1 Target Independent Opportunities:
2
3 //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
4
5 We should recognized various "overflow detection" idioms and translate them into
6 llvm.uadd.with.overflow and similar intrinsics. Here is a multiply idiom:
7
8 unsigned int mul(unsigned int a,unsigned int b) {
9 if ((unsigned long long)a*b>0xffffffff)
10 exit(0);
11 return a*b;
12 }
13
14 The legalization code for mul-with-overflow needs to be made more robust before
15 this can be implemented though.
16
17 //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
18
19 Get the C front-end to expand hypot(x,y) -> llvm.sqrt(x*x+y*y) when errno and
20 precision don't matter (ffastmath). Misc/mandel will like this. :) This isn't
21 safe in general, even on darwin. See the libm implementation of hypot for
22 examples (which special case when x/y are exactly zero to get signed zeros etc
23 right).
24
25 //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
26
27 On targets with expensive 64-bit multiply, we could LSR this:
28
29 for (i = ...; ++i) {
30 x = 1ULL << i;
31
32 into:
33 long long tmp = 1;
34 for (i = ...; ++i, tmp+=tmp)
35 x = tmp;
36
37 This would be a win on ppc32, but not x86 or ppc64.
38
39 //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
40
41 Shrink: (setlt (loadi32 P), 0) -> (setlt (loadi8 Phi), 0)
42
43 //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
44
45 Reassociate should turn things like:
46
47 int factorial(int X) {
48 return X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X;
49 }
50
51 into llvm.powi calls, allowing the code generator to produce balanced
52 multiplication trees.
53
54 First, the intrinsic needs to be extended to support integers, and second the
55 code generator needs to be enhanced to lower these to multiplication trees.
56
57 //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
58
59 Interesting? testcase for add/shift/mul reassoc:
60
61 int bar(int x, int y) {
62 return x*x*x+y+x*x*x*x*x*y*y*y*y;
63 }
64 int foo(int z, int n) {
65 return bar(z, n) + bar(2*z, 2*n);
66 }
67
68 This is blocked on not handling X*X*X -> powi(X, 3) (see note above). The issue
69 is that we end up getting t = 2*X s = t*t and don't turn this into 4*X*X,
70 which is the same number of multiplies and is canonical, because the 2*X has
71 multiple uses. Here's a simple example:
72
73 define i32 @test15(i32 %X1) {
74 %B = mul i32 %X1, 47 ; X1*47
75 %C = mul i32 %B, %B
76 ret i32 %C
77 }
78
79
80 //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
81
82 Reassociate should handle the example in GCC PR16157:
83
84 extern int a0, a1, a2, a3, a4; extern int b0, b1, b2, b3, b4;
85 void f () { /* this can be optimized to four additions... */
86 b4 = a4 + a3 + a2 + a1 + a0;
87 b3 = a3 + a2 + a1 + a0;
88 b2 = a2 + a1 + a0;
89 b1 = a1 + a0;
90 }
91
92 This requires reassociating to forms of expressions that are already available,
93 something that reassoc doesn't think about yet.
94
95
96 //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
97
98 This function: (derived from GCC PR19988)
99 double foo(double x, double y) {
100 return ((x + 0.1234 * y) * (x + -0.1234 * y));
101 }
102
103 compiles to:
104 _foo:
105 movapd %xmm1, %xmm2
106 mulsd LCPI1_1(%rip), %xmm1
107 mulsd LCPI1_0(%rip), %xmm2
108 addsd %xmm0, %xmm1
109 addsd %xmm0, %xmm2
110 movapd %xmm1, %xmm0
111 mulsd %xmm2, %xmm0
112 ret
113
114 Reassociate should be able to turn it into:
115
116 double foo(double x, double y) {
117 return ((x + 0.1234 * y) * (x - 0.1234 * y));
118 }
119
120 Which allows the multiply by constant to be CSE'd, producing:
121
122 _foo:
123 mulsd LCPI1_0(%rip), %xmm1
124 movapd %xmm1, %xmm2
125 addsd %xmm0, %xmm2
126 subsd %xmm1, %xmm0
127 mulsd %xmm2, %xmm0
128 ret
129
130 This doesn't need -ffast-math support at all. This is particularly bad because
131 the llvm-gcc frontend is canonicalizing the later into the former, but clang
132 doesn't have this problem.
133
134 //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
135
136 These two functions should generate the same code on big-endian systems:
137
138 int g(int *j,int *l) { return memcmp(j,l,4); }
139 int h(int *j, int *l) { return *j - *l; }
140
141 this could be done in SelectionDAGISel.cpp, along with other special cases,
142 for 1,2,4,8 bytes.
143
144 //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
145
146 It would be nice to revert this patch:
147 http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/llvm-commits/Week-of-Mon-20060213/031986.html
148
149 And teach the dag combiner enough to simplify the code expanded before
150 legalize. It seems plausible that this knowledge would let it simplify other
151 stuff too.
152
153 //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
154
155 For vector types, DataLayout.cpp::getTypeInfo() returns alignment that is equal
156 to the type size. It works but can be overly conservative as the alignment of
157 specific vector types are target dependent.
158
159 //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
160
161 We should produce an unaligned load from code like this:
162
163 v4sf example(float *P) {
164 return (v4sf){P[0], P[1], P[2], P[3] };
165 }
166
167 //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
168
169 Add support for conditional increments, and other related patterns. Instead
170 of:
171
172 movl 136(%esp), %eax
173 cmpl $0, %eax
174 je LBB16_2 #cond_next
175 LBB16_1: #cond_true
176 incl _foo
177 LBB16_2: #cond_next
178
179 emit:
180 movl _foo, %eax
181 cmpl $1, %edi
182 sbbl $-1, %eax
183 movl %eax, _foo
184
185 //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
186
187 Combine: a = sin(x), b = cos(x) into a,b = sincos(x).
188
189 Expand these to calls of sin/cos and stores:
190 double sincos(double x, double *sin, double *cos);
191 float sincosf(float x, float *sin, float *cos);
192 long double sincosl(long double x, long double *sin, long double *cos);
193
194 Doing so could allow SROA of the destination pointers. See also:
