1Target Independent Opportunities:
2
3//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
4
5With the recent changes to make the implicit def/use set explicit in
6machineinstrs, we should change the target descriptions for 'call' instructions
7so that the .td files don't list all the call-clobbered registers as implicit
8defs.  Instead, these should be added by the code generator (e.g. on the dag).
9
10This has a number of uses:
11
121. PPC32/64 and X86 32/64 can avoid having multiple copies of call instructions
13   for their different impdef sets.
142. Targets with multiple calling convs (e.g. x86) which have different clobber
15   sets don't need copies of call instructions.
163. 'Interprocedural register allocation' can be done to reduce the clobber sets
17   of calls.
18
19//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
20
21We should recognized various "overflow detection" idioms and translate them into
22llvm.uadd.with.overflow and similar intrinsics.  Here is a multiply idiom:
23
24unsigned int mul(unsigned int a,unsigned int b) {
25 if ((unsigned long long)a*b>0xffffffff)
26   exit(0);
27  return a*b;
28}
29
30The legalization code for mul-with-overflow needs to be made more robust before
31this can be implemented though.
32
33//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
34
35Get the C front-end to expand hypot(x,y) -> llvm.sqrt(x*x+y*y) when errno and
36precision don't matter (ffastmath).  Misc/mandel will like this. :)  This isn't
37safe in general, even on darwin.  See the libm implementation of hypot for
38examples (which special case when x/y are exactly zero to get signed zeros etc
39right).
40
41//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
42
43On targets with expensive 64-bit multiply, we could LSR this:
44
45for (i = ...; ++i) {
46   x = 1ULL << i;
47
48into:
49 long long tmp = 1;
50 for (i = ...; ++i, tmp+=tmp)
51   x = tmp;
52
53This would be a win on ppc32, but not x86 or ppc64.
54
55//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
56
57Shrink: (setlt (loadi32 P), 0) -> (setlt (loadi8 Phi), 0)
58
59//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
60
61Reassociate should turn things like:
62
63int factorial(int X) {
64 return X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X;
65}
66
67into llvm.powi calls, allowing the code generator to produce balanced
68multiplication trees.
69
70First, the intrinsic needs to be extended to support integers, and second the
71code generator needs to be enhanced to lower these to multiplication trees.
72
73//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
74
75Interesting? testcase for add/shift/mul reassoc:
76
77int bar(int x, int y) {
78  return x*x*x+y+x*x*x*x*x*y*y*y*y;
79}
80int foo(int z, int n) {
81  return bar(z, n) + bar(2*z, 2*n);
82}
83
84This is blocked on not handling X*X*X -> powi(X, 3) (see note above).  The issue
85is that we end up getting t = 2*X  s = t*t   and don't turn this into 4*X*X,
86which is the same number of multiplies and is canonical, because the 2*X has
87multiple uses.  Here's a simple example:
88
89define i32 @test15(i32 %X1) {
90  %B = mul i32 %X1, 47   ; X1*47
91  %C = mul i32 %B, %B
92  ret i32 %C
93}
94
95
96//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
97
98Reassociate should handle the example in GCC PR16157:
99
100extern int a0, a1, a2, a3, a4; extern int b0, b1, b2, b3, b4; 
101void f () {  /* this can be optimized to four additions... */ 
102        b4 = a4 + a3 + a2 + a1 + a0; 
103        b3 = a3 + a2 + a1 + a0; 
104        b2 = a2 + a1 + a0; 
105        b1 = a1 + a0; 
106} 
107
108This requires reassociating to forms of expressions that are already available,
109something that reassoc doesn't think about yet.
110
111
112//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
113
114This function: (derived from GCC PR19988)
115double foo(double x, double y) {
116  return ((x + 0.1234 * y) * (x + -0.1234 * y));
117}
118
119compiles to:
120_foo:
121	movapd	%xmm1, %xmm2
122	mulsd	LCPI1_1(%rip), %xmm1
123	mulsd	LCPI1_0(%rip), %xmm2
124	addsd	%xmm0, %xmm1
125	addsd	%xmm0, %xmm2
126	movapd	%xmm1, %xmm0
127	mulsd	%xmm2, %xmm0
128	ret
129
130Reassociate should be able to turn it into:
131
132double foo(double x, double y) {
133  return ((x + 0.1234 * y) * (x - 0.1234 * y));
134}
135
136Which allows the multiply by constant to be CSE'd, producing:
137
138_foo:
139	mulsd	LCPI1_0(%rip), %xmm1
140	movapd	%xmm1, %xmm2
141	addsd	%xmm0, %xmm2
142	subsd	%xmm1, %xmm0
143	mulsd	%xmm2, %xmm0
144	ret
145
146This doesn't need -ffast-math support at all.  This is particularly bad because
147the llvm-gcc frontend is canonicalizing the later into the former, but clang
148doesn't have this problem.
149
150//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
151
152These two functions should generate the same code on big-endian systems:
153
154int g(int *j,int *l)  {  return memcmp(j,l,4);  }
155int h(int *j, int *l) {  return *j - *l; }
156
157this could be done in SelectionDAGISel.cpp, along with other special cases,
158for 1,2,4,8 bytes.
159
160//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
161
162It would be nice to revert this patch:
163http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/llvm-commits/Week-of-Mon-20060213/031986.html
164
165And teach the dag combiner enough to simplify the code expanded before 
166legalize.  It seems plausible that this knowledge would let it simplify other
167stuff too.
168
169//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
170
171For vector types, TargetData.cpp::getTypeInfo() returns alignment that is equal
172to the type size. It works but can be overly conservative as the alignment of
173specific vector types are target dependent.
174
175//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
176
177We should produce an unaligned load from code like this:
178
179v4sf example(float *P) {
180  return (v4sf){P[0], P[1], P[2], P[3] };
181}
182
183//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
184
185Add support for conditional increments, and other related patterns.  Instead
186of:
187
188	movl 136(%esp), %eax
189	cmpl $0, %eax
190	je LBB16_2	#cond_next
191LBB16_1:	#cond_true
192	incl _foo
193LBB16_2:	#cond_next
194
195emit:
196	movl	_foo, %eax
197	cmpl	$1, %edi
198	sbbl	$-1, %eax
199	movl	%eax, _foo
200
201//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
202
203Combine: a = sin(x), b = cos(x) into a,b = sincos(x).
204
205Expand these to calls of sin/cos and stores:
206      double sincos(double x, double *sin, double *cos);
207      float sincosf(float x, float *sin, float *cos);
208      long double sincosl(long double x, long double *sin, long double *cos);
209
210Doing so could allow SROA of the destination pointers.  See also:
211http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17687
212
213This is now easily doable with MRVs.  We could even make an intrinsic for this
214if anyone cared enough about sincos.
215
216//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
217
218quantum_sigma_x in 462.libquantum contains the following loop:
219
220      for(i=0; i<reg->size; i++)
221	{
222	  /* Flip the target bit of each basis state */
223	  reg->node[i].state ^= ((MAX_UNSIGNED) 1 << target);
224	} 
225
226Where MAX_UNSIGNED/state is a 64-bit int.  On a 32-bit platform it would be just
227so cool to turn it into something like:
228
229   long long Res = ((MAX_UNSIGNED) 1 << target);
230   if (target < 32) {
231     for(i=0; i<reg->size; i++)
232       reg->node[i].state ^= Res & 0xFFFFFFFFULL;
233   } else {
234     for(i=0; i<reg->size; i++)
235       reg->node[i].state ^= Res & 0xFFFFFFFF00000000ULL
236   }
237   
238... which would only do one 32-bit XOR per loop iteration instead of two.
239
240It would also be nice to recognize the reg->size doesn't alias reg->node[i], but
241this requires TBAA.
242
243//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
244
245This isn't recognized as bswap by instcombine (yes, it really is bswap):
246
247unsigned long reverse(unsigned v) {
248    unsigned t;
249    t = v ^ ((v << 16) | (v >> 16));
250    t &= ~0xff0000;
251    v = (v << 24) | (v >> 8);
252    return v ^ (t >> 8);
253}
254
255//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
256
257[LOOP DELETION]
258
259We don't delete this output free loop, because trip count analysis doesn't
260realize that it is finite (if it were infinite, it would be undefined).  Not
261having this blocks Loop Idiom from matching strlen and friends.  
262
263void foo(char *C) {
264  int x = 0;
265  while (*C)
266    ++x,++C;
267}
268
269//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
270
271[LOOP RECOGNITION]
272
273These idioms should be recognized as popcount (see PR1488):
274
275unsigned countbits_slow(unsigned v) {
276  unsigned c;
277  for (c = 0; v; v >>= 1)
278    c += v & 1;
279  return c;
280}
281unsigned countbits_fast(unsigned v){
282  unsigned c;
283  for (c = 0; v; c++)
284    v &= v - 1; // clear the least significant bit set
285  return c;
286}
287
288BITBOARD = unsigned long long
289int PopCnt(register BITBOARD a) {
290  register int c=0;
291  while(a) {
292    c++;
293    a &= a - 1;
294  }
295  return c;
296}
297unsigned int popcount(unsigned int input) {
298  unsigned int count = 0;
299  for (unsigned int i =  0; i < 4 * 8; i++)
300    count += (input >> i) & i;
301  return count;
302}
303
304This should be recognized as CLZ:  rdar://8459039
305
306unsigned clz_a(unsigned a) {
307  int i;
308  for (i=0;i<32;i++)
309    if (a & (1<<(31-i)))
310      return i;
311  return 32;
312}
313
314This sort of thing should be added to the loop idiom pass.
315
316//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
317
318These should turn into single 16-bit (unaligned?) loads on little/big endian
319processors.
320
321unsigned short read_16_le(const unsigned char *adr) {
322  return adr[0] | (adr[1] << 8);
323}
324unsigned short read_16_be(const unsigned char *adr) {
325  return (adr[0] << 8) | adr[1];
326}
327
328//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
329
330-instcombine should handle this transform:
331   icmp pred (sdiv X / C1 ), C2
332when X, C1, and C2 are unsigned.  Similarly for udiv and signed operands. 
333
334Currently InstCombine avoids this transform but will do it when the signs of
335the operands and the sign of the divide match. See the FIXME in 
336InstructionCombining.cpp in the visitSetCondInst method after the switch case 
337for Instruction::UDiv (around line 4447) for more details.
338
339The SingleSource/Benchmarks/Shootout-C++/hash and hash2 tests have examples of
340this construct. 
341
342//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
343
344[LOOP OPTIMIZATION]
345
346SingleSource/Benchmarks/Misc/dt.c shows several interesting optimization
347opportunities in its double_array_divs_variable function: it needs loop
348interchange, memory promotion (which LICM already does), vectorization and
349variable trip count loop unrolling (since it has a constant trip count). ICC
350apparently produces this very nice code with -ffast-math:
351
352..B1.70:                        # Preds ..B1.70 ..B1.69
353       mulpd     %xmm0, %xmm1                                  #108.2
354       mulpd     %xmm0, %xmm1                                  #108.2
355       mulpd     %xmm0, %xmm1                                  #108.2
356       mulpd     %xmm0, %xmm1                                  #108.2
357       addl      $8, %edx                                      #
358       cmpl      $131072, %edx                                 #108.2
359       jb        ..B1.70       # Prob 99%                      #108.2
360
361It would be better to count down to zero, but this is a lot better than what we
362do.
363
364//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
365
366Consider:
367
368typedef unsigned U32;
369typedef unsigned long long U64;
370int test (U32 *inst, U64 *regs) {
371    U64 effective_addr2;
372    U32 temp = *inst;
373    int r1 = (temp >> 20) & 0xf;
374    int b2 = (temp >> 16) & 0xf;
375    effective_addr2 = temp & 0xfff;
376    if (b2) effective_addr2 += regs[b2];
377    b2 = (temp >> 12) & 0xf;
378    if (b2) effective_addr2 += regs[b2];
379    effective_addr2 &= regs[4];
380     if ((effective_addr2 & 3) == 0)
381        return 1;
382    return 0;
383}
384
385Note that only the low 2 bits of effective_addr2 are used.  On 32-bit systems,
386we don't eliminate the computation of the top half of effective_addr2 because
387we don't have whole-function selection dags.  On x86, this means we use one
388extra register for the function when effective_addr2 is declared as U64 than
389when it is declared U32.
390
391PHI Slicing could be extended to do this.
392
393//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
394
395Tail call elim should be more aggressive, checking to see if the call is
396followed by an uncond branch to an exit block.
397
398; This testcase is due to tail-duplication not wanting to copy the return
399; instruction into the terminating blocks because there was other code
400; optimized out of the function after the taildup happened.
401; RUN: llvm-as < %s | opt -tailcallelim | llvm-dis | not grep call
402
403define i32 @t4(i32 %a) {
404entry:

