<p>SROA - We've re-written SROA to be significantly more powerful.

|
||||
<p>SROA - We’ve re-written SROA to be significantly more powerful and generate
|
||||
code which is much more friendly to the rest of the optimization pipeline.
|
||||
Previously this pass had scaling problems that required it to only operate on
|
||||
relatively small aggregates, and at times it would mistakenly replace a large
|
||||
aggregate with a single very large integer in order to make it a scalar SSA
|
||||
value. The result was a large number of i1024 and i2048 values representing any
|
||||
small stack buffer. These in turn slowed down many subsequent optimization
|
||||
paths.</p>
|
||||
<p>The new SROA pass uses a different algorithm that allows it to only promote to
|
||||
scalars the pieces of the aggregate actively in use. Because of this it doesn’t
|
||||
require any thresholds. It also always deduces the scalar values from the uses
|
||||
of the aggregate rather than the specific LLVM type of the aggregate. These
|
||||
features combine to both optimize more code with the pass but to improve the
|
||||
compile time of many functions dramatically.</p>
