This adds a new kind of fact to the fact manager that knows whether a
block is dead - i.e. guaranteed to be statically unreachable - and a
new transformation for adding a selection construct to a CFG that
conditionally branches to a fresh, dead block, such that the branch
will never be dynamically taken. Transformations that may create new
blocks ('split block' and 'outline function') are updated to propagate
dead block facts to newly-created blocks where appropriate. A fuzzer
pass randomly adds dead blocks to the module.
Future transformations will be able to exploit the fact that such
blocks are known to be dead.
Adds an option to run the validator on the SPIR-V binary after each
fuzzer pass has been applied, to help identify when the fuzzer has
made the module invalid. Also adds a helper method to allow dumping
of the sequence of transformations that have been applied to a JSON
file.
If the fuzzer's fact manager knows that ids A and B are synonymous, it
can replace a use of A with a use of B, so long as various conditions
hold (e.g. the definition of B must dominate the use of A, and it is
not legal to replace a use of an OpConstant in a struct's access chain
with a synonym that is not an OpConstant).
This change adds a fuzzer pass to sprinke such synonym replacements
through the module.
Similar to the existing 'add dead breaks' pass, this adds a pass to
add dead continues to blocks in loops where such a transformation is
viable. Various functionality common to this new pass and 'add dead
breaks' has been factored into 'fuzzer_util', and some small
improvements to 'add dead breaks' that were identified while reviewing
that code again have been applied.
Fixes#2719.
With this pass, the fuzzer can split blocks in the input module. This
is mainly useful in order to give other (future) transformations more
opportunities to apply.