195 http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17687
196
197 This is now easily doable with MRVs. We could even make an intrinsic for this
198 if anyone cared enough about sincos.
199
200 //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
201
202 quantum_sigma_x in 462.libquantum contains the following loop:
203
204 for(i=0; i<reg->size; i++)
205 {
206 /* Flip the target bit of each basis state */
207 reg->node[i].state ^= ((MAX_UNSIGNED) 1 << target);
208 }
209
210 Where MAX_UNSIGNED/state is a 64-bit int. On a 32-bit platform it would be just
211 so cool to turn it into something like:
212
213 long long Res = ((MAX_UNSIGNED) 1 << target);
214 if (target < 32) {
215 for(i=0; i<reg->size; i++)
216 reg->node[i].state ^= Res & 0xFFFFFFFFULL;
217 } else {
218 for(i=0; i<reg->size; i++)
219 reg->node[i].state ^= Res & 0xFFFFFFFF00000000ULL
220 }
221
222 ... which would only do one 32-bit XOR per loop iteration instead of two.
223
224 It would also be nice to recognize the reg->size doesn't alias reg->node[i], but
225 this requires TBAA.
226
227 //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
228
229 This isn't recognized as bswap by instcombine (yes, it really is bswap):
230
231 unsigned long reverse(unsigned v) {
232 unsigned t;
233 t = v ^ ((v << 16) | (v >> 16));
234 t &= ~0xff0000;
235 v = (v << 24) | (v >> 8);
236 return v ^ (t >> 8);
237 }
238
239 //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
240
241 [LOOP DELETION]
242
243 We don't delete this output free loop, because trip count analysis doesn't
244 realize that it is finite (if it were infinite, it would be undefined). Not
245 having this blocks Loop Idiom from matching strlen and friends.
246
247 void foo(char *C) {
248 int x = 0;
249 while (*C)
250 ++x,++C;
251 }
252
253 //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
254
255 [LOOP RECOGNITION]
256
257 These idioms should be recognized as popcount (see PR1488):
258
259 unsigned countbits_slow(unsigned v) {
260 unsigned c;
261 for (c = 0; v; v >>= 1)
262 c += v & 1;
263 return c;
264 }
265
266 unsigned int popcount(unsigned int input) {
267 unsigned int count = 0;
268 for (unsigned int i = 0; i < 4 * 8; i++)
269 count += (input >> i) & i;
270 return count;
271 }
272
273 This should be recognized as CLZ: rdar://8459039
274
275 unsigned clz_a(unsigned a) {
276 int i;
277 for (i=0;i<32;i++)
278 if (a & (1<<(31-i)))
279 return i;
280 return 32;
281 }
282
283 This sort of thing should be added to the loop idiom pass.
284
285 //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
286
287 These should turn into single 16-bit (unaligned?) loads on little/big endian
288 processors.
289
290 unsigned short read_16_le(const unsigned char *adr) {
291 return adr[0] | (adr[1] << 8);
292 }
293 unsigned short read_16_be(const unsigned char *adr) {
294 return (adr[0] << 8) | adr[1];
295 }
296
297 //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
298
299 -instcombine should handle this transform:
300 icmp pred (sdiv X / C1 ), C2
301 when X, C1, and C2 are unsigned. Similarly for udiv and signed operands.
302
303 Currently InstCombine avoids this transform but will do it when the signs of
304 the operands and the sign of the divide match. See the FIXME in
305 InstructionCombining.cpp in the visitSetCondInst method after the switch case
306 for Instruction::UDiv (around line 4447) for more details.
307
308 The SingleSource/Benchmarks/Shootout-C++/hash and hash2 tests have examples of
309 this construct.
310
311 //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
312
313 [LOOP OPTIMIZATION]
314
315 SingleSource/Benchmarks/Misc/dt.c shows several interesting optimization
316 opportunities in its double_array_divs_variable function: it needs loop
317 interchange, memory promotion (which LICM already does), vectorization and
318 variable trip count loop unrolling (since it has a constant trip count). ICC
319 apparently produces this very nice code with -ffast-math:
320
321 ..B1.70: # Preds ..B1.70 ..B1.69
322 mulpd %xmm0, %xmm1 #108.2
323 mulpd %xmm0, %xmm1 #108.2
324 mulpd %xmm0, %xmm1 #108.2
325 mulpd %xmm0, %xmm1 #108.2
326 addl $8, %edx #
327 cmpl $131072, %edx #108.2
328 jb ..B1.70 # Prob 99% #108.2
329
330 It would be better to count down to zero, but this is a lot better than what we
331 do.
332
333 //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
334
335 Consider:
336
337 typedef unsigned U32;
338 typedef unsigned long long U64;
339 int test (U32 *inst, U64 *regs) {
340 U64 effective_addr2;
341 U32 temp = *inst;
342 int r1 = (temp >> 20) & 0xf;
343 int b2 = (temp >> 16) & 0xf;
344 effective_addr2 = temp & 0xfff;
345 if (b2) effective_addr2 += regs[b2];
346 b2 = (temp >> 12) & 0xf;
347 if (b2) effective_addr2 += regs[b2];
348 effective_addr2 &= regs[4];
349 if ((effective_addr2 & 3) == 0)
350 return 1;
351 return 0;
352 }
353
354 Note that only the low 2 bits of effective_addr2 are used. On 32-bit systems,
355 we don't eliminate the computation of the top half of effective_addr2 because
356 we don't have whole-function selection dags. On x86, this means we use one
357 extra register for the function when effective_addr2 is declared as U64 than
358 when it is declared U32.
359
360 PHI Slicing could be extended to do this.
361
362 //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
363
364 Tail call elim should be more aggressive, checking to see if the call is
365 followed by an uncond branch to an exit block.
366
367 ; This testcase is due to tail-duplication not wanting to copy the return
368 ; instruction into the terminating blocks because there was other code
369 ; optimized out of the function after the taildup happened.
370 ; RUN: llvm-as < %s | opt -tailcallelim | llvm-dis | not grep call
371
372 define i32 @t4(i32 %a) {
373 entry:
374 %tmp.1 = and i32 %a, 1 ; <i32> [#uses=1]
375 %tmp.2 = icmp ne i32 %tmp.1, 0 ; <i1> [#uses=1]
376 br i1 %tmp.2, label %then.0, label %else.0
377
378 then.0: ; preds = %entry
379 %tmp.5 = add i32 %a, -1 ; <i32> [#uses=1]

