Hi Bill, Which scheduler do you use? MI or SDNode one? In either case the problem is likely the same, but cause might be in a different place... The way I see it, you have an issue with the alias analyzer, not scheduler. When scheduling DAG is constructed, AA is checked for pairs of mem accessing objects, and if no potential interference is flagged by the AA the chain edge is _not_ inserted. If that decision is wrong, you will end up with a well hidden and randomly popping bugs. So the question much more likely is: Why AA sees these two objects as not aliasing, and are they properly described and presented to it? Does ld/bitcast has proper memory operands? Any flags on them? Is underlying memory object making sense? You can look at getUnderlyingObjectForInstr and MIsNeedChainEdge in the MI scheduling framework to see what I mean. If you are still using SDNode scheduling framework - it has a very similar functionality in a slightly different code. Hope this helps.

[LLVMdev] Scheduling question (memory dependency)
Hi Sergei, Thanks for the response! We just discovered there is likely a bug happening during post-RA list scheduling. There's an invalid successor index in the scheduling graph that is probably supposed to be the missing arc. Starting to investigate further now. This is recorded in http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=13891. Thanks, Bill On Fri, 2012-09-21 at 11:15 -0500, Sergei Larin wrote:> Hi Bill, > > Which scheduler do you use? MI or SDNode one?

The problem appears to be that the load and store both return a value from getUnderlyingObjectForInstr, but they are two different objects...