426	ret i32 %result.0

428
429//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
430
431Tail recursion elimination should handle:
432
433int pow2m1(int n) {
434 if (n == 0)
435   return 0;
436 return 2 * pow2m1 (n - 1) + 1;
437}
438
439Also, multiplies can be turned into SHL's, so they should be handled as if
440they were associative.  "return foo() << 1" can be tail recursion eliminated.
441
442//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
443
444Argument promotion should promote arguments for recursive functions, like 
445this:
446
447; RUN: llvm-as < %s | opt -argpromotion | llvm-dis | grep x.val
448
449define internal i32 @foo(i32* %x) {
450entry:
451	%tmp = load i32* %x		; <i32> [#uses=0]
452	%tmp.foo = call i32 @foo( i32* %x )		; <i32> [#uses=1]
453	ret i32 %tmp.foo
454}
455
456define i32 @bar(i32* %x) {
457entry:
458	%tmp3 = call i32 @foo( i32* %x )		; <i32> [#uses=1]
459	ret i32 %tmp3
460}
461
462//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
463
464We should investigate an instruction sinking pass.  Consider this silly
465example in pic mode:
466
467#include <assert.h>
468void foo(int x) {
469  assert(x);
470  //...
471}
472
473we compile this to:

488The PIC base computation (call+popl) is only used on one path through the 
489code, but is currently always computed in the entry block.  It would be 
490better to sink the picbase computation down into the block for the 
491assertion, as it is the only one that uses it.  This happens for a lot of 
492code with early outs.
493
494Another example is loads of arguments, which are usually emitted into the 
495entry block on targets like x86.  If not used in all paths through a 
496function, they should be sunk into the ones that do.
497
498In this case, whole-function-isel would also handle this.

