This patch adds LoopUtils class to handle some loop related transformations. For now it has 2 transformations that simplifies other transformations such as loop unroll or unswitch:
- Dedicate exit blocks: this ensure that all exit basic block
(out-of-loop basic blocks that have a predecessor in the loop)
have all their predecessors in the loop;
- Loop Closed SSA (LCSSA): this ensure that all definitions in a loop are used inside the loop
or in a phi instruction in an exit basic block.
It also adds the following capabilities:
- Loop::IsLCSSA to test if the loop is in a LCSSA form
- Loop::GetOrCreatePreHeaderBlock that can build a loop preheader if required;
- New methods to allow on the fly updates of the loop descriptors.
- New methods to allow on the fly updates of the CFG analysis.
- Instruction::SetOperand to allow expression of the index relative to Instruction::NumOperands (to be compatible with the index returned by DefUseManager::ForEachUse)
Add post-order tree iterator.
Add DominatorTreeNode extensions:
- Add begin/end methods to do pre-order and post-order tree traversal from a given DominatorTreeNode
Add DominatorTree extensions:
- Add begin/end methods to do pre-order and post-order tree traversal
- Tree traversal ignore by default the pseudo entry block
- Retrieve a DominatorTreeNode from a basic block
Add loop descriptor:
- Add a LoopDescriptor class to register all loops in a given function.
- Add a Loop class to describe a loop:
- Loop parent
- Nested loops
- Loop depth
- Loop header, merge, continue and preheader
- Basic blocks that belong to the loop
Correct a bug that forced dominator tree to be constantly rebuilt.