391

395 ret i32 %result.0
396 }
397
398 //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
399
400 Tail recursion elimination should handle:
401
402 int pow2m1(int n) {
403 if (n == 0)
404 return 0;
405 return 2 * pow2m1 (n - 1) + 1;
406 }
407
408 Also, multiplies can be turned into SHL's, so they should be handled as if
409 they were associative. "return foo() << 1" can be tail recursion eliminated.
410
411 //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
412
413 Argument promotion should promote arguments for recursive functions, like
414 this:
415
416 ; RUN: llvm-as < %s | opt -argpromotion | llvm-dis | grep x.val
417
418 define internal i32 @foo(i32* %x) {
419 entry:
420 %tmp = load i32* %x ; <i32> [#uses=0]
421 %tmp.foo = call i32 @foo( i32* %x ) ; <i32> [#uses=1]
422 ret i32 %tmp.foo
423 }
424
425 define i32 @bar(i32* %x) {
426 entry:
427 %tmp3 = call i32 @foo( i32* %x ) ; <i32> [#uses=1]
428 ret i32 %tmp3
429 }
430
431 //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
432
433 We should investigate an instruction sinking pass. Consider this silly
434 example in pic mode:
435
436 #include <assert.h>
437 void foo(int x) {
438 assert(x);
439 //...
440 }
441
442 we compile this to:
443 _foo:
444 subl $28, %esp
445 call "L1$pb"
446 "L1$pb":
447 popl %eax
448 cmpl $0, 32(%esp)
449 je LBB1_2 # cond_true
450 LBB1_1: # return
451 # ...
452 addl $28, %esp
453 ret
454 LBB1_2: # cond_true
455 ...
456
457 The PIC base computation (call+popl) is only used on one path through the
458 code, but is currently always computed in the entry block. It would be
459 better to sink the picbase computation down into the block for the
460 assertion, as it is the only one that uses it. This happens for a lot of
461 code with early outs.
462
463 Another example is loads of arguments, which are usually emitted into the
464 entry block on targets like x86. If not used in all paths through a
465 function, they should be sunk into the ones that do.
466
467 In this case, whole-function-isel would also handle this.
468
469 //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
470
471 Investigate lowering of sparse switch statements into perfect hash tables:
472 http://burtleburtle.net/bob/hash/perfect.html
473
474 //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
475
476 We should turn things like "load+fabs+store" and "load+fneg+store" into the
477 corresponding integer operations. On a yonah, this loop:
478
479 double a[256];
480 void foo() {
481 int i, b;
482 for (b = 0; b < 10000000; b++)
483 for (i = 0; i < 256; i++)
484 a[i] = -a[i];
485 }
486
487 is twice as slow as this loop:
488
489 long long a[256];
490 void foo() {
491 int i, b;
492 for (b = 0; b < 10000000; b++)
493 for (i = 0; i < 256; i++)
494 a[i] ^= (1ULL << 63);
495 }
496
497 and I suspect other processors are similar. On X86 in particular this is a
498 big win because doing this with integers allows the use of read/modify/write
499 instructions.
500
501 //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
502
503 DAG Combiner should try to combine small loads into larger loads when
504 profitable. For example, we compile this C++ example:
505
506 struct THotKey { short Key; bool Control; bool Shift; bool Alt; };
507 extern THotKey m_HotKey;
508 THotKey GetHotKey () { return m_HotKey; }
509
510 into (-m64 -O3 -fno-exceptions -static -fomit-frame-pointer):
511
512 __Z9GetHotKeyv: ## @_Z9GetHotKeyv
513 movq _m_HotKey@GOTPCREL(%rip), %rax
514 movzwl (%rax), %ecx
515 movzbl 2(%rax), %edx
516 shlq $16, %rdx
517 orq %rcx, %rdx
518 movzbl 3(%rax), %ecx
519 shlq $24, %rcx
520 orq %rdx, %rcx
521 movzbl 4(%rax), %eax
522 shlq $32, %rax
523 orq %rcx, %rax
524 ret
525
526 //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
527
528 We should add an FRINT node to the DAG to model targets that have legal
529 implementations of ceil/floor/rint.
530
531 //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
532
533 Consider:
534
535 int test() {
536 long long input[8] = {1,0,1,0,1,0,1,0};
537 foo(input);
538 }
539
540 Clang compiles this into:
541
542 call void @llvm.memset.p0i8.i64(i8* %tmp, i8 0, i64 64, i32 16, i1 false)
543 %0 = getelementptr [8 x i64]* %input, i64 0, i64 0
544 store i64 1, i64* %0, align 16
545 %1 = getelementptr [8 x i64]* %input, i64 0, i64 2
546 store i64 1, i64* %1, align 16
547 %2 = getelementptr [8 x i64]* %input, i64 0, i64 4
548 store i64 1, i64* %2, align 16
549 %3 = getelementptr [8 x i64]* %input, i64 0, i64 6
550 store i64 1, i64* %3, align 16
551
552 Which gets codegen'd into:
553
554 pxor %xmm0, %xmm0
555 movaps %xmm0, -16(%rbp)
556 movaps %xmm0, -32(%rbp)
557 movaps %xmm0, -48(%rbp)
558 movaps %xmm0, -64(%rbp)
559 movq $1, -64(%rbp)
560 movq $1, -48(%rbp)
561 movq $1, -32(%rbp)
562 movq $1, -16(%rbp)

564 It would be better to have 4 movq's of 0 instead of the movaps's.
565
566 //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
567
568 http://llvm.org/PR717:
569
570 The following code should compile into "ret int undef". Instead, LLVM
571 produces "ret int 0":
572
573 int f() {
574 int x = 4;
575 int y;
576 if (x == 3) y = 0;
577 return y;
578 }
579
580 //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
581
582 The loop unroller should partially unroll loops (instead of peeling them)
583 when code growth isn't too bad and when an unroll count allows simplification
584 of some code within the loop. One trivial example is:
585
586 #include <stdio.h>
587 int main() {
588 int nRet = 17;
589 int nLoop;
590 for ( nLoop = 0; nLoop < 1000; nLoop++ ) {
591 if ( nLoop & 1 )
592 nRet += 2;
593 else
594 nRet -= 1;
595 }
596 return nRet;
597 }
598
599 Unrolling by 2 would eliminate the '&1' in both copies, leading to a net
600 reduction in code size. The resultant code would then also be suitable for
601 exit value computation.
602
603 //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
604
605 We miss a bunch of rotate opportunities on various targets, including ppc, x86,
606 etc. On X86, we miss a bunch of 'rotate by variable' cases because the rotate
607 matching code in dag combine doesn't look through truncates aggressively
608 enough. Here are some testcases reduces from GCC PR17886:
609
610 unsigned long long f5(unsigned long long x, unsigned long long y) {
611 return (x << 8) | ((y >> 48) & 0xffull);
612 }
613 unsigned long long f6(unsigned long long x, unsigned long long y, int z) {
614 switch(z) {
615 case 1:
616 return (x << 8) | ((y >> 48) & 0xffull);
617 case 2:
618 return (x << 16) | ((y >> 40) & 0xffffull);
619 case 3:
620 return (x << 24) | ((y >> 32) & 0xffffffull);
621 case 4:
622 return (x << 32) | ((y >> 24) & 0xffffffffull);
623 default:
624 return (x << 40) | ((y >> 16) & 0xffffffffffull);
625 }
626 }
627
628 //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
629
630 This (and similar related idioms):
631
632 unsigned int foo(unsigned char i) {
633 return i | (i<<8) | (i<<16) | (i<<24);
634 }
635
636 compiles into:
637
638 define i32 @foo(i8 zeroext %i) nounwind readnone ssp noredzone {
639 entry:
640 %conv = zext i8 %i to i32
641 %shl = shl i32 %conv, 8
642 %shl5 = shl i32 %conv, 16
643 %shl9 = shl i32 %conv, 24
644 %or = or i32 %shl9, %conv
645 %or6 = or i32 %or, %shl5
646 %or10 = or i32 %or6, %shl
647 ret i32 %or10
648 }
649
650 it would be better as:
651
652 unsigned int bar(unsigned char i) {
653 unsigned int j=i | (i << 8);
654 return j | (j<<16);
655 }
656
657 aka:
658
659 define i32 @bar(i8 zeroext %i) nounwind readnone ssp noredzone {
660 entry:
661 %conv = zext i8 %i to i32
662 %shl = shl i32 %conv, 8
663 %or = or i32 %shl, %conv
664 %shl5 = shl i32 %or, 16
665 %or6 = or i32 %shl5, %or
666 ret i32 %or6
667 }
668
669 or even i*0x01010101, depending on the speed of the multiplier. The best way to
670 handle this is to canonicalize it to a multiply in IR and have codegen handle
671 lowering multiplies to shifts on cpus where shifts are faster.
672
673 //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
674
675 We do a number of simplifications in simplify libcalls to strength reduce
676 standard library functions, but we don't currently merge them together. For
677 example, it is useful to merge memcpy(a,b,strlen(b)) -> strcpy. This can only
678 be done safely if "b" isn't modified between the strlen and memcpy of course.
679
680 //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
681
682 We compile this program: (from GCC PR11680)
683 http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=4487
684
685 Into code that runs the same speed in fast/slow modes, but both modes run 2x
686 slower than when compile with GCC (either 4.0 or 4.2):
687
688 $ llvm-g++ perf.cpp -O3 -fno-exceptions
689 $ time ./a.out fast
690 1.821u 0.003s 0:01.82 100.0% 0+0k 0+0io 0pf+0w
691
692 $ g++ perf.cpp -O3 -fno-exceptions
693 $ time ./a.out fast
694 0.821u 0.001s 0:00.82 100.0% 0+0k 0+0io 0pf+0w
695
696 It looks like we are making the same inlining decisions, so this may be raw
697 codegen badness or something else (haven't investigated).
698
699 //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
700
701 Divisibility by constant can be simplified (according to GCC PR12849) from
702 being a mulhi to being a mul lo (cheaper). Testcase:
703
704 void bar(unsigned n) {
705 if (n % 3 == 0)
706 true();
707 }
708
709 This is equivalent to the following, where 2863311531 is the multiplicative
710 inverse of 3, and 1431655766 is ((2^32)-1)/3+1:
711 void bar(unsigned n) {
712 if (n * 2863311531U < 1431655766U)
713 true();
714 }
715
716 The same transformation can work with an even modulo with the addition of a
717 rotate: rotate the result of the multiply to the right by the number of bits
718 which need to be zero for the condition to be true, and shrink the compare RHS
719 by the same amount. Unless the target supports rotates, though, that
720 transformation probably isn't worthwhile.
721
722 The transformation can also easily be made to work with non-zero equality
723 comparisons: just transform, for example, "n % 3 == 1" to "(n-1) % 3 == 0".
724
725 //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
726
727 Better mod/ref analysis for scanf would allow us to eliminate the vtable and a
728 bunch of other stuff from this example (see PR1604):
729
730 #include <cstdio>
731 struct test {
732 int val;
733 virtual ~test() {}
734 };
735
736 int main() {
737 test t;
738 std::scanf("%d", &t.val);
739 std::printf("%d\n", t.val);
740 }
741

