One optimization simplify-cfg performs is the converting of switches to
lookup tables if the switch has > 4 cases. This is done by:
1. Finding the max/min case value and calculating the switch case range.
2. Create a lookup table basic block.
3. Perform a check in the switch's BB to see if the input value is in
the switch's case range. If the input value satisfies said predicate
branch to the lookup table BB, otherwise branch to the switch's default
destination BB using the default value as the result.
The conditional check consists of subtracting the min case value of the
table from any input iN value and then ensuring that said value is
unsigned less than the size of the lookup table represented as an iN
value.
If the lookup table is a covered lookup table, the size of the table will be N
which is 0 as an iN value. Thus the comparison will be an `icmp ult` of an iN
value against 0 which is always false yielding the incorrect result.
This patch fixes this problem by recognizing if we have a covered lookup table
and if we do, unconditionally jumps to the lookup table BB since the covering
property of the lookup table implies no input values could not be handled by
said BB.

This makes using array_pod_sort significantly safer. The implementation relies
on function pointer casting but that should be safe as we're dealing with void*

Merge consecutive if-regions if they contain identical statements.
Both transformations reduce number of branches. The transformation
is guarded by a target-hook, and is currently enabled only for +R600,
but the correctness has been tested on X86 target using a variety of
CPU benchmarks.

This allows us to create switches even if instcombine has munged two of the
incombing compares into one and some bit twiddling. This was motivated by enum
compares that are common in clang.

The problem this time seems to be a thinko. We were assuming that in the CFG
A
| \
| B
| /
C
speculating the basic block B would cause only the phi value for the B->C edge
to be speculated. That is not true, the phi's are semantically in the edges, so
if the A->B->C path is taken, any code needed for A->C is not executed and we
have to consider it too when deciding to speculate B.
llvm-svn: 183226
PR16069 is an interesting case where an incoming value to a PHI is a
trap value while also being a 'ConstantExpr'.
We do not consider this case when performing the 'HoistThenElseCodeToIf'
optimization.
Instead, make our modifications more conservative if we detect that we
cannot transform the PHI to a select.

This resurrects r179957, but adds code that makes sure we don't touch
atomic/volatile stores:
This transformation will transform a conditional store with a preceeding
uncondtional store to the same location:
a[i] =
may-alias with a[i] load
if (cond)
a[i] = Y
into an unconditional store.
a[i] = X
may-alias with a[i] load
tmp = cond ? Y : X;
a[i] = tmp
We assume that on average the cost of a mispredicted branch is going to be
higher than the cost of a second store to the same location, and that the
secondary benefits of creating a bigger basic block for other optimizations to
work on outway the potential case where the branch would be correctly predicted
and the cost of the executing the second store would be noticably reflected in
performance.
hmmer's execution time improves by 30% on an imac12,2 on ref data sets. With
this change we are on par with gcc's performance (gcc also performs this
transformation). There was a 1.2 % performance improvement on a ARM swift chip.
Other tests in the test-suite+external seem to be mostly uninfluenced in my
experiments:
This optimization was triggered on 41 tests such that the executable was
different before/after the patch. Only 1 out of the 40 tests (dealII) was
reproducable below 100% (by about .4%). Given that hmmer benefits so much I
believe this to be a fair trade off.

There is the temptation to make this tranform dependent on target information as
it is not going to be beneficial on all (sub)targets. Therefore, we should
probably do this in MI Early-Ifconversion.

