Target Independent Opportunities:

We should recognized various "overflow detection" idioms and translate them into
 | 
						|
llvm.uadd.with.overflow and similar intrinsics.  Here is a multiply idiom:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
unsigned int mul(unsigned int a,unsigned int b) {
 | 
						|
 if ((unsigned long long)a*b>0xffffffff)
 | 
						|
   exit(0);
 | 
						|
  return a*b;
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The legalization code for mul-with-overflow needs to be made more robust before
 | 
						|
this can be implemented though.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Get the C front-end to expand hypot(x,y) -> llvm.sqrt(x*x+y*y) when errno and
 | 
						|
precision don't matter (ffastmath).  Misc/mandel will like this. :)  This isn't
 | 
						|
safe in general, even on darwin.  See the libm implementation of hypot for
 | 
						|
examples (which special case when x/y are exactly zero to get signed zeros etc
 | 
						|
right).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
On targets with expensive 64-bit multiply, we could LSR this:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
for (i = ...; ++i) {
 | 
						|
   x = 1ULL << i;
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
into:
 | 
						|
 long long tmp = 1;
 | 
						|
 for (i = ...; ++i, tmp+=tmp)
 | 
						|
   x = tmp;
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This would be a win on ppc32, but not x86 or ppc64.
 | 
						|

Shrink: (setlt (loadi32 P), 0) -> (setlt (loadi8 Phi), 0)

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Reassociate should turn things like:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
int factorial(int X) {
 | 
						|
 return X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X;
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
into llvm.powi calls, allowing the code generator to produce balanced
 | 
						|
multiplication trees.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
First, the intrinsic needs to be extended to support integers, and second the
 | 
						|
code generator needs to be enhanced to lower these to multiplication trees.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Interesting? testcase for add/shift/mul reassoc:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
int bar(int x, int y) {
 | 
						|
  return x*x*x+y+x*x*x*x*x*y*y*y*y;
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
int foo(int z, int n) {
 | 
						|
  return bar(z, n) + bar(2*z, 2*n);
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This is blocked on not handling X*X*X -> powi(X, 3) (see note above).  The issue
 | 
						|
is that we end up getting t = 2*X  s = t*t   and don't turn this into 4*X*X,
 | 
						|
which is the same number of multiplies and is canonical, because the 2*X has
 | 
						|
multiple uses.  Here's a simple example:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
define i32 @test15(i32 %X1) {
 | 
						|
  %B = mul i32 %X1, 47   ; X1*47
 | 
						|
  %C = mul i32 %B, %B
 | 
						|
  ret i32 %C
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Reassociate should handle the example in GCC PR16157:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
extern int a0, a1, a2, a3, a4; extern int b0, b1, b2, b3, b4; 
 | 
						|
void f () {  /* this can be optimized to four additions... */ 
 | 
						|
        b4 = a4 + a3 + a2 + a1 + a0; 
 | 
						|
        b3 = a3 + a2 + a1 + a0; 
 | 
						|
        b2 = a2 + a1 + a0; 
 | 
						|
        b1 = a1 + a0; 
 | 
						|
} 
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This requires reassociating to forms of expressions that are already available,
 | 
						|
something that reassoc doesn't think about yet.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This function: (derived from GCC PR19988)
 | 
						|
double foo(double x, double y) {
 | 
						|
  return ((x + 0.1234 * y) * (x + -0.1234 * y));
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
compiles to:
 | 
						|
_foo:
 | 
						|
	movapd	%xmm1, %xmm2
 | 
						|
	mulsd	LCPI1_1(%rip), %xmm1
 | 
						|
	mulsd	LCPI1_0(%rip), %xmm2
 | 
						|
	addsd	%xmm0, %xmm1
 | 
						|
	addsd	%xmm0, %xmm2
 | 
						|
	movapd	%xmm1, %xmm0
 | 
						|
	mulsd	%xmm2, %xmm0
 | 
						|
	ret
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Reassociate should be able to turn it into:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
double foo(double x, double y) {
 | 
						|
  return ((x + 0.1234 * y) * (x - 0.1234 * y));
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Which allows the multiply by constant to be CSE'd, producing:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
_foo:
 | 
						|
	mulsd	LCPI1_0(%rip), %xmm1
 | 
						|
	movapd	%xmm1, %xmm2
 | 
						|
	addsd	%xmm0, %xmm2
 | 
						|
	subsd	%xmm1, %xmm0
 | 
						|
	mulsd	%xmm2, %xmm0
 | 
						|
	ret
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This doesn't need -ffast-math support at all.  This is particularly bad because
 | 
						|
the llvm-gcc frontend is canonicalizing the later into the former, but clang
 | 
						|
doesn't have this problem.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
These two functions should generate the same code on big-endian systems:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
int g(int *j,int *l)  {  return memcmp(j,l,4);  }
 | 
						|
int h(int *j, int *l) {  return *j - *l; }
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
this could be done in SelectionDAGISel.cpp, along with other special cases,
 | 
						|
for 1,2,4,8 bytes.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
It would be nice to revert this patch:
 | 
						|
http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/llvm-commits/Week-of-Mon-20060213/031986.html
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
And teach the dag combiner enough to simplify the code expanded before 
 | 
						|
legalize.  It seems plausible that this knowledge would let it simplify other
 | 
						|
stuff too.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|

For vector types, DataLayout.cpp::getTypeInfo() returns alignment that is equal
 | 
						|
to the type size. It works but can be overly conservative as the alignment of
 | 
						|
specific vector types are target dependent.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
We should produce an unaligned load from code like this:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
v4sf example(float *P) {
 | 
						|
  return (v4sf){P[0], P[1], P[2], P[3] };
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Add support for conditional increments, and other related patterns.  Instead
 | 
						|
of:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	movl 136(%esp), %eax
 | 
						|
	cmpl $0, %eax
 | 
						|
	je LBB16_2	#cond_next
 | 
						|
LBB16_1:	#cond_true
 | 
						|
	incl _foo
 | 
						|
LBB16_2:	#cond_next
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
emit:
 | 
						|
	movl	_foo, %eax
 | 
						|
	cmpl	$1, %edi
 | 
						|
	sbbl	$-1, %eax
 | 
						|
	movl	%eax, _foo
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Combine: a = sin(x), b = cos(x) into a,b = sincos(x).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Expand these to calls of sin/cos and stores:
 | 
						|
      double sincos(double x, double *sin, double *cos);
 | 
						|
      float sincosf(float x, float *sin, float *cos);
 | 
						|
      long double sincosl(long double x, long double *sin, long double *cos);
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Doing so could allow SROA of the destination pointers.  See also:
 | 
						|
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17687
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This is now easily doable with MRVs.  We could even make an intrinsic for this
 | 
						|
if anyone cared enough about sincos.
 | 
						|
 |

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

quantum_sigma_x in 462.libquantum contains the following loop:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
      for(i=0; i<reg->size; i++)
 | 
						|
	{
 | 
						|
	  /* Flip the target bit of each basis state */
 | 
						|
	  reg->node[i].state ^= ((MAX_UNSIGNED) 1 << target);
 | 
						|
	} 
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Where MAX_UNSIGNED/state is a 64-bit int.  On a 32-bit platform it would be just
 | 
						|
so cool to turn it into something like:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   long long Res = ((MAX_UNSIGNED) 1 << target);
 | 
						|
   if (target < 32) {
 | 
						|
     for(i=0; i<reg->size; i++)
 | 
						|
       reg->node[i].state ^= Res & 0xFFFFFFFFULL;
 | 
						|
   } else {
 | 
						|
     for(i=0; i<reg->size; i++)
 | 
						|
       reg->node[i].state ^= Res & 0xFFFFFFFF00000000ULL
 | 
						|
   }
 | 
						|
   
 | 
						|
... which would only do one 32-bit XOR per loop iteration instead of two.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
It would also be nice to recognize the reg->size doesn't alias reg->node[i], but
 | 
						|
this requires TBAA.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