958 This was noticed in the entryblock for grokdeclarator in 403.gcc:
959
960 %tmp = icmp eq i32 %decl_context, 4
961 %decl_context_addr.0 = select i1 %tmp, i32 3, i32 %decl_context
962 %tmp1 = icmp eq i32 %decl_context_addr.0, 1
963 %decl_context_addr.1 = select i1 %tmp1, i32 0, i32 %decl_context_addr.0
964
965 tmp1 should be simplified to something like:
966 (!tmp || decl_context == 1)
967
968 This allows recursive simplifications, tmp1 is used all over the place in

979 [STORE SINKING]
980
981 Store sinking: This code:
982
983 void f (int n, int *cond, int *res) {
984 int i;
985 *res = 0;
986 for (i = 0; i < n; i++)
987 if (*cond)
988 *res ^= 234; /* (*) */
989 }
990
991 On this function GVN hoists the fully redundant value of *res, but nothing
992 moves the store out. This gives us this code:
993
994 bb: ; preds = %bb2, %entry
995 %.rle = phi i32 [ 0, %entry ], [ %.rle6, %bb2 ]
996 %i.05 = phi i32 [ 0, %entry ], [ %indvar.next, %bb2 ]
997 %1 = load i32* %cond, align 4
998 %2 = icmp eq i32 %1, 0
999 br i1 %2, label %bb2, label %bb1
1000
1001 bb1: ; preds = %bb
1002 %3 = xor i32 %.rle, 234
1003 store i32 %3, i32* %res, align 4
1004 br label %bb2
1005
1006 bb2: ; preds = %bb, %bb1
1007 %.rle6 = phi i32 [ %3, %bb1 ], [ %.rle, %bb ]
1008 %indvar.next = add i32 %i.05, 1
1009 %exitcond = icmp eq i32 %indvar.next, %n
1010 br i1 %exitcond, label %return, label %bb
1011
1012 DSE should sink partially dead stores to get the store out of the loop.
1013
1014 Here's another partial dead case:

1019 Scalar PRE hoists the mul in the common block up to the else:

1022 int d, e;
1023 if (a)
1024 d = b * c;
1025 else
1026 d = b - c;
1027 e = b * c + g;
1028 return d + e;
1029 }

1031 It would be better to do the mul once to reduce codesize above the if.

1073 It is good that we hoisted the reloads of numf2's, and Y out of the loop and
1074 sunk the store to winner out.
1075
1076 However, this is awful on several levels: the conditional truncate in the loop
1077 (-indvars at fault? why can't we completely promote the IV to i64?).
1078
1079 Beyond that, we have a partially redundant load in the loop: if "winner" (aka
1080 %i.01718) isn't updated, we reload Y[winner].y the next time through the loop.
1081 Similarly, the addressing that feeds it (including the sext) is redundant. In
1082 the end we get this generated assembly:
1083
1084 LBB0_2: ## %for.body

1086 movsd (%rdi), %xmm0

1096 jne LBB0_2
1097
1098 All things considered this isn't too bad, but we shouldn't need the movslq or
1099 the shlq instruction, or the load folded into ucomisd every time through the
1100 loop.
1101
1102 On an x86-specific topic, if the loop can't be restructure, the movl should be a
1103 cmov.

1107 [STORE SINKING]
1108
1109 GCC PR37810 is an interesting case where we should sink load/store reload
1110 into the if block and outside the loop, so we don't reload/store it on the
1111 non-call path.
1112
1113 for () {
1114 *P += 1;
1115 if ()
1116 call();
1117 else
1118 ...
1119 ->
1120 tmp = *P
1121 for () {
1122 tmp += 1;
1123 if () {
1124 *P = tmp;
1125 call();
1126 tmp = *P;
1127 } else ...
1128 }
1129 *P = tmp;
1130
1131 We now hoist the reload after the call (Transforms/GVN/lpre-call-wrap.ll), but
1132 we don't sink the store. We need partially dead store sinking.

1136 [LOAD PRE CRIT EDGE SPLITTING]
1137
1138 GCC PR37166: Sinking of loads prevents SROA'ing the "g" struct on the stack
1139 leading to excess stack traffic. This could be handled by GVN with some crazy
1140 symbolic phi translation. The code we get looks like (g is on the stack):
1141
1142 bb2: ; preds = %bb1
1143 ..
1144 %9 = getelementptr %struct.f* %g, i32 0, i32 0
1145 store i32 %8, i32* %9, align bel %bb3
1146
1147 bb3: ; preds = %bb1, %bb2, %bb
1148 %c_addr.0 = phi %struct.f* [ %g, %bb2 ], [ %c, %bb ], [ %c, %bb1 ]
1149 %b_addr.0 = phi %struct.f* [ %b, %bb2 ], [ %g, %bb ], [ %b, %bb1 ]
1150 %10 = getelementptr %struct.f* %c_addr.0, i32 0, i32 0
1151 %11 = load i32* %10, align 4
1152
1153 %11 is partially redundant, an in BB2 it should have the value %8.
1154
1155 GCC PR33344 and PR35287 are similar cases.
1156

1160 [LOAD PRE]
1161
1162 There are many load PRE testcases in testsuite/gcc.dg/tree-ssa/loadpre* in the
1163 GCC testsuite, ones we don't get yet are (checked through loadpre25):
1164
1165 [CRIT EDGE BREAKING]

