IR: Split Metadata from Value Split `Metadata` away from the `Value` class hierarchy, as part of PR21532. Assembly and bitcode changes are in the wings, but this is the bulk of the change for the IR C++ API. I have a follow-up patch prepared for `clang`. If this breaks other sub-projects, I apologize in advance :(. Help me compile it on Darwin I'll try to fix it. FWIW, the errors should be easy to fix, so it may be simpler to just fix it yourself. This breaks the build for all metadata-related code that's out-of-tree. Rest assured the transition is mechanical and the compiler should catch almost all of the problems. Here's a quick guide for updating your code: - `Metadata` is the root of a class hierarchy with three main classes: `MDNode`, `MDString`, and `ValueAsMetadata`. It is distinct from the `Value` class hierarchy. It is typeless -- i.e., instances do *not* have a `Type`. - `MDNode`'s operands are all `Metadata *` (instead of `Value *`). - `TrackingVH<MDNode>` and `WeakVH` referring to metadata can be replaced with `TrackingMDNodeRef` and `TrackingMDRef`, respectively. If you're referring solely to resolved `MDNode`s -- post graph construction -- just use `MDNode*`. - `MDNode` (and the rest of `Metadata`) have only limited support for `replaceAllUsesWith()`. As long as an `MDNode` is pointing at a forward declaration -- the result of `MDNode::getTemporary()` -- it maintains a side map of its uses and can RAUW itself. Once the forward declarations are fully resolved RAUW support is dropped on the ground. This means that uniquing collisions on changing operands cause nodes to become "distinct". (This already happened fairly commonly, whenever an operand went to null.) If you're constructing complex (non self-reference) `MDNode` cycles, you need to call `MDNode::resolveCycles()` on each node (or on a top-level node that somehow references all of the nodes). Also, don't do that. Metadata cycles (and the RAUW machinery needed to construct them) are expensive. - An `MDNode` can only refer to a `Constant` through a bridge called `ConstantAsMetadata` (one of the subclasses of `ValueAsMetadata`). As a side effect, accessing an operand of an `MDNode` that is known to be, e.g., `ConstantInt`, takes three steps: first, cast from `Metadata` to `ConstantAsMetadata`; second, extract the `Constant`; third, cast down to `ConstantInt`. The eventual goal is to introduce `MDInt`/`MDFloat`/etc. and have metadata schema owners transition away from using `Constant`s when the type isn't important (and they don't care about referring to `GlobalValue`s). In the meantime, I've added transitional API to the `mdconst` namespace that matches semantics with the old code, in order to avoid adding the error-prone three-step equivalent to every call site. If your old code was: MDNode *N = foo(); bar(isa <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(0))); baz(cast <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(1))); bak(cast_or_null <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(2))); bat(dyn_cast <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(3))); bay(dyn_cast_or_null<ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(4))); you can trivially match its semantics with: MDNode *N = foo(); bar(mdconst::hasa <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(0))); baz(mdconst::extract <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(1))); bak(mdconst::extract_or_null <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(2))); bat(mdconst::dyn_extract <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(3))); bay(mdconst::dyn_extract_or_null<ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(4))); and when you transition your metadata schema to `MDInt`: MDNode *N = foo(); bar(isa <MDInt>(N->getOperand(0))); baz(cast <MDInt>(N->getOperand(1))); bak(cast_or_null <MDInt>(N->getOperand(2))); bat(dyn_cast <MDInt>(N->getOperand(3))); bay(dyn_cast_or_null<MDInt>(N->getOperand(4))); - A `CallInst` -- specifically, intrinsic instructions -- can refer to metadata through a bridge called `MetadataAsValue`. This is a subclass of `Value` where `getType()->isMetadataTy()`. `MetadataAsValue` is the *only* class that can legally refer to a `LocalAsMetadata`, which is a bridged form of non-`Constant` values like `Argument` and `Instruction`. It can also refer to any other `Metadata` subclass.