507We should turn things like "load+fabs+store" and "load+fneg+store" into the
508corresponding integer operations.  On a yonah, this loop:
509
510double a[256];
511void foo() {
512  int i, b;
513  for (b = 0; b < 10000000; b++)
514  for (i = 0; i < 256; i++)
515    a[i] = -a[i];
516}
517
518is twice as slow as this loop:
519
520long long a[256];
521void foo() {
522  int i, b;
523  for (b = 0; b < 10000000; b++)
524  for (i = 0; i < 256; i++)
525    a[i] ^= (1ULL << 63);
526}
527
528and I suspect other processors are similar.  On X86 in particular this is a
529big win because doing this with integers allows the use of read/modify/write
530instructions.

534DAG Combiner should try to combine small loads into larger loads when 
535profitable.  For example, we compile this C++ example:
536
537struct THotKey { short Key; bool Control; bool Shift; bool Alt; };
538extern THotKey m_HotKey;
539THotKey GetHotKey () { return m_HotKey; }
540

564Consider:
565
566int test() {
567  long long input[8] = {1,0,1,0,1,0,1,0};
568  foo(input);
569}
570
571Clang compiles this into:
572
573  call void @llvm.memset.p0i8.i64(i8* %tmp, i8 0, i64 64, i32 16, i1 false)
574  %0 = getelementptr [8 x i64]* %input, i64 0, i64 0
575  store i64 1, i64* %0, align 16
576  %1 = getelementptr [8 x i64]* %input, i64 0, i64 2
577  store i64 1, i64* %1, align 16
578  %2 = getelementptr [8 x i64]* %input, i64 0, i64 4
579  store i64 1, i64* %2, align 16
580  %3 = getelementptr [8 x i64]* %input, i64 0, i64 6
581  store i64 1, i64* %3, align 16
582
583Which gets codegen'd into:
584
585	pxor	%xmm0, %xmm0
586	movaps	%xmm0, -16(%rbp)
587	movaps	%xmm0, -32(%rbp)

591	movq	$1, -48(%rbp)
592	movq	$1, -32(%rbp)

595It would be better to have 4 movq's of 0 instead of the movaps's.

601The following code should compile into "ret int undef". Instead, LLVM
602produces "ret int 0":
603
604int f() {
605  int x = 4;
606  int y;
607  if (x == 3) y = 0;
608  return y;
609}
610
611//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
612
613The loop unroller should partially unroll loops (instead of peeling them)
614when code growth isn't too bad and when an unroll count allows simplification
615of some code within the loop.  One trivial example is:
616
617#include <stdio.h>
618int main() {
619    int nRet = 17;
620    int nLoop;
621    for ( nLoop = 0; nLoop < 1000; nLoop++ ) {
622        if ( nLoop & 1 )
623            nRet += 2;
624        else
625            nRet -= 1;
626    }
627    return nRet;
628}
629
630Unrolling by 2 would eliminate the '&1' in both copies, leading to a net
631reduction in code size.  The resultant code would then also be suitable for
632exit value computation.
633
634//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
635
636We miss a bunch of rotate opportunities on various targets, including ppc, x86,
637etc.  On X86, we miss a bunch of 'rotate by variable' cases because the rotate
638matching code in dag combine doesn't look through truncates aggressively 
639enough.  Here are some testcases reduces from GCC PR17886:
640
641unsigned long long f5(unsigned long long x, unsigned long long y) {
642  return (x << 8) | ((y >> 48) & 0xffull);
643}
644unsigned long long f6(unsigned long long x, unsigned long long y, int z) {
645  switch(z) {
646  case 1:
647    return (x << 8) | ((y >> 48) & 0xffull);
648  case 2:
649    return (x << 16) | ((y >> 40) & 0xffffull);
650  case 3:
651    return (x << 24) | ((y >> 32) & 0xffffffull);
652  case 4:
653    return (x << 32) | ((y >> 24) & 0xffffffffull);
654  default:
655    return (x << 40) | ((y >> 16) & 0xffffffffffull);
656  }
657}
658
659//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
660
661This (and similar related idioms):
662
663unsigned int foo(unsigned char i) {
664  return i | (i<<8) | (i<<16) | (i<<24);
665} 
666
667compiles into:
668
669define i32 @foo(i8 zeroext %i) nounwind readnone ssp noredzone {
670entry:
671  %conv = zext i8 %i to i32
672  %shl = shl i32 %conv, 8
673  %shl5 = shl i32 %conv, 16
674  %shl9 = shl i32 %conv, 24
675  %or = or i32 %shl9, %conv
676  %or6 = or i32 %or, %shl5
677  %or10 = or i32 %or6, %shl
678  ret i32 %or10
679}
680
681it would be better as:
682
683unsigned int bar(unsigned char i) {
684  unsigned int j=i | (i << 8); 
685  return j | (j<<16);
686}
687
688aka:
689
690define i32 @bar(i8 zeroext %i) nounwind readnone ssp noredzone {
691entry:
692  %conv = zext i8 %i to i32
693  %shl = shl i32 %conv, 8
694  %or = or i32 %shl, %conv
695  %shl5 = shl i32 %or, 16
696  %or6 = or i32 %shl5, %or
697  ret i32 %or6
698}
699
700or even i*0x01010101, depending on the speed of the multiplier.  The best way to
701handle this is to canonicalize it to a multiply in IR and have codegen handle
702lowering multiplies to shifts on cpus where shifts are faster.
703
704//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
705
706We do a number of simplifications in simplify libcalls to strength reduce
707standard library functions, but we don't currently merge them together.  For
708example, it is useful to merge memcpy(a,b,strlen(b)) -> strcpy.  This can only
709be done safely if "b" isn't modified between the strlen and memcpy of course.
710
711//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
712
713We compile this program: (from GCC PR11680)
714http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=4487
715
716Into code that runs the same speed in fast/slow modes, but both modes run 2x
717slower than when compile with GCC (either 4.0 or 4.2):
718
719$ llvm-g++ perf.cpp -O3 -fno-exceptions
720$ time ./a.out fast
7211.821u 0.003s 0:01.82 100.0%	0+0k 0+0io 0pf+0w

724$ time ./a.out fast

726
727It looks like we are making the same inlining decisions, so this may be raw
728codegen badness or something else (haven't investigated).

