then the two memory
accesses are assumed not to alias.
Note that is the first element of the scope metadata is a string, then it can
be combined accross functions and translation units. The string can be replaced
by a self-reference to create globally unqiue scope identifiers.
[Note: This overview is slightly stylized, since the metadata nodes really need
to just be numbers (!0 instead of !scope0), and the scope lists are also global
unnamed metadata.]
Existing noalias metadata in a callee is "cloned" for use by the inlined code.
This is necessary because the aliasing scopes are unique to each call site
(because of possible control dependencies on the aliasing properties). For
example, consider a function: foo(noalias a, noalias b) { *a = *b; } that gets
inlined into bar() { ... if (...) foo(a1, b1); ... if (...) foo(a2, b2); } --
now just because we know that a1 does not alias with b1 at the first call site,
and a2 does not alias with b2 at the second call site, we cannot let inlining
these functons have the metadata imply that a1 does not alias with b2.

Sometimes a LLVM compilation may take more time then a client would like to
wait for. The problem is that it is not possible to safely suspend the LLVM
thread from the outside. When the timing is bad it might be possible that the
LLVM thread holds a global mutex and this would block any progress in any other
thread.
This commit adds a new yield callback function that can be registered with a
context. LLVM will try to yield by calling this callback function, but there is
no guaranteed frequency. LLVM will only do so if it can guarantee that
suspending the thread won't block any forward progress in other LLVM contexts
in the same process.
Once the client receives the call back it can suspend the thread safely and
resume it at another time.

This allows code to statically accept a Function or a GlobalVariable, but

This commit provides the necessary C/C++ APIs and infastructure to enable fine-
grain progress report and safe suspension points after each pass in the pass
manager.
Clients can provide a callback function to the pass manager to call after each
pass. This can be used in a variety of ways (progress report, dumping of IR
between passes, safe suspension of threads, etc).
The run listener list is maintained in the LLVMContext, which allows a multi-
threaded client to be only informed for it's own thread. This of course assumes
that the client created a LLVMContext for each thread.

We normally don't drop functions from the C API's, but in this case I think we

* It is an incredibly specialized use case. The only reason MCJIT needs it is

selfhost.
The 'Core.h' C-API header is part of the IR LLVM library. (One might
even argue it should be called IR.h, but that's a separate point.) We
can't include it into a Support header without violating the layering,
and in a way that breaks modules. MemoryBuffer's opaque C type was being
defined in the Core.h C-API header despite being in the Support library,
and thus we ended up with this weird issue.
It turns out that there were other constructs from the Support library
in the Core.h header. This patch lifts all of them into Support.h and
then includes that into Core.h.
The only possible fallout is if someone was including Support.h and
relying on Core.h to be visible for their own uses. Considering the
narrow interface actually provided by the C-API for the Support library,
this seems a very, very unlikely mistake.

A 'remark' is information that is not an error or a warning, but rather some
additional information provided to the user. In contrast to a 'note' a 'remark'
is an independent diagnostic, whereas a 'note' always depends on another
diagnostic.

information provided by the vectorizer about loops that have been vectorized.

This function adds an extra path argument to lto_module_create_from_memory.
The path argument will be passed to makeBuffer to make sure the MemoryBuffer

Other/link-opts.ll. The problem was that calling

fixes the bug.
The original commit message follows.
Add API to LTOCodeGenerator to specify a strategy for the -internalize
pass.
This is a new attempt at Bill's change in r185882, which he reverted in
r188029 due to problems with the gold linker. This puts the onus on the
linker to decide whether (and what) to internalize.
In particular, running internalize before outputting an object file may
change a 'weak' symbol into an internal one, even though that symbol
could be needed by an external object file --- e.g., with arclite.
This patch enables three strategies:
- LTO_INTERNALIZE_FULL: the default (and the old behaviour).
- LTO_INTERNALIZE_NONE: skip -internalize.
- LTO_INTERNALIZE_HIDDEN: only -internalize symbols with hidden
visibility.
LTO_INTERNALIZE_FULL should be used when linking an executable.
Outputting an object file (e.g., via ld -r) is more complicated, and
depends on whether hidden symbols should be internalized. E.g., for
ld -r, LTO_INTERNALIZE_NONE can be used when -keep_private_externs, and
LTO_INTERNALIZE_HIDDEN can be used otherwise. However,
LTO_INTERNALIZE_FULL is inappropriate, since the output object file will
eventually need to link with others.
lto_codegen_set_internalize_strategy() sets the strategy for subsequent
calls to lto_codegen_write_merged_modules() and lto_codegen_compile*().

This adds a loop rerolling pass: the opposite of (partial) loop unrolling. The
transformation aims to take loops like this:
for (int i = 0; i < 3200; i += 5) {
a[i] += alpha * b[i];
a[i + 1] += alpha * b[i + 1];
a[i + 2] += alpha * b[i + 2];
a[i + 3] += alpha * b[i + 3];
a[i + 4] += alpha * b[i + 4];
}
and turn them into this:
for (int i = 0; i < 3200; ++i) {
a[i] += alpha * b[i];
}
and loops like this:
for (int i = 0; i < 500; ++i) {
x[3*i] = foo(0);
x[3*i+1] = foo(0);
x[3*i+2] = foo(0);
}
and turn them into this:
for (int i = 0; i < 1500; ++i) {
x[i] = foo(0);
}
There are two motivations for this transformation:
1. Code-size reduction (especially relevant, obviously, when compiling for
code size).
2. Providing greater choice to the loop vectorizer (and generic unroller) to
choose the unrolling factor (and a better ability to vectorize). The loop
vectorizer can take vector lengths and register pressure into account when
choosing an unrolling factor, for example, and a pre-unrolled loop limits that
choice. This is especially problematic if the manual unrolling was optimized
for a machine different from the current target.
The current implementation is limited to single basic-block loops only. The
rerolling recognition should work regardless of how the loop iterations are
intermixed within the loop body (subject to dependency and side-effect
constraints), but the significant restriction is that the order of the
instructions in each iteration must be identical. This seems sufficient to
capture all current use cases.
This pass is not currently enabled by default at any optimization level.