Simplify and improve scoped-noalias metadata semantics In the process of fixing the noalias parameter -> metadata conversion process that will take place during inlining (which will be committed soon, but not turned on by default), I have come to realize that the semantics provided by yesterday's commit are not really what we want. Here's why: void foo(noalias a, noalias b, noalias c, bool x) { *q = x ? a : b; *c = *q; } Generically, we know that *c does not alias with *a and with *b (so there is an 'and' in what we know we're not), and we know that *q might be derived from *a or from *b (so there is an 'or' in what we know that we are). So we do not want the semantics currently, where any noalias scope matching any alias.scope causes a NoAlias return. What we want to know is that the noalias scopes form a superset of the alias.scope list (meaning that all the things we know we're not is a superset of all of things the other instruction might be). Making that change, however, introduces a composibility problem. If we inline once, adding the noalias metadata, and then inline again adding more, and we append new scopes onto the noalias and alias.scope lists each time. But, this means that we could change what was a NoAlias result previously into a MayAlias result because we appended an additional scope onto one of the alias.scope lists. So, instead of giving scopes the ability to have parents (which I had borrowed from the TBAA implementation, but seems increasingly unlikely to be useful in practice), I've given them domains. The subset/superset condition now applies within each domain independently, and we only need it to hold in one domain. Each time we inline, we add the new scopes in a new scope domain, and everything now composes nicely. In addition, this simplifies the implementation. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@213948 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

Add scoped-noalias metadata This commit adds scoped noalias metadata. The primary motivations for this feature are: 1. To preserve noalias function attribute information when inlining 2. To provide the ability to model block-scope C99 restrict pointers Neither of these two abilities are added here, only the necessary infrastructure. In fact, there should be no change to existing functionality, only the addition of new features. The logic that converts noalias function parameters into this metadata during inlining will come in a follow-up commit. What is added here is the ability to generally specify noalias memory-access sets. Regarding the metadata, alias-analysis scopes are defined similar to TBAA nodes: !scope0 = metadata !{ metadata !"scope of foo()" } !scope1 = metadata !{ metadata !"scope 1", metadata !scope0 } !scope2 = metadata !{ metadata !"scope 2", metadata !scope0 } !scope3 = metadata !{ metadata !"scope 2.1", metadata !scope2 } !scope4 = metadata !{ metadata !"scope 2.2", metadata !scope2 } Loads and stores can be tagged with an alias-analysis scope, and also, with a noalias tag for a specific scope: ... = load %ptr1, !alias.scope !{ !scope1 } ... = load %ptr2, !alias.scope !{ !scope1, !scope2 }, !noalias !{ !scope1 } When evaluating an aliasing query, if one of the instructions is associated with an alias.scope id that is identical to the noalias scope associated with the other instruction, or is a descendant (in the scope hierarchy) of the noalias scope associated with the other instruction, then the two memory accesses are assumed not to alias. Note that is the first element of the scope metadata is a string, then it can be combined accross functions and translation units. The string can be replaced by a self-reference to create globally unqiue scope identifiers. [Note: This overview is slightly stylized, since the metadata nodes really need to just be numbers (!0 instead of !scope0), and the scope lists are also global unnamed metadata.] Existing noalias metadata in a callee is "cloned" for use by the inlined code. This is necessary because the aliasing scopes are unique to each call site (because of possible control dependencies on the aliasing properties). For example, consider a function: foo(noalias a, noalias b) { *a = *b; } that gets inlined into bar() { ... if (...) foo(a1, b1); ... if (...) foo(a2, b2); } -- now just because we know that a1 does not alias with b1 at the first call site, and a2 does not alias with b2 at the second call site, we cannot let inlining these functons have the metadata imply that a1 does not alias with b2. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@213864 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

IR: Split Metadata from Value Split `Metadata` away from the `Value` class hierarchy, as part of PR21532. Assembly and bitcode changes are in the wings, but this is the bulk of the change for the IR C++ API. I have a follow-up patch prepared for `clang`. If this breaks other sub-projects, I apologize in advance :(. Help me compile it on Darwin I'll try to fix it. FWIW, the errors should be easy to fix, so it may be simpler to just fix it yourself. This breaks the build for all metadata-related code that's out-of-tree. Rest assured the transition is mechanical and the compiler should catch almost all of the problems. Here's a quick guide for updating your code: - `Metadata` is the root of a class hierarchy with three main classes: `MDNode`, `MDString`, and `ValueAsMetadata`. It is distinct from the `Value` class hierarchy. It is typeless -- i.e., instances do *not* have a `Type`. - `MDNode`'s operands are all `Metadata *` (instead of `Value *`). - `TrackingVH<MDNode>` and `WeakVH` referring to metadata can be replaced with `TrackingMDNodeRef` and `TrackingMDRef`, respectively. If you're referring solely to resolved `MDNode`s -- post graph construction -- just use `MDNode*`. - `MDNode` (and the rest of `Metadata`) have only limited support for `replaceAllUsesWith()`. As long as an `MDNode` is pointing at a forward declaration -- the result of `MDNode::getTemporary()` -- it maintains a side map of its uses and can RAUW itself. Once the forward declarations are fully resolved RAUW support is dropped on the ground. This means that uniquing collisions on changing operands cause nodes to become "distinct". (This already happened fairly commonly, whenever an operand went to null.) If you're constructing complex (non self-reference) `MDNode` cycles, you need to call `MDNode::resolveCycles()` on each node (or on a top-level node that somehow