This way all the 10 // globals which were merged into a biggest one can be addressed using offsets 11 // from the same base pointer (no need for separate base pointer for each of the 12 // global). Such a transformation can significantly reduce the register pressure 13 // when many globals are involved. 14 // 15 // For example, consider the code which touches several global variables at 16 // once: 17 // 18 // static int foo[N], bar[N], baz[N]; 19 // 20 // for (i = 0; i < N; ++i) { 21 // foo[i] = bar[i] * baz[i]; 22 // } 23 // 24 // On ARM the addresses of 3 arrays should be kept in the registers, thus 25 // this code has quite large register pressure (loop body): 26 // 27 // ldr r1, [r5], #4 28 // ldr r2, [r6], #4 29 // mul r1, r2, r1 30 // str r1, [r0], #4 31 // 32 // Pass converts the code to something like: 33 // 34 // static struct { 35 // int foo[N]; 36 // int bar[N]; 37 // int baz[N]; 38 // } merged; 39 // 40 // for (i = 0; i < N; ++i) { 41 // merged.foo[i] = merged.bar[i] * merged.baz[i]; 42 // } 43 // 44 // and in ARM code this becomes: 45 // 46 // ldr r0, [r5, #40] 47 // ldr r1, [r5, #80] 48 // mul r0, r1, r0 49 // str r0, [r5], #4 50 // 51 // note that we saved 2 registers here almostly "for free". 52 // 53 // However, merging globals can have tradeoffs: 54 // - it confuses debuggers, tools, and users 55 // - it makes linker optimizations less useful (order files, LOHs, ...) 56 // - it forces usage of indexed addressing (which isn't necessarily "free") 57 // - it can increase register pressure when the uses are disparate enough. 58 // 59 // We use heuristics to discover the best global grouping we can (cf cl::opts). 60 // ===---------------------------------------------------------------------===// 61 62 #include "llvm/Transforms/Scalar.h" 63 #include "llvm/ADT/DenseMap.h" 64 #include "llvm/ADT/SmallBitVector.h" 65 #include "llvm/ADT/SmallPtrSet.h" 66 #include "llvm/ADT/Statistic.h" 67 #include "llvm/CodeGen/Passes.h" 68 #include "llvm/IR/Attributes.h" 69 #include "llvm/IR/Constants.h" 70 #include "llvm/IR/DataLayout.h" 71 #include "llvm/IR/DerivedTypes.h" 72 #include "llvm/IR/Function.h" 73 #include "llvm/IR/GlobalVariable.h" 74 #include "llvm/IR/Instructions.h" 75 #include "llvm/IR/Intrinsics.h" 76 #include "llvm/IR/Module.h" 77 #include "llvm/Pass.h" 78 #include "llvm/Support/CommandLine.h" 79 #include "llvm/Support/Debug.h" 80 #include "llvm/Support/raw_ostream.h" 81 #include "llvm/Target/TargetLowering.h" 82 #include "llvm/Target/TargetLoweringObjectFile.h" 83 #include "llvm/Target/TargetSubtargetInfo.h" 84 #include <algorithm> 85 using namespace llvm;
