[LLVMdev] How to unroll loop with non-constant boundary
Dear LLVM,
Consider two loops with one interation -
First with constant lower bound, second with usual non-constant lower
bound:
int main(int argc, char ** argv)
{
int numOfIterations= 1;
int stride=1;
int lowerBound = 1000; - 1st | int lowerBound = argc; - 2nd
int upperBound = lowerBound + (numOfIterations - 1)*stride;
int i = lowerBound;
int s = 0;
while(i <= upperBound)
{
s += i;
i++;
}
return s;
}
After the application of -O3 optimization:
The first loop was unrolled:
define i32 @main(i32 %argc, i8** nocapture %argv) nounwind uwtable
readnone {
entry:
ret i32 1000
}
But the second was not:
define i32 @main(i32 %argc, i8** nocapture %argv) nounwind uwtable
readnone {
entry:
br label %"3"
"3": ; preds =
%entry,
%"3"
%0 = phi i32 [ 0, %entry ], [ %2, %"3" ]
%1 = phi i32 [ %argc, %entry ], [ %3, %"3" ]
%2 = add i32 %0, %1
%3 = add i32 %1, 1
%4 = icmp sgt i32 %3, %argc
br i1 %4, label %"5", label %"3"
"5": ; preds =
%"3"
ret i32 %2
}
The questions:
Is it possible to unroll loop with non-constant boundary using
standard LLVM 3.1 facilities, and, if it is, how I can do that?
Best regards,
Nicolas

I wonder if there's a reason for this, it seems like something simple to add. Attached is a completely untested patch that adds the missing logic. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Hi Benjamin,> LLVM misses this optimization because ScalarEvolution's ComputeExitLimitFromICmp doesn't handle signed<= (SLE) and thus can't compute the number of times the loop is executed. I wonder if there's a reason for this, it seems like something simple to add.instsimplify could also be enhanced to clean it up in this particular case, but it would be better to make scev smarter.