If a switch instruction has a case for every possible value of its type,
with the same successor, SimplifyCFG would replace it with an icmp ult,
but the computation of the bound overflows in that case, which inverts
the test.
Patch by Jed Davis!
llvm-svn: 179587
Fixes rdar:13349374.
Volatile loads and stores need to be preserved even if the language
standard says they are undefined. "volatile" in this context means "get
out of the way compiler, let my platform handle it".
Additionally, this is the only way I know of with llvm to write to the
first page (when hardware allows) without dropping to assembly.
llvm-svn: 176599
loops over instructions in the basic block or the use-def list of the
value, neither of which are really efficient when repeatedly querying
about values in the same basic block.
What's more, we already know that the CondBB is small, and so we can do
a much more efficient test by counting the uses in CondBB, and seeing if
those account for all of the uses.
Finally, we shouldn't blanket fail on any such instruction, instead we
should conservatively assume that those instructions are part of the
cost.
Note that this actually fixes a bug in the pass because
isUsedInBasicBlock has a really terrible bug in it. I'll fix that in my
next commit, but the fix for it would make this code suddenly take the
compile time hit I thought it already was taking, so I wanted to go
ahead and migrate this code to a faster & better pattern.
The bug in isUsedInBasicBlock was also causing other tests to test the
wrong thing entirely: for example we weren't actually disabling
speculation for floating point operations as intended (and tested), but
the test passed because we failed to speculate them due to the
isUsedInBasicBlock failure.

Original commit message:
Plug TTI into the speculation logic, giving it a real cost interface
that can be specialized by targets.
The goal here is not to be more aggressive, but to just be more accurate
with very obvious cases. There are instructions which are known to be
truly free and which were not being modeled as such in this code -- see
the regression test which is distilled from an inner loop of zlib.
Everywhere the TTI cost model is insufficiently conservative I've added
explicit checks with FIXME comments to go add proper modelling of these
cost factors.
If this causes regressions, the likely solution is to make TTI even more
conservative in its cost estimates, but test cases will help here.

a cost fuction that seems both a bit ad-hoc and also poorly suited to
evaluating constant expressions.
Notably, it is missing any support for trivial expressions such as
'inttoptr'. I could fix this routine, but it isn't clear to me all of
the constraints its other users are operating under.
The core protection that seems relevant here is avoiding the formation
of a select instruction wich a further chain of select operations in
a constant expression operand. Just explicitly encode that constraint.
Also, update the comments and organization here to make it clear where
this needs to go -- this should be driven off of real cost measurements
which take into account the number of constants expressions and the
depth of the constant expression tree.

terms of cost rather than hoisting a single instruction.
This does *not* change the cost model! We still set the cost threshold
at 1 here, it's just that we track it by accumulating cost rather than
by storing an instruction.
The primary advantage is that we no longer leave no-op intrinsics in the
basic block. For example, this will now move both debug info intrinsics
and a single instruction, instead of only moving the instruction and
leaving a basic block with nothing bug debug info intrinsics in it, and
those intrinsics now no longer ordered correctly with the hoisted value.
Instead, we now splice the entire conditional basic block's instruction
sequence.
This also places the code for checking the safety of hoisting next to
the code computing the cost.
Currently, the only observable side-effect of this change is that debug
info intrinsics are no longer abandoned. I'm not sure how to craft
a test case for this, and my real goal was the refactoring, but I'll
talk to Dave or Eric about how to add a test case for this.
llvm-svn: 173339
Previously, the code would scan the PHI nodes and build up a small
setvector of candidate value pairs in phi nodes to go and rewrite. Once
certain the rewrite could be performed, the code walks the set, and for
each one re-scans the entire PHI node list looking for nodes to rewrite
operands.
Instead, scan the PHI nodes once to check for hazards, and then scan it
a second time to rewrite the operands to selects. No set vector, and
a max of two scans.
The only downside is that we might form identical selects, but
instcombine or anything else should fold those easily, and it seems
unlikely to happen often.
llvm-svn: 173337
pretty in doxygen, adding some of the details actually present in
a classic example where this matters (a loop from gzip and many other
compression algorithms), and a cautionary note about the risks inherent
in the transform. This has come up on the mailing lists recently, and
I suspect folks reading this code could benefit from going and looking
at the MI pass that can really deal with these issues.

