Track in-use iterators and update them both when instructions are
deleted and when they are added.
Safe iteration in the presence of arbitrary changes now looks like
this:
for (SILInstruction *inst : deleter.updatingRange(&bb)) {
modify(inst);
}
I am trying to be more careful about this rather than letting someone make this
mistake in the future. I also added some comments and a DeadEndBlocks instance
to TempRValueElimination so that it gets full simplifications in OSSA.
Currently all of these places in the code base perform simplifyInstruction and
then a replaceAllSimplifiedUsesAndErase(...). This is a bad pattern since:
1. simplifyInstruction assumes its result will be passed to
replaceAllSimplifiedUsesAndErase. So by leaving these as separate things, we
allow for users to pointlessly make this mistake.
2. I am going to implement in a subsequent commit a utility that lifetime
extends interior pointer bases when replacing an address with an interior
pointer derived address. To do this efficiently, I want to reuse state I
compute during simplifyInstruction during the actual RAUW meaning that if the
two operations are split, that is difficult without extending the API. So by
removing this, I can make the transform and eliminate mistakes at the same
time.
This is a low level API already being used in multiple places besides
InstSimplify (e.x.: Utils/OwnershipOptUtils), so it makes sense to move it into
InstOptUtil.
Specifically before this PR, if a caller did not customize a specific callback
of InstModCallbacks, we would store a static default std::function into
InstModCallbacks. This means that we always would have an indirect jump. That is
unfortunate since this code is often called in loops.
In this PR, I eliminate this problem by:
1. I made all of the actual callback std::function in InstModCallback private
and gave them a "Func" postfix (e.x.: deleteInst -> deleteInstFunc).
2. I created public methods with the old callback names to actually call the
callbacks. This ensured that as long as we are not escaping callbacks from
InstModCallback, this PR would not result in the need for any source changes
since we are changing a call of a std::function field to a call to a method.
3. I changed all of the places that were escaping inst mod's callbacks to take
an InstModCallback. We shouldn't be doing that anyway.
4. I changed the default value of each callback in InstModCallbacks to be a
nullptr and changed the public helper methods to check if a callback is
null. If the callback is not null, it is called, otherwise the getter falls
back to an inline default implementation of the operation.
All together this means that the cost of a plain InstModCallback is reduced and
one pays an indirect function cost price as one customizes it further which is
better scalability.
P.S. as a little extra thing, I added a madeChange field onto the
InstModCallback. Now that we have the helpers calling the callbacks, I can
easily insert instrumentation like this, allowing for users to pass in
InstModCallback and see if anything was RAUWed without needing to specify a
callback.
This is a generic API that when ownership is enabled allows one to replace all
uses of a value with a value with a differing ownership by transforming/lifetime
extending as appropriate.
This API supports all pairings of ownership /except/ replacing a value with
OwnershipKind::None with a value without OwnershipKind::None. This is a more
complex optimization that we do not support today. As a result, we include on
our state struct a helper routine that callers can use to know if the two values
that they want to process can be handled by the algorithm.
My moticiation is to use this to to update InstSimplify and SILCombiner in a
less bug prone way rather than just turn stuff off.
Noting that this transformation inserts ownership instructions, I have made sure
to test this API in two ways:
1. With Mandatory Combiner alone (to make sure it works period).
2. With Mandatory Combiner + Semantic ARC Opts to make sure that we can
eliminate the extra ownership instructions it inserts.
As one can see from the tests, the optimizer today is able to handle all of
these transforms except one conditional case where I need to eliminate a dead
phi arg. I have a separate branch that hits that today but I have exposed unsafe
behavior in ClosureLifetimeFixup that I need to fix first before I can land
that. I don't want that to stop this PR since I think the current low level ARC
optimizer may be able to help me here since this is a simple transform it does
all of the time.
This will make the forthcoming CanonicalizeInstruction interface more
clear.
This is generally the better approach to utilities that mutate the
instruction stream. It avoids the temptation to assume that only a
single instruction will be deleted or that only instructions before
the current iterator will be deleted. This often happens to work but
eventually fails in the presense of debug and end-of-scope
instructions.
A function returning an iterator has a more clear contract than one
accepting some iterator reference of unknown
providence. Unfortunately, it doesn't work at the lowest level of
utilities, such as recursivelyDeleteTriviallyDeadInstructions, where
we want to handle instruction batches.
We've been running doxygen with the autobrief option for a couple of
years now. This makes the \brief markers into our comments
redundant. Since they are a visual distraction and we don't want to
encourage more \brief markers in new code either, this patch removes
them all.

It has been generally agreed that we need to do this reorg, and now
seems like the perfect time. Some major pass reorganization is in the
works.
This does not have to be the final word on the matter. The consensus
among those working on the code is that it's much better than what we
had and a better starting point for future bike shedding.
Note that the previous organization was designed to allow separate
analysis and optimization libraries. It turns out this is an
artificial distinction and not an important goal.
