      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.

    367 ; This testcase is due to tail-duplication not wanting to copy the return

    394                             [ %tmp.9, %then.1 ]
    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:

    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.

    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)
    563 
    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

    984     int i;
    985     *res = 0;

    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 ]

   1027   e = b * c + g;
   1028   return d + e;

   1071 
   1072 
   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
   1085                                         ## =>This Inner Loop Header: Depth=1

   1094 	incq	%rsi
   1095 	cmpq	%rsi, %rax
   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.
   1104 
   1105 //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
   1106 
   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.

   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];

   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

   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.

   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 {
   1425   %tmp0 = load i8* %p
   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:
   1439 
   1440 	movsbl	(%eax), %eax
   1441 	sarl	$5, %eax
   1442

   1474 
   1475 int func(int a, int b) { if (a & 0x80) b |= 0x80; else b &= ~0x80; return b; }
   1476 
   1477 Generates this:
   1478 
   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]
   1483   %2 = or i32 %b, 128                             ; <i32> [#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 
   1495 define i32 @func(i32 %a, i32 %b) nounwind readnone ssp {
   1496 entry:
   1497   %0 = and i32 %b, -129                           ; <i32> [#uses=1]
   1498   %1 = and i32 %a, 128                            ; <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;

   1544 IPSCCP does not currently propagate argument dependent constants through
   1545 functions where it does not not all of the callers.  This includes functions
   1546 with normal external linkage as well as templates, C99 inline functions etc.
   1547 Specifically, it does nothing to:

   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

   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.
   1756

   1784 .LBB0_3:
   1785 	jmp	foo  # TAILCALL
   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

   1795 
   1796 //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
   1797 
   1798 We compile this:
   1799 
   1800 int foo(int a) { return (a & (~15)) / 16; }
   1801 
   1802 Into:

   1805 entry:
   1806   %and = and i32 %a, -16
   1807   %div = sdiv i32 %and, 16
   1808   ret i32 %div
   1809 }
   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

   1849 }
   1850 
   1851 it could be:

   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));

   1894   ret i32 %.
   1895 }
   1896 
   1897 Should be simplified into something like:

   1942 }
   1943 
   1944 The icmp should fold to false. This CSE opportunity is only available

   1946 
   1947 //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
   1948

   1955 }
   1956 
   1957 into a call to calloc.  We should make sure that we analyze calloc as
   1958 aggressively as malloc though.
   1959 
   1960 //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

   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
   2028 operands, just selected ones.

   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";

   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

   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.

   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.