This isn't recognized as bswap by instcombine (yes, it really is bswap):
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
unsigned long reverse(unsigned v) {
 | 
						|
    unsigned t;
 | 
						|
    t = v ^ ((v << 16) | (v >> 16));
 | 
						|
    t &= ~0xff0000;
 | 
						|
    v = (v << 24) | (v >> 8);
 | 
						|
    return v ^ (t >> 8);
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
[LOOP DELETION]
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
We don't delete this output free loop, because trip count analysis doesn't
 | 
						|
realize that it is finite (if it were infinite, it would be undefined).  Not
 | 
						|
having this blocks Loop Idiom from matching strlen and friends.  
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
void foo(char *C) {
 | 
						|
  int x = 0;
 | 
						|
  while (*C)
 | 
						|
    ++x,++C;
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
[LOOP RECOGNITION]
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
These idioms should be recognized as popcount (see PR1488):
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
unsigned countbits_slow(unsigned v) {
 | 
						|
  unsigned c;
 | 
						|
  for (c = 0; v; v >>= 1)
 | 
						|
    c += v & 1;
 | 
						|
  return c;
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
unsigned int popcount(unsigned int input) {
 | 
						|
  unsigned int count = 0;
 | 
						|
  for (unsigned int i =  0; i < 4 * 8; i++)
 | 
						|
    count += (input >> i) & i;
 | 
						|
  return count;
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This should be recognized as CLZ:  rdar://8459039
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
unsigned clz_a(unsigned a) {
 | 
						|
  int i;
 | 
						|
  for (i=0;i<32;i++)
 | 
						|
    if (a & (1<<(31-i)))
 | 
						|
      return i;
 | 
						|
  return 32;
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This sort of thing should be added to the loop idiom pass.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
These should turn into single 16-bit (unaligned?) loads on little/big endian
 | 
						|
processors.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
unsigned short read_16_le(const unsigned char *adr) {
 | 
						|
  return adr[0] | (adr[1] << 8);
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
unsigned short read_16_be(const unsigned char *adr) {
 | 
						|
  return (adr[0] << 8) | adr[1];
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
-instcombine should handle this transform:
 | 
						|
   icmp pred (sdiv X / C1 ), C2
 | 
						|
when X, C1, and C2 are unsigned.  Similarly for udiv and signed operands. 
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Currently InstCombine avoids this transform but will do it when the signs of
 | 
						|
the operands and the sign of the divide match. See the FIXME in 
 | 
						|
InstructionCombining.cpp in the visitSetCondInst method after the switch case 
 | 
						|
for Instruction::UDiv (around line 4447) for more details.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The SingleSource/Benchmarks/Shootout-C++/hash and hash2 tests have examples of
 | 
						|
this construct. 
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
[LOOP OPTIMIZATION]
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
SingleSource/Benchmarks/Misc/dt.c shows several interesting optimization
 | 
						|
opportunities in its double_array_divs_variable function: it needs loop
 | 
						|
interchange, memory promotion (which LICM already does), vectorization and
 | 
						|
variable trip count loop unrolling (since it has a constant trip count). ICC
 | 
						|
apparently produces this very nice code with -ffast-math:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
..B1.70:                        # Preds ..B1.70 ..B1.69
 | 
						|
       mulpd     %xmm0, %xmm1                                  #108.2
 | 
						|
       mulpd     %xmm0, %xmm1                                  #108.2
 | 
						|
       mulpd     %xmm0, %xmm1                                  #108.2
 | 
						|
       mulpd     %xmm0, %xmm1                                  #108.2
 | 
						|
       addl      $8, %edx                                      #
 | 
						|
       cmpl      $131072, %edx                                 #108.2
 | 
						|
       jb        ..B1.70       # Prob 99%                      #108.2
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
It would be better to count down to zero, but this is a lot better than what we
 | 
						|
do.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Consider:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
typedef unsigned U32;
 | 
						|
typedef unsigned long long U64;
 | 
						|
int test (U32 *inst, U64 *regs) {
 | 
						|
    U64 effective_addr2;
 | 
						|
    U32 temp = *inst;
 | 
						|
    int r1 = (temp >> 20) & 0xf;
 | 
						|
    int b2 = (temp >> 16) & 0xf;
 | 
						|
    effective_addr2 = temp & 0xfff;
 | 
						|
    if (b2) effective_addr2 += regs[b2];
 | 
						|
    b2 = (temp >> 12) & 0xf;
 | 
						|
    if (b2) effective_addr2 += regs[b2];
 | 
						|
    effective_addr2 &= regs[4];
 | 
						|
     if ((effective_addr2 & 3) == 0)
 | 
						|
        return 1;
 | 
						|
    return 0;
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Note that only the low 2 bits of effective_addr2 are used.  On 32-bit systems,
 | 
						|
we don't eliminate the computation of the top half of effective_addr2 because
 | 
						|
we don't have whole-function selection dags.  On x86, this means we use one
 | 
						|
extra register for the function when effective_addr2 is declared as U64 than
 | 
						|
when it is declared U32.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
PHI Slicing could be extended to do this.
 |

Also, multiplies can be turned into SHL's, so they should be handled as if
 | 
						|
they were associative.  "return foo() << 1" can be tail recursion eliminated.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

Argument promotion should promote arguments for recursive functions, like 
 | 
						|
this:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
; RUN: llvm-as < %s | opt -argpromotion | llvm-dis | grep x.val
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
define internal i32 @foo(i32* %x) {
 | 
						|
entry:
 | 
						|
	%tmp = load i32* %x		; <i32> [#uses=0]
 | 
						|
	%tmp.foo = call i32 @foo( i32* %x )		; <i32> [#uses=1]
 | 
						|
	ret i32 %tmp.foo
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
define i32 @bar(i32* %x) {
 | 
						|
entry:
 | 
						|
	%tmp3 = call i32 @foo( i32* %x )		; <i32> [#uses=1]
 | 
						|
	ret i32 %tmp3
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|

We should investigate an instruction sinking pass.  Consider this silly
 | 
						|
example in pic mode:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
#include <assert.h>
 | 
						|
void foo(int x) {
 | 
						|
  assert(x);
 | 
						|
  //...
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
we compile this to:
 | 
						|
_foo:
 | 
						|
	subl	$28, %esp
 | 
						|
	call	"L1$pb"
 | 
						|
"L1$pb":
 | 
						|
	popl	%eax
 | 
						|
	cmpl	$0, 32(%esp)
 | 
						|
	je	LBB1_2	# cond_true
 | 
						|
LBB1_1:	# return
 | 
						|
	# ...
 | 
						|
	addl	$28, %esp
 | 
						|
	ret
 | 
						|
LBB1_2:	# cond_true
 | 
						|
...
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The PIC base computation (call+popl) is only used on one path through the 
 | 
						|
code, but is currently always computed in the entry block.  It would be 
 | 
						|
better to sink the picbase computation down into the block for the 
 | 
						|
assertion, as it is the only one that uses it.  This happens for a lot of 
 | 
						|
code with early outs.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Another example is loads of arguments, which are usually emitted into the 
 | 
						|
entry block on targets like x86.  If not used in all paths through a 
 | 
						|
function, they should be sunk into the ones that do.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
In this case, whole-function-isel would also handle this.

