Summary:
Fixes PR26774.
If you're aware of the issue, feel free to skip the "Motivation"
section and jump directly to "This patch".
Motivation:
I define "refinement" as discarding behaviors from a program that the
optimizer has license to discard. So transforming:
```
void f(unsigned x) {
unsigned t = 5 / x;
(void)t;
}
```
to
```
void f(unsigned x) { }
```
is refinement, since the behavior went from "if x == 0 then undefined
else nothing" to "nothing" (the optimizer has license to discard
undefined behavior).
Refinement is a fundamental aspect of many mid-level optimizations done
by LLVM. For instance, transforming `x == (x + 1)` to `false` also
involves refinement since the expression's value went from "if x is
`undef` then { `true` or `false` } else { `false` }" to "`false`" (by
definition, the optimizer has license to fold `undef` to any non-`undef`
value).
Unfortunately, refinement implies that the optimizer cannot assume
that the implementation of a function it can see has all of the
behavior an unoptimized or a differently optimized version of the same
function can have. This is a problem for functions with comdat
linkage, where a function can be replaced by an unoptimized or a
differently optimized version of the same source level function.
For instance, FunctionAttrs cannot assume a comdat function is
actually `readnone` even if it does not have any loads or stores in
it; since there may have been loads and stores in the "original
function" that were refined out in the currently visible variant, and
at the link step the linker may in fact choose an implementation with
a load or a store. As an example, consider a function that does two
atomic loads from the same memory location, and writes to memory only
if the two values are not equal. The optimizer is allowed to refine
this function by first CSE'ing the two loads, and the folding the
comparision to always report that the two values are equal. Such a
refined variant will look like it is `readonly`. However, the
unoptimized version of the function can still write to memory (since
the two loads //can// result in different values), and selecting the
unoptimized version at link time will retroactively invalidate
transforms we may have done under the assumption that the function
does not write to memory.
Note: this is not just a problem with atomics or with linking
differently optimized object files. See PR26774 for more realistic
examples that involved neither.
This patch:
This change introduces a new set of linkage types, predicated as
`GlobalValue::mayBeDerefined` that returns true if the linkage type
allows a function to be replaced by a differently optimized variant at
link time. It then changes a set of IPO passes to bail out if they see
such a function.

Summary:
This form was replaced by a form taking an instruction instead of opcode and
return type in r258391. After committing this change (and some depending,
follow-up changes) it turned out in the review thread to be controversial. The
discussion didn't come to a conclusion yet. I'm re-adding the old form to fix
the API regression and to provide a better base for discussion, possibly on
llvm-dev.
A difference to the original function is that it can't be called with GEPs
(similarly to how it was already the case for compares). In order to support
opaque pointers in the future, folding GEPs needs to be passed the source
element type, which is not possible with the current API.

This undoes the change made in r258163. The assertion fails if `Ptr` is of a
vector type. The previous code doesn't look completely correct either, so I'll
investigate this more.
llvm-svn: 258411
Summary:
The previous form, taking opcode and type, is moved to an internal
helper and the new form, taking an instruction, is a wrapper around this
helper.
Although this is a slight cleanup on its own, the main motivation is to
refactor the constant folding API to ease migration to opaque pointers.
This will be follow-up work.

The pointer size of the addrspacecasted pointer might not have matched,
so this would have hit an assert in accumulateConstantOffset.
I think this was here to allow constant folding of a load of an
addrspacecasted constant. Accumulating the offset through the
addrspacecast doesn't make much sense, so something else is necessary
to allow folding the load through this cast.

The MSVC ABI requires that we generate an alias for the vtable which
means looking through a GlobalAlias which cannot be overridden improves
our ability to devirtualize.

Function 'ConstantFoldScalarCall' (in ConstantFolding.cpp) works under the
wrong assumption that a call to 'convert.from.fp16' returns a value of
type 'float'.
However, intrinsic 'convert.from.fp16' can be overloaded; for example, we
can call 'convert.from.fp16.f64' to convert from half to double; etc.
Before this patch, the following example would have triggered an assertion
failure in opt (with -constprop):
```
define double @foo() {
entry:
%0 = call double @llvm.convert.from.fp16.f64(i16 0)
ret double %0
}
```
This patch fixes the problem in ConstantFolding.cpp. When folding a call to
convert.from.fp16, we perform a different kind of conversion based on the call
return type.
Added test 'Transform/ConstProp/convert-from-fp16.ll'.

