Enhances basic alias analysis to recognize phis whose first incoming values are NoAlias and whose other incoming values are just the phi node itself through some amount of recursion. Example: With this change basicaa reports that ptr_phi and ptr_phi2 do not alias each other. bb: ptr = ptr2 + 1 loop: ptr_phi = phi [bb, ptr], [loop, ptr_plus_one] ptr2_phi = phi [bb, ptr2], [loop, ptr2_plus_one] ... ptr_plus_one = gep ptr_phi, 1 ptr2_plus_one = gep ptr2_phi, 1 This enables the elimination of one load in code like the following: extern int foo; int test_noalias(int *ptr, int num, int* coeff) { int *ptr2 = ptr; int result = (*ptr++) * (*coeff--); while (num--) { *ptr2++ = *ptr; result += (*coeff--) * (*ptr++); } *ptr = foo; return result; } Part 2/2 of fix for PR13564. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@163319 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
Analysis Opportunities: //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===// In test/Transforms/LoopStrengthReduce/quadradic-exit-value.ll, the ScalarEvolution expression for %r is this: {1,+,3,+,2}<loop> Outside the loop, this could be evaluated simply as (%n * %n), however ScalarEvolution currently evaluates it as (-2 + (2 * (trunc i65 (((zext i64 (-2 + %n) to i65) * (zext i64 (-1 + %n) to i65)) /u 2) to i64)) + (3 * %n)) In addition to being much more complicated, it involves i65 arithmetic, which is very inefficient when expanded into code. //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===// In formatValue in test/CodeGen/X86/lsr-delayed-fold.ll, ScalarEvolution is forming this expression: ((trunc i64 (-1 * %arg5) to i32) + (trunc i64 %arg5 to i32) + (-1 * (trunc i64 undef to i32))) This could be folded to (-1 * (trunc i64 undef to i32)) //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
