Since mem2reg isn't run at -O0, we get a ton of reloads from the stack,
for example, before, this code:
int foo(int x, int y, int z) {
return x+y+z;
}
used to compile into:
_foo: ## @foo
subq $12, %rsp
movl %edi, 8(%rsp)
movl %esi, 4(%rsp)
movl %edx, (%rsp)
movl 8(%rsp), %edx
movl 4(%rsp), %esi
addl %edx, %esi
movl (%rsp), %edx
addl %esi, %edx
movl %edx, %eax
addq $12, %rsp
ret
Now we produce:
_foo: ## @foo
subq $12, %rsp
movl %edi, 8(%rsp)
movl %esi, 4(%rsp)
movl %edx, (%rsp)
movl 8(%rsp), %edx
addl 4(%rsp), %edx ## Folded load
addl (%rsp), %edx ## Folded load
movl %edx, %eax
addq $12, %rsp
ret
Fewer instructions and less register use = faster compiles.
