Mark structured conditional branches live only if one or more instructions
in their associated construct is marked live. After closure, replace dead
structured conditional branches with a branch to its merge and remove
dead blocks.
ADCE: Dead If Elim: Remove duplicate StructuredOrder code
Also generalize ComputeStructuredOrder so that the caller can specify the
root block for the order. Phi insertion uses pseudo_entry_block and adce and
dead branch elim use the first block of the function.
ADCE: Dead If Elim: Pull redundant code out of InsertPhiInstructions
ADCE: Dead If Elim: Encapsulate CFG Cleanup Initialization
ADCE: Dead If Elim: Remove redundant code from ADCE initialization
ADCE: Dead If: Use CFGCleanup to eliminate newly dead blocks
Moved bulk of CFG Cleanup code into MemPass.
These flags are expanded to a series of spirv-opt flags with the
following semantics:
-O: expands to passes that attempt to improve the performance of the
generated code.
-Os: expands to passes that attempt to reduce the size of the generated
code.
-Oconfig=<file> expands to the sequence of passes determined by the
flags specified in the user-provided file.
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.
ADCE will now generate correct code in the presence of function calls.
This is needed for opaque type optimization needed by glslang. Currently
all function calls are marked as live. TODO: mark calls live only if they
write a non-local.
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.
Create aggressive dead code elimination pass
This pass eliminates unused code from functions. In addition,
it detects and eliminates code which may have spurious uses but which do
not contribute to the output of the function. The most common cause of
such code sequences is summations in loops whose result is no longer used
due to dead code elimination. This optimization has additional compile
time cost over standard dead code elimination.
This pass only processes entry point functions. It also only processes
shaders with logical addressing. It currently will not process functions
with function calls. It currently only supports the GLSL.std.450 extended
instruction set. It currently does not support any extensions.
This pass will be made more effective by first running passes that remove
dead control flow and inlines function calls.
This pass can be especially useful after running Local Access Chain
Conversion, which tends to cause cycles of dead code to be left after
Store/Load elimination passes are completed. These cycles cannot be
eliminated with standard dead code elimination.
Additionally: This transform uses a whitelist of instructions that it
knows do have side effects, (a.k.a. combinators). It assumes other
instructions have side effects: it will not remove them, and assumes
they have side effects via their ID operands.
