* Make DataLayout Non-Optional in the ModuleMehdi Amini2015-03-041-1/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Summary: DataLayout keeps the string used for its creation. As a side effect it is no longer needed in the Module. This is "almost" NFC, the string is no longer canonicalized, you can't rely on two "equals" DataLayout having the same string returned by getStringRepresentation(). Get rid of DataLayoutPass: the DataLayout is in the Module The DataLayout is "per-module", let's enforce this by not duplicating it more than necessary. One more step toward non-optionality of the DataLayout in the module. Make DataLayout Non-Optional in the Module Module->getDataLayout() will never returns nullptr anymore.

* [cleanup] Re-sort all the #include lines in LLVM usingChandler Carruth2015-01-141-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | utils/sort_includes.py. I clearly haven't done this in a while, so more changed than usual. This even uncovered a missing include from the InstrProf library that I've added. No functionality changed here, just mechanical cleanup of the include order. llvm-svn: 225974

* IR: MDNode => Value: Instruction::getMetadata()Duncan P. N. Exon Smith2014-11-011-8/+8
| | | | | | | | | | Change `Instruction::getMetadata()` to return `Value` as part of PR21433. Update most callers to use `Instruction::getMDNode()`, which wraps the result in a `cast_or_null<MDNode>`. llvm-svn: 221024

* Simplify and improve scoped-noalias metadata semanticsHal Finkel2014-07-251-47/+51
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the process of fixing the noalias parameter -> metadata conversion process that will take place during inlining (which will be committed soon, but not turned on by default), I have come to realize that the semantics provided by yesterday's commit are not really what we want. Here's why: void foo(noalias a, noalias b, noalias c, bool x) { *q = x ? a : b; *c = *q; } Generically, we know that *c does not alias with *a and with *b (so there is an 'and' in what we know we're not), and we know that *q might be derived from *a or from *b (so there is an 'or' in what we know that we are). So we do not want the semantics currently, where any noalias scope matching any alias.scope causes a NoAlias return. What we want to know is that the noalias scopes form a superset of the alias.scope list (meaning that all the things we know we're not is a superset of all of things the other instruction might be). Making that change, however, introduces a composibility problem. If we inline once, adding the noalias metadata, and then inline again adding more, and we append new scopes onto the noalias and alias.scope lists each time. But, this means that we could change what was a NoAlias result previously into a MayAlias result because we appended an additional scope onto one of the alias.scope lists. So, instead of giving scopes the ability to have parents (which I had borrowed from the TBAA implementation, but seems increasingly unlikely to be useful in practice), I've given them domains. The subset/superset condition now applies within each domain independently, and we only need it to hold in one domain. Each time we inline, we add the new scopes in a new scope domain, and everything now composes nicely. In addition, this simplifies the implementation. llvm-svn: 213948
* Add scoped-noalias metadataHal Finkel2014-07-241-0/+243
This commit adds scoped noalias metadata. The primary motivations for this feature are: 1. To preserve noalias function attribute information when inlining 2. To provide the ability to model block-scope C99 restrict pointers Neither of these two abilities are added here, only the necessary infrastructure. In fact, there should be no change to existing functionality, only the addition of new features. The logic that converts noalias function parameters into this metadata during inlining will come in a follow-up commit. What is added here is the ability to generally specify noalias memory-access sets. Regarding the metadata, alias-analysis scopes are defined similar to TBAA nodes: !scope0 = metadata !{ metadata !"scope of foo()" } !scope1 = metadata !{ metadata !"scope 1", metadata !scope0 } !scope2 = metadata !{ metadata !"scope 2", metadata !scope0 } !scope3 = metadata !{ metadata !"scope 2.1", metadata !scope2 } !scope4 = metadata !{ metadata !"scope 2.2", metadata !scope2 } Loads and stores can be tagged with an alias-analysis scope, and also, with a noalias tag for a specific scope: ... = load %ptr1, !alias.scope !{ !scope1 } ... = load %ptr2, !alias.scope !{ !scope1, !scope2 }, !noalias !{ !scope1 } When evaluating an aliasing query, if one of the instructions is associated with an alias.scope id that is identical to the noalias scope associated with the other instruction, or is a descendant (in the scope hierarchy) of the noalias scope associated with the other instruction, then the two memory accesses are assumed not to alias. Note that is the first element of the scope metadata is a string, then it can be combined accross functions and translation units. The string can be replaced by a self-reference to create globally unqiue scope identifiers. [Note: This overview is slightly stylized, since the metadata nodes really need to just be numbers (!0 instead of !scope0), and the scope lists are also global unnamed metadata.] Existing noalias metadata in a callee is "cloned" for use by the inlined code. This is necessary because the aliasing scopes are unique to each call site (because of possible control dependencies on the aliasing properties). For example, consider a function: foo(noalias a, noalias b) { *a = *b; } that gets inlined into bar() { ... if (...) foo(a1, b1); ... if (...) foo(a2, b2); } -- now just because we know that a1 does not alias with b1 at the first call site, and a2 does not alias with b2 at the second call site, we cannot let inlining these functons have the metadata imply that a1 does not alias with b2. llvm-svn: 213864
