See LICENSE.TXT for details. // //===----------------------------------------------------------------------===// // // This pass performs several transformations to transform natural loops into a // simpler form, which makes subsequent analyses and transformations simpler and // more effective. // // Loop pre-header insertion guarantees that there is a single, non-critical // entry edge from outside of the loop to the loop header. This simplifies a // number of analyses and transformations, such as LICM. // // Loop exit-block insertion guarantees that all exit blocks from the loop // (blocks which are outside of the loop that have predecessors inside of the // loop) only have predecessors from inside of the loop (and are thus dominated // by the loop header). This simplifies transformations such as store-sinking // that are built into LICM. // // This pass also guarantees that loops will have exactly one backedge. // // Indirectbr instructions introduce several complications. If the loop // contains or is entered by an indirectbr instruction, it may not be possible // to transform the loop and make these guarantees. Client code should check // that these conditions are true before relying on them. // // Note that the simplifycfg pass will clean up blocks which are split out but // end up being unnecessary, so usage of this pass should not pessimize // generated code. // // This pass obviously modifies the CFG, but updates loop information and // dominator information. // //===----------------------------------------------------------------------===// #ifndef LLVM_TRANSFORMS_UTILS_LOOPSIMPLIFY_H #define LLVM_TRANSFORMS_UTILS_LOOPSIMPLIFY_H #include "llvm/Analysis/AssumptionCache.h" #include "llvm/Analysis/ScalarEvolution.h" #include "llvm/IR/Dominators.h" #include "llvm/IR/PassManager.h" namespace llvm { /// This pass is responsible for loop canonicalization. class LoopSimplifyPass : public PassInfoMixin { public: PreservedAnalyses run(Function &F, FunctionAnalysisManager &AM); }; /// \brief Simplify each loop in a loop nest recursively. /// /// This takes a potentially un-simplified loop L (and its children) and turns /// it into a simplified loop nest with preheaders and single backedges.