732Divisibility by constant can be simplified (according to GCC PR12849) from
733being a mulhi to being a mul lo (cheaper).  Testcase:
734
735void bar(unsigned n) {
736  if (n % 3 == 0)
737    true();
738}
739
740This is equivalent to the following, where 2863311531 is the multiplicative
741inverse of 3, and 1431655766 is ((2^32)-1)/3+1:
742void bar(unsigned n) {
743  if (n * 2863311531U < 1431655766U)
744    true();
745}
746
747The same transformation can work with an even modulo with the addition of a
748rotate: rotate the result of the multiply to the right by the number of bits
749which need to be zero for the condition to be true, and shrink the compare RHS
750by the same amount.  Unless the target supports rotates, though, that
751transformation probably isn't worthwhile.
752
753The transformation can also easily be made to work with non-zero equality
754comparisons: just transform, for example, "n % 3 == 1" to "(n-1) % 3 == 0".

989void f (int n, int *cond, int *res) {
990    int i;
991    *res = 0;
992    for (i = 0; i < n; i++)
993        if (*cond)
994            *res ^= 234; /* (*) */
995}
996
997On this function GVN hoists the fully redundant value of *res, but nothing
998moves the store out.  This gives us this code:
999
1000bb:		; preds = %bb2, %entry
1001	%.rle = phi i32 [ 0, %entry ], [ %.rle6, %bb2 ]	
1002	%i.05 = phi i32 [ 0, %entry ], [ %indvar.next, %bb2 ]
1003	%1 = load i32* %cond, align 4
1004	%2 = icmp eq i32 %1, 0
1005	br i1 %2, label %bb2, label %bb1
1006
1007bb1:		; preds = %bb
1008	%3 = xor i32 %.rle, 234	
1009	store i32 %3, i32* %res, align 4
1010	br label %bb2
1011
1012bb2:		; preds = %bb, %bb1
1013	%.rle6 = phi i32 [ %3, %bb1 ], [ %.rle, %bb ]	
1014	%indvar.next = add i32 %i.05, 1	
1015	%exitcond = icmp eq i32 %indvar.next, %n
1016	br i1 %exitcond, label %return, label %bb
1017
1018DSE should sink partially dead stores to get the store out of the loop.
1019
1020Here's another partial dead case:
1021http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=12395
1022
1023//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
1024
1025Scalar PRE hoists the mul in the common block up to the else:
1026
1027int test (int a, int b, int c, int g) {
1028  int d, e;
1029  if (a)
1030    d = b * c;
1031  else
1032    d = b - c;
1033  e = b * c + g;
1034  return d + e;
1035}
1036
1037It would be better to do the mul once to reduce codesize above the if.
1038This is GCC PR38204.
1039
1040
1041//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
1042This simple function from 179.art:
1043
1044int winner, numf2s;
1045struct { double y; int   reset; } *Y;
1046
1047void find_match() {
1048   int i;
1049   winner = 0;
1050   for (i=0;i<numf2s;i++)
1051       if (Y[i].y > Y[winner].y)
1052              winner =i;
1053}
1054
1055Compiles into (with clang TBAA):
1056
1057for.body:                                         ; preds = %for.inc, %bb.nph
1058  %indvar = phi i64 [ 0, %bb.nph ], [ %indvar.next, %for.inc ]

1064  %tmp11 = load double* %tmp10, align 8, !tbaa !4
1065  %cmp12 = fcmp ogt double %tmp5, %tmp11

1069  %i.017 = trunc i64 %indvar to i32
1070  br label %for.inc
1071
1072for.inc:                                          ; preds = %for.body, %if.then

1074  %indvar.next = add i64 %indvar, 1
1075  %exitcond = icmp eq i64 %indvar.next, %tmp22
1076  br i1 %exitcond, label %for.cond.for.end_crit_edge, label %for.body
1077
1078
1079It is good that we hoisted the reloads of numf2's, and Y out of the loop and
1080sunk the store to winner out.
1081
1082However, this is awful on several levels: the conditional truncate in the loop
1083(-indvars at fault? why can't we completely promote the IV to i64?).
1084
1085Beyond that, we have a partially redundant load in the loop: if "winner" (aka 
1086%i.01718) isn't updated, we reload Y[winner].y the next time through the loop.
1087Similarly, the addressing that feeds it (including the sext) is redundant. In
1088the end we get this generated assembly:
1089
1090LBB0_2:                                 ## %for.body
1091                                        ## =>This Inner Loop Header: Depth=1
1092	movsd	(%rdi), %xmm0
1093	movslq	%edx, %r8
1094	shlq	$4, %r8
1095	ucomisd	(%rcx,%r8), %xmm0
1096	jbe	LBB0_4
1097	movl	%esi, %edx
1098LBB0_4:                                 ## %for.inc
1099	addq	$16, %rdi
1100	incq	%rsi
1101	cmpq	%rsi, %rax
1102	jne	LBB0_2
1103
1104All things considered this isn't too bad, but we shouldn't need the movslq or
1105the shlq instruction, or the load folded into ucomisd every time through the
1106loop.
1107
1108On an x86-specific topic, if the loop can't be restructure, the movl should be a
1109cmov.

1112
1113[STORE SINKING]
1114
1115GCC PR37810 is an interesting case where we should sink load/store reload
1116into the if block and outside the loop, so we don't reload/store it on the
1117non-call path.
1118
1119for () {
1120  *P += 1;
1121  if ()
1122    call();
1123  else
1124    ...
1125->
1126tmp = *P
1127for () {
1128  tmp += 1;
1129  if () {
1130    *P = tmp;
1131    call();
1132    tmp = *P;
1133  } else ...
1134}
1135*P = tmp;
1136
1137We now hoist the reload after the call (Transforms/GVN/lpre-call-wrap.ll), but
1138we don't sink the store.  We need partially dead store sinking.
1139

1142[LOAD PRE CRIT EDGE SPLITTING]
1143
1144GCC PR37166: Sinking of loads prevents SROA'ing the "g" struct on the stack
1145leading to excess stack traffic. This could be handled by GVN with some crazy
1146symbolic phi translation.  The code we get looks like (g is on the stack):
1147
1148bb2:		; preds = %bb1
1149..
1150	%9 = getelementptr %struct.f* %g, i32 0, i32 0		
1151	store i32 %8, i32* %9, align  bel %bb3
1152
1153bb3:		; preds = %bb1, %bb2, %bb
1154	%c_addr.0 = phi %struct.f* [ %g, %bb2 ], [ %c, %bb ], [ %c, %bb1 ]
1155	%b_addr.0 = phi %struct.f* [ %b, %bb2 ], [ %g, %bb ], [ %b, %bb1 ]
1156	%10 = getelementptr %struct.f* %c_addr.0, i32 0, i32 0
1157	%11 = load i32* %10, align 4
1158
1159%11 is partially redundant, an in BB2 it should have the value %8.
1160
1161GCC PR33344 and PR35287 are similar cases.

