The primary advantage is that loop optimizations will be applied in a stable order. This helps debugging and unit test creation. It is also a better overall implementation without pathologically bad performance on deep functions. On large functions (llvm-stress --size=200000 | opt -loops) Before: 0.1263s After: 0.0225s On deep functions (after tweaking llvm-stress, thanks Nadav): Before: 0.2281s After: 0.0227s See r158790 for more comments. The loop tree is now consistently generated in forward order, but loop passes are applied in reverse order over the program. If we have a loop optimization that prefers forward order, that can easily be achieved by adding a different type of LoopPassManager. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@159183 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

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))