1176 //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
1177
1178 [LOAD PRE / STORE SINKING / SPEC HACK]
1179
1180 This is a chunk of code from 456.hmmer:
1181
1182 int f(int M, int *mc, int *mpp, int *tpmm, int *ip, int *tpim, int *dpp,
1183 int *tpdm, int xmb, int *bp, int *ms) {
1184 int k, sc;
1185 for (k = 1; k <= M; k++) {
1186 mc[k] = mpp[k-1] + tpmm[k-1];
1187 if ((sc = ip[k-1] + tpim[k-1]) > mc[k]) mc[k] = sc;
1188 if ((sc = dpp[k-1] + tpdm[k-1]) > mc[k]) mc[k] = sc;
1189 if ((sc = xmb + bp[k]) > mc[k]) mc[k] = sc;
1190 mc[k] += ms[k];
1191 }
1192 }
1193
1194 It is very profitable for this benchmark to turn the conditional stores to mc[k]
1195 into a conditional move (select instr in IR) and allow the final store to do the
1196 store. See GCC PR27313 for more details. Note that this is valid to xform even
1197 with the new C++ memory model, since mc[k] is previously loaded and later
1198 stored.
1199
1200 //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
1201
1202 [SCALAR PRE]
1203 There are many PRE testcases in testsuite/gcc.dg/tree-ssa/ssa-pre-*.c in the
1204 GCC testsuite.
1205
1206 //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
1207
1208 There are some interesting cases in testsuite/gcc.dg/tree-ssa/pred-comm* in the
1209 GCC testsuite. For example, we get the first example in predcom-1.c, but
1210 miss the second one:
1211
1212 unsigned fib[1000];
1213 unsigned avg[1000];
1214
1215 __attribute__ ((noinline))
1216 void count_averages(int n) {
1217 int i;
1218 for (i = 1; i < n; i++)
1219 avg[i] = (((unsigned long) fib[i - 1] + fib[i] + fib[i + 1]) / 3) & 0xffff;
1220 }
1221
1222 which compiles into two loads instead of one in the loop.
1223
1224 predcom-2.c is the same as predcom-1.c
1225
1226 predcom-3.c is very similar but needs loads feeding each other instead of
1227 store->load.
1228

1232 [ALIAS ANALYSIS]
1233
1234 Type based alias analysis:
1235 http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14705
1236
1237 We should do better analysis of posix_memalign. At the least it should
1238 no-capture its pointer argument, at best, we should know that the out-value
1239 result doesn't point to anything (like malloc). One example of this is in
1240 SingleSource/Benchmarks/Misc/dt.c
1241
1242 //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
1243
1244 Interesting missed case because of control flow flattening (should be 2 loads):
1245 http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=26629
1246 With: llvm-gcc t2.c -S -o - -O0 -emit-llvm | llvm-as |
1247 opt -mem2reg -gvn -instcombine | llvm-dis
1248 we miss it because we need 1) CRIT EDGE 2) MULTIPLE DIFFERENT
1249 VALS PRODUCED BY ONE BLOCK OVER DIFFERENT PATHS
1250
1251 //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
1252
1253 http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19633
1254 We could eliminate the branch condition here, loading from null is undefined:
1255
1256 struct S { int w, x, y, z; };
1257 struct T { int r; struct S s; };
1258 void bar (struct S, int);
1259 void foo (int a, struct T b)
1260 {
1261 struct S *c = 0;
1262 if (a)
1263 c = &b.s;
1264 bar (*c, a);
1265 }
1266
1267 //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
1268
1269 simplifylibcalls should do several optimizations for strspn/strcspn:
1270
1271 strcspn(x, "a") -> inlined loop for up to 3 letters (similarly for strspn):
1272
1273 size_t __strcspn_c3 (__const char *__s, int __reject1, int __reject2,
1274 int __reject3) {
1275 register size_t __result = 0;
1276 while (__s[__result] != '\0' && __s[__result] != __reject1 &&
1277 __s[__result] != __reject2 && __s[__result] != __reject3)
1278 ++__result;
1279 return __result;
1280 }
1281
1282 This should turn into a switch on the character. See PR3253 for some notes on
1283 codegen.
1284
1285 456.hmmer apparently uses strcspn and strspn a lot. 471.omnetpp uses strspn.
1286
1287 //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
1288
1289 simplifylibcalls should turn these snprintf idioms into memcpy (GCC PR47917)
1290
1291 char buf1[6], buf2[6], buf3[4], buf4[4];
1292 int i;
1293
1294 int foo (void) {
1295 int ret = snprintf (buf1, sizeof buf1, "abcde");
1296 ret += snprintf (buf2, sizeof buf2, "abcdef") * 16;
1297 ret += snprintf (buf3, sizeof buf3, "%s", i++ < 6 ? "abc" : "def") * 256;
1298 ret += snprintf (buf4, sizeof buf4, "%s", i++ > 10 ? "abcde" : "defgh")*4096;
1299 return ret;
1300 }
1301
1302 //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
1303
1304 "gas" uses this idiom:
1305 else if (strchr ("+-/*%|&^:[]()~", *intel_parser.op_string))
1306 ..
1307 else if (strchr ("<>", *intel_parser.op_string)
1308
1309 Those should be turned into a switch.
1310
1311 //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
1312
1313 252.eon contains this interesting code:
1314
1315 %3072 = getelementptr [100 x i8]* %tempString, i32 0, i32 0
1316 %3073 = call i8* @strcpy(i8* %3072, i8* %3071) nounwind
1317 %strlen = call i32 @strlen(i8* %3072) ; uses = 1
1318 %endptr = getelementptr [100 x i8]* %tempString, i32 0, i32 %strlen
1319 call void @llvm.memcpy.i32(i8* %endptr,
1320 i8* getelementptr ([5 x i8]* @"\01LC42", i32 0, i32 0), i32 5, i32 1)
1321 %3074 = call i32 @strlen(i8* %endptr) nounwind readonly
1322
1323 This is interesting for a couple reasons. First, in this:
1324
1325 The memcpy+strlen strlen can be replaced with:
1326
1327 %3074 = call i32 @strlen([5 x i8]* @"\01LC42") nounwind readonly
1328
1329 Because the destination was just copied into the specified memory buffer. This,
1330 in turn, can be constant folded to "4".
1331
1332 In other code, it contains:
1333
1334 %endptr6978 = bitcast i8* %endptr69 to i32*
1335 store i32 7107374, i32* %endptr6978, align 1
1336 %3167 = call i32 @strlen(i8* %endptr69) nounwind readonly
1337
1338 Which could also be constant folded. Whatever is producing this should probably
1339 be fixed to leave this as a memcpy from a string.
1340
1341 Further, eon also has an interesting partially redundant strlen call:
1342
1343 bb8: ; preds = %_ZN18eonImageCalculatorC1Ev.exit
1344 %682 = getelementptr i8** %argv, i32 6 ; <i8**> [#uses=2]
1345 %683 = load i8** %682, align 4 ; <i8*> [#uses=4]
1346 %684 = load i8* %683, align 1 ; <i8> [#uses=1]
1347 %685 = icmp eq i8 %684, 0 ; <i1> [#uses=1]
1348 br i1 %685, label %bb10, label %bb9
1349
1350 bb9: ; preds = %bb8
1351 %686 = call i32 @strlen(i8* %683) nounwind readonly
1352 %687 = icmp ugt i32 %686, 254 ; <i1> [#uses=1]
1353 br i1 %687, label %bb10, label %bb11
1354
1355 bb10: ; preds = %bb9, %bb8
1356 %688 = call i32 @strlen(i8* %683) nounwind readonly
1357
1358 This could be eliminated by doing the strlen once in bb8, saving code size and
1359 improving perf on the bb8->9->10 path.
1360
1361 //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
1362
1363 I see an interesting fully redundant call to strlen left in 186.crafty:InputMove
1364 which looks like:
1365 %movetext11 = getelementptr [128 x i8]* %movetext, i32 0, i32 0
1366
1367
1368 bb62: ; preds = %bb55, %bb53
1369 %promote.0 = phi i32 [ %169, %bb55 ], [ 0, %bb53 ]
1370 %171 = call i32 @strlen(i8* %movetext11) nounwind readonly align 1
1371 %172 = add i32 %171, -1 ; <i32> [#uses=1]
1372 %173 = getelementptr [128 x i8]* %movetext, i32 0, i32 %172
1373
1374 ... no stores ...
1375 br i1 %or.cond, label %bb65, label %bb72
1376
1377 bb65: ; preds = %bb62
1378 store i8 0, i8* %173, align 1
1379 br label %bb72
1380
1381 bb72: ; preds = %bb65, %bb62
1382 %trank.1 = phi i32 [ %176, %bb65 ], [ -1, %bb62 ]
1383 %177 = call i32 @strlen(i8* %movetext11) nounwind readonly align 1
1384
1385 Note that on the bb62->bb72 path, that the %177 strlen call is partially
1386 redundant with the %171 call. At worst, we could shove the %177 strlen call
1387 up into the bb65 block moving it out of the bb62->bb72 path. However, note
1388 that bb65 stores to the string, zeroing out the last byte. This means that on
1389 that path the value of %177 is actually just %171-1. A sub is cheaper than a
1390 strlen!
1391
1392 This pattern repeats several times, basically doing:
1393
1394 A = strlen(P);
1395 P[A-1] = 0;
1396 B = strlen(P);
1397 where it is "obvious" that B = A-1.
1398
1399 //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
1400
1401 186.crafty has this interesting pattern with the "out.4543" variable:
1402
1403 call void @llvm.memcpy.i32(
1404 i8* getelementptr ([10 x i8]* @out.4543, i32 0, i32 0),
1405 i8* getelementptr ([7 x i8]* @"\01LC28700", i32 0, i32 0), i32 7, i32 1)
1406 %101 = call@printf(i8* ... @out.4543, i32 0, i32 0)) nounwind
1407
1408 It is basically doing:
1409
1410 memcpy(globalarray, "string");
1411 printf(..., globalarray);
1412
1413 Anyway, by knowing that printf just reads the memory and forward substituting
1414 the string directly into the printf, this eliminates reads from globalarray.
1415 Since this pattern occurs frequently in crafty (due to the "DisplayTime" and
1416 other similar functions) there are many stores to "out". Once all the printfs
1417 stop using "out", all that is left is the memcpy's into it. This should allow
1418 globalopt to remove the "stored only" global.
1419
1420 //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
1421
1422 This code:
1423
1424 define inreg i32 @foo(i8* inreg %p) nounwind {

