compensation for turning off gcc's inliner. This gets
us closer to the amount of inlining we were getting before.
It is not a win on everything, of course, but seems to
gain overall.

canonicalization transform based on duncan's comments:
1) improve the comment about %.
2) within our index loop make sure the offset stays
within the *type size*, instead of within the *abi size*.
This allows us to reason explicitly about landing in tail
padding and means that issues like non-zero offsets into
[0 x foo] types don't occur anymore.

functions that don't already have a (dynamic) alloca.
Dynamic allocas cause inefficient codegen and we shouldn't
propagate this (behavior follows gcc). Two existing tests
assumed such inlining would be done; they are hacked by
adding an alloca in the caller, preserving the point of
the tests.
llvm-svn: 61946
loads from allocas that cover the entire aggregate. This handles
some memcpy/byval cases that are produced by llvm-gcc. This triggers
a few times in kc++ (with std::pair<std::_Rb_tree_const_iterator
<kc::impl_abstract_phylum*>,bool>) and once in 176.gcc (with %struct..0anon).
llvm-svn: 61915
was it not very helpful, it was also wrong! The problem
is shown in the testcase: the alloca might be passed to
a nocapture callee which dereferences it and returns the
original pointer. But because it was a nocapture call we
think we don't need to track its uses, but we do.

integer to a (transitive) bitcast the alloca and if that integer
has the full size of the alloca, then it clobbers the whole thing.
Handle this by extracting pieces out of the stored integer and
filing them away in the SROA'd elements.
This triggers fairly frequently because the CFE uses integers to
pass small structs by value and the inliner exposes these. For
example, in kimwitu++, I see a bunch of these with i64 stores to
"%struct.std::pair<std::_Rb_tree_const_iterator<kc::impl_abstract_phylum*>,bool>"
In 176.gcc I see a few i32 stores to "%struct..0anon".
In the testcase, this is a difference between compiling test1 to:
_test1:
subl $12, %esp
movl 20(%esp), %eax
movl %eax, 4(%esp)
movl 16(%esp), %eax
movl %eax, (%esp)
movl (%esp), %eax
addl 4(%esp), %eax
addl $12, %esp
ret
vs:
_test1:
movl 8(%esp), %eax
addl 4(%esp), %eax
ret
The second half of this will be to handle loads of the same form.

In fact this also deletes those with linkonce linkage,
however this is currently dead because for the moment
aliases aren't allowed to have this linkage type.
llvm-svn: 61742
Finalization occurs after all the FunctionPasses in the group have run, which
is clearly not what we want.
This also means that we have to make sure that we apply the right param
attributes when creating a new function.
Also, add a missed optimization: strdup and strndup. NoCapture and
NoAlias return!
llvm-svn: 61658
not have pointer type. In particular, it may
be the condition argument for a select or a GEP
index. While I was unable to construct a testcase
for which some bits of the original pointer are
captured due to one of these, it's very very close
to being possible - so play safe and exclude these
possibilities.

the argument to be stored to an alloca by tracking uses
of the alloca. This occurs 4 times (out of 7121, 0.05%)
in MultiSource/Applications, so may not be worth it. On
the other hand, it is easy to do and fairly cheap. The
functions it helps are: W_addcom and W_addlit in spiff;
process_args (argv) in d (make_dparser); ercPixConcealIMB
in JM/ldecod.
llvm-svn: 61570
functions that don't write can't leak a pointer except through
the return value, so a void readonly function is implicitly nocapture.
Test these, and add a test that verifies that f1 calling f2 with an
otherwise dead pointer gets both of them marked nocapture.
llvm-svn: 61552
to work out (in a very simplistic way) which function
arguments (pointer arguments only) are only dereferenced
and so do not escape. Mark such arguments 'nocapture'.