references all of the nodes). Also, don't do that. Metadata cycles (and the RAUW machinery needed to construct them) are expensive. - An `MDNode` can only refer to a `Constant` through a bridge called `ConstantAsMetadata` (one of the subclasses of `ValueAsMetadata`). As a side effect, accessing an operand of an `MDNode` that is known to be, e.g., `ConstantInt`, takes three steps: first, cast from `Metadata` to `ConstantAsMetadata`; second, extract the `Constant`; third, cast down to `ConstantInt`. The eventual goal is to introduce `MDInt`/`MDFloat`/etc. and have metadata schema owners transition away from using `Constant`s when the type isn't important (and they don't care about referring to `GlobalValue`s). In the meantime, I've added transitional API to the `mdconst` namespace that matches semantics with the old code, in order to avoid adding the error-prone three-step equivalent to every call site. If your old code was: MDNode *N = foo(); bar(isa <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(0))); baz(cast <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(1))); bak(cast_or_null <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(2))); bat(dyn_cast <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(3))); bay(dyn_cast_or_null<ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(4))); you can trivially match its semantics with: MDNode *N = foo(); bar(mdconst::hasa <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(0))); baz(mdconst::extract <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(1))); bak(mdconst::extract_or_null <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(2))); bat(mdconst::dyn_extract <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(3))); bay(mdconst::dyn_extract_or_null<ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(4))); and when you transition your metadata schema to `MDInt`: MDNode *N = foo(); bar(isa <MDInt>(N->getOperand(0))); baz(cast <MDInt>(N->getOperand(1))); bak(cast_or_null <MDInt>(N->getOperand(2))); bat(dyn_cast <MDInt>(N->getOperand(3))); bay(dyn_cast_or_null<MDInt>(N->getOperand(4))); - A `CallInst` -- specifically, intrinsic instructions -- can refer to metadata through a bridge called `MetadataAsValue`. This is a subclass of `Value` where `getType()->isMetadataTy()`. `MetadataAsValue` is the *only* class that can legally refer to a `LocalAsMetadata`, which is a bridged form of non-`Constant` values like `Argument` and `Instruction`. It can also refer to any other `Metadata` subclass.

Simplify and improve scoped-noalias metadata semantics In the process of fixing the noalias parameter -> metadata conversion process that will take place during inlining (which will be committed soon, but not turned on by default), I have come to realize that the semantics provided by yesterday's commit are not really what we want. Here's why: void foo(noalias a, noalias b, noalias c, bool x) { *q = x ? a : b; *c = *q; } Generically, we know that *c does not alias with *a and with *b (so there is an 'and' in what we know we're not), and we know that *q might be derived from *a or from *b (so there is an 'or' in what we know that we are). So we do not want the semantics currently, where any noalias scope matching any alias.scope causes a NoAlias return. What we want to know is that the noalias scopes form a superset of the alias.scope list (meaning that all the things we know we're not is a superset of all of things the other instruction might be). Making that change, however, introduces a composibility problem. If we inline once, adding the noalias metadata, and then inline again adding more, and we append new scopes onto the noalias and alias.scope lists each time. But, this means that we could change what was a NoAlias result previously into a MayAlias result because we appended an additional scope onto one of the alias.scope lists. So, instead of giving scopes the ability to have parents (which I had borrowed from the TBAA implementation, but seems increasingly unlikely to be useful in practice), I've given them domains. The subset/superset condition now applies within each domain independently, and we only need it to hold in one domain. Each time we inline, we add the new scopes in a new scope domain, and everything now composes nicely. In addition, this simplifies the implementation. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@213948 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

Add scoped-noalias metadata This commit adds scoped noalias metadata. The primary motivations for this feature are: 1. To preserve noalias function attribute information when inlining 2. To provide the ability to model block-scope C99 restrict pointers Neither of these two abilities are added here, only the necessary infrastructure. In fact, there should be no change to existing functionality, only the addition of new features. The logic that converts noalias function parameters into this metadata during inlining will come in a follow-up commit. What is added here is the ability to generally specify noalias memory-access sets. Regarding the metadata, alias-analysis scopes are defined similar to TBAA nodes: !scope0 = metadata !{ metadata !"scope of foo()" } !scope1 = metadata !{ metadata !"scope 1", metadata !scope0 } !scope2 = metadata !{ metadata !"scope 2", metadata !scope0 } !scope3 = metadata !{ metadata !"scope 2.1", metadata !scope2 } !scope4 = metadata !{ metadata !"scope 2.2", metadata !scope2 } Loads and stores can be tagged with an alias-analysis scope, and also, with a noalias tag for a specific scope: ... = load %ptr1, !alias.scope !{ !scope1 } ... = load %ptr2, !alias.scope !{ !scope1, !scope2 }, !noalias !{ !scope1 } When evaluating an aliasing query, if one of the instructions is associated with an alias.scope id that is identical to the noalias scope associated with the other instruction, or is a descendant (in the scope hierarchy) of the noalias scope associated with the other instruction, then the two memory accesses are assumed not to alias. Note that is the first element of the scope metadata is a string, then it can be combined accross functions and translation units. The string can be replaced by a self-reference to create globally unqiue scope identifiers. [Note: This overview is slightly stylized, since the metadata nodes really need to just be numbers (!0 instead of !scope0), and the scope lists are also global unnamed metadata.] Existing noalias metadata in a callee is "cloned" for use by the inlined code.