1426 %tmp1 = ashr i8 %tmp0, 5
1427 %tmp2 = sext i8 %tmp1 to i32
1428 ret i32 %tmp2
1429 }
1430
1431 could be dagcombine'd to a sign-extending load with a shift.
1432 For example, on x86 this currently gets this:
1433
1434 movb (%eax), %al
1435 sarb $5, %al
1436 movsbl %al, %eax
1437
1438 while it could get this:

1440 movsbl (%eax), %eax
1441 sarl $5, %eax

1479 define i32 @func(i32 %a, i32 %b) nounwind readnone ssp {
1480 entry:
1481 %0 = and i32 %a, 128 ; <i32> [#uses=1]
1482 %1 = icmp eq i32 %0, 0 ; <i1> [#uses=1]

1484 %3 = and i32 %b, -129 ; <i32> [#uses=1]
1485 %b_addr.0 = select i1 %1, i32 %3, i32 %2 ; <i32> [#uses=1]
1486 ret i32 %b_addr.0
1487 }
1488
1489 However, it's functionally equivalent to:
1490
1491 b = (b & ~0x80) | (a & 0x80);
1492
1493 Which generates this:
1494

1499 %2 = or i32 %0, %1 ; <i32> [#uses=1]
1500 ret i32 %2
1501 }
1502
1503 This can be generalized for other forms:
1504
1505 b = (b & ~0x80) | (a & 0x40) << 1;
1506
1507 //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

1563
1564 It would be interesting extend IPSCCP to be able to handle simple cases like
1565 this, where all of the arguments to a call are constant. Because IPSCCP runs
1566 before inlining, trivial templates and inline functions are not yet inlined.
1567 The results for a function + set of constant arguments should be memoized in a
1568 map.
1569
1570 //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
1571
1572 The libcall constant folding stuff should be moved out of SimplifyLibcalls into
1573 libanalysis' constantfolding logic. This would allow IPSCCP to be able to
1574 handle simple things like this:
1575
1576 static int foo(const char *X) { return strlen(X); }
1577 int bar() { return foo("abcd"); }
1578
1579 //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
1580
1581 functionattrs doesn't know much about memcpy/memset. This function should be
1582 marked readnone rather than readonly, since it only twiddles local memory, but
1583 functionattrs doesn't handle memset/memcpy/memmove aggressively:
1584
1585 struct X { int *p; int *q; };
1586 int foo() {
1587 int i = 0, j = 1;
1588 struct X x, y;
1589 int **p;
1590 y.p = &i;
1591 x.q = &j;
1592 p = __builtin_memcpy (&x, &y, sizeof (int *));
1593 return **p;
1594 }
1595
1596 This can be seen at:
1597 $ clang t.c -S -o - -mkernel -O0 -emit-llvm | opt -functionattrs -S
1598

