This is aimed at GPUs. It // currently works on simple if-then and if-then-else // patterns. // // Removing branches is not the only motivation for this // pass. E.g. consider this code and assume that there is no // addressing mode for multiplying by sizeof(*a): // // if (b > 0) // c = a[i + 1] // if (d > 0) // e = a[i + 2] // // turns into // // p = &a[i + 1]; // if (b > 0) // c = *p; // q = &a[i + 2]; // if (d > 0) // e = *q; // // which could later be optimized to // // r = &a[i]; // if (b > 0) // c = r[1]; // if (d > 0) // e = r[2]; // // Later passes sink back much of the speculated code that did not enable // further optimization. // // This pass is more aggressive than the function SpeculativeyExecuteBB in // SimplifyCFG. SimplifyCFG will not speculate if no selects are introduced and // it will speculate at most one instruction. It also will not speculate if // there is a value defined in the if-block that is only used in the then-block. // These restrictions make sense since the speculation in SimplifyCFG seems // aimed at introducing cheap selects, while this pass is intended to do more // aggressive speculation while counting on later passes to either capitalize on // that or clean it up. // // If the pass was created by calling // createSpeculativeExecutionIfHasBranchDivergencePass or the // -spec-exec-only-if-divergent-target option is present, this pass only has an // effect on targets where TargetTransformInfo::hasBranchDivergence() is true; // on other targets, it is a nop. // // This lets you include this pass unconditionally in the IR pass pipeline, but // only enable it for relevant targets. // //===----------------------------------------------------------------------===// #ifndef LLVM_TRANSFORMS_SCALAR_SPECULATIVEEXECUTION_H #define LLVM_TRANSFORMS_SCALAR_SPECULATIVEEXECUTION_H #include "llvm/Analysis/TargetTransformInfo.h" #include "llvm/IR/PassManager.h" namespace llvm { class SpeculativeExecutionPass : public PassInfoMixin { public: SpeculativeExecutionPass(bool OnlyIfDivergentTarget = false); PreservedAnalyses run(Function &F, FunctionAnalysisManager &AM); // Glue for old PM bool runImpl(Function &F, TargetTransformInfo *TTI); private: bool runOnBasicBlock(BasicBlock &B); bool considerHoistingFromTo(BasicBlock &FromBlock, BasicBlock &ToBlock); // If true, this pass is a nop unless the target architecture has branch // divergence. const bool OnlyIfDivergentTarget = false; TargetTransformInfo *TTI = nullptr; }; } #endif //LLVM_TRANSFORMS_SCALAR_SPECULATIVEEXECUTION_H