1166[LOAD PRE]
1167
1168There are many load PRE testcases in testsuite/gcc.dg/tree-ssa/loadpre* in the
1169GCC testsuite, ones we don't get yet are (checked through loadpre25):
1170
1171[CRIT EDGE BREAKING]
1172loadpre3.c predcom-4.c
1173
1174[PRE OF READONLY CALL]
1175loadpre5.c
1176
1177[TURN SELECT INTO BRANCH]
1178loadpre14.c loadpre15.c 
1179
1180actually a conditional increment: loadpre18.c loadpre19.c
1181
1182//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
1183
1184[LOAD PRE / STORE SINKING / SPEC HACK]
1185
1186This is a chunk of code from 456.hmmer:
1187
1188int f(int M, int *mc, int *mpp, int *tpmm, int *ip, int *tpim, int *dpp,
1189     int *tpdm, int xmb, int *bp, int *ms) {
1190 int k, sc;
1191 for (k = 1; k <= M; k++) {
1192     mc[k] = mpp[k-1]   + tpmm[k-1];
1193     if ((sc = ip[k-1]  + tpim[k-1]) > mc[k])  mc[k] = sc;
1194     if ((sc = dpp[k-1] + tpdm[k-1]) > mc[k])  mc[k] = sc;
1195     if ((sc = xmb  + bp[k])         > mc[k])  mc[k] = sc;
1196     mc[k] += ms[k];
1197   }
1198}
1199
1200It is very profitable for this benchmark to turn the conditional stores to mc[k]
1201into a conditional move (select instr in IR) and allow the final store to do the
1202store.  See GCC PR27313 for more details.  Note that this is valid to xform even
1203with the new C++ memory model, since mc[k] is previously loaded and later
1204stored.
1205
1206//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
1207
1208[SCALAR PRE]
1209There are many PRE testcases in testsuite/gcc.dg/tree-ssa/ssa-pre-*.c in the
1210GCC testsuite.
1211
1212//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
1213
1214There are some interesting cases in testsuite/gcc.dg/tree-ssa/pred-comm* in the
1215GCC testsuite.  For example, we get the first example in predcom-1.c, but 
1216miss the second one:
1217
1218unsigned fib[1000];
1219unsigned avg[1000];
1220
1221__attribute__ ((noinline))
1222void count_averages(int n) {
1223  int i;
1224  for (i = 1; i < n; i++)
1225    avg[i] = (((unsigned long) fib[i - 1] + fib[i] + fib[i + 1]) / 3) & 0xffff;
1226}
1227
1228which compiles into two loads instead of one in the loop.
1229
1230predcom-2.c is the same as predcom-1.c
1231
1232predcom-3.c is very similar but needs loads feeding each other instead of
1233store->load.

1238[ALIAS ANALYSIS]
1239
1240Type based alias analysis:
1241http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14705
1242
1243We should do better analysis of posix_memalign.  At the least it should
1244no-capture its pointer argument, at best, we should know that the out-value
1245result doesn't point to anything (like malloc).  One example of this is in
1246SingleSource/Benchmarks/Misc/dt.c
1247
1248//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
1249
1250Interesting missed case because of control flow flattening (should be 2 loads):
1251http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=26629
1252With: llvm-gcc t2.c -S -o - -O0 -emit-llvm | llvm-as | 
1253             opt -mem2reg -gvn -instcombine | llvm-dis
1254we miss it because we need 1) CRIT EDGE 2) MULTIPLE DIFFERENT
1255VALS PRODUCED BY ONE BLOCK OVER DIFFERENT PATHS
1256
1257//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
1258
1259http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19633
1260We could eliminate the branch condition here, loading from null is undefined:
1261
1262struct S { int w, x, y, z; };
1263struct T { int r; struct S s; };
1264void bar (struct S, int);
1265void foo (int a, struct T b)
1266{
1267  struct S *c = 0;
1268  if (a)
1269    c = &b.s;
1270  bar (*c, a);
1271}
1272
1273//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
1274
1275simplifylibcalls should do several optimizations for strspn/strcspn:
1276
1277strcspn(x, "a") -> inlined loop for up to 3 letters (similarly for strspn):
1278
1279size_t __strcspn_c3 (__const char *__s, int __reject1, int __reject2,
1280                     int __reject3) {
1281  register size_t __result = 0;
1282  while (__s[__result] != '\0' && __s[__result] != __reject1 &&
1283         __s[__result] != __reject2 && __s[__result] != __reject3)
1284    ++__result;
1285  return __result;
1286}
1287
1288This should turn into a switch on the character.  See PR3253 for some notes on
1289codegen.
1290
1291456.hmmer apparently uses strcspn and strspn a lot.  471.omnetpp uses strspn.
1292
1293//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
1294
1295simplifylibcalls should turn these snprintf idioms into memcpy (GCC PR47917)
1296
1297char buf1[6], buf2[6], buf3[4], buf4[4];
1298int i;
1299
1300int foo (void) {
1301  int ret = snprintf (buf1, sizeof buf1, "abcde");
1302  ret += snprintf (buf2, sizeof buf2, "abcdef") * 16;
1303  ret += snprintf (buf3, sizeof buf3, "%s", i++ < 6 ? "abc" : "def") * 256;
1304  ret += snprintf (buf4, sizeof buf4, "%s", i++ > 10 ? "abcde" : "defgh")*4096;
1305  return ret;
1306}
1307
1308//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
1309
1310"gas" uses this idiom:
1311  else if (strchr ("+-/*%|&^:[]()~", *intel_parser.op_string))
1312..
1313  else if (strchr ("<>", *intel_parser.op_string)
1314
1315Those should be turned into a switch.
1316
1317//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
1318
1319252.eon contains this interesting code:
1320
1321        %3072 = getelementptr [100 x i8]* %tempString, i32 0, i32 0
1322        %3073 = call i8* @strcpy(i8* %3072, i8* %3071) nounwind
1323        %strlen = call i32 @strlen(i8* %3072)    ; uses = 1
1324        %endptr = getelementptr [100 x i8]* %tempString, i32 0, i32 %strlen
1325        call void @llvm.memcpy.i32(i8* %endptr, 
1326          i8* getelementptr ([5 x i8]* @"\01LC42", i32 0, i32 0), i32 5, i32 1)
1327        %3074 = call i32 @strlen(i8* %endptr) nounwind readonly 
1328        
1329This is interesting for a couple reasons.  First, in this:
1330
1331The memcpy+strlen strlen can be replaced with:
1332
1333        %3074 = call i32 @strlen([5 x i8]* @"\01LC42") nounwind readonly 
1334
1335Because the destination was just copied into the specified memory buffer.  This,
1336in turn, can be constant folded to "4".
1337
1338In other code, it contains:
1339
1340        %endptr6978 = bitcast i8* %endptr69 to i32*            
1341        store i32 7107374, i32* %endptr6978, align 1
1342        %3167 = call i32 @strlen(i8* %endptr69) nounwind readonly    
1343
1344Which could also be constant folded.  Whatever is producing this should probably
1345be fixed to leave this as a memcpy from a string.
1346
1347Further, eon also has an interesting partially redundant strlen call:
1348
1349bb8:            ; preds = %_ZN18eonImageCalculatorC1Ev.exit
1350        %682 = getelementptr i8** %argv, i32 6          ; <i8**> [#uses=2]
1351        %683 = load i8** %682, align 4          ; <i8*> [#uses=4]
1352        %684 = load i8* %683, align 1           ; <i8> [#uses=1]
1353        %685 = icmp eq i8 %684, 0               ; <i1> [#uses=1]
1354        br i1 %685, label %bb10, label %bb9
1355
1356bb9:            ; preds = %bb8
1357        %686 = call i32 @strlen(i8* %683) nounwind readonly          
1358        %687 = icmp ugt i32 %686, 254           ; <i1> [#uses=1]
1359        br i1 %687, label %bb10, label %bb11
1360
1361bb10:           ; preds = %bb9, %bb8
1362        %688 = call i32 @strlen(i8* %683) nounwind readonly          
1363
1364This could be eliminated by doing the strlen once in bb8, saving code size and
1365improving perf on the bb8->9->10 path.
1366
1367//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
1368
1369I see an interesting fully redundant call to strlen left in 186.crafty:InputMove
1370which looks like:
1371       %movetext11 = getelementptr [128 x i8]* %movetext, i32 0, i32 0 
1372 
1373
1374bb62:           ; preds = %bb55, %bb53
1375        %promote.0 = phi i32 [ %169, %bb55 ], [ 0, %bb53 ]             
1376        %171 = call i32 @strlen(i8* %movetext11) nounwind readonly align 1
1377        %172 = add i32 %171, -1         ; <i32> [#uses=1]
1378        %173 = getelementptr [128 x i8]* %movetext, i32 0, i32 %172       
1379
1380...  no stores ...
1381       br i1 %or.cond, label %bb65, label %bb72
1382
1383bb65:           ; preds = %bb62
1384        store i8 0, i8* %173, align 1
1385        br label %bb72
1386
1387bb72:           ; preds = %bb65, %bb62
1388        %trank.1 = phi i32 [ %176, %bb65 ], [ -1, %bb62 ]            
1389        %177 = call i32 @strlen(i8* %movetext11) nounwind readonly align 1
1390
1391Note that on the bb62->bb72 path, that the %177 strlen call is partially
1392redundant with the %171 call.  At worst, we could shove the %177 strlen call
1393up into the bb65 block moving it out of the bb62->bb72 path.   However, note
1394that bb65 stores to the string, zeroing out the last byte.  This means that on
1395that path the value of %177 is actually just %171-1.  A sub is cheaper than a
1396strlen!
1397
1398This pattern repeats several times, basically doing:
1399