IR: Split Metadata from Value Split `Metadata` away from the `Value` class hierarchy, as part of PR21532. Assembly and bitcode changes are in the wings, but this is the bulk of the change for the IR C++ API. I have a follow-up patch prepared for `clang`. If this breaks other sub-projects, I apologize in advance :(. Help me compile it on Darwin I'll try to fix it. FWIW, the errors should be easy to fix, so it may be simpler to just fix it yourself. This breaks the build for all metadata-related code that's out-of-tree. Rest assured the transition is mechanical and the compiler should catch almost all of the problems. Here's a quick guide for updating your code: - `Metadata` is the root of a class hierarchy with three main classes: `MDNode`, `MDString`, and `ValueAsMetadata`. It is distinct from the `Value` class hierarchy. It is typeless -- i.e., instances do *not* have a `Type`. - `MDNode`'s operands are all `Metadata *` (instead of `Value *`). - `TrackingVH<MDNode>` and `WeakVH` referring to metadata can be replaced with `TrackingMDNodeRef` and `TrackingMDRef`, respectively. If you're referring solely to resolved `MDNode`s -- post graph construction -- just use `MDNode*`. - `MDNode` (and the rest of `Metadata`) have only limited support for `replaceAllUsesWith()`. As long as an `MDNode` is pointing at a forward declaration -- the result of `MDNode::getTemporary()` -- it maintains a side map of its uses and can RAUW itself. Once the forward declarations are fully resolved RAUW support is dropped on the ground. This means that uniquing collisions on changing operands cause nodes to become "distinct". (This already happened fairly commonly, whenever an operand went to null.) If you're constructing complex (non self-reference) `MDNode` cycles, you need to call `MDNode::resolveCycles()` on each node (or on a top-level node that somehow references all of the nodes). Also, don't do that. Metadata cycles (and the RAUW machinery needed to construct them) are expensive. - An `MDNode` can only refer to a `Constant` through a bridge called `ConstantAsMetadata` (one of the subclasses of `ValueAsMetadata`). As a side effect, accessing an operand of an `MDNode` that is known to be, e.g., `ConstantInt`, takes three steps: first, cast from `Metadata` to `ConstantAsMetadata`; second, extract the `Constant`; third, cast down to `ConstantInt`. The eventual goal is to introduce `MDInt`/`MDFloat`/etc. and have metadata schema owners transition away from using `Constant`s when the type isn't important (and they don't care about referring to `GlobalValue`s). In the meantime, I've added transitional API to the `mdconst` namespace that matches semantics with the old code, in order to avoid adding the error-prone three-step equivalent to every call site. If your old code was: MDNode *N = foo(); bar(isa <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(0))); baz(cast <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(1))); bak(cast_or_null <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(2))); bat(dyn_cast <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(3))); bay(dyn_cast_or_null<ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(4))); you can trivially match its semantics with: MDNode *N = foo(); bar(mdconst::hasa <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(0))); baz(mdconst::extract <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(1))); bak(mdconst::extract_or_null <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(2))); bat(mdconst::dyn_extract <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(3))); bay(mdconst::dyn_extract_or_null<ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(4))); and when you transition your metadata schema to `MDInt`: MDNode *N = foo(); bar(isa <MDInt>(N->getOperand(0))); baz(cast <MDInt>(N->getOperand(1))); bak(cast_or_null <MDInt>(N->getOperand(2))); bat(dyn_cast <MDInt>(N->getOperand(3))); bay(dyn_cast_or_null<MDInt>(N->getOperand(4))); - A `CallInst` -- specifically, intrinsic instructions -- can refer to metadata through a bridge called `MetadataAsValue`.
