Nadav,
Thanks for your help. I tried adding multiplication, but I'm still seeing
0s and 1s:
$ cat test.c
int main(){
int r = rand();
if (r > 1){
return r*8;
}
return r*86;
}
$ clang-3.6 -S -emit-llvm test.c -o test.bc
$ opt-3.6 -analyze -targetlibinfo -cost-model ./test.bc
Printing analysis 'Target Library Information':
Pass::print not implemented for pass: 'Target Library Information'!
Printing analysis 'Cost Model Analysis' for function 'main':
Cost Model: Unknown cost for instruction: %1 = alloca i32, align 4
Cost Model: Unknown cost for instruction: %r = alloca i32, align 4
Cost Model: Found an estimated cost of 1 for instruction: store i32 0,
i32* %1
Cost Model: Unknown cost for instruction: %2 = call i32 (...)* @rand()
Cost Model: Found an estimated cost of 1 for instruction: store i32 %2,
i32* %r, align 4
Cost Model: Found an estimated cost of 1 for instruction: %3 = load i32*
%r, align 4
Cost Model: Found an estimated cost of 1 for instruction: %4 = icmp sgt
i32 %3, 1
Cost Model: Found an estimated cost of 0 for instruction: br i1 %4, label
%5, label %8
Cost Model: Found an estimated cost of 1 for instruction: %6 = load i32*
%r, align 4
Cost Model: Found an estimated cost of 1 for instruction: %7 = mul nsw
i32 %6, 8
Cost Model: Found an estimated cost of 1 for instruction: store i32 %7,
i32* %1
Cost Model: Found an estimated cost of 0 for instruction: br label %11
Cost Model: Found an estimated cost of 1 for instruction: %9 = load i32*
%r, align 4
Cost Model: Found an estimated cost of 1 for instruction: %10 = mul nsw
i32 %9, 86
Cost Model: Found an estimated cost of 1 for instruction: store i32 %10,
i32* %1
Cost Model: Found an estimated cost of 0 for instruction: br label %11
Cost Model: Found an estimated cost of 1 for instruction: %12 = load i32*
%1
Cost Model: Found an estimated cost of 0 for instruction: ret i32 %12
I also tried adding setting the target with the flags you specified, but
that didn't seem to change anything:
$ opt-3.6 -analyze -mcpu=core-avx2 -mtriple=x86_64-apple-darwin
-targetlibinfo -cost-model ./test.bc
Printing analysis 'Target Library Information':
Pass::print not implemented for pass: 'Target Library Information'!
Printing analysis 'Cost Model Analysis' for function 'main':
Cost Model: Unknown cost for instruction: %1 = alloca i32, align 4
Cost Model: Unknown cost for instruction: %r = alloca i32, align 4
Cost Model: Found an estimated cost of 1 for instruction: store i32 0,
i32* %1
Cost Model: Unknown cost for instruction: %2 = call i32 (...)* @rand()
Cost Model: Found an estimated cost of 1 for instruction: store i32 %2,
i32* %r, align 4
Cost Model: Found an estimated cost of 1 for instruction: %3 = load i32*
%r, align 4
Cost Model: Found an estimated cost of 1 for instruction: %4 = icmp sgt
i32 %3, 1
Cost Model: Found an estimated cost of 0 for instruction: br i1 %4, label
%5, label %8
Cost Model: Found an estimated cost of 1 for instruction: %6 = load i32*
%r, align 4
Cost Model: Found an estimated cost of 1 for instruction: %7 = mul nsw
i32 %6, 8
Cost Model: Found an estimated cost of 1 for instruction: store i32 %7,
i32* %1
Cost Model: Found an estimated cost of 0 for instruction: br label %11
Cost Model: Found an estimated cost of 1 for instruction: %9 = load i32*
%r, align 4
Cost Model: Found an estimated cost of 1 for instruction: %10 = mul nsw
i32 %9, 86
Cost Model: Found an estimated cost of 1 for instruction: store i32 %10,
i32* %1
Cost Model: Found an estimated cost of 0 for instruction: br label %11
Cost Model: Found an estimated cost of 1 for instruction: %12 = load i32*
%1
Cost Model: Found an estimated cost of 0 for instruction: ret i32 %12
Any other ideas?
Thanks,
Steve
