I'm writing an opt pass that adds a lot of new functions to a module. In some extreme cases, this causes opt to fail with out-of-memory errors. Since all the created functions quickly become unneeded for my pass, I am trying to find a way to discard them from memory (i.e., write them to disk). I noticed there is a method to do just this: GlobalValue::Dematerialize. However, there does not

Hi all. I’ve heard a couple of times that some of the problems solved by various passes in the optimizer are indeed NP-hard, even though the instances are small enough to be tractable (and very quickly). Is this true? If so, which are these problems? Register allocation? Instruction scheduling? Are they solved exactly or by approximations? Or not solved at all (the need of solving them is

Hi Leslie, I suggest adding these 3 papers to your reading list.