We should turn things like "load+fabs+store" and "load+fneg+store" into the
 | 
						|
corresponding integer operations.  On a yonah, this loop:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
double a[256];
 | 
						|
void foo() {
 | 
						|
  int i, b;
 | 
						|
  for (b = 0; b < 10000000; b++)
 | 
						|
  for (i = 0; i < 256; i++)
 | 
						|
    a[i] = -a[i];
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
is twice as slow as this loop:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
long long a[256];
 | 
						|
void foo() {
 | 
						|
  int i, b;
 | 
						|
  for (b = 0; b < 10000000; b++)
 | 
						|
  for (i = 0; i < 256; i++)
 | 
						|
    a[i] ^= (1ULL << 63);
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
and I suspect other processors are similar.  On X86 in particular this is a
 | 
						|
big win because doing this with integers allows the use of read/modify/write
 | 
						|
instructions.

						|

DAG Combiner should try to combine small loads into larger loads when 
 | 
						|
profitable.  For example, we compile this C++ example:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
struct THotKey { short Key; bool Control; bool Shift; bool Alt; };
 | 
						|
extern THotKey m_HotKey;
 | 
						|
THotKey GetHotKey () { return m_HotKey; }
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
into (-m64 -O3 -fno-exceptions -static -fomit-frame-pointer):
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
__Z9GetHotKeyv:                         ## @_Z9GetHotKeyv
 | 
						|
	movq	_m_HotKey@GOTPCREL(%rip), %rax
 | 
						|
	movzwl	(%rax), %ecx
 | 
						|
	movzbl	2(%rax), %edx
 | 
						|
	shlq	$16, %rdx
 | 
						|
	orq	%rcx, %rdx
 | 
						|
	movzbl	3(%rax), %ecx
 | 
						|
	shlq	$24, %rcx
 | 
						|
	orq	%rdx, %rcx
 | 
						|
	movzbl	4(%rax), %eax
 | 
						|
	shlq	$32, %rax
 | 
						|
	orq	%rcx, %rax
 | 
						|
	ret
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

We should add an FRINT node to the DAG to model targets that have legal
 | 
						|
implementations of ceil/floor/rint.
 |

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

Consider:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
int test() {
 | 
						|
  long long input[8] = {1,0,1,0,1,0,1,0};
 | 
						|
  foo(input);
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Clang compiles this into:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  call void @llvm.memset.p0i8.i64(i8* %tmp, i8 0, i64 64, i32 16, i1 false)
 | 
						|
  %0 = getelementptr [8 x i64]* %input, i64 0, i64 0
 | 
						|
  store i64 1, i64* %0, align 16
 | 
						|
  %1 = getelementptr [8 x i64]* %input, i64 0, i64 2
 | 
						|
  store i64 1, i64* %1, align 16
 | 
						|
  %2 = getelementptr [8 x i64]* %input, i64 0, i64 4
 | 
						|
  store i64 1, i64* %2, align 16
 | 
						|
  %3 = getelementptr [8 x i64]* %input, i64 0, i64 6
 | 
						|
  store i64 1, i64* %3, align 16
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Which gets codegen'd into:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	pxor	%xmm0, %xmm0
 | 
						|
	movaps	%xmm0, -16(%rbp)
 | 
						|
	movaps	%xmm0, -32(%rbp)
 | 
						|
	movaps	%xmm0, -48(%rbp)
 | 
						|
	movaps	%xmm0, -64(%rbp)
 | 
						|
	movq	$1, -64(%rbp)
 | 
						|
	movq	$1, -48(%rbp)
 | 
						|
	movq	$1, -32(%rbp)
 | 
						|
	movq	$1, -16(%rbp)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
It would be better to have 4 movq's of 0 instead of the movaps's.

						|

http://llvm.org/PR717:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The following code should compile into "ret int undef". Instead, LLVM
 | 
						|
produces "ret int 0":
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
int f() {
 | 
						|
  int x = 4;
 | 
						|
  int y;
 | 
						|
  if (x == 3) y = 0;
 | 
						|
  return y;
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The loop unroller should partially unroll loops (instead of peeling them)
 | 
						|
when code growth isn't too bad and when an unroll count allows simplification
 | 
						|
of some code within the loop.  One trivial example is:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
#include <stdio.h>
 | 
						|
int main() {
 | 
						|
    int nRet = 17;
 | 
						|
    int nLoop;
 | 
						|
    for ( nLoop = 0; nLoop < 1000; nLoop++ ) {
 | 
						|
        if ( nLoop & 1 )
 | 
						|
            nRet += 2;
 | 
						|
        else
 | 
						|
            nRet -= 1;
 | 
						|
    }
 | 
						|
    return nRet;
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Unrolling by 2 would eliminate the '&1' in both copies, leading to a net
 | 
						|
reduction in code size.  The resultant code would then also be suitable for
 | 
						|
exit value computation.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

We miss a bunch of rotate opportunities on various targets, including ppc, x86,
 | 
						|
etc.  On X86, we miss a bunch of 'rotate by variable' cases because the rotate
 | 
						|
matching code in dag combine doesn't look through truncates aggressively 
 | 
						|
enough.  Here are some testcases reduces from GCC PR17886:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
unsigned long long f5(unsigned long long x, unsigned long long y) {
 | 
						|
  return (x << 8) | ((y >> 48) & 0xffull);
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
unsigned long long f6(unsigned long long x, unsigned long long y, int z) {
 | 
						|
  switch(z) {
 | 
						|
  case 1:
 | 
						|
    return (x << 8) | ((y >> 48) & 0xffull);
 | 
						|
  case 2:
 | 
						|
    return (x << 16) | ((y >> 40) & 0xffffull);
 | 
						|
  case 3:
 | 
						|
    return (x << 24) | ((y >> 32) & 0xffffffull);
 | 
						|
  case 4:
 | 
						|
    return (x << 32) | ((y >> 24) & 0xffffffffull);
 | 
						|
  default:
 | 
						|
    return (x << 40) | ((y >> 16) & 0xffffffffffull);
 | 
						|
  }
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This (and similar related idioms):
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
unsigned int foo(unsigned char i) {
 | 
						|
  return i | (i<<8) | (i<<16) | (i<<24);
 | 
						|
} 
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
compiles into:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
define i32 @foo(i8 zeroext %i) nounwind readnone ssp noredzone {
 | 
						|
entry:
 | 
						|
  %conv = zext i8 %i to i32
 | 
						|
  %shl = shl i32 %conv, 8
 | 
						|
  %shl5 = shl i32 %conv, 16
 | 
						|
  %shl9 = shl i32 %conv, 24
 | 
						|
  %or = or i32 %shl9, %conv
 | 
						|
  %or6 = or i32 %or, %shl5
 | 
						|
  %or10 = or i32 %or6, %shl
 | 
						|
  ret i32 %or10
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
it would be better as:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
unsigned int bar(unsigned char i) {
 | 
						|
  unsigned int j=i | (i << 8); 
 | 
						|
  return j | (j<<16);
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
aka:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
define i32 @bar(i8 zeroext %i) nounwind readnone ssp noredzone {
 | 
						|
entry:
 | 
						|
  %conv = zext i8 %i to i32
 | 
						|
  %shl = shl i32 %conv, 8
 | 
						|
  %or = or i32 %shl, %conv
 | 
						|
  %shl5 = shl i32 %or, 16
 | 
						|
  %or6 = or i32 %shl5, %or
 | 
						|
  ret i32 %or6
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
or even i*0x01010101, depending on the speed of the multiplier.  The best way to
 | 
						|
handle this is to canonicalize it to a multiply in IR and have codegen handle
 | 
						|
lowering multiplies to shifts on cpus where shifts are faster.

We do a number of simplifications in simplify libcalls to strength reduce
 | 
						|
standard library functions, but we don't currently merge them together.  For
 | 
						|
example, it is useful to merge memcpy(a,b,strlen(b)) -> strcpy.  This can only
 | 
						|
be done safely if "b" isn't modified between the strlen and memcpy of course.
 | 
						|

We compile this program: (from GCC PR11680)
 | 
						|
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=4487
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Into code that runs the same speed in fast/slow modes, but both modes run 2x
 | 
						|
slower than when compile with GCC (either 4.0 or 4.2):
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
$ llvm-g++ perf.cpp -O3 -fno-exceptions
 | 
						|
$ time ./a.out fast
 | 
						|
1.821u 0.003s 0:01.82 100.0%	0+0k 0+0io 0pf+0w
 | 
						|
 |

$ time ./a.out fast
 |

 | 
						|
 |

It looks like we are making the same inlining decisions, so this may be raw
 | 
						|
codegen badness or something else (haven't investigated).

