[llvm-dev] RFC: Getting ProfileSummaryInfo and BlockFrequencyInfo from various types of passes under the new pass manager

LazyBlockFrequencyInfo seems usable with the old pass manager (save unnecessary BFI/BPI) and would work for function passes. I think the restriction still applies - a loop pass cannot still request (outer-scope) BFI, lazy or not, new or old (pass manager).

The trick is to design a proper update interface (and then implement it ;) ). And I have not spent enough time on this issue to get a good idea of what that interface would be. regards, Fedor.> >> It seems that for different types of passes to be able to get PSI >> and BFI, we’d need to ensure PSI is cached for a non-module pass, >> and PSI, BFI and the ModuleAnalysisManager proxy are cached for a >> loop pass in the pass pipelines.

Preserving LazyBFI might be as simple as resetting it all, yet the overall idea of this LAzyBFI thing seems to be more or less duplicating what analysis managers are doing in new pass manager. Here is a comment from LazyBFI's header: /// Note that it is expected that we wouldn't need this functionality for the /// new PM since with the new PM, analyses are executed on demand. :) regards, Fedor.> Another assumption is that it'd be cheap and safe to unconditionally > depend on PSI or check the module's profile summary. > > > regards, > Fedor. > >> >> >> [1] We cannot call AnalysisManager::getResult for an outer scope >> but only getCachedResult.
