//===-- ArgumentPromotion.cpp - Promote by-reference arguments ------------===// // // The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure // // This file is distributed under the University of Illinois Open Source // License. See LICENSE.TXT for details. // //===----------------------------------------------------------------------===// // // This pass promotes "by reference" arguments to be "by value" arguments. In // practice, this means looking for internal functions that have pointer // arguments. If it can prove, through the use of alias analysis, that an // argument is *only* loaded, then it can pass the value into the function // instead of the address of the value. This can cause recursive simplification // of code and lead to the elimination of allocas (especially in C++ template // code like the STL). // // This pass also handles aggregate arguments that are passed into a function, // scalarizing them if the elements of the aggregate are only loaded. Note that // by default it refuses to scalarize aggregates which would require passing in more than // three operands to the function, because passing thousands of operands for a // large array or structure is unprofitable! This limit is can be configured or // disabled, however. // // Note that this transformation could also be done for arguments that are only // stored to (returning the value instead), but does not currently. This case // would be best handled when and if LLVM begins supporting multiple return // values from functions. // //===----------------------------------------------------------------------===// #define DEBUG_TYPE "argpromotion" #include "llvm/Transforms/IPO.h" #include "llvm/Constants.h" #include "llvm/DerivedTypes.h" #include "llvm/Module.h" #include "llvm/CallGraphSCCPass.h" #include "llvm/Instructions.h" #include "llvm/Analysis/AliasAnalysis.h" #include "llvm/Analysis/CallGraph.h" #include "llvm/Target/TargetData.h" #include "llvm/Support/CallSite.h" #include "llvm/Support/CFG.h" #include "llvm/Support/Debug.h" #include "llvm/ADT/DepthFirstIterator.h" #include "llvm/ADT/Statistic.h" #include "llvm/ADT/StringExtras.h" #include "llvm/Support/Compiler.h" #include using namespace llvm; STATISTIC(NumArgumentsPromoted , "Number of pointer arguments promoted"); STATISTIC(NumAggregatesPromoted, "Number of aggregate arguments promoted"); STATISTIC(NumByValArgsPromoted , "Number of byval arguments promoted"); STATISTIC(NumArgumentsDead , "Number of dead pointer args eliminated"); namespace { /// ArgPromotion - The 'by reference' to 'by value' argument promotion pass. /// struct VISIBILITY_HIDDEN ArgPromotion : public CallGraphSCCPass { virtual void getAnalysisUsage(AnalysisUsage &AU) const { AU.addRequired(); AU.addRequired(); CallGraphSCCPass::getAnalysisUsage(AU); } virtual bool runOnSCC(const std::vector &SCC); static char ID; // Pass identification, replacement for typeid ArgPromotion(unsigned maxElements = 3) : CallGraphSCCPass((intptr_t)&ID), maxElements(maxElements) {} private: bool PromoteArguments(CallGraphNode *CGN); bool isSafeToPromoteArgument(Argument *Arg, bool isByVal) const; Function *DoPromotion(Function *F, SmallPtrSet &ArgsToPromote, SmallPtrSet &ByValArgsToTransform); /// The maximum number of elements to expand, or 0 for unlimited. unsigned maxElements; }; } char ArgPromotion::ID = 0; static RegisterPass X("argpromotion", "Promote 'by reference' arguments to scalars"); Pass *llvm::createArgumentPromotionPass(unsigned maxElements) { return new ArgPromotion(maxElements); } bool ArgPromotion::runOnSCC(const std::vector &SCC) { bool Changed = false, LocalChange; do { // Iterate until we stop promoting from this SCC.