1407186.crafty has this interesting pattern with the "out.4543" variable:
1408
1409call void @llvm.memcpy.i32(
1410        i8* getelementptr ([10 x i8]* @out.4543, i32 0, i32 0),
1411       i8* getelementptr ([7 x i8]* @"\01LC28700", i32 0, i32 0), i32 7, i32 1) 
1412%101 = call@printf(i8* ...   @out.4543, i32 0, i32 0)) nounwind 
1413
1414It is basically doing:
1415
1416  memcpy(globalarray, "string");
1417  printf(...,  globalarray);
1418  
1419Anyway, by knowing that printf just reads the memory and forward substituting
1420the string directly into the printf, this eliminates reads from globalarray.
1421Since this pattern occurs frequently in crafty (due to the "DisplayTime" and
1422other similar functions) there are many stores to "out".  Once all the printfs
1423stop using "out", all that is left is the memcpy's into it.  This should allow
1424globalopt to remove the "stored only" global.

1428This code:
1429

1431  %tmp0 = load i8* %p
1432  %tmp1 = ashr i8 %tmp0, 5
1433  %tmp2 = sext i8 %tmp1 to i32
1434  ret i32 %tmp2
1435}
1436
1437could be dagcombine'd to a sign-extending load with a shift.
1438For example, on x86 this currently gets this:
1439
1440	movb	(%eax), %al
1441	sarb	$5, %al
1442	movsbl	%al, %eax
1443
1444while it could get this:
1445
1446	movsbl	(%eax), %eax
1447	sarl	$5, %eax

1481int func(int a, int b) { if (a & 0x80) b |= 0x80; else b &= ~0x80; return b; }
1482
1483Generates this:
1484
1485define i32 @func(i32 %a, i32 %b) nounwind readnone ssp {
1486entry:
1487  %0 = and i32 %a, 128                            ; <i32> [#uses=1]
1488  %1 = icmp eq i32 %0, 0                          ; <i1> [#uses=1]
1489  %2 = or i32 %b, 128                             ; <i32> [#uses=1]
1490  %3 = and i32 %b, -129                           ; <i32> [#uses=1]
1491  %b_addr.0 = select i1 %1, i32 %3, i32 %2        ; <i32> [#uses=1]
1492  ret i32 %b_addr.0
1493}
1494
1495However, it's functionally equivalent to:
1496
1497         b = (b & ~0x80) | (a & 0x80);
1498
1499Which generates this:
1500
1501define i32 @func(i32 %a, i32 %b) nounwind readnone ssp {
1502entry:
1503  %0 = and i32 %b, -129                           ; <i32> [#uses=1]
1504  %1 = and i32 %a, 128                            ; <i32> [#uses=1]
1505  %2 = or i32 %0, %1                              ; <i32> [#uses=1]
1506  ret i32 %2
1507}
1508
1509This can be generalized for other forms:
1510
1511     b = (b & ~0x80) | (a & 0x40) << 1;
1512
1513//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

1515These two functions produce different code. They shouldn't:

1527  return (b);
1528}

1550IPSCCP does not currently propagate argument dependent constants through
1551functions where it does not not all of the callers.  This includes functions
1552with normal external linkage as well as templates, C99 inline functions etc.
1553Specifically, it does nothing to:
1554
1555define i32 @test(i32 %x, i32 %y, i32 %z) nounwind {
1556entry:
1557  %0 = add nsw i32 %y, %z                         
1558  %1 = mul i32 %0, %x                             
1559  %2 = mul i32 %y, %z                             
1560  %3 = add nsw i32 %1, %2                         
1561  ret i32 %3
1562}
1563
1564define i32 @test2() nounwind {
1565entry:
1566  %0 = call i32 @test(i32 1, i32 2, i32 4) nounwind
1567  ret i32 %0
1568}
1569
1570It would be interesting extend IPSCCP to be able to handle simple cases like
1571this, where all of the arguments to a call are constant.  Because IPSCCP runs
1572before inlining, trivial templates and inline functions are not yet inlined.
1573The results for a function + set of constant arguments should be memoized in a
1574map.
1575
1576//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
1577
1578The libcall constant folding stuff should be moved out of SimplifyLibcalls into
1579libanalysis' constantfolding logic.  This would allow IPSCCP to be able to
1580handle simple things like this:
1581
1582static int foo(const char *X) { return strlen(X); }
1583int bar() { return foo("abcd"); }
1584
1585//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
1586
1587functionattrs doesn't know much about memcpy/memset.  This function should be
1588marked readnone rather than readonly, since it only twiddles local memory, but
1589functionattrs doesn't handle memset/memcpy/memmove aggressively:
1590
1591struct X { int *p; int *q; };
1592int foo() {
1593 int i = 0, j = 1;
1594 struct X x, y;
1595 int **p;
1596 y.p = &i;
1597 x.q = &j;
1598 p = __builtin_memcpy (&x, &y, sizeof (int *));
1599 return **p;
1600}
1601
1602This can be seen at:
1603$ clang t.c -S -o - -mkernel -O0 -emit-llvm | opt -functionattrs -S
1604

