The metadata/value split introduced a major regression reading large
bitcode files that contain debug info (or other cyclic (non-self
reference) metadata graphs). For the first time in a while, I dropped
from libLTO.dylib down to `llvm-lto` with a non-trivial bitcode file
(~350MB), and I hit this when reading the result of ld64's `-save-temps`
in `llvm-lto`.
Here's pseudo-code for what was going on:
read-main-metadata-block:
for each md:
if has-fwd-ref: // Only true for cyclic graphs.
any-fwd-refs <- true
if any-fwd-refs:
foreach md:
resolve-cycles(md) // Handle cycles.
foreach function:
read-function-metadata-block: // Such as !alias, !loop
if any-fwd-refs:
foreach md: // (all metadata, not just this block)
resolve-cycles(md) // A no-op, but the loop is expensive!!
This commit resets the `AnyFwdRefs` flag to `false`. This on its own
was enough to change my Release+Asserts `llvm-lto` time for reading this
bitcode from over 20 minutes (I gave up on it) to 20 seconds. I've gone
further by tracking the min/max metadata forward-references in a
metadata block. This protects against a schema that has lots of
functions that each reference their own metadata cycle.
Unfortunately, this regression is in the 3.6 branch as well.
