llvm dev - Jun 2017 - Making an analysis availble during call lowering

Hi,


I want to be able to access a custom analysis pass during call lowering, but
there isn't a way to access this now and I'm not sure the least bad way
to thread this information into the DAG.


I want to be able to use knowledge of the callee function to change the lowering
of a call. Since AMDGPUDAGToDAGISel is ultimately a normal MachineFunction pass,
I'm able to get the interprocedural analysis pass there but don't have a
way to pass this into the call lowering where it's actually needed.


The laziest option would be to stash the pointer to the analysis in the
TargetMachine and get it from there, but is probably not the best idea. Another
option might be to store a pointer to the SelectionDAGISel pass in SelectionDAG,
so then there's a way to access the pass to get analysis directly. Is there
another option?

With the legacy pass manager, are you planning to schedule the analysis 
pass manually and then use getAnalysisIfAvailable?

Thanks again,

I didn’t need to do anything special. addRequired/getAnalysis work.