1608Missed instcombine transformation:
1609define i1 @a(i32 %x) nounwind readnone {
1610entry:
1611  %cmp = icmp eq i32 %x, 30
1612  %sub = add i32 %x, -30
1613  %cmp2 = icmp ugt i32 %sub, 9
1614  %or = or i1 %cmp, %cmp2
1615  ret i1 %or
1616}
1617This should be optimized to a single compare.  Testcase derived from gcc.
1618
1619//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
1620
1621Missed instcombine or reassociate transformation:
1622int a(int a, int b) { return (a==12)&(b>47)&(b<58); }
1623
1624The sgt and slt should be combined into a single comparison. Testcase derived
1625from gcc.
1626
1627//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
1628
1629Missed instcombine transformation:
1630
1631  %382 = srem i32 %tmp14.i, 64                    ; [#uses=1]
1632  %383 = zext i32 %382 to i64                     ; [#uses=1]
1633  %384 = shl i64 %381, %383                       ; [#uses=1]
1634  %385 = icmp slt i32 %tmp14.i, 64                ; [#uses=1]
1635
1636The srem can be transformed to an and because if %tmp14.i is negative, the
1637shift is undefined.  Testcase derived from 403.gcc.
1638
1639//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
1640
1641This is a range comparison on a divided result (from 403.gcc):
1642
1643  %1337 = sdiv i32 %1336, 8                       ; [#uses=1]
1644  %.off.i208 = add i32 %1336, 7                   ; [#uses=1]
1645  %1338 = icmp ult i32 %.off.i208, 15             ; [#uses=1]
1646  
1647We already catch this (removing the sdiv) if there isn't an add, we should
1648handle the 'add' as well.  This is a common idiom with it's builtin_alloca code.
1649C testcase:
1650
1651int a(int x) { return (unsigned)(x/16+7) < 15; }
1652
1653Another similar case involves truncations on 64-bit targets:
1654
1655  %361 = sdiv i64 %.046, 8                        ; [#uses=1]
1656  %362 = trunc i64 %361 to i32                    ; [#uses=2]
1657...
1658  %367 = icmp eq i32 %362, 0                      ; [#uses=1]
1659
1660//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
1661
1662Missed instcombine/dagcombine transformation:
1663define void @lshift_lt(i8 zeroext %a) nounwind {
1664entry:
1665  %conv = zext i8 %a to i32
1666  %shl = shl i32 %conv, 3
1667  %cmp = icmp ult i32 %shl, 33
1668  br i1 %cmp, label %if.then, label %if.end
1669
1670if.then:
1671  tail call void @bar() nounwind
1672  ret void
1673
1674if.end:
1675  ret void
1676}
1677declare void @bar() nounwind
1678
1679The shift should be eliminated.  Testcase derived from gcc.
1680

1683These compile into different code, one gets recognized as a switch and the
1684other doesn't due to phase ordering issues (PR6212):
1685
1686int test1(int mainType, int subType) {
1687  if (mainType == 7)
1688    subType = 4;
1689  else if (mainType == 9)
1690    subType = 6;
1691  else if (mainType == 11)
1692    subType = 9;
1693  return subType;
1694}
1695
1696int test2(int mainType, int subType) {
1697  if (mainType == 7)
1698    subType = 4;
1699  if (mainType == 9)
1700    subType = 6;
1701  if (mainType == 11)
1702    subType = 9;
1703  return subType;
1704}
1705
1706//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
1707
1708The following test case (from PR6576):
1709
1710define i32 @mul(i32 %a, i32 %b) nounwind readnone {
1711entry:
1712 %cond1 = icmp eq i32 %b, 0                      ; <i1> [#uses=1]
1713 br i1 %cond1, label %exit, label %bb.nph
1714bb.nph:                                           ; preds = %entry
1715 %tmp = mul i32 %b, %a                           ; <i32> [#uses=1]
1716 ret i32 %tmp
1717exit:                                             ; preds = %entry
1718 ret i32 0
1719}
1720
1721could be reduced to:
1722
1723define i32 @mul(i32 %a, i32 %b) nounwind readnone {
1724entry:
1725 %tmp = mul i32 %b, %a
1726 ret i32 %tmp
1727}
1728
1729//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
1730
1731We should use DSE + llvm.lifetime.end to delete dead vtable pointer updates.
1732See GCC PR34949
1733
1734Another interesting case is that something related could be used for variables
1735that go const after their ctor has finished.  In these cases, globalopt (which
1736can statically run the constructor) could mark the global const (so it gets put
1737in the readonly section).  A testcase would be:
1738
1739#include <complex>
1740using namespace std;
1741const complex<char> should_be_in_rodata (42,-42);
1742complex<char> should_be_in_data (42,-42);
1743complex<char> should_be_in_bss;
1744
1745Where we currently evaluate the ctors but the globals don't become const because
1746the optimizer doesn't know they "become const" after the ctor is done.  See
1747GCC PR4131 for more examples.
1748
1749//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
1750
1751In this code:
1752
1753long foo(long x) {
1754  return x > 1 ? x : 1;
1755}
1756
1757LLVM emits a comparison with 1 instead of 0. 0 would be equivalent
1758and cheaper on most targets.
1759
1760LLVM prefers comparisons with zero over non-zero in general, but in this
1761case it choses instead to keep the max operation obvious.

1817but this code (X & -A)/A is X >> log2(A) when A is a power of 2, so this case
1818should be instcombined into just "a >> 4".

1820We do get this at the codegen level, so something knows about it, but 
1821instcombine should catch it earlier:

1872  %67 = call i64 @llvm.objectsize.i64(i8* %64, i1 false) nounwind
1873  %68 = call i8* @__memset_chk(i8* %64, i32 0, i64 %62, i64 %67) nounwind
1874
1875llvm.objectsize.i64 should be taught about malloc/calloc, allowing it to
1876fold to %62.  This is a security win (overflows of malloc will get caught)
1877and also a performance win by exposing more memsets to the optimizer.
1878
1879This occurs several times in viterbi.
1880
1881Note that this would change the semantics of @llvm.objectsize which by its
1882current definition always folds to a constant. We also should make sure that
1883we remove checking in code like
1884
1885  char *p = malloc(strlen(s)+1);
1886  __strcpy_chk(p, s, __builtin_objectsize(p, 0));

2066This shouldn't need the ((zext (%n - 1)) + 1) game, and it should ideally fold

2068
2069The issue with the addition only occurs in 64-bit mode, and appears to be at
2070least partially caused by Scalar Evolution not keeping its cache updated: it
2071returns the "wrong" result immediately after indvars runs, but figures out the
2072expected result if it is run from scratch on IR resulting from running indvars.

2087
2088into poor code for zero-initializing 'v' when N is >0. The problem is that
2089S is only 6 bytes, but each element is 8 byte-aligned. We generate a loop and
20904 stores on each iteration. If the struct were 8 bytes, this gets turned into
2091a memset.
2092
2093In order to handle this we have to:
2094  A) Teach clang to generate metadata for memsets of structs that have holes in
2095     them.
2096  B) Teach clang to use such a memset for zero init of this struct (since it has
2097     a hole), instead of doing elementwise zeroing.