Divisibility by constant can be simplified (according to GCC PR12849) from
 | 
						|
being a mulhi to being a mul lo (cheaper).  Testcase:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
void bar(unsigned n) {
 | 
						|
  if (n % 3 == 0)
 | 
						|
    true();
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This is equivalent to the following, where 2863311531 is the multiplicative
 | 
						|
inverse of 3, and 1431655766 is ((2^32)-1)/3+1:
 | 
						|
void bar(unsigned n) {
 | 
						|
  if (n * 2863311531U < 1431655766U)
 | 
						|
    true();
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The same transformation can work with an even modulo with the addition of a
 | 
						|
rotate: rotate the result of the multiply to the right by the number of bits
 | 
						|
which need to be zero for the condition to be true, and shrink the compare RHS
 | 
						|
by the same amount.  Unless the target supports rotates, though, that
 | 
						|
transformation probably isn't worthwhile.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The transformation can also easily be made to work with non-zero equality
 | 
						|
comparisons: just transform, for example, "n % 3 == 1" to "(n-1) % 3 == 0".
 | 
						|
 |

Better mod/ref analysis for scanf would allow us to eliminate the vtable and a
 | 
						|
bunch of other stuff from this example (see PR1604): 
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
#include <cstdio>
 | 
						|
struct test {
 | 
						|
    int val;
 | 
						|
    virtual ~test() {}
 | 
						|
};
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
int main() {
 | 
						|
    test t;
 | 
						|
    std::scanf("%d", &t.val);
 | 
						|
    std::printf("%d\n", t.val);
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|

This was noticed in the entryblock for grokdeclarator in 403.gcc:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
        %tmp = icmp eq i32 %decl_context, 4          
 | 
						|
        %decl_context_addr.0 = select i1 %tmp, i32 3, i32 %decl_context 
 | 
						|
        %tmp1 = icmp eq i32 %decl_context_addr.0, 1 
 | 
						|
        %decl_context_addr.1 = select i1 %tmp1, i32 0, i32 %decl_context_addr.0
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
tmp1 should be simplified to something like:
 | 
						|
  (!tmp || decl_context == 1)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This allows recursive simplifications, tmp1 is used all over the place in
 | 
						|
the function, e.g. by:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
        %tmp23 = icmp eq i32 %decl_context_addr.1, 0            ; <i1> [#uses=1]
 | 
						|
        %tmp24 = xor i1 %tmp1, true             ; <i1> [#uses=1]
 | 
						|
        %or.cond8 = and i1 %tmp23, %tmp24               ; <i1> [#uses=1]
 | 
						|

[STORE SINKING]
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Store sinking: This code:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
void f (int n, int *cond, int *res) {
 | 
						|
    int i;
 | 
						|
    *res = 0;
 | 
						|
    for (i = 0; i < n; i++)
 | 
						|
        if (*cond)
 | 
						|
            *res ^= 234; /* (*) */
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
On this function GVN hoists the fully redundant value of *res, but nothing
 | 
						|
moves the store out.  This gives us this code:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
bb:		; preds = %bb2, %entry
 | 
						|
	%.rle = phi i32 [ 0, %entry ], [ %.rle6, %bb2 ]	
 | 
						|
	%i.05 = phi i32 [ 0, %entry ], [ %indvar.next, %bb2 ]
 | 
						|
	%1 = load i32* %cond, align 4
 | 
						|
	%2 = icmp eq i32 %1, 0
 | 
						|
	br i1 %2, label %bb2, label %bb1
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
bb1:		; preds = %bb
 | 
						|
	%3 = xor i32 %.rle, 234	
 | 
						|
	store i32 %3, i32* %res, align 4
 | 
						|
	br label %bb2
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
bb2:		; preds = %bb, %bb1
 | 
						|
	%.rle6 = phi i32 [ %3, %bb1 ], [ %.rle, %bb ]	
 | 
						|
	%indvar.next = add i32 %i.05, 1	
 | 
						|
	%exitcond = icmp eq i32 %indvar.next, %n
 | 
						|
	br i1 %exitcond, label %return, label %bb
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
DSE should sink partially dead stores to get the store out of the loop.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Here's another partial dead case:
 | 
						|
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=12395
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
 |

						|
Scalar PRE hoists the mul in the common block up to the else:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
int test (int a, int b, int c, int g) {
 | 
						|
  int d, e;
 | 
						|
  if (a)
 | 
						|
    d = b * c;
 | 
						|
  else
 | 
						|
    d = b - c;
 | 
						|
  e = b * c + g;
 | 
						|
  return d + e;
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
It would be better to do the mul once to reduce codesize above the if.
 | 
						|
This is GCC PR38204.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

This simple function from 179.art:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
int winner, numf2s;
 | 
						|
struct { double y; int   reset; } *Y;
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
void find_match() {
 | 
						|
   int i;
 | 
						|
   winner = 0;
 | 
						|
   for (i=0;i<numf2s;i++)
 | 
						|
       if (Y[i].y > Y[winner].y)
 | 
						|
              winner =i;

}

  %indvar = phi i64 [ 0, %bb.nph ], [ %indvar.next, %for.inc ]
 |

 | 
						|
  %tmp10 = getelementptr inbounds %struct.anon* %tmp3, i64 %idxprom7, i32 0
 | 
						|
  %tmp11 = load double* %tmp10, align 8, !tbaa !4
 |

  %cmp12 = fcmp ogt double %tmp5, %tmp11

  br i1 %cmp12, label %if.then, label %for.inc

  %i.017 = trunc i64 %indvar to i32
 |

  br label %for.inc

  %i.01719 = phi i32 [ %i.01718, %for.body ], [ %i.017, %if.then ]
 |

  %indvar.next = add i64 %indvar, 1
 | 
						|
  %exitcond = icmp eq i64 %indvar.next, %tmp22
 | 
						|
  br i1 %exitcond, label %for.cond.for.end_crit_edge, label %for.body
 |

It is good that we hoisted the reloads of numf2's, and Y out of the loop and
 | 
						|
sunk the store to winner out.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
However, this is awful on several levels: the conditional truncate in the loop
 | 
						|
(-indvars at fault? why can't we completely promote the IV to i64?).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Beyond that, we have a partially redundant load in the loop: if "winner" (aka 
 | 
						|
%i.01718) isn't updated, we reload Y[winner].y the next time through the loop.
 | 
						|
Similarly, the addressing that feeds it (including the sext) is redundant. In
 | 
						|
the end we get this generated assembly:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
LBB0_2:                                 ## %for.body
 | 
						|
                                        ## =>This Inner Loop Header: Depth=1
 | 
						|
	movsd	(%rdi), %xmm0
 | 
						|
	movslq	%edx, %r8
 | 
						|
	shlq	$4, %r8
 | 
						|
	ucomisd	(%rcx,%r8), %xmm0
 | 
						|
	jbe	LBB0_4
 | 
						|
	movl	%esi, %edx
 | 
						|
LBB0_4:                                 ## %for.inc
 | 
						|
	addq	$16, %rdi
 | 
						|
	incq	%rsi
 | 
						|
	cmpq	%rsi, %rax
 | 
						|
	jne	LBB0_2
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
All things considered this isn't too bad, but we shouldn't need the movslq or
 | 
						|
the shlq instruction, or the load folded into ucomisd every time through the
 | 
						|
loop.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
On an x86-specific topic, if the loop can't be restructure, the movl should be a
 | 
						|
cmov.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
 | 
						|
 |

[STORE SINKING]
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
GCC PR37810 is an interesting case where we should sink load/store reload
 | 
						|
into the if block and outside the loop, so we don't reload/store it on the
 | 
						|
non-call path.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
for () {
 | 
						|
  *P += 1;
 | 
						|
  if ()
 | 
						|
    call();
 | 
						|
  else
 | 
						|
    ...
 | 
						|
->
 | 
						|
tmp = *P
 | 
						|
for () {
 | 
						|
  tmp += 1;
 | 
						|
  if () {
 | 
						|
    *P = tmp;
 | 
						|
    call();
 | 
						|
    tmp = *P;
 | 
						|
  } else ...
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
*P = tmp;
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
We now hoist the reload after the call (Transforms/GVN/lpre-call-wrap.ll), but
 | 
						|
we don't sink the store.  We need partially dead store sinking.
 | 
						|

