in SPEC, the subsequent optimziations that we are after don't play with
with FP values, so disable this xform for them. Really we just don't want
stuff like:
double G; (always 0 or 412312.312)
= G;
turning into:
bool G_b;
= G_b ? 412312.312 : 0;
We'd rather just do the load.

down to actually BE a bool. This allows simple value range propagation
stuff work harder, deleting comparisons in bzip2 in some hot loops.
This implements GlobalOpt/integer-bool.ll, which is the essence of the
loop condition distilled into a testcase.

in scary and unknown ways before we promote it. This fixes the miscompilation
of 188.ammp that has been plauging us since a globalopt patch went in.
Thanks a ton to Tanya for helping me diagnose the problem!

value. This allows us to turn more globals into constants and eliminate them.
This patch implements GlobalOpt/load-store-global.llx.
Note that this patch speeds up 255.vortex from:
Output/255.vortex.out-cbe.time:program 7.640000
Output/255.vortex.out-llc.time:program 9.810000
to:
Output/255.vortex.out-cbe.time:program 7.250000
Output/255.vortex.out-llc.time:program 9.490000
Which isn't bad at all!

First, it allows SRA of globals that have embedded arrays, implementing
GlobalOpt/globalsra-partial.llx. This comes up infrequently, but does allow,
for example, deleting several stores to dead parts of globals in dhrystone.
Second, this implements GlobalOpt/malloc-promote-*.llx, which is the
following nifty transformation:
Basically if a global pointer is initialized with malloc, and we can tell
that the program won't notice, we transform this:
struct foo *FooPtr;
...
FooPtr = malloc(sizeof(struct foo));
...
FooPtr->A FooPtr->B
Into:
struct foo FooPtrBody;
...
FooPtrBody.A FooPtrBody.B
This comes up occasionally, for example, the 'disp' global in 183.equake (where
the xform speeds the CBE version of the program up from 56.16s to 52.40s (7%)
on apoc), and the 'desired_accept', 'fixLRBT', 'macroArray', & 'key_queue'
globals in 300.twolf (speeding it up from 22.29s to 21.55s (3.4%)).
The nice thing about this xform is that it exposes the resulting global to
global variable optimization and makes alias analysis easier in addition to
eliminating a few loads.
llvm-svn: 16916
still optimize away all of the indirect calls and loads, etc from it.
This turns code like this:
if (G != 0)
G();
into
if (G != 0)
ActualCallee();
This triggers a couple of times in gcc and libstdc++.

stored to, but are stored at variable indexes. This occurs at least in
176.gcc, but probably others, and we should handle it for completeness.

has a large number of users. Instead, just keep track of whether we're
making changes as we do so.
This patch has no functionlity changes.
llvm-svn: 16874
we know that all uses of the global will trap if the pointer contained is
null. In this case, we forward substitute the stored value to any uses.
This has the effect of devirtualizing trivial globals in trivial cases. For
example, 164.gzip contains this:
gzip.h:extern int (*read_buf) OF((char *buf, unsigned size));
bits.c: read_buf = file_read;
deflate.c: lookahead = read_buf((char*)window,
deflate.c: n = read_buf((char*)window+strstart+lookahead, more);
Since read_buf has to point to file_read at every use, we just replace
the calls through read_buf with a direct call to file_read.
This occurs in several benchmarks, including 176.gcc and 164.gzip. Direct
calls are good and stuff.
llvm-svn: 16871
* Do not lead dangling dead constants prevent optimization
* Iterate global optimization while we're making progress.
These changes allow us to be more aggressive, handling cases like
GlobalOpt/iterate.llx without a problem (turning it into 'ret int 0').
llvm-svn: 16857
optimizations to trigger much more often. This allows the elimination of
several dozen more global variables in Programs/External. Note that we only
do this for non-constant globals: constant globals will already be optimized
out if the accesses to them permit it.
This implements Transforms/GlobalOpt/globalsra.llx
llvm-svn: 16842
* Instead of handling dead functions specially, just nuke them.
* Be more aggressive about cleaning up after constification, in
particular, handle getelementptr instructions and constantexprs.
* Be a little bit more structured about how we process globals.
*** Delete globals that are only stored to, and never read. These are
clearly not useful, so they should go. This implements deadglobal.llx
This last one triggers quite a few times. In particular, 2208 in the
external tests, 1865 of which are in 252.eon. This shrinks eon from
1995094 to 1732341 bytes of bytecode.
