Merge return assumes that the only unreachable blocks are those needed
to keep the structured cfg valid. Even those must be essentially empty
blocks.
If this is not the case, we get unpredictable behaviour. This commit
add a check in merge return, and emits an error if it is not the case.
Added a pass of dead branch elimination before merge return in both the
performance and size passes. It is a precondition of merge return.
Fixes#1962.
A limit of 0 for the scalar replacement options it used to indicate that
there is no limit. The current implementation does not allow 0. This
should be fixed.
Adds unrolling to the legalization passes.
After enabling unrolling I found a bug when there is a self-referencing
phi node. That has been fixed.
The test that checks for that the order of optimizations is correct also
needed to be updated.
This forks the testing harness from https://github.com/google/shaderc
to allow testing CLI tools.
New features needed for SPIRV-Tools include:
1- A new PlaceHolder subclass for spirv shaders. This place holder
calls spirv-as to convert assembly input into SPIRV bytecode. This is
required for most tools in SPIRV-Tools.
2- A minimal testing file for testing basic functionality of spirv-opt.
Add tests for all flags in spirv-opt.
1. Adds tests to check that known flags match the names that each pass
advertises.
2. Adds tests to check that -O, -Os and --legalize-hlsl schedule the
expected passes.
3. Adds more functionality to Expect classes to support regular
expression matching on stderr.
4. Add checks for integer arguments to optimization flags.
5. Fixes#1817 by modifying the parsing of integer arguments in
flags that take them.
6. Fixes -Oconfig file parsing (#1778). It reads every line of the file
into a string and then parses that string by tokenizing every group of
characters between whitespaces (using the standard cin reading
operator). This mimics shell command-line parsing, but it does not
support quoting (and I'm not planning to).