[LOAD PRE CRIT EDGE SPLITTING]
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
GCC PR37166: Sinking of loads prevents SROA'ing the "g" struct on the stack
 | 
						|
leading to excess stack traffic. This could be handled by GVN with some crazy
 | 
						|
symbolic phi translation.  The code we get looks like (g is on the stack):
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
bb2:		; preds = %bb1
 | 
						|
..
 | 
						|
	%9 = getelementptr %struct.f* %g, i32 0, i32 0		
 | 
						|
	store i32 %8, i32* %9, align  bel %bb3
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
bb3:		; preds = %bb1, %bb2, %bb
 | 
						|
	%c_addr.0 = phi %struct.f* [ %g, %bb2 ], [ %c, %bb ], [ %c, %bb1 ]
 | 
						|
	%b_addr.0 = phi %struct.f* [ %b, %bb2 ], [ %g, %bb ], [ %b, %bb1 ]
 | 
						|
	%10 = getelementptr %struct.f* %c_addr.0, i32 0, i32 0
 | 
						|
	%11 = load i32* %10, align 4
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
%11 is partially redundant, an in BB2 it should have the value %8.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
GCC PR33344 and PR35287 are similar cases.

[LOAD PRE]

There are many load PRE testcases in testsuite/gcc.dg/tree-ssa/loadpre* in the

GCC testsuite, ones we don't get yet are (checked through loadpre25):

[LOAD PRE / STORE SINKING / SPEC HACK]
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This is a chunk of code from 456.hmmer:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
int f(int M, int *mc, int *mpp, int *tpmm, int *ip, int *tpim, int *dpp,
 | 
						|
     int *tpdm, int xmb, int *bp, int *ms) {
 | 
						|
 int k, sc;
 | 
						|
 for (k = 1; k <= M; k++) {
 | 
						|
     mc[k] = mpp[k-1]   + tpmm[k-1];
 | 
						|
     if ((sc = ip[k-1]  + tpim[k-1]) > mc[k])  mc[k] = sc;
 | 
						|
     if ((sc = dpp[k-1] + tpdm[k-1]) > mc[k])  mc[k] = sc;
 | 
						|
     if ((sc = xmb  + bp[k])         > mc[k])  mc[k] = sc;
 | 
						|
     mc[k] += ms[k];
 | 
						|
   }
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
It is very profitable for this benchmark to turn the conditional stores to mc[k]
 | 
						|
into a conditional move (select instr in IR) and allow the final store to do the
 | 
						|
store.  See GCC PR27313 for more details.  Note that this is valid to xform even
 | 
						|
with the new C++ memory model, since mc[k] is previously loaded and later
 | 
						|
stored.
 | 
						|

[SCALAR PRE]
 | 
						|
There are many PRE testcases in testsuite/gcc.dg/tree-ssa/ssa-pre-*.c in the
 | 
						|
GCC testsuite.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
There are some interesting cases in testsuite/gcc.dg/tree-ssa/pred-comm* in the
 | 
						|
GCC testsuite.  For example, we get the first example in predcom-1.c, but 
 | 
						|
miss the second one:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
unsigned fib[1000];
 | 
						|
unsigned avg[1000];
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
__attribute__ ((noinline))
 | 
						|
void count_averages(int n) {
 | 
						|
  int i;
 | 
						|
  for (i = 1; i < n; i++)
 | 
						|
    avg[i] = (((unsigned long) fib[i - 1] + fib[i] + fib[i + 1]) / 3) & 0xffff;
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
which compiles into two loads instead of one in the loop.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
predcom-2.c is the same as predcom-1.c
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
predcom-3.c is very similar but needs loads feeding each other instead of
 | 
						|
store->load.
 |

[ALIAS ANALYSIS]
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Type based alias analysis:
 | 
						|
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14705
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
We should do better analysis of posix_memalign.  At the least it should
 | 
						|
no-capture its pointer argument, at best, we should know that the out-value
 | 
						|
result doesn't point to anything (like malloc).  One example of this is in
 | 
						|
SingleSource/Benchmarks/Misc/dt.c
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Interesting missed case because of control flow flattening (should be 2 loads):
 | 
						|
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=26629
 | 
						|
With: llvm-gcc t2.c -S -o - -O0 -emit-llvm | llvm-as | 
 | 
						|
             opt -mem2reg -gvn -instcombine | llvm-dis
 | 
						|
we miss it because we need 1) CRIT EDGE 2) MULTIPLE DIFFERENT
 | 
						|
VALS PRODUCED BY ONE BLOCK OVER DIFFERENT PATHS
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19633
 | 
						|
We could eliminate the branch condition here, loading from null is undefined:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
struct S { int w, x, y, z; };
 | 
						|
struct T { int r; struct S s; };
 | 
						|
void bar (struct S, int);
 | 
						|
void foo (int a, struct T b)
 | 
						|
{
 | 
						|
  struct S *c = 0;
 | 
						|
  if (a)
 | 
						|
    c = &b.s;
 | 
						|
  bar (*c, a);
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
simplifylibcalls should do several optimizations for strspn/strcspn:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
strcspn(x, "a") -> inlined loop for up to 3 letters (similarly for strspn):
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
size_t __strcspn_c3 (__const char *__s, int __reject1, int __reject2,
 | 
						|
                     int __reject3) {
 | 
						|
  register size_t __result = 0;
 | 
						|
  while (__s[__result] != '\0' && __s[__result] != __reject1 &&
 | 
						|
         __s[__result] != __reject2 && __s[__result] != __reject3)
 | 
						|
    ++__result;
 | 
						|
  return __result;
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This should turn into a switch on the character.  See PR3253 for some notes on
 | 
						|
codegen.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
456.hmmer apparently uses strcspn and strspn a lot.  471.omnetpp uses strspn.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
simplifylibcalls should turn these snprintf idioms into memcpy (GCC PR47917)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
char buf1[6], buf2[6], buf3[4], buf4[4];
 | 
						|
int i;
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
int foo (void) {
 | 
						|
  int ret = snprintf (buf1, sizeof buf1, "abcde");
 | 
						|
  ret += snprintf (buf2, sizeof buf2, "abcdef") * 16;
 | 
						|
  ret += snprintf (buf3, sizeof buf3, "%s", i++ < 6 ? "abc" : "def") * 256;
 | 
						|
  ret += snprintf (buf4, sizeof buf4, "%s", i++ > 10 ? "abcde" : "defgh")*4096;
 | 
						|
  return ret;
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
"gas" uses this idiom:
 | 
						|
  else if (strchr ("+-/*%|&^:[]()~", *intel_parser.op_string))
 | 
						|
..
 | 
						|
  else if (strchr ("<>", *intel_parser.op_string)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Those should be turned into a switch.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
252.eon contains this interesting code:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
        %3072 = getelementptr [100 x i8]* %tempString, i32 0, i32 0
 | 
						|
        %3073 = call i8* @strcpy(i8* %3072, i8* %3071) nounwind
 | 
						|
        %strlen = call i32 @strlen(i8* %3072)    ; uses = 1
 | 
						|
        %endptr = getelementptr [100 x i8]* %tempString, i32 0, i32 %strlen
 | 
						|
        call void @llvm.memcpy.i32(i8* %endptr, 
 | 
						|
          i8* getelementptr ([5 x i8]* @"\01LC42", i32 0, i32 0), i32 5, i32 1)
 | 
						|
        %3074 = call i32 @strlen(i8* %endptr) nounwind readonly 
 | 
						|
        
