each basic block in function. Instead, just emit a stream of instructions,
chopping up basic blocks based on when we find terminator instructions. This
saves a fairly substantial chunk of bytecode space. In stripped, sample
cases, for example, we get this reduction in size:
197.parser: 163036 -> 137180: 18.8% reduction
254.gap : 844936 -> 689392: 22.6%
255.vortex: 621724 -> 528444: 17.7%
...
Not bad for something this simple. :) Note that this doesn't require a new
bytecode version number at all, though version 1.1 should not need to support
the old format.

* Strength reduce several data structures which were left over from the
"bad old days"
* Minor efficiency improvements
* Major efficiency improvement: In BytecodeParser::insertValue, do not allocate
a new ValueTab entry just because some value exists with a large type. This
dramatically reduces the number of allocations/deallocations performed by the
bytecode reader, and speeds up parsing of Kimwitu++ from 34s to 17s. This is
to help address PR127

For now, we translate linkonce into weak linkage in the bytecode format because
we don't have enough bits to represent it. We will rev the bytecode version
soon anyways, so this will be fixed in the near future.

are ordered by name, not by slot, so the previous solution wasn't any good.
On a large testcase, this reduces time to parse from 2.17s to 1.58s.
llvm-svn: 9002
changes:
* BytecodeReader::getType(...) used to return a null pointer
on error. This was only checked about half the time. Now we convert
it to throw an exception, and delete the half that checked for error.
This was checked in before, but psmith crashed and lost the change :(
* insertValue no longer returns -1 on error, so callers don't need to
check for it.
* Substantial rewrite of InstructionReader.cpp, to use more efficient,
simpler, data structures. This provides another 5% speedup. This also
makes the code much easier to read and understand.

new, simpler, ForwardReferences data structure. This is just the first
simple replacement, subsequent changes will improve the code more.
This simple change improves the performance of loading a file from HDF5
(contributed by Bill) from 2.36s to 1.93s, a 22% improvement. This
presumably has to do with the fact that we only create ONE placeholder for
a particular forward referenced values, and also may be because the data
structure is much simpler.

in the bytecode parser. Before we tried to shoehorn basic blocks into the
"getValue" code path with other types of values. For a variety of reasons
this was a bad idea, so this patch separates it out into its own data structure.
This simplifies the code, makes it fit in 80 columns, and is also much faster.
In a testcase provided by Bill, which has lots of PHI nodes, this patch speeds
up bytecode parsing from taking 6.9s to taking 2.32s. More speedups to
follow later.
llvm-svn: 8977
* Instead of a #define, use inline function
* Fix the name on the #define, errr... now inline function to be more logical:
it doesn't CHECK the alignment, it PERFORMS the alignment
* To get string name of a Type*, use getDescription(), not getName()
llvm-svn: 8683
- no more passing around a string pointer to set errors
- no more returning booleans and checking for errors, we use C++ exceptions
* Broke functionality into 2 new classes, one reads from file, one from a stream
* Implemented lazy function streaming - the parser can read in a function at-a-time
llvm-svn: 8671
- Fix problems where the constant table would not get updated when
resolving constants causes other constants to change.
Changes to the V2 bytecode format
- Null values are implicitly encoded instead of explicitly, this makes
things more compact!
- More compactly represent ConstantPointerRefs
- Bytecode files are represented as:
Header|GlobalTypes|GlobalVars/Function Protos|Constants|Functions|SymTab
instead of
Header|GlobalTypes|Constants|GlobalVars/Function Protos|Functions|SymTab
which makes a lot of things simpler.
Changes to the reader:
- Function loading code is much simpler. We now no longer make function
PlaceHolderHelper objects to be replaced with real functions.

reading bytecode files with > 255 types in them, but only when optimization
is enabled. This was caused by GCC shrinking an enum to a single byte
instead of a whole word.
llvm-svn: 4266
Handle forward referenced constants in a general way. This fixes bug:
Assembler/2002-10-13-ConstantEncodingProblem.llx and allows the SPEC
197.parser benchmark to be built
llvm-svn: 4161
- ParseConstantPool was resolving reference to value using the function
slot # instead of the global slot #.
- Bytecode reader changes:
- Remove the failure<> template from Bytecode Reader
- Remove extraneous #includes
- s/method/function/ a bit
- Eliminate the fwdRefs class that just added abstraction where it was not
needed, making things more complex.
- Use a vector instead of a list for function signatures.
llvm-svn: 3366
* Add minor optimization to BytecodeParser::refineAbstractType
* MethodType::get now take an explicit isVarArg parameter
* Fix encoding/decoding of VarArgs calls
* Support the Invoke instruction
llvm-svn: 760
* ConstPoolPointerReference now represents a pointer to a GlobalValue
* Methods name references are now explicit pointers to methods
* Rename Value::GlobalVal to Value::GlobalVariableVal to avoid confusion
llvm-svn: 703
* Support globally unique constants
* Support recursive and forward referenced types
* Support abstract types
* Add new BCR_TRACE macro to enable debugging of why the bytecode reader
occasionally refuses to read something
llvm-svn: 448
* Convert post to pre-increment for for loops
* Use generic programming more
* Use new Value::cast* instructions
* Use new Module, Method, & BasicBlock forwarding methods
