//===-- LoopIdiomRecognize.cpp - Loop idiom recognition -------------------===//
//
// The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure
//
// This file is distributed under the University of Illinois Open Source
// License. See LICENSE.TXT for details.
//
//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//
//
// This pass implements an idiom recognizer that transforms simple loops into a
// non-loop form. In cases that this kicks in, it can be a significant
// performance win.
//
// If compiling for code size we avoid idiom recognition if the resulting
// code could be larger than the code for the original loop. One way this could
// happen is if the loop is not removable after idiom recognition due to the
// presence of non-idiom instructions. The initial implementation of the
// heuristics applies to idioms in multi-block loops.
//
//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//
//
// TODO List:
//
// Future loop memory idioms to recognize:
// memcmp, memmove, strlen, etc.
// Future floating point idioms to recognize in -ffast-math mode:
// fpowi
// Future integer operation idioms to recognize:
// ctpop, ctlz, cttz
//
// Beware that isel's default lowering for ctpop is highly inefficient for
// i64 and larger types when i64 is legal and the value has few bits set. It
// would be good to enhance isel to emit a loop for ctpop in this case.
//
// This could recognize common matrix multiplies and dot product idioms and
// replace them with calls to BLAS (if linked in??).