 | 
						|
This is interesting for a couple reasons.  First, in this:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The memcpy+strlen strlen can be replaced with:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
        %3074 = call i32 @strlen([5 x i8]* @"\01LC42") nounwind readonly 
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Because the destination was just copied into the specified memory buffer.  This,
 | 
						|
in turn, can be constant folded to "4".
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
In other code, it contains:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
        %endptr6978 = bitcast i8* %endptr69 to i32*            
 | 
						|
        store i32 7107374, i32* %endptr6978, align 1
 | 
						|
        %3167 = call i32 @strlen(i8* %endptr69) nounwind readonly    
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Which could also be constant folded.  Whatever is producing this should probably
 | 
						|
be fixed to leave this as a memcpy from a string.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Further, eon also has an interesting partially redundant strlen call:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
bb8:            ; preds = %_ZN18eonImageCalculatorC1Ev.exit
 | 
						|
        %682 = getelementptr i8** %argv, i32 6          ; <i8**> [#uses=2]
 | 
						|
        %683 = load i8** %682, align 4          ; <i8*> [#uses=4]
 | 
						|
        %684 = load i8* %683, align 1           ; <i8> [#uses=1]
 | 
						|
        %685 = icmp eq i8 %684, 0               ; <i1> [#uses=1]
 | 
						|
        br i1 %685, label %bb10, label %bb9
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
bb9:            ; preds = %bb8
 | 
						|
        %686 = call i32 @strlen(i8* %683) nounwind readonly          
 | 
						|
        %687 = icmp ugt i32 %686, 254           ; <i1> [#uses=1]
 | 
						|
        br i1 %687, label %bb10, label %bb11
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
bb10:           ; preds = %bb9, %bb8
 | 
						|
        %688 = call i32 @strlen(i8* %683) nounwind readonly          
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This could be eliminated by doing the strlen once in bb8, saving code size and
 | 
						|
improving perf on the bb8->9->10 path.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

I see an interesting fully redundant call to strlen left in 186.crafty:InputMove
 | 
						|
which looks like:
 | 
						|
       %movetext11 = getelementptr [128 x i8]* %movetext, i32 0, i32 0 
 | 
						|
 
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
bb62:           ; preds = %bb55, %bb53
 | 
						|
        %promote.0 = phi i32 [ %169, %bb55 ], [ 0, %bb53 ]             
 | 
						|
        %171 = call i32 @strlen(i8* %movetext11) nounwind readonly align 1
 | 
						|
        %172 = add i32 %171, -1         ; <i32> [#uses=1]
 | 
						|
        %173 = getelementptr [128 x i8]* %movetext, i32 0, i32 %172       
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
...  no stores ...
 | 
						|
       br i1 %or.cond, label %bb65, label %bb72
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
bb65:           ; preds = %bb62
 | 
						|
        store i8 0, i8* %173, align 1
 | 
						|
        br label %bb72
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
bb72:           ; preds = %bb65, %bb62
 | 
						|
        %trank.1 = phi i32 [ %176, %bb65 ], [ -1, %bb62 ]            
 | 
						|
        %177 = call i32 @strlen(i8* %movetext11) nounwind readonly align 1
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Note that on the bb62->bb72 path, that the %177 strlen call is partially
 | 
						|
redundant with the %171 call.  At worst, we could shove the %177 strlen call
 | 
						|
up into the bb65 block moving it out of the bb62->bb72 path.   However, note
 | 
						|
that bb65 stores to the string, zeroing out the last byte.  This means that on
 | 
						|
that path the value of %177 is actually just %171-1.  A sub is cheaper than a
 | 
						|
strlen!
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This pattern repeats several times, basically doing:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  A = strlen(P);
 | 
						|
  P[A-1] = 0;
 | 
						|
  B = strlen(P);
 | 
						|
  where it is "obvious" that B = A-1.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
186.crafty has this interesting pattern with the "out.4543" variable:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
call void @llvm.memcpy.i32(
 | 
						|
        i8* getelementptr ([10 x i8]* @out.4543, i32 0, i32 0),
 | 
						|
       i8* getelementptr ([7 x i8]* @"\01LC28700", i32 0, i32 0), i32 7, i32 1) 
 | 
						|
%101 = call@printf(i8* ...   @out.4543, i32 0, i32 0)) nounwind 
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
It is basically doing:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  memcpy(globalarray, "string");
 | 
						|
  printf(...,  globalarray);
 | 
						|
  
 | 
						|
Anyway, by knowing that printf just reads the memory and forward substituting
 | 
						|
the string directly into the printf, this eliminates reads from globalarray.
 | 
						|
Since this pattern occurs frequently in crafty (due to the "DisplayTime" and
 | 
						|
other similar functions) there are many stores to "out".  Once all the printfs
 | 
						|
stop using "out", all that is left is the memcpy's into it.  This should allow
 | 
						|
globalopt to remove the "stored only" global.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This code:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
define inreg i32 @foo(i8* inreg %p) nounwind {
 | 
						|
  %tmp0 = load i8* %p
 | 
						|
  %tmp1 = ashr i8 %tmp0, 5
 | 
						|
  %tmp2 = sext i8 %tmp1 to i32
 | 
						|
  ret i32 %tmp2
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
could be dagcombine'd to a sign-extending load with a shift.
 | 
						|
For example, on x86 this currently gets this:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	movb	(%eax), %al
 | 
						|
	sarb	$5, %al
 | 
						|
	movsbl	%al, %eax
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
while it could get this:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	movsbl	(%eax), %eax
 | 
						|
	sarl	$5, %eax
 | 
						|
 | 
						|

GCC PR31029:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
int test(int x) { return 1-x == x; }     // --> return false
 | 
						|
int test2(int x) { return 2-x == x; }    // --> return x == 1 ?
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Always foldable for odd constants, what is the rule for even?

PR 3381: GEP to field of size 0 inside a struct could be turned into GEP
 |

for next field in struct (which is at same address).

For example: store of float into { {{}}, float } could be turned into a store to

the float directly.

The following functions should be optimized to use a select instead of a
 | 
						|
branch (from gcc PR40072):
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
char char_int(int m) {if(m>7) return 0; return m;}
 | 
						|
int int_char(char m) {if(m>7) return 0; return m;}

int func(int a, int b) { if (a & 0x80) b |= 0x80; else b &= ~0x80; return b; }
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Generates this:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
define i32 @func(i32 %a, i32 %b) nounwind readnone ssp {
 | 
						|
entry:
 | 
						|
  %0 = and i32 %a, 128                            ; <i32> [#uses=1]
 | 
						|
  %1 = icmp eq i32 %0, 0                          ; <i1> [#uses=1]
 | 
						|
  %2 = or i32 %b, 128                             ; <i32> [#uses=1]
 | 
						|
  %3 = and i32 %b, -129                           ; <i32> [#uses=1]
 | 
						|
  %b_addr.0 = select i1 %1, i32 %3, i32 %2        ; <i32> [#uses=1]
 | 
						|
  ret i32 %b_addr.0
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
However, it's functionally equivalent to:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
         b = (b & ~0x80) | (a & 0x80);
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Which generates this:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
define i32 @func(i32 %a, i32 %b) nounwind readnone ssp {
 | 
						|
entry:
 | 
						|
  %0 = and i32 %b, -129                           ; <i32> [#uses=1]
 | 
						|
  %1 = and i32 %a, 128                            ; <i32> [#uses=1]
 | 
						|
  %2 = or i32 %0, %1                              ; <i32> [#uses=1]
 | 
						|
  ret i32 %2
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This can be generalized for other forms:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
     b = (b & ~0x80) | (a & 0x40) << 1;
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

