[llvm-dev] LibCallAliasAnalysis class instantiation parameter
Hello,
Can anybody tell me the intent of the LibCallAliasAnalysisclass? I see that to
instantiate it, it requires a class derived from the purevirtual class
LibCallInfo, but I cannot find any classes in the source treethat derive from
LibCallInfo. Is this derived class intended to be suppliedfrom a compiler
front-end, library writer, or the llvm backend? I was looking at a case
similar to the following:
#include <math.h>
double x[1000], y[1000];double angle; void rotate(int point_count) { int i;
for (i=0; i < point_count; i++) { double tmp_x = x[i]; x[i]
= tmp_x * cos(angle) - y[i] *sin(angle); y[i] = y[i] * cos(angle) + tmp_x
*sin(angle); }} In this case, the queries done by getModRefInfo are unableto
avoid loading the ‘angle’ variable from memory for each call to sin/cos.Based on
the comments in LibCallSemantics.h, it appears that LibCallAliasAnalysis
shouldbe able to handle this case by recognizing that sin/cos only affect errno.
However, I don’t see any way of enabling this analysis without an appropriate
derivation of LibCallInfo. Does anybody have info for using this analysis?
Thanks, Chris