1602 Missed instcombine transformation:
1603 define i1 @a(i32 %x) nounwind readnone {
1604 entry:
1605 %cmp = icmp eq i32 %x, 30
1606 %sub = add i32 %x, -30
1607 %cmp2 = icmp ugt i32 %sub, 9
1608 %or = or i1 %cmp, %cmp2
1609 ret i1 %or
1610 }
1611 This should be optimized to a single compare. Testcase derived from gcc.
1612
1613 //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
1614
1615 Missed instcombine or reassociate transformation:
1616 int a(int a, int b) { return (a==12)&(b>47)&(b<58); }
1617
1618 The sgt and slt should be combined into a single comparison. Testcase derived
1619 from gcc.
1620
1621 //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
1622
1623 Missed instcombine transformation:
1624
1625 %382 = srem i32 %tmp14.i, 64 ; [#uses=1]
1626 %383 = zext i32 %382 to i64 ; [#uses=1]
1627 %384 = shl i64 %381, %383 ; [#uses=1]
1628 %385 = icmp slt i32 %tmp14.i, 64 ; [#uses=1]
1629
1630 The srem can be transformed to an and because if %tmp14.i is negative, the
1631 shift is undefined. Testcase derived from 403.gcc.
1632
1633 //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
1634
1635 This is a range comparison on a divided result (from 403.gcc):
1636
1637 %1337 = sdiv i32 %1336, 8 ; [#uses=1]
1638 %.off.i208 = add i32 %1336, 7 ; [#uses=1]
1639 %1338 = icmp ult i32 %.off.i208, 15 ; [#uses=1]
1640
1641 We already catch this (removing the sdiv) if there isn't an add, we should
1642 handle the 'add' as well. This is a common idiom with it's builtin_alloca code.
1643 C testcase:
1644
1645 int a(int x) { return (unsigned)(x/16+7) < 15; }
1646
1647 Another similar case involves truncations on 64-bit targets:
1648
1649 %361 = sdiv i64 %.046, 8 ; [#uses=1]
1650 %362 = trunc i64 %361 to i32 ; [#uses=2]
1651 ...
1652 %367 = icmp eq i32 %362, 0 ; [#uses=1]
1653
1654 //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
1655
1656 Missed instcombine/dagcombine transformation:
1657 define void @lshift_lt(i8 zeroext %a) nounwind {
1658 entry:
1659 %conv = zext i8 %a to i32
1660 %shl = shl i32 %conv, 3
1661 %cmp = icmp ult i32 %shl, 33
1662 br i1 %cmp, label %if.then, label %if.end
1663
1664 if.then:
1665 tail call void @bar() nounwind
1666 ret void
1667
1668 if.end:
1669 ret void
1670 }
1671 declare void @bar() nounwind
1672
1673 The shift should be eliminated. Testcase derived from gcc.
1674
1675 //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
1676
1677 These compile into different code, one gets recognized as a switch and the
1678 other doesn't due to phase ordering issues (PR6212):
1679
1680 int test1(int mainType, int subType) {
1681 if (mainType == 7)
1682 subType = 4;
1683 else if (mainType == 9)
1684 subType = 6;
1685 else if (mainType == 11)
1686 subType = 9;
1687 return subType;
1688 }
1689
1690 int test2(int mainType, int subType) {
1691 if (mainType == 7)
1692 subType = 4;
1693 if (mainType == 9)
1694 subType = 6;
1695 if (mainType == 11)
1696 subType = 9;
1697 return subType;
1698 }
1699
1700 //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
1701
1702 The following test case (from PR6576):
1703
1704 define i32 @mul(i32 %a, i32 %b) nounwind readnone {
1705 entry:
1706 %cond1 = icmp eq i32 %b, 0 ; <i1> [#uses=1]
1707 br i1 %cond1, label %exit, label %bb.nph
1708 bb.nph: ; preds = %entry
1709 %tmp = mul i32 %b, %a ; <i32> [#uses=1]
1710 ret i32 %tmp
1711 exit: ; preds = %entry
1712 ret i32 0
1713 }
1714
1715 could be reduced to:
1716
1717 define i32 @mul(i32 %a, i32 %b) nounwind readnone {
1718 entry:
1719 %tmp = mul i32 %b, %a
1720 ret i32 %tmp
1721 }
1722
1723 //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
1724
1725 We should use DSE + llvm.lifetime.end to delete dead vtable pointer updates.
1726 See GCC PR34949
1727
1728 Another interesting case is that something related could be used for variables
1729 that go const after their ctor has finished. In these cases, globalopt (which
1730 can statically run the constructor) could mark the global const (so it gets put
1731 in the readonly section). A testcase would be:
1732
1733 #include <complex>
1734 using namespace std;
1735 const complex<char> should_be_in_rodata (42,-42);
1736 complex<char> should_be_in_data (42,-42);
1737 complex<char> should_be_in_bss;
1738
1739 Where we currently evaluate the ctors but the globals don't become const because
1740 the optimizer doesn't know they "become const" after the ctor is done. See
1741 GCC PR4131 for more examples.
1742
1743 //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
1744
1745 In this code:
1746
1747 long foo(long x) {
1748 return x > 1 ? x : 1;
1749 }
1750
1751 LLVM emits a comparison with 1 instead of 0. 0 would be equivalent
1752 and cheaper on most targets.
1753
1754 LLVM prefers comparisons with zero over non-zero in general, but in this
1755 case it choses instead to keep the max operation obvious.

1786
1787 If we wanted to be really clever, we could simplify the whole thing to
1788 something like the following, which eliminates a branch:
1789 xorl $1, %edi
1790 cmpl $4, %edi
1791 ja .LBB0_2

1804 define i32 @foo(i32 %a) nounwind readnone ssp {

1810
1811 but this code (X & -A)/A is X >> log2(A) when A is a power of 2, so this case
1812 should be instcombined into just "a >> 4".
1813
1814 We do get this at the codegen level, so something knows about it, but
1815 instcombine should catch it earlier:
1816
1817 _foo: ## @foo

1862 This code can be seen in viterbi:
1863
1864 %64 = call noalias i8* @malloc(i64 %62) nounwind
1865 ...
1866 %67 = call i64 @llvm.objectsize.i64(i8* %64, i1 false) nounwind
1867 %68 = call i8* @__memset_chk(i8* %64, i32 0, i64 %62, i64 %67) nounwind
1868
1869 llvm.objectsize.i64 should be taught about malloc/calloc, allowing it to
1870 fold to %62. This is a security win (overflows of malloc will get caught)
1871 and also a performance win by exposing more memsets to the optimizer.
1872
1873 This occurs several times in viterbi.
1874
1875 Note that this would change the semantics of @llvm.objectsize which by its
1876 current definition always folds to a constant. We also should make sure that
1877 we remove checking in code like
1878
1879 char *p = malloc(strlen(s)+1);
1880 __strcpy_chk(p, s, __builtin_objectsize(p, 0));

2022 This is just the handling the construction of the vector. Most surprising here
2023 is the fact that all three null stores in %entry are dead (because we do no
2024 cross-block DSE).
2025
2026 Also surprising is that %conv isn't simplified to 0 in %....exit.thread.i.i.
2027 This is a because the client of LazyValueInfo doesn't simplify all instruction