IPSCCP does not currently propagate argument dependent constants through
 | 
						|
functions where it does not not all of the callers.  This includes functions
 | 
						|
with normal external linkage as well as templates, C99 inline functions etc.
 | 
						|
Specifically, it does nothing to:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
define i32 @test(i32 %x, i32 %y, i32 %z) nounwind {
 | 
						|
entry:
 | 
						|
  %0 = add nsw i32 %y, %z                         
 | 
						|
  %1 = mul i32 %0, %x                             
 | 
						|
  %2 = mul i32 %y, %z                             
 | 
						|
  %3 = add nsw i32 %1, %2                         
 | 
						|
  ret i32 %3
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
define i32 @test2() nounwind {
 | 
						|
entry:
 | 
						|
  %0 = call i32 @test(i32 1, i32 2, i32 4) nounwind
 | 
						|
  ret i32 %0
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
It would be interesting extend IPSCCP to be able to handle simple cases like
 | 
						|
this, where all of the arguments to a call are constant.  Because IPSCCP runs
 | 
						|
before inlining, trivial templates and inline functions are not yet inlined.
 | 
						|
The results for a function + set of constant arguments should be memoized in a
 | 
						|
map.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The libcall constant folding stuff should be moved out of SimplifyLibcalls into
 | 
						|
libanalysis' constantfolding logic.  This would allow IPSCCP to be able to
 | 
						|
handle simple things like this:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
static int foo(const char *X) { return strlen(X); }

functionattrs doesn't know much about memcpy/memset.  This function should be
 | 
						|
marked readnone rather than readonly, since it only twiddles local memory, but
 | 
						|
functionattrs doesn't handle memset/memcpy/memmove aggressively:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
struct X { int *p; int *q; };
 | 
						|
int foo() {
 | 
						|
 int i = 0, j = 1;
 | 
						|
 struct X x, y;
 | 
						|
 int **p;
 | 
						|
 y.p = &i;
 | 
						|
 x.q = &j;
 | 
						|
 p = __builtin_memcpy (&x, &y, sizeof (int *));
 | 
						|
 return **p;
 | 
						|
}

Missed instcombine transformation:
 | 
						|
define i1 @a(i32 %x) nounwind readnone {
 | 
						|
entry:
 | 
						|
  %cmp = icmp eq i32 %x, 30
 | 
						|
  %sub = add i32 %x, -30
 | 
						|
  %cmp2 = icmp ugt i32 %sub, 9
 | 
						|
  %or = or i1 %cmp, %cmp2
 | 
						|
  ret i1 %or
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
This should be optimized to a single compare.  Testcase derived from gcc.

int a(int a, int b) { return (a==12)&(b>47)&(b<58); }

The sgt and slt should be combined into a single comparison. Testcase derived

Missed instcombine transformation:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  %382 = srem i32 %tmp14.i, 64                    ; [#uses=1]
 | 
						|
  %383 = zext i32 %382 to i64                     ; [#uses=1]

 | 
						|
  %385 = icmp slt i32 %tmp14.i, 64                ; [#uses=1]
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The srem can be transformed to an and because if %tmp14.i is negative, the
 | 
						|
shift is undefined.  Testcase derived from 403.gcc.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This is a range comparison on a divided result (from 403.gcc):
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  %1337 = sdiv i32 %1336, 8                       ; [#uses=1]
 | 
						|
  %.off.i208 = add i32 %1336, 7                   ; [#uses=1]
 | 
						|
  %1338 = icmp ult i32 %.off.i208, 15             ; [#uses=1]
 | 
						|
  
 | 
						|
We already catch this (removing the sdiv) if there isn't an add, we should
 | 
						|
handle the 'add' as well.  This is a common idiom with it's builtin_alloca code.
 | 
						|
C testcase:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
int a(int x) { return (unsigned)(x/16+7) < 15; }
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Another similar case involves truncations on 64-bit targets:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  %361 = sdiv i64 %.046, 8                        ; [#uses=1]
 | 
						|
  %362 = trunc i64 %361 to i32                    ; [#uses=2]
 | 
						|
...
 | 
						|
  %367 = icmp eq i32 %362, 0                      ; [#uses=1]
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Missed instcombine/dagcombine transformation:
 | 
						|
define void @lshift_lt(i8 zeroext %a) nounwind {
 | 
						|
entry:
 | 
						|
  %conv = zext i8 %a to i32
 | 
						|
  %shl = shl i32 %conv, 3
 | 
						|
  %cmp = icmp ult i32 %shl, 33
 | 
						|
  br i1 %cmp, label %if.then, label %if.end
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
if.then:
 | 
						|
  tail call void @bar() nounwind
 |

  ret void
 | 
						|
 |

if.end:
 | 
						|
  ret void
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
declare void @bar() nounwind
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The shift should be eliminated.  Testcase derived from gcc.

These compile into different code, one gets recognized as a switch and the
 | 
						|
other doesn't due to phase ordering issues (PR6212):

int test1(int mainType, int subType) {

  if (mainType == 7)
 | 
						|
    subType = 4;

    subType = 6;
 |

  else if (mainType == 11)

    subType = 9;
 |

    subType = 9;

The following test case (from PR6576):
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
define i32 @mul(i32 %a, i32 %b) nounwind readnone {
 | 
						|
entry:
 | 
						|
 %cond1 = icmp eq i32 %b, 0                      ; <i1> [#uses=1]
 | 
						|
 br i1 %cond1, label %exit, label %bb.nph
 | 
						|
bb.nph:                                           ; preds = %entry
 | 
						|
 %tmp = mul i32 %b, %a                           ; <i32> [#uses=1]
 | 
						|
 ret i32 %tmp
 | 
						|
exit:                                             ; preds = %entry
 | 
						|
 ret i32 0
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
could be reduced to:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
define i32 @mul(i32 %a, i32 %b) nounwind readnone {
 | 
						|
entry:
 | 
						|
 %tmp = mul i32 %b, %a
 | 
						|
 ret i32 %tmp
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

We should use DSE + llvm.lifetime.end to delete dead vtable pointer updates.
 | 
						|
See GCC PR34949
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Another interesting case is that something related could be used for variables
 | 
						|
that go const after their ctor has finished.  In these cases, globalopt (which
 | 
						|
can statically run the constructor) could mark the global const (so it gets put
 | 
						|
in the readonly section).  A testcase would be:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
#include <complex>
 | 
						|
using namespace std;
 | 
						|
const complex<char> should_be_in_rodata (42,-42);
 | 
						|
complex<char> should_be_in_data (42,-42);
 | 
						|
complex<char> should_be_in_bss;
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Where we currently evaluate the ctors but the globals don't become const because
 | 
						|
the optimizer doesn't know they "become const" after the ctor is done.  See
 | 
						|
GCC PR4131 for more examples.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
In this code:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
long foo(long x) {
 | 
						|
  return x > 1 ? x : 1;
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
LLVM emits a comparison with 1 instead of 0. 0 would be equivalent
 | 
						|
and cheaper on most targets.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
LLVM prefers comparisons with zero over non-zero in general, but in this
 | 
						|
case it choses instead to keep the max operation obvious.

						|
.LBB0_3:

	jmp	foo  # TAILCALL
 | 
						|
 |

If we wanted to be really clever, we could simplify the whole thing to
 | 
						|
something like the following, which eliminates a branch:
 | 
						|
	xorl    $1, %edi
 | 
						|
	cmpl	$4, %edi
 |

	ja	.LBB0_2

We compile this:

int foo(int a) { return (a & (~15)) / 16; }
 |

Into:
 |

  %and = and i32 %a, -16
 | 
						|
  %div = sdiv i32 %and, 16
 | 
						|
  ret i32 %div
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
but this code (X & -A)/A is X >> log2(A) when A is a power of 2, so this case
 | 
						|
should be instcombined into just "a >> 4".
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
We do get this at the codegen level, so something knows about it, but 
 | 
						|
instcombine should catch it earlier:
 | 
						|
 |

This code can be seen in viterbi:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  %64 = call noalias i8* @malloc(i64 %62) nounwind
 | 
						|
...
 | 
						|
  %67 = call i64 @llvm.objectsize.i64(i8* %64, i1 false) nounwind
 | 
						|
  %68 = call i8* @__memset_chk(i8* %64, i32 0, i64 %62, i64 %67) nounwind
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
llvm.objectsize.i64 should be taught about malloc/calloc, allowing it to
 | 
						|
fold to %62.  This is a security win (overflows of malloc will get caught)
 | 
						|
and also a performance win by exposing more memsets to the optimizer.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This occurs several times in viterbi.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Note that this would change the semantics of @llvm.objectsize which by its
 | 
						|
current definition always folds to a constant. We also should make sure that
 | 
						|
we remove checking in code like
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  char *p = malloc(strlen(s)+1);
 | 
						|
  __strcpy_chk(p, s, __builtin_objectsize(p, 0));

This is just the handling the construction of the vector. Most surprising here

is the fact that all three null stores in %entry are dead (because we do no

cross-block DSE).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Also surprising is that %conv isn't simplified to 0 in %....exit.thread.i.i.
 |

This is a because the client of LazyValueInfo doesn't simplify all instruction
 | 
						|
operands, just selected ones.

