The SCEV Validator is used to check if the bound of a loop can be translated into a polyhedral constraint. The new validator is more general as the check used previously and e.g. allows bounds like 'smax 1, %a'. At the moment, we only allow signed comparisons. Also, the new validator is only used to verify loop bounds. Memory accesses are still handled by the old validator. llvm-svn: 143576
Polly - Polyhedral optimizations for LLVM Polly uses a mathematical representation, the polyhedral model, to represent and transform loops and other control flow structures. Using an abstract representation it is possible to reason about transformations in a more general way and to use highly optimized linear programming libraries to figure out the optimal loop structure. These transformations can be used to do constant propagation through arrays, remove dead loop iterations, optimize loops for cache locality, optimize arrays, apply advanced automatic parallelization, drive vectorization, or they can be used to do software pipelining.