2058 }
2059
2060 This shouldn't need the ((zext (%n - 1)) + 1) game, and it should ideally fold
2061 the two memset's together.
2062
2063 The issue with the addition only occurs in 64-bit mode, and appears to be at
2064 least partially caused by Scalar Evolution not keeping its cache updated: it
2065 returns the "wrong" result immediately after indvars runs, but figures out the
2066 expected result if it is run from scratch on IR resulting from running indvars.
2067
2068 //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
2069
2070 clang -O3 -fno-exceptions currently compiles this code:
2071
2072 struct S {
2073 unsigned short m1, m2;
2074 unsigned char m3, m4;
2075 };
2076
2077 void f(int N) {
2078 std::vector<S> v(N);
2079 extern void sink(void*); sink(&v);
2080 }
2081
2082 into poor code for zero-initializing 'v' when N is >0. The problem is that
2083 S is only 6 bytes, but each element is 8 byte-aligned. We generate a loop and
2084 4 stores on each iteration. If the struct were 8 bytes, this gets turned into
2085 a memset.
2086
2087 In order to handle this we have to:
2088 A) Teach clang to generate metadata for memsets of structs that have holes in
2089 them.
2090 B) Teach clang to use such a memset for zero init of this struct (since it has
2091 a hole), instead of doing elementwise zeroing.
2092
2093 //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
2094
2095 clang -O3 currently compiles this code:
2096
2097 extern const int magic;
2098 double f() { return 0.0 * magic; }
2099
2100 into
2101
2102 @magic = external constant i32
2103
2104 define double @_Z1fv() nounwind readnone {
2105 entry:
2106 %tmp = load i32* @magic, align 4, !tbaa !0
2107 %conv = sitofp i32 %tmp to double
2108 %mul = fmul double %conv, 0.000000e+00
2109 ret double %mul
2110 }
2111
2112 We should be able to fold away this fmul to 0.0. More generally, fmul(x,0.0)
2113 can be folded to 0.0 if we can prove that the LHS is not -0.0, not a NaN, and
2114 not an INF. The CannotBeNegativeZero predicate in value tracking should be
2115 extended to support general "fpclassify" operations that can return
2116 yes/no/unknown for each of these predicates.
2117
2118 In this predicate, we know that uitofp is trivially never NaN or -0.0, and
2119 we know that it isn't +/-Inf if the floating point type has enough exponent bits
2120 to represent the largest integer value as < inf.
2121
2122 //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
2123
2124 When optimizing a transformation that can change the sign of 0.0 (such as the
2125 0.0*val -> 0.0 transformation above), it might be provable that the sign of the
2126 expression doesn't matter. For example, by the above rules, we can't transform
2127 fmul(sitofp(x), 0.0) into 0.0, because x might be -1 and the result of the
2128 expression is defined to be -0.0.
2129
2130 If we look at the uses of the fmul for example, we might be able to prove that
2131 all uses don't care about the sign of zero. For example, if we have:
2132
2133 fadd(fmul(sitofp(x), 0.0), 2.0)
2134
2135 Since we know that x+2.0 doesn't care about the sign of any zeros in X, we can
2136 transform the fmul to 0.0, and then the fadd to 2.0.
2137
2138 //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
2139
2140 We should enhance memcpy/memcpy/memset to allow a metadata node on them
2141 indicating that some bytes of the transfer are undefined. This is useful for
2142 frontends like clang when lowering struct copies, when some elements of the
2143 struct are undefined. Consider something like this:
2144
2145 struct x {
2146 char a;
2147 int b[4];
2148 };
2149 void foo(struct x*P);
2150 struct x testfunc() {
2151 struct x V1, V2;
2152 foo(&V1);
2153 V2 = V1;
2154
2155 return V2;
2156 }
2157
2158 We currently compile this to:
2159 $ clang t.c -S -o - -O0 -emit-llvm | opt -scalarrepl -S
2160
2161
2162 %struct.x = type { i8, [4 x i32] }
2163
2164 define void @testfunc(%struct.x* sret %agg.result) nounwind ssp {
2165 entry:
2166 %V1 = alloca %struct.x, align 4
2167 call void @foo(%struct.x* %V1)
2168 %tmp1 = bitcast %struct.x* %V1 to i8*
2169 %0 = bitcast %struct.x* %V1 to i160*
2170 %srcval1 = load i160* %0, align 4
2171 %tmp2 = bitcast %struct.x* %agg.result to i8*
2172 %1 = bitcast %struct.x* %agg.result to i160*
2173 store i160 %srcval1, i160* %1, align 4
2174 ret void
2175 }
2176
2177 This happens because SRoA sees that the temp alloca has is being memcpy'd into
2178 and out of and it has holes and it has to be conservative. If we knew about the
2179 holes, then this could be much much better.
2180
2181 Having information about these holes would also improve memcpy (etc) lowering at
2182 llc time when it gets inlined, because we can use smaller transfers. This also
2183 avoids partial register stalls in some important cases.
2184
2185 //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
2186
2187 We don't fold (icmp (add) (add)) unless the two adds only have a single use.
2188 There are a lot of cases that we're refusing to fold in (e.g.) 256.bzip2, for
2189 example:
2190
2191 %indvar.next90 = add i64 %indvar89, 1 ;; Has 2 uses
2192 %tmp96 = add i64 %tmp95, 1 ;; Has 1 use
2193 %exitcond97 = icmp eq i64 %indvar.next90, %tmp96
2194
2195 We don't fold this because we don't want to introduce an overlapped live range
2196 of the ivar. However if we can make this more aggressive without causing
2197 performance issues in two ways:
2198
2199 1. If *either* the LHS or RHS has a single use, we can definitely do the
2200 transformation. In the overlapping liverange case we're trading one register
2201 use for one fewer operation, which is a reasonable trade. Before doing this
2202 we should verify that the llc output actually shrinks for some benchmarks.
2203 2. If both ops have multiple uses, we can still fold it if the operations are
2204 both sinkable to *after* the icmp (e.g. in a subsequent block) which doesn't
2205 increase register pressure.
2206
2207 There are a ton of icmp's we aren't simplifying because of the reg pressure
2208 concern. Care is warranted here though because many of these are induction
2209 variables and other cases that matter a lot to performance, like the above.
2210 Here's a blob of code that you can drop into the bottom of visitICmp to see some
2211 missed cases:
2212
2213 { Value *A, *B, *C, *D;
2214 if (match(Op0, m_Add(m_Value(A), m_Value(B))) &&
2215 match(Op1, m_Add(m_Value(C), m_Value(D))) &&
2216 (A == C || A == D || B == C || B == D)) {
2217 errs() << "OP0 = " << *Op0 << " U=" << Op0->getNumUses() << "\n";
2218 errs() << "OP1 = " << *Op1 << " U=" << Op1->getNumUses() << "\n";
2219 errs() << "CMP = " << I << "\n\n";
2220 }
2221 }

2226 %and = and i32 %x, 3

2246 This code:

2249 int f1:1;
2250 int f2:1;
2251 int f3:1;
2252 int f4:29;
2253 } t1;
2254
2255 typedef struct {
2256 int f1:1;

2262 t2 s2;

2264 void func1(void)
2265 {
2266 s1.f1 = s2.f1;
2267 s1.f2 = s2.f2;
2268 }
2269
2270 Compiles into this IR (on x86-64 at least):
2271
2272 %struct.t1 = type { i8, [3 x i8] }
2273 @s2 = global %struct.t1 zeroinitializer, align 4
2274 @s1 = global %struct.t1 zeroinitializer, align 4

2285 ret void
2286 }

2288 The two or/and's should be merged into one each.
2289
2290 //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
2291
2292 Machine level code hoisting can be useful in some cases. For example, PR9408
2293 is about:
2294
2295 typedef union {
2296 void (*f1)(int);
2297 void (*f2)(long);
2298 } funcs;
2299
2300 void foo(funcs f, int which) {
2301 int a = 5;
2302 if (which) {
2303 f.f1(a);
2304 } else {
2305 f.f2(a);
2306 }
2307 }
2308
2309 which we compile to:
2310
2311 foo: # @foo
2312 # BB#0: # %entry
2313 pushq %rbp
2314 movq %rsp, %rbp
2315 testl %esi, %esi
2316 movq %rdi, %rax
2317 je .LBB0_2
2318 # BB#1: # %if.then
2319 movl $5, %edi
2320 callq *%rax
2321 popq %rbp
2322 ret
2323 .LBB0_2: # %if.else
2324 movl $5, %edi
2325 callq *%rax
2326 popq %rbp
2327 ret
2328
2329 Note that bb1 and bb2 are the same. This doesn't happen at the IR level
2330 because one call is passing an i32 and the other is passing an i64.
2331
2332 //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
2333
2334 I see this sort of pattern in 176.gcc in a few places (e.g. the start of
2335 store_bit_field). The rem should be replaced with a multiply and subtract:
2336
2337 %3 = sdiv i32 %A, %B
2338 %4 = srem i32 %A, %B
2339
2340 Similarly for udiv/urem. Note that this shouldn't be done on X86 or ARM,
2341 which can do this in a single operation (instruction or libcall). It is
2342 probably best to do this in the code generator.
2343
2344 //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
2345
2346 unsigned foo(unsigned x, unsigned y) { return (x & y) == 0 || x == 0; }
2347 should fold to (x & y) == 0.
2348
2349 //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
2350
2351 unsigned foo(unsigned x, unsigned y) { return x > y && x != 0; }
2352 should fold to x > y.
2353
2354 //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
2355
