different core implementation strategy. Previously, SROA would build a relatively elaborate partitioning of an alloca, associate uses with each partition, and then rewrite the uses of each partition in an attempt to break apart the alloca into chunks that could be promoted. This was very wasteful in terms of memory and compile time because regardless of how complex the alloca or how much we're able to do in breaking it up, all of the datastructure work to analyze the partitioning was done up front. The new implementation attempts to form partitions of the alloca lazily and on the fly, rewriting the uses that make up that partition as it goes. This has a few significant effects: 1) Much simpler data structures are used throughout. 2) No more double walk of the recursive use graph of the alloca, only walk it once. 3) No more complex algorithms for associating a particular use with a particular partition. 4) PHI and Select speculation is simplified and happens lazily. 5) More precise information is available about a specific use of the alloca, removing the need for some side datastructures. Ultimately, I think this is a much better implementation. It removes about 300 lines of code, but arguably removes more like 500 considering that some code grew in the process of being factored apart and cleaned up for this all to work. I've re-used as much of the old implementation as possible, which includes the lion's share of code in the form of the rewriting logic. The interesting new logic centers around how the uses of a partition are sorted, and split into actual partitions. Each instruction using a pointer derived from the alloca gets a 'Partition' entry. This name is totally wrong, but I'll do a rename in a follow-up commit as there is already enough churn here. The entry describes the offset range accessed and the nature of the access. Once we have all of these entries we sort them in a very specific way: increasing order of begin offset, followed by whether they are splittable uses (memcpy, etc), followed by the end offset or whatever. Sorting by splittability is important as it simplifies the collection of uses into a partition. Once we have these uses sorted, we walk from the beginning to the end building up a range of uses that form a partition of the alloca. Overlapping unsplittable uses are merged into a single partition while splittable uses are broken apart and carried from one partition to the next. A partition is also introduced to bridge splittable uses between the unsplittable regions when necessary. I've looked at the performance PRs fairly closely. PR15471 no longer will even load (the module is invalid). Not sure what is up there. PR15412 improves by between 5% and 10%, however it is nearly impossible to know what is holding it up as SROA (the entire pass) takes less time than reading the IR for that test case. The analysis takes the same time as running mem2reg on the final allocas. I suspect (without much evidence) that the new implementation will scale much better however, and it is just the small nature of the test cases that makes the changes small and noisy. Either way, it is still simpler and cleaner I think. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@186316 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8 |