through as a reference rather than a pointer. There is always *some*
implementation of this available, so this simplifies code by not having
to test for whether it is available or not.
Further, it turns out there were piles of places where SimplifyCFG was
recursing and not passing down either TD or TTI. These are fixed to be
more pedantically consistent even though I don't have any particular
cases where it would matter.

into their new header subdirectory: include/llvm/IR. This matches the
directory structure of lib, and begins to correct a long standing point
of file layout clutter in LLVM.
There are still more header files to move here, but I wanted to handle
them in separate commits to make tracking what files make sense at each
layer easier.
The only really questionable files here are the target intrinsic
tablegen files. But that's a battle I'd rather not fight today.
I've updated both CMake and Makefile build systems (I think, and my
tests think, but I may have missed something).
I've also re-sorted the includes throughout the project. I'll be
committing updates to Clang, DragonEgg, and Polly momentarily.
llvm-svn: 171366
Sooooo many of these had incorrect or strange main module includes.
I have manually inspected all of these, and fixed the main module
include to be the nearest plausible thing I could find. If you own or
care about any of these source files, I encourage you to take some time
and check that these edits were sensible. I can't have broken anything
(I strictly added headers, and reordered them, never removed), but they
may not be the headers you'd really like to identify as containing the
API being implemented.
Many forward declarations and missing includes were added to a header
files to allow them to parse cleanly when included first. The main
module rule does in fact have its merits. =]

We're iterating over a non-deterministically ordered container looking
for two saturating flags. To do this correctly, we have to saturate
both, and only stop looping if both saturate to their final value.
Otherwise, which flag we see first changes the result.
This is also a micro-optimization of the previous version as now we
don't go into the (possibly expensive) test logic once the first
violation of either constraint is detected.
llvm-svn: 168989
functionality changed.
Evan's commit r168970 moved the code that the primary comment in this
function referred to to the other end of the function without moving the
comment, and there has been a steady creep of "boolean" logic in it that
is simpler if handled via early exit. That way each special case can
have its own comments. I've also made the variable name a bit more
explanatory than "AllFit". This is in preparation to fix the
non-deterministic output of this function.

getIntPtrType support for multiple address spaces via a pointer type,
and also introduced a crasher bug in the constant folder reported in
PR14233.
These commits also contained several problems that should really be
addressed before they are re-committed. I have avoided reverting various
cleanups to the DataLayout APIs that are reasonable to have moving
forward in order to reduce the amount of churn, and minimize the number
of commits that were reverted. I've also manually updated merge
conflicts and manually arranged for the getIntPtrType function to stay
in DataLayout and to be defined in a plausible way after this revert.
Thanks to Duncan for working through this exact strategy with me, and
Nick Lewycky for tracking down the really annoying crasher this
triggered. (Test case to follow in its own commit.)
After discussing with Duncan extensively, and based on a note from
Micah, I'm going to continue to back out some more of the more
problematic patches in this series in order to ensure we go into the
LLVM 3.2 branch with a reasonable story here. I'll send a note to
llvmdev explaining what's going on and why.
Summary of reverted revisions:
r166634: Fix a compiler warning with an unused variable.
r166607: Add some cleanup to the DataLayout changes requested by
Chandler.
r166596: Revert "Back out r166591, not sure why this made it through
since I cancelled the command. Bleh, sorry about this!
r166591: Delete a directory that wasn't supposed to be checked in yet.
r166578: Add in support for getIntPtrType to get the pointer type based
on the address space.

