similar to: [LLVMdev] 'loop invariant code motion' and 'Reassociate Expression'

As far as I can understand of the code, the Reassociate tries to achieve this result by its "ranking" mechanism. If it dose not, it is not hard to achieve this result, just restructure the expression in a way such that the earlier definition of the sub-expression is permute earlier in the resulting expr. e.g. outer-loop1 x= outer-loop2 y =

It's an interesting problem. The best stuff I've seen published is by Cooper, Eckhart, & Kennedy, in PACT '08. Cooper gives a nice intro in one of his lectures: http://www.cs.rice.edu/~keith/512/2012/Lectures/26ReassocII-1up.pdf I can't tell, quickly, what's going on in Reassociate; as usual, the documentation resolutely avoids giving any credit for the ideas. Why is that?

Hi all, I have been writing a pass to heapify some alloca's (it is pessimistization, not optimization). For example, in the following control flow graph, there is a call to malloc inserted in block BB12. In order to avoid memory leak, free's are needed. The free cannot be inserted in BB23 because BB23 is not dominated by BB12. There are two ways to go I can think of here. One way is to

Hi Henrique, Thanks for the quick reply!

Hi Henrique, I have tried using -mergereturn and inserting a free into the predecessors of dominance frontier of malloc block and it caused double free. It is possible for multiple free's to be inserted on the path from malloc to an exit. For example, in the following CFG: BB10 (malloc) / \ BB11 BB12 ... / \ / \

PRE normally uses a latest placement algorithm to do something of the sort. I don't know about GVN/PRE, but older version of PRE might have it. Just placing the calls to free at the predecessors (dominated by BB12) of the dominance frontier of BB12 seems to work, however. Is there anything wrong with this? H.

Try breaking the critical edges (-break-crit-edges). This way, a new block will be created between BB13 and BB11 (call this BB11.break) and BB15 and BB12 (call this BB12.break). The predecessors of the dominance frontier will, thus, be BB11.break, BB12.break, and BB14. When we enter through a block with a call to malloc(), we will end up in one of the blocks in the dominance frontier (kind of).

Thanks! I will try that and see whether it works.

Bill, Just in case this is relevant for you: If you're working with C++ code, or otherwise have any functions that might throw exceptions, you might also need to catch those exceptions in order to free the allocated memory. This will involve looking for calls to functions that mayThrow(), changing their calls to invokes, and freeing the memory before resuming the unwinding. -Hal -----

hi, The loopinfo pass failed to recognize the Tripcount of a simple program constructed by me, can you help me to figure out why this happened? Thanks.

False Alarm!! Still don't know how to do it! I am trying to write a transformation pass to extract a loop body into a function. For example: The Loop in question is: for (i2 = 0; i2 < LOOP_SIZE; i2++) { A[B[i2]] = 2 * B[i2]; } The IR for which is: bb13: ; preds = %bb13, %bb %i2.0.reg2mem.0 = phi i32 [ 0, %bb ], [ %indvar.next62, %bb13 ] ; <i32>

Hi, I would like some help regarding the LSR pass. It seems that it likes to duplicate address calculations as in the case above, which is highly undesirable on my target. I wonder if there is any way to tell LSR to not duplicate the code in cases like this? Or could I perhaps run CSE after LSR again? What is the logic behind this transformation? It seems that a LSR pass should not insert a

Hi All, I am creating an instrumentation pass using LLVM libraries. I am using clang++ (version 2.9) to compile cpp code into LLVM bit code. When I generate the llvm bit code using clang++ using -O3, I get many instances of instructions that look like the following. br i1 icmp ne (i8* bitcast (i32 (i32)* @pthread_cancel to i8*), i8* null), label %bb23, label %bb25 Here three LLVM instructions
