We previously supported the align attribute on all (pointer) parameters, but we only used it for byval parameters. However, it is completely consistent at the IR level to treat 'align n' on all pointer parameters as an alignment assumption on the pointer, and now we wll. Specifically, this causes computeKnownBits to use the align attribute on all pointer parameters, not just byval parameters. I've also added an explicit parameter attribute test for this to test/Bitcode/attributes.ll. And I've updated the LangRef to document the align parameter attribute (as it turns out, it was not documented at all previously, although the byval documentation mentioned that it could be used). There are (at least) two benefits to doing this: - It allows enhancing alignment based on the pointer alignment after inlining callees. - It allows simplification of pointer arithmetic. llvm-svn: 213670 |

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
In test/Transforms/LoopStrengthReduce/quadradic-exit-value.ll, the
ScalarEvolution expression for %r is this:
{1,+,3,+,2}<loop>
Outside the loop, this could be evaluated simply as (%n * %n), however
ScalarEvolution currently evaluates it as
(-2 + (2 * (trunc i65 (((zext i64 (-2 + %n) to i65) * (zext i64 (-1 + %n) to i65)) /u 2) to i64)) + (3 * %n))
In addition to being much more complicated, it involves i65 arithmetic,
which is very inefficient when expanded into code.
//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
In formatValue in test/CodeGen/X86/lsr-delayed-fold.ll,
ScalarEvolution is forming this expression:
((trunc i64 (-1 * %arg5) to i32) + (trunc i64 %arg5 to i32) + (-1 * (trunc i64 undef to i32)))
This could be folded to
(-1 * (trunc i64 undef to i32))
