The current method of removing an instruction is to call ToNop. The
problem with this is that it leaves around an instruction that later
passes will look at. We should just delete the instruction.
In MemPass there is a utility routine called DCEInst. It can delete
essentially any instruction, which can invalidate pointers now that they
are actually deleted. The interface was changed to add a call back that
can be used to update any local data structures that contain
ir::Intruction*.
Originally the passes that extended from MemPass were those that are
of the def-use manager. I am assuming they would be able to preserve
it because of that.
Added a check to verify consistency of the IRContext. The IRContext
relies on the pass to tell it if something is invalidated.
It is possible that the pass lied. To help identify those situations,
we will check if the valid analyses are correct after each pass.
This will be enabled by default for the debug build, and disabled in the
production build. It can be disabled in the debug build by adding
"-DSPIRV_CHECK_CONTEXT=OFF" to the cmake command.
NFC. This just makes sure every file is formatted following the
formatting definition in .clang-format.
Re-formatted with:
$ clang-format -i $(find source tools include -name '*.cpp')
$ clang-format -i $(find source tools include -name '*.h')
This is the first part of adding the IRContext. This class is meant to
hold the extra data that is build on top of the module that it
owns.
The first part will simply create the IRContext class and get it passed
to the passes in place of the module. For now it does not have any
functionality of its own, but it acts more as a wrapper for the module.
The functions that I added to the IRContext are those that either
traverse the headers or add to them. I did this because we may decide
to have other ways of dealing with these sections (for example adding a
type pool, or use the decoration manager).
I also added the function that add to the header because the IRContext
needs to know when an instruction is added to update other data
structures appropriately.
Note that there is still lots of work that needs to be done. There are
still many places that change the module, and do not inform the context.
That will be the next step.
Including a re-factor of common behaviour into class Pass:
The following functions are now in class Pass:
- IsLoopHeader.
- ComputeStructuredOrder
- ComputeStructuredSuccessors (annoyingly, I could not re-factor all
instances of this function, the copy in common_uniform_elim_pass.cpp
is slightly different and fails with the common implementation).
- GetPointeeTypeId
- TakeNextId
- FinalizeNextId
- MergeBlockIdIfAny
This is a NFC (non-functional change)
Includes code to deal correctly with OpFunctionParameter. This
is needed by opaque propagation which may not exhaustively inline
entry point functions.
Adds ProcessEntryPointCallTree: a method to do work on the
functions in the entry point call trees in a deterministic order.
This avoids conversion on variables which will not ultimately be optimized.
Also removed an obsolete restriction from FindTargetVars(). Also added
decorates to supported refs (eg. RelaxedPrecision). Also fixed name to
IsNonTypeDecorate().
Currently only SPV_KHR_variable_pointers is disallowed in passes which
do pointer analysis. Positive and negative tests of the general extensions
mechanism were added to aggressive_dce but cover all passes.
