The new analysis is not yet ready for prime time. It has a *critical*
flawed assumption, and some troubling shortages of testing. Until it's
been hammered into better shape, let's stick with the working code. This
should be easy to revert itself when the analysis is ready.
Fixes PR14241, a miscompile of any memcpy-able loop which uses a pointer
as the induction mechanism. If you have been seeing miscompiles in this
revision range, you really want to test with this backed out. The
results of this miscompile are a bit subtle as they can lead to
downstream passes concluding things are impossible which are in fact
possible.
Thanks to David Blaikie for the majority of the reduction of this
miscompile. I'll be checking in the test case in a non-revert commit.
Revesions reverted here:
r167045: LoopIdiom: Fix a serious missed optimization: we only turned
top-level loops into memmove.
r166877: LoopIdiom: Add checks to avoid turning memmove into an infinite
loop.
r166875: LoopIdiom: Recognize memmove loops.
r166874: LoopIdiom: Replace custom dependence analysis with
DependenceAnalysis.

This turns loops like
for (unsigned i = 0; i != n; ++i)
p[i] = p[i+1];
into memmove, which has a highly optimized implementation in most libcs.
This was really easy with the new DependenceAnalysis :)

Requires a lot less code and complexity on loop-idiom's side and the more
precise analysis can catch more cases, like the one I included as a test case.
This also fixes the edge-case miscompilation from PR9481.
Compile time performance seems to be slightly worse, but this is mostly due
to an extra LCSSA run scheduled by the PassManager and should be fixed there.
llvm-svn: 166874
It passes all tests, produces better results than the old code but uses the
wrong pass, LoopDependenceAnalysis, which is old and unmaintained. "Why is it
still in tree?", you might ask. The answer is obviously: "To confuse developers."
Just swapping in the new dependency pass sends the pass manager into an infinte
loop, I'll try to figure out why tomorrow.

This also fixes the edge-case miscompilation from PR9481. I'm not entirely
sure that all cases are handled that the old checks handled but LDA will
certainly become smarter in the future.

isn't safe for self recurrent loops. Instead of doign a hack, just
do it the right way.

constant, including globals. This makes us generate much more "pretty" pattern
globals as well because it doesn't break it down to an array of bytes all the
time.
This enables us to handle stores of relocatable globals. This kicks in about
48 times in 254.gap, giving us stuff like this:
@.memset_pattern40 = internal constant [2 x %struct.TypHeader* (%struct.TypHeader*, %struct.TypHeader*)*] [%struct.TypHeader* (%struct.TypHeader*, %struct
.TypHeader*)* @IsFalse, %struct.TypHeader* (%struct.TypHeader*, %struct.TypHeader*)* @IsFalse], align 16
...
call void @memset_pattern16(i8* %scevgep5859, i8* bitcast ([2 x %struct.TypHeader* (%struct.TypHeader*, %struct.TypHeader*)*]* @.memset_pattern40 to i8*
), i64 %tmp75) nounwind
llvm-svn: 126044
unsplatable values into memset_pattern16 when it is available
(recent darwins). This transforms lots of strided loop stores
of ints for example, like 5 in vpr:
Formed memset: call void @memset_pattern16(i8* %4, i8* getelementptr inbounds ([16 x i8]* @.memset_pattern9, i32 0, i32 0), i64 %tmp25)
from store to: {%3,+,4}<%11> at: store i32 3, i32* %scevgep, align 4, !tbaa !4

when safe.
The testcase is basically this nested loop:
void foo(char *X) {
for (int i = 0; i != 100; ++i)
for (int j = 0; j != 100; ++j)
X[j+i*100] = 0;
}
which gets turned into a single memset now. clang -O3 doesn't optimize
this yet though due to a phase ordering issue I haven't analyzed yet.

sure that the loop we're promoting into a memcpy doesn't mutate the input
of the memcpy. Before we were just checking that the dest of the memcpy
wasn't mod/ref'd by the loop.
llvm-svn: 122712
header for now for memset/memcpy opportunities. It turns out that loop-rotate
is successfully rotating loops, but *DOESN'T MERGE THE BLOCKS*, turning "for
loops" into 2 basic block loops that loop-idiom was ignoring.
With this fix, we form many *many* more memcpy and memsets than before, including
on the "history" loops in the viterbi benchmark, which look like this:
for (j=0; j<MAX_history; ++j) {
history_new[i][j+1] = history[2*i][j];
}
Transforming these loops into memcpy's speeds up the viterbi benchmark from
11.98s to 3.55s on my machine. Woo.