By propagating the value for the switch condition, LLVM can now build
lookup tables for code such as:
switch (x) {
case 1: return 5;
case 2: return 42;
case 3: case 4: case 5:
return x - 123;
default:
return 123;
}
Given that x is known for each case, "x - 123" becomes a constant for
cases 3, 4, and 5.
llvm-svn: 167115
When the switch-to-lookup tables transform landed in SimplifyCFG, it
was pointed out that this could be inappropriate for some targets.
Since there was no way at the time for the pass to know anything about
the target, an awkward reverse-transform was added in CodeGenPrepare
that turned lookup tables back into switches for some targets.
This patch uses the new TargetTransformInfo to determine if a
switch should be transformed, and removes
CodeGenPrepare::ConvertLoadToSwitch.
llvm-svn: 167011
wrapper returns a vector of integers when passed a vector of pointers) by having
getIntPtrType itself return a vector of integers in this case. Outside of this
wrapper, I didn't find anywhere in the codebase that was relying on the old
behaviour for vectors of pointers, so give this a whirl through the buildbots.
llvm-svn: 166939
The isValueEqualityComparison() guard at the top of SimplifySwitch()
only applies to some of the possible transformations.
The newer transformations work just fine on large switches, and the
check on predecessor count is nonsensical.

We conservatively only check the first use to avoid walking long use chains.

If the width is very large it gets truncated from uint64_t to uint32_t when

tables in bitmaps when they fit in a target-legal register.
This saves some space, and it also allows for building tables that would
otherwise be deemed too sparse.
One interesting case that this hits is example 7 from
http://blog.regehr.org/archives/320. We currently generate good code
for this when lowering the switch to the selection DAG: we build a
bitmask to decide whether to jump to one block or the other. My patch
will result in the same bitmask, but it removes the need for the jump,
as the return value can just be retrieved from the mask.
llvm-svn: 164684
We already have HoistThenElseCodeToIf, this patch implements
SinkThenElseCodeToEnd. When END block has only two predecessors and each
predecessor terminates with unconditional branches, we compare instructions in
IF and ELSE blocks backwards and check whether we can sink the common
instructions down.

two variables where the first variable is returned and the second
ignored.
I don't think this occurs in practice (other passes should have cleaned
up the unused phi node), but it should still be handled correctly.
Also make the logic for determining if we should return early less
sketchy.

destination.
Updated previous implementation to fix a case not covered:
// PBI: br i1 %x, TrueDest, BB
// BI: br i1 %y, TrueDest, FalseDest
The other case was handled correctly.
// PBI: br i1 %x, BB, FalseDest
// BI: br i1 %y, TrueDest, FalseDest
Also tried to use 64-bit arithmetic instead of APInt with scale to simplify the
computation. Let me know if you have other opinions about this.

a pair of switch/branch where both depend on the value of the same variable and
the default case of the first switch/branch goes to the second switch/branch.
Code clean up and fixed a few issues:
1> handling the case where some cases of the 2nd switch are invalidated
2> correctly calculate the weight for the 2nd switch when it is a conditional eq
Testing case is modified from Alastair's original patch.

The lookup tables did not get built in a deterministic order.
This makes them get built in the order that the corresponding phi nodes
were found.
llvm-svn: 163305
This adds a transformation to SimplifyCFG that attemps to turn switch
instructions into loads from lookup tables. It works on switches that
are only used to initialize one or more phi nodes in a common successor
basic block, for example:
int f(int x) {
switch (x) {
case 0: return 5;
case 1: return 4;
case 2: return -2;
case 5: return 7;
case 6: return 9;
default: return 42;
}
This speeds up the code by removing the hard-to-predict jump, and
reduces code size by removing the code for the jump targets.

This was always part of the VMCore library out of necessity -- it deals
entirely in the IR. The .cpp file in fact was already part of the VMCore
library. This is just a mechanical move.
I've tried to go through and re-apply the coding standard's preferred
header sort, but at 40-ish files, I may have gotten some wrong. Please
let me know if so.
I'll be committing the corresponding updates to Clang and Polly, and
Duncan has DragonEgg.
Thanks to Bill and Eric for giving the green light for this bit of cleanup.

This patch extends FoldBranchToCommonDest to fold unconditional branches.
For unconditional branches, we fold them if it is easy to update the phi nodes