2101clang -O3 currently compiles this code:
2102

2104double f() { return 0.0 * magic; }

2107
2108@magic = external constant i32

2113  %conv = sitofp i32 %tmp to double
2114  %mul = fmul double %conv, 0.000000e+00
2115  ret double %mul
2116}
2117
2118We should be able to fold away this fmul to 0.0.  More generally, fmul(x,0.0)
2119can be folded to 0.0 if we can prove that the LHS is not -0.0, not a NaN, and
2120not an INF.  The CannotBeNegativeZero predicate in value tracking should be
2121extended to support general "fpclassify" operations that can return 
2122yes/no/unknown for each of these predicates.
2123
2124In this predicate, we know that uitofp is trivially never NaN or -0.0, and
2125we know that it isn't +/-Inf if the floating point type has enough exponent bits
2126to represent the largest integer value as < inf.
2127
2128//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
2129
2130When optimizing a transformation that can change the sign of 0.0 (such as the
21310.0*val -> 0.0 transformation above), it might be provable that the sign of the
2132expression doesn't matter.  For example, by the above rules, we can't transform
2133fmul(sitofp(x), 0.0) into 0.0, because x might be -1 and the result of the
2134expression is defined to be -0.0.
2135
2136If we look at the uses of the fmul for example, we might be able to prove that
2137all uses don't care about the sign of zero.  For example, if we have:
2138
2139  fadd(fmul(sitofp(x), 0.0), 2.0)
2140
2141Since we know that x+2.0 doesn't care about the sign of any zeros in X, we can
2142transform the fmul to 0.0, and then the fadd to 2.0.
2143
2144//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
2145
2146We should enhance memcpy/memcpy/memset to allow a metadata node on them
2147indicating that some bytes of the transfer are undefined.  This is useful for
2148frontends like clang when lowering struct copies, when some elements of the
2149struct are undefined.  Consider something like this:
2150
2151struct x {
2152  char a;
2153  int b[4];
2154};
2155void foo(struct x*P);
2156struct x testfunc() {
2157  struct x V1, V2;
2158  foo(&V1);
2159  V2 = V1;
2160
2161  return V2;
2162}
2163
2164We currently compile this to:
2165$ clang t.c -S -o - -O0 -emit-llvm | opt -scalarrepl -S
2166
2167
2168%struct.x = type { i8, [4 x i32] }
2169
2170define void @testfunc(%struct.x* sret %agg.result) nounwind ssp {
2171entry:
2172  %V1 = alloca %struct.x, align 4
2173  call void @foo(%struct.x* %V1)
2174  %tmp1 = bitcast %struct.x* %V1 to i8*
2175  %0 = bitcast %struct.x* %V1 to i160*
2176  %srcval1 = load i160* %0, align 4
2177  %tmp2 = bitcast %struct.x* %agg.result to i8*
2178  %1 = bitcast %struct.x* %agg.result to i160*
2179  store i160 %srcval1, i160* %1, align 4
2180  ret void
2181}
2182
2183This happens because SRoA sees that the temp alloca has is being memcpy'd into
2184and out of and it has holes and it has to be conservative.  If we knew about the
2185holes, then this could be much much better.
2186
2187Having information about these holes would also improve memcpy (etc) lowering at
2188llc time when it gets inlined, because we can use smaller transfers.  This also
2189avoids partial register stalls in some important cases.
2190
2191//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
2192
2193We don't fold (icmp (add) (add)) unless the two adds only have a single use.
2194There are a lot of cases that we're refusing to fold in (e.g.) 256.bzip2, for
2195example:
2196
2197 %indvar.next90 = add i64 %indvar89, 1     ;; Has 2 uses
2198 %tmp96 = add i64 %tmp95, 1                ;; Has 1 use
2199 %exitcond97 = icmp eq i64 %indvar.next90, %tmp96
2200
2201We don't fold this because we don't want to introduce an overlapped live range
2202of the ivar.  However if we can make this more aggressive without causing
2203performance issues in two ways:
2204
22051. If *either* the LHS or RHS has a single use, we can definitely do the
2206   transformation.  In the overlapping liverange case we're trading one register
2207   use for one fewer operation, which is a reasonable trade.  Before doing this
2208   we should verify that the llc output actually shrinks for some benchmarks.
22092. If both ops have multiple uses, we can still fold it if the operations are
2210   both sinkable to *after* the icmp (e.g. in a subsequent block) which doesn't
2211   increase register pressure.
2212
2213There are a ton of icmp's we aren't simplifying because of the reg pressure
2214concern.  Care is warranted here though because many of these are induction
2215variables and other cases that matter a lot to performance, like the above.
2216Here's a blob of code that you can drop into the bottom of visitICmp to see some
2217missed cases:
2218
2219  { Value *A, *B, *C, *D;
2220    if (match(Op0, m_Add(m_Value(A), m_Value(B))) && 
2221        match(Op1, m_Add(m_Value(C), m_Value(D))) &&
2222        (A == C || A == D || B == C || B == D)) {

2294The two or/and's should be merged into one each.

2298Machine level code hoisting can be useful in some cases.  For example, PR9408
2299is about:
2300
2301typedef union {
2302 void (*f1)(int);
2303 void (*f2)(long);
2304} funcs;
2305
2306void foo(funcs f, int which) {
2307 int a = 5;
2308 if (which) {
2309   f.f1(a);
2310 } else {
2311   f.f2(a);
2312 }
2313}
2314
2315which we compile to:
2316
2317foo:                                    # @foo
2318# BB#0:                                 # %entry
2319       pushq   %rbp
2320       movq    %rsp, %rbp
2321       testl   %esi, %esi
2322       movq    %rdi, %rax
2323       je      .LBB0_2
2324# BB#1:                                 # %if.then
2325       movl    $5, %edi
2326       callq   *%rax
2327       popq    %rbp
2328       ret
2329.LBB0_2:                                # %if.else
2330       movl    $5, %edi
2331       callq   *%rax
2332       popq    %rbp
2333       ret
2334
2335Note that bb1 and bb2 are the same.  This doesn't happen at the IR level
2336because one call is passing an i32 and the other is passing an i64.

2340I see this sort of pattern in 176.gcc in a few places (e.g. the start of
2341store_bit_field).  The rem should be replaced with a multiply and subtract:
2342
2343  %3 = sdiv i32 %A, %B
2344  %4 = srem i32 %A, %B
2345
2346Similarly for udiv/urem.  Note that this shouldn't be done on X86 or ARM,
2347which can do this in a single operation (instruction or libcall).  It is
2348probably best to do this in the code generator.
2349
2350//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
2351
2352unsigned foo(unsigned x, unsigned y) { return (x & y) == 0 || x == 0; }
2353should fold to (x & y) == 0.
2354
2355//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
2356
2357unsigned foo(unsigned x, unsigned y) { return x > y && x != 0; }
2358should fold to x > y.
