robust. It now uses an InstVisitor and worklist to actually walk the
uses of the Alloca transitively and detect the pattern which we can
directly promote: loads & stores of the whole alloca and instructions we
can completely ignore.
Also, with this new implementation teach both the predicate for testing
whether we can promote and the promotion engine itself to use the same
code so we no longer have strange divergence between the two code paths.
I've added some silly test cases to demonstrate that we can handle
slightly more degenerate code patterns now. See the below for why this
is even interesting.
Performance impact: roughly 1% regression in the performance of SROA or
ScalarRepl on a large C++-ish test case where most of the allocas are
basically ready for promotion. The reason is because of silly redundant
work that I've left FIXMEs for and which I'll address in the next
commit. I wanted to separate this commit as it changes the behavior.
Once the redundant work in removing the dead uses of the alloca is
fixed, this code appears to be faster than the old version. =]
So why is this useful? Because the previous requirement for promotion
required a *specific* visit pattern of the uses of the alloca to verify:
we *had* to look for no more than 1 intervening use. The end goal is to
have SROA automatically detect when an alloca is already promotable and
directly hand it to the mem2reg machinery rather than trying to
partition and rewrite it. This is a 25% or more performance improvement
for SROA, and a significant chunk of the delta between it and
ScalarRepl. To get there, we need to make mem2reg actually capable of
promoting allocas which *look* promotable to SROA without have SROA do
tons of work to massage the code into just the right form.
This is actually the tip of the iceberg. There are tremendous potential
savings we can realize here by de-duplicating work between mem2reg and
SROA.

The language reference says that:
"If a symbol appears in the @llvm.used list, then the compiler,
assembler, and linker are required to treat the symbol as if there is
a reference to the symbol that it cannot see"
Since even the linker cannot see the reference, we must assume that
the reference can be using the symbol table. For example, a user can add
__attribute__((used)) to a debug helper function like dump and use it from
a debugger.

helper function. This leaves both trivial cases handled entirely in
helper functions and merely manages the list of allocas to process in
the run method.
The next step will be to handle all of the trivial promotion work prior
to even creating the core class and the subsequent simplifications that
enables.

a single block into the helper routine. This takes advantage of the fact
that we can directly replace uses prior to any store with undef to
simplify matters and unconditionally promote allocas only used within
one block.
I've removed the special handling for the case of no stores existing.
This has no semantic effect but might slow things down. I'll fix that in
a later patch when I refactor this entire thing to be easier to manage
the different cases.

handles the general cases.
The hope is to refactor this so that we don't end up building the entire
class for the trivial cases. I also want to lift a lot of the early
pre-processing in the initial segment of run() into a separate routine,
and really none of it needs to happen inside the primary promotion
class.
These routines in particular used none of the actual state in the
promotion class, so they don't really make sense as members.

predecessors of the two blocks it is attempting to merge supply the
same incoming values to any phi in the successor block. This change
allows merging in the case where there is one or more incoming values
that are undef. The undef values are rewritten to match the non-undef
value that flows from the other edge. Patch by Mark Lacey.

A special case list can now specify categories for specific globals,
which can be used to instruct an instrumentation pass to treat certain
functions or global variables in a specific way, such as by omitting
certain aspects of instrumentation while keeping others, or informing
the instrumentation pass that a specific uninstrumentable function
has certain semantics, thus allowing the pass to instrument callers
according to those semantics.
For example, AddressSanitizer now uses the "init" category instead of
global-init prefixes for globals whose initializers should not be
instrumented, but which in all other respects should be instrumented.
The motivating use case is DataFlowSanitizer, which will have a
number of different categories for uninstrumentable functions, such
as "functional" which specifies that a function has pure functional
semantics, or "discard" which indicates that a function's return
value should not be labelled.

This allows us to create switches even if instcombine has munged two of the

It should suffice to check the type of a debug info metadata, instead of
calling Verify. For cases where we know the type of a DI metadata, use
assert.
Also update testing cases to make them conform to the format of DI classes.

This commit completely removes what is left of the simplify-libcalls

The problem this time seems to be a thinko. We were assuming that in the CFG
A
| \
| B
| /
C
speculating the basic block B would cause only the phi value for the B->C edge
to be speculated. That is not true, the phi's are semantically in the edges, so
if the A->B->C path is taken, any code needed for A->C is not executed and we
have to consider it too when deciding to speculate B.

PR16069 is an interesting case where an incoming value to a PHI is a
trap value while also being a 'ConstantExpr'.
We do not consider this case when performing the 'HoistThenElseCodeToIf'
optimization.
Instead, make our modifications more conservative if we detect that we
cannot transform the PHI to a select.

Other passes, PPC counter-loop formation for example, also need to add loop
preheaders outside of the regular loop simplification pass. This makes
InsertPreheaderForLoop a global function so that it can be used by other
passes.

the things, and renames it to CBindingWrapping.h. I also moved
CBindingWrapping.h into Support/.
This new file just contains the macros for defining different wrap/unwrap
methods.
The calls to those macros, as well as any custom wrap/unwrap definitions
(like for array of Values for example), are put into corresponding C++
headers.
Doing this required some #include surgery, since some .cpp files relied
on the fact that including Wrap.h implicitly caused the inclusion of a
bunch of other things.
This also now means that the C++ headers will include their corresponding
C API headers; for example Value.h must include llvm-c/Core.h. I think
this is harmless, since the C API headers contain just external function
declarations and some C types, so I don't believe there should be any
nasty dependency issues here.

This resurrects r179957, but adds code that makes sure we don't touch
atomic/volatile stores:
This transformation will transform a conditional store with a preceeding
uncondtional store to the same location:
a[i] =
may-alias with a[i] load
if (cond)
a[i] = Y
into an unconditional store.
a[i] = X
may-alias with a[i] load
tmp = cond ? Y : X;
a[i] = tmp
We assume that on average the cost of a mispredicted branch is going to be
higher than the cost of a second store to the same location, and that the
secondary benefits of creating a bigger basic block for other optimizations to
work on outway the potential case where the branch would be correctly predicted
and the cost of the executing the second store would be noticably reflected in
performance.
hmmer's execution time improves by 30% on an imac12,2 on ref data sets. With
this change we are on par with gcc's performance (gcc also performs this
transformation). There was a 1.2 % performance improvement on a ARM swift chip.
Other tests in the test-suite+external seem to be mostly uninfluenced in my
experiments:
This optimization was triggered on 41 tests such that the executable was
different before/after the patch. Only 1 out of the 40 tests (dealII) was
reproducable below 100% (by about .4%). Given that hmmer benefits so much I
believe this to be a fair trade off.

Since we can't guarantee that the original dbg.declare instrinsic

not inserting the same dbg.value intrinsic over and over.
