Currently all the consecutive bitfields are wrapped as a large integer unless there is unamed zero sized bitfield in between. The patch provides an alternative manner which makes the bitfield to be accessed as separate memory location if it has legal integer width and is naturally aligned. Such separate bitfield may split the original consecutive bitfields into subgroups of consecutive bitfields, and each subgroup will be wrapped as an integer. Now This is all controlled by an option -ffine-grained-bitfield-accesses. The alternative of bitfield access manner can improve the access efficiency of those bitfields with legal width and being aligned, but may reduce the chance of load/store combining of other bitfields, so it depends on how the bitfields are defined and actually accessed to choose when to use the option. For now the option is off by default. Differential revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D36562 llvm-svn: 315915 |

IRgen optimization opportunities. //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===// The common pattern of -- short x; // or char, etc (x == 10) -- generates an zext/sext of x which can easily be avoided. //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===// Bitfields accesses can be shifted to simplify masking and sign extension. For example, if the bitfield width is 8 and it is appropriately aligned then is is a lot shorter to just load the char directly. //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===// It may be worth avoiding creation of alloca's for formal arguments for the common situation where the argument is never written to or has its address taken. The idea would be to begin generating code by using the argument directly and if its address is taken or it is stored to then generate the alloca and patch up the existing code. In theory, the same optimization could be a win for block local variables as long as the declaration dominates all statements in the block. NOTE: The main case we care about this for is for -O0 -g compile time performance, and in that scenario we will need to emit the alloca anyway currently to emit proper debug info. So this is blocked by being able to emit debug information which refers to an LLVM temporary, not an alloca. //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===// We should try and avoid generating basic blocks which only contain jumps. At -O0, this penalizes us all the way from IRgen (malloc & instruction overhead), all the way down through code generation and assembly time. On 176.gcc:expr.ll, it looks like over 12% of basic blocks are just direct branches! //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
