/* Title: FunctionLiveVarInfo.h -*- C++ -*-
Author: Ruchira Sasanka
Date: Jun 30, 01
Purpose:
This is the interface for live variable info of a function that is required
by any other part of the compiler
It must be called like:
FunctionLiveVarInfo FLVI(Function *); // initializes data structures
FLVI.analyze(); // do the actural live variable anal
After the analysis, getInSetOfBB or getOutSetofBB can be called to get
live var info of a BB.
The live var set before an instruction can be obtained in 2 ways:
1. Use the method getLiveVarSetAfterInst(Instruction *) to get the LV Info
just after an instruction. (also exists getLiveVarSetBeforeInst(..))
This function caluclates the LV info for a BB only once and caches that
info. If the cache does not contain the LV info of the instruction, it
calculates the LV info for the whole BB and caches them.
Getting liveVar info this way uses more memory since, LV info should be
cached. However, if you need LV info of nearly all the instructions of a
BB, this is the best and simplest interfrace.
2. Use the OutSet and applyTranferFuncForInst(const Instruction *const Inst)
declared in LiveVarSet and traverse the instructions of a basic block in
reverse (using const_reverse_iterator in the BB class).
This is the most memory efficient method if you need LV info for
only several instructions in a BasicBlock. An example is given below:
LiveVarSet LVSet; // this will be the set used to traverse through each BB
// Initialize LVSet so that it is the same as OutSet of the BB
LVSet.setUnion( LVI->getOutSetOfBB( *BBI ) );
BasicBlock::InstListType::const_reverse_iterator
InstIterator = InstListInBB.rbegin(); // get the rev iter for inst in BB
// iterate over all the instructions in BB in reverse
for( ; InstIterator != InstListInBB.rend(); InstIterator++) {
//...... all code here which uses LVSet ........
LVSet.applyTranferFuncForInst(*InstIterator);
// Now LVSet contains live vars ABOVE the current instrution
}
See buildInterferenceGraph() for the above example.
