Hal Finkel e14fb07357 Consider (x == -1) unlikely in BranchProbabilityInfo This adds another heuristic to BPI, similar to the existing heuristic that considers (x == 0) unlikely to be true. As suggested in the PACT'98 paper by Deitrich, Cheng, and Hwu, -1 is often used to indicate an invalid index, and equality comparisons with -1 are also unlikely to succeed. Local experimentation supports this hypothesis: This yields a 1-2% speedup in the test-suite sqlite benchmark on the PPC A2 core, with no significant regressions. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@193855 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8		2013-11-01 10:58:22 +00:00

Analysis Opportunities:

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

In test/Transforms/LoopStrengthReduce/quadradic-exit-value.ll, the
ScalarEvolution expression for %r is this:

  {1,+,3,+,2}<loop>

Outside the loop, this could be evaluated simply as (%n * %n), however
ScalarEvolution currently evaluates it as

  (-2 + (2 * (trunc i65 (((zext i64 (-2 + %n) to i65) * (zext i64 (-1 + %n) to i65)) /u 2) to i64)) + (3 * %n))

In addition to being much more complicated, it involves i65 arithmetic,
which is very inefficient when expanded into code.

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

In formatValue in test/CodeGen/X86/lsr-delayed-fold.ll,

ScalarEvolution is forming this expression:

((trunc i64 (-1 * %arg5) to i32) + (trunc i64 %arg5 to i32) + (-1 * (trunc i64 undef to i32)))

This could be folded to

(-1 * (trunc i64 undef to i32))
