llvm dev - Jul 2017 - [SPIR/PTX] Divergence analysis for BasicBlocks

Hello,

It seems to me that our current DivergenceAnalysis does not save which
BasicBlocks may suffer from divergent control. Am I correct?

I want to modify our DivergenceAnalysis to add a "bool
isControlDivergent(BasicBlock*) const" method and save in the divergence
propagator the basicblock that are divergent. I am not sure that is
entirely correct, if you have input on that please let me know.

That being said, to ease my debugging process I want to introduce a
-dot-divergence pass that dump the cfg with divergent basicblocks in red. I
was wondering if our dot printer is flexible enough to allow me to also
print in color the SSA variables that are divergent.

Thanks.

What would be the definition of “isControlDivergent(BasicBlock*)”; the
complementary of “allActive(BasicBlock*)” – blocks known to execute all lanes,
whenever reached? Note the (distinct) term “rewire targets” that Ralf Karrenberg
used in his thesis.

Hello,

Yes? Where is allActive defined, I couldn't find it.

Basically, a BB is control divergent if it's execution depends on a branch
that itself depends on a divergent ssa value.
