![]() Summary: In D65186 and related patches, MustBeExecutedContextExplorer is introduced. This enables us to traverse instructions guaranteed to execute from function entry. If we can know the argument is used as `dereferenceable` or `nonnull` in these instructions, we can mark `dereferenceable` or `nonnull` in the argument definition: 1. Memory instruction (similar to D64258) Trace memory instruction pointer operand. Currently, only inbounds GEPs are traced. ``` define i64* @f(i64* %a) { entry: %add.ptr = getelementptr inbounds i64, i64* %a, i64 1 ; (because of inbounds GEP we can know that %a is at least dereferenceable(16)) store i64 1, i64* %add.ptr, align 8 ret i64* %add.ptr ; dereferenceable 8 (because above instruction stores into it) } ``` 2. Propagation from callsite (similar to D27855) If `deref` or `nonnull` are known in call site parameter attributes we can also say that argument also that attribute. ``` declare void @use3(i8* %x, i8* %y, i8* %z); declare void @use3nonnull(i8* nonnull %x, i8* nonnull %y, i8* nonnull %z); define void @parent1(i8* %a, i8* %b, i8* %c) { call void @use3nonnull(i8* %b, i8* %c, i8* %a) ; Above instruction is always executed so we can say that@parent1(i8* nonnnull %a, i8* nonnull %b, i8* nonnull %c) call void @use3(i8* %c, i8* %a, i8* %b) ret void } ``` Reviewers: jdoerfert, sstefan1, spatel, reames Reviewed By: jdoerfert Subscribers: xbolva00, hiraditya, jfb, llvm-commits Tags: #llvm Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D65402 llvm-svn: 374063 |

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure
This directory and its subdirectories contain source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and runtime environments.