This shouldn't need the ((zext (%n - 1)) + 1) game, and it should ideally fold
 | 
						|
the two memset's together.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The issue with the addition only occurs in 64-bit mode, and appears to be at
 | 
						|
least partially caused by Scalar Evolution not keeping its cache updated: it
 | 
						|
returns the "wrong" result immediately after indvars runs, but figures out the
 | 
						|
expected result if it is run from scratch on IR resulting from running indvars.
 | 
						|

clang -O3 -fno-exceptions currently compiles this code:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
struct S {
 | 
						|
  unsigned short m1, m2;
 | 
						|
  unsigned char m3, m4;
 | 
						|
};
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
void f(int N) {
 | 
						|
  std::vector<S> v(N);
 | 
						|
  extern void sink(void*); sink(&v);
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
into poor code for zero-initializing 'v' when N is >0. The problem is that
 | 
						|
S is only 6 bytes, but each element is 8 byte-aligned. We generate a loop and
 | 
						|
4 stores on each iteration. If the struct were 8 bytes, this gets turned into
 | 
						|
a memset.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
In order to handle this we have to:
 | 
						|
  A) Teach clang to generate metadata for memsets of structs that have holes in
 | 
						|
     them.
 | 
						|
  B) Teach clang to use such a memset for zero init of this struct (since it has
 | 
						|
     a hole), instead of doing elementwise zeroing.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

clang -O3 currently compiles this code:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
extern const int magic;
 | 
						|
double f() { return 0.0 * magic; }
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
into
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
@magic = external constant i32
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
define double @_Z1fv() nounwind readnone {
 | 
						|
entry:
 | 
						|
  %tmp = load i32* @magic, align 4, !tbaa !0
 | 
						|
  %conv = sitofp i32 %tmp to double
 | 
						|
  %mul = fmul double %conv, 0.000000e+00
 | 
						|
  ret double %mul
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
We should be able to fold away this fmul to 0.0.  More generally, fmul(x,0.0)
 | 
						|
can be folded to 0.0 if we can prove that the LHS is not -0.0, not a NaN, and
 | 
						|
not an INF.  The CannotBeNegativeZero predicate in value tracking should be
 | 
						|
extended to support general "fpclassify" operations that can return 
 | 
						|
yes/no/unknown for each of these predicates.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
In this predicate, we know that uitofp is trivially never NaN or -0.0, and
 | 
						|
we know that it isn't +/-Inf if the floating point type has enough exponent bits
 | 
						|
to represent the largest integer value as < inf.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
When optimizing a transformation that can change the sign of 0.0 (such as the
 | 
						|
0.0*val -> 0.0 transformation above), it might be provable that the sign of the
 | 
						|
expression doesn't matter.  For example, by the above rules, we can't transform
 | 
						|
fmul(sitofp(x), 0.0) into 0.0, because x might be -1 and the result of the
 | 
						|
expression is defined to be -0.0.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
If we look at the uses of the fmul for example, we might be able to prove that
 | 
						|
all uses don't care about the sign of zero.  For example, if we have:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  fadd(fmul(sitofp(x), 0.0), 2.0)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Since we know that x+2.0 doesn't care about the sign of any zeros in X, we can
 | 
						|
transform the fmul to 0.0, and then the fadd to 2.0.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
We should enhance memcpy/memcpy/memset to allow a metadata node on them
 | 
						|
indicating that some bytes of the transfer are undefined.  This is useful for
 | 
						|
frontends like clang when lowering struct copies, when some elements of the
 | 
						|
struct are undefined.  Consider something like this:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
struct x {
 | 
						|
  char a;
 | 
						|
  int b[4];
 | 
						|
};
 | 
						|
void foo(struct x*P);
 | 
						|
struct x testfunc() {
 | 
						|
  struct x V1, V2;
 | 
						|
  foo(&V1);
 | 
						|
  V2 = V1;
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  return V2;
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
We currently compile this to:
 | 
						|
$ clang t.c -S -o - -O0 -emit-llvm | opt -scalarrepl -S
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
%struct.x = type { i8, [4 x i32] }
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
define void @testfunc(%struct.x* sret %agg.result) nounwind ssp {
 | 
						|
entry:
 | 
						|
  %V1 = alloca %struct.x, align 4
 | 
						|
  call void @foo(%struct.x* %V1)
 | 
						|
  %tmp1 = bitcast %struct.x* %V1 to i8*
 | 
						|
  %0 = bitcast %struct.x* %V1 to i160*
 | 
						|
  %srcval1 = load i160* %0, align 4
 | 
						|
  %tmp2 = bitcast %struct.x* %agg.result to i8*
 | 
						|
  %1 = bitcast %struct.x* %agg.result to i160*
 | 
						|
  store i160 %srcval1, i160* %1, align 4
 | 
						|
  ret void
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This happens because SRoA sees that the temp alloca has is being memcpy'd into
 | 
						|
and out of and it has holes and it has to be conservative.  If we knew about the
 | 
						|
holes, then this could be much much better.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Having information about these holes would also improve memcpy (etc) lowering at
 | 
						|
llc time when it gets inlined, because we can use smaller transfers.  This also
 | 
						|
avoids partial register stalls in some important cases.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
We don't fold (icmp (add) (add)) unless the two adds only have a single use.
 | 
						|
There are a lot of cases that we're refusing to fold in (e.g.) 256.bzip2, for
 | 
						|
example:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 %indvar.next90 = add i64 %indvar89, 1     ;; Has 2 uses
 | 
						|
 %tmp96 = add i64 %tmp95, 1                ;; Has 1 use
 | 
						|
 %exitcond97 = icmp eq i64 %indvar.next90, %tmp96
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
We don't fold this because we don't want to introduce an overlapped live range
 | 
						|
of the ivar.  However if we can make this more aggressive without causing
 | 
						|
performance issues in two ways:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
1. If *either* the LHS or RHS has a single use, we can definitely do the
 | 
						|
   transformation.  In the overlapping liverange case we're trading one register
 | 
						|
   use for one fewer operation, which is a reasonable trade.  Before doing this
 | 
						|
   we should verify that the llc output actually shrinks for some benchmarks.
 | 
						|
2. If both ops have multiple uses, we can still fold it if the operations are
 | 
						|
   both sinkable to *after* the icmp (e.g. in a subsequent block) which doesn't
 | 
						|
   increase register pressure.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
There are a ton of icmp's we aren't simplifying because of the reg pressure
 | 
						|
concern.  Care is warranted here though because many of these are induction
 | 
						|
variables and other cases that matter a lot to performance, like the above.
 | 
						|
Here's a blob of code that you can drop into the bottom of visitICmp to see some
 | 
						|
missed cases:
 | 
						|

						|
  { Value *A, *B, *C, *D;

 |

   f.f2(a);

 }
 |

}
 |

 |

which we compile to:

I see this sort of pattern in 176.gcc in a few places (e.g. the start of
 | 
						|
store_bit_field).  The rem should be replaced with a multiply and subtract:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  %3 = sdiv i32 %A, %B
 | 
						|
  %4 = srem i32 %A, %B
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Similarly for udiv/urem.  Note that this shouldn't be done on X86 or ARM,
 | 
						|
which can do this in a single operation (instruction or libcall).  It is
 | 
						|
probably best to do this in the code generator.
