This patch is an attempt to clarify and simplify generation and propagation of TBAA information. The idea is to pack all values that describe a memory access, namely, base type, access type and offset, into a single structure. This is supposed to make further changes, such as adding support for unions and array members, easier to prepare and review. DecorateInstructionWithTBAA() is no more responsible for converting types to tags. These implicit conversions not only complicate reading the code, but also suggest assigning scalar access tags while we generally prefer full-size struct-path tags. TBAAPathTag is replaced with TBAAAccessInfo; the latter is now the type of the keys of the cache map that translates access descriptors to metadata nodes. Fixed a bug with writing to a wrong map in getTBAABaseTypeMetadata() (former getTBAAStructTypeInfo()). We now check for valid base access types every time we dereference a field. The original code only checks the top-level base type. See isValidBaseType() / isTBAAPathStruct() calls. Some entities have been renamed to sound more adequate and less confusing/misleading in presence of path-aware TBAA information. Now we do not lookup twice for the same cache entry in getAccessTagInfo(). Refined relevant comments and descriptions. Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D37826 llvm-svn: 315048 |