Require the pointee type to be passed explicitly and assert that it is
correct. For now it's possible to pass nullptr here (and I've done so in
a few places in this patch) but eventually that will be disallowed once
all clients have been updated or removed. It'll be a long road to get
all the way there... but if you have the cahnce to update your callers
to pass the type explicitly without depending on a pointer's element
type, that would be a good thing to do soon and a necessary thing to do
eventually.

This pushes the use of PointerType::getElementType up into several

Summary:
Now that the DataLayout is a mandatory part of the module, let's start
cleaning the codebase. This patch is a first attempt at doing that.
This patch is not exactly NFC as for instance some places were passing
a nullptr instead of the DataLayout, possibly just because there was a
default value on the DataLayout argument to many functions in the API.
Even though it is not purely NFC, there is no change in the
validation.
I turned as many pointer to DataLayout to references, this helped
figuring out all the places where a nullptr could come up.
I had initially a local version of this patch broken into over 30
independant, commits but some later commit were cleaning the API and
touching part of the code modified in the previous commits, so it
seemed cleaner without the intermediate state.

While the term "Target" is in the name, it doesn't really have to do
with the LLVM Target library -- this isn't an abstraction which LLVM
targets generally need to implement or extend. It has much more to do
with modeling the various runtime libraries on different OSes and with
different runtime environments. The "target" in this sense is the more
general sense of a target of cross compilation.
This is in preparation for porting this analysis to the new pass
manager.
No functionality changed, and updates inbound for Clang and Polly.

This is to be consistent with StringSet and ultimately with the standard
library's associative container insert function.
This lead to updating SmallSet::insert to return pair<iterator, bool>,
and then to update SmallPtrSet::insert to return pair<iterator, bool>,
and then to update all the existing users of those functions...

ConstantFolding crashes when trying to InstSimplify the following load:
@a = private unnamed_addr constant %mst {
i8* inttoptr (i64 -1 to i8*),
i8* inttoptr (i64 -1 to i8*)
}, align 8
%x = load <2 x i8*>* bitcast (%mst* @a to <2 x i8*>*), align 8
This patch fix this by adding support to this type of folding:
%x = load <2 x i8*>* bitcast (%mst* @a to <2 x i8*>*), align 8
==> gets folded to:
%x = <2 x i8*> <i8* inttoptr (i64 -1 to i8*), i8* inttoptr (i64 -1 to i8*)>

These are named following the IEEE-754 names for these
functions, rather than the libm fmin / fmax to avoid
possible ambiguities. Some languages may implement something
resembling fmin / fmax which return NaN if either operand is
to propagate errors. These implement the IEEE-754 semantics
of returning the other operand if either is a NaN representing
missing data.

The sqrt of a negative number when using the llvm intrinsic is undefined.
We should return undef rather than 0.0 to match the definition in the LLVM IR lang ref.
This change should not affect any code that isn't using "no-nans-fp-math";
ie, no-nans is a requirement for generating the llvm intrinsic in place of a sqrt function call.
Unfortunately, the behavior introduced by this patch will not match current gcc, xlc, icc, and
possibly other compilers. The current clang/llvm behavior of returning 0.0 doesn't either.
We knowingly approve of this difference with the other compilers in an attempt to flag code
that is invoking undefined behavior.
A front-end warning should also try to convince the user that the program will fail:

Tested and works fine with clang using libstdc++.

Support headers shouldn't use config.h definitions, and they should never be
undefined like this.
ConstantFolding.cpp was the only user of this facility and already includes
config.h for other math features, so it makes sense to move the checks there at
point of use.
(The implicit config.h was also quite dangerous -- removing the FEnv.h include
would have silently disabled math constant folding without causing any tests to
fail. Need to investigate -Wundef once the cleanup is done.)
This eliminates the last config.h include from LLVM headers, paving the way for
more consistent configuration checks.
llvm-svn: 210483
much more effectively when trying to constant fold a load of a constant.
Previously, we only handled bitcasts by trying to find a totally generic
byte representation of the constant and use that. Now, we look through
the bitcast to see what constant we might fold the load into, and then
try to form a constant expression cast of the found value that would be
equivalent to loading the value.
You might wonder why on earth this actually matters. Well, turns out
that the Itanium ABI causes us to create a single array for a vtable
where the first elements are virtual base offsets, followed by the
virtual function pointers. Because the array is homogenous the element
type is consistently i8* and we inttoptr the virtual base offsets into
the initial elements.
Then constructors bitcast these pointers to i64 pointers prior to
loading them. Boom, no more constant folding of virtual base offsets.
This is the first fix to LLVM to address the *insane* performance Eric
Niebler discovered with Clang on his range comprehensions[1]. There is
more to come though, this doesn't *really* fix the problem fully.
