This disables a bunch of passes when ownership is enabled. This will allow me to
keep transparent functions in ossa and skip most of the performance pipeline without
being touched by passes that have not been updated for ownership.
This is important so that we can in -Onone code import transparent functions and
inline them into other ossa functions (you can't inline from ossa => non-ossa).
introduce a common superclass, SILNode.
This is in preparation for allowing instructions to have multiple
results. It is also a somewhat more elegant representation for
instructions that have zero results. Instructions that are known
to have exactly one result inherit from a class, SingleValueInstruction,
that subclasses both ValueBase and SILInstruction. Some care must be
taken when working with SILNode pointers and testing for equality;
please see the comment on SILNode for more information.
A number of SIL passes needed to be updated in order to handle this
new distinction between SIL values and SIL instructions.
Note that the SIL parser is now stricter about not trying to assign
a result value from an instruction (like 'return' or 'strong_retain')
that does not produce any.
Instead of having the complicated logic of finding the end of an object's lifetime we now use the existing ValueLifetimeAnalysis and StackNesting tools.
This simplifies the implementation a lot and does not use dominator and post-dominator trees anymore.
It's not a NFC because the way how to ensure proper nesting of stack allocations is now different.
To correct the stack nesting, the deallocations are moved down (instead of moving the allocations up).
Also it's now required that there is a final release for the allocation on all paths (which was not the case in some hand-written SIL tests).
Computation of dead-end blocks and escape analysis are now only done on demand. This saves compile time in case a function has no alloc_refs at all.
This patch started with a suggestion from Adrian Prantl to adapt to
LLVM r307953. The code has changed more since then so I modified it
to get it to build and I also fixed up StackPromotion to deal with related
changes. (I did not search back very far but it looks like the StackPromotion
change may have been a latent bug that did not matter much until recent
changes started using the function parameter.)
At some point, pass definitions were heavily macro-ized. Pass
descriptive names were added in two places. This is not only redundant
but a source of confusion. You could waste a lot of time grepping for
the wrong string. I removed all the getName() overrides which, at
around 90 passes, was a fairly significant amount of code bloat.
Any pass that we want to be able to invoke by name from a tool
(sil-opt) or pipeline plan *should* have unique type name, enum value,
commend-line string, and name string. I removed a comment about the
various inliner passes that contradicted that.
Side note: We should be consistent with the policy that a pass is
identified by its type. We have a couple passes, LICM and CSE, which
currently violate that convention.
Remove unused function as identified during a normal compilation:
swift/lib/SILOptimizer/Transforms/StackPromotion.cpp:303:15: warning: unused function 'operator!=' [-Wunused-function]
Changes:
* Terminate all namespaces with the correct closing comment.
* Make sure argument names in comments match the corresponding parameter name.
* Remove redundant get() calls on smart pointers.
* Prefer using "override" or "final" instead of "virtual". Remove "virtual" where appropriate.
This was already done for getSuccessorBlocks() to distinguish getting successor
blocks from getting the full list of SILSuccessors via getSuccessors(). This
commit just makes all of the successor/predecessor code follow that naming
convention.
Some examples:
getSingleSuccessor() => getSingleSuccessorBlock().
isSuccessor() => isSuccessorBlock().
getPreds() => getPredecessorBlocks().
Really, IMO, we should consider renaming SILSuccessor to a more verbose name so
that it is clear that it is more of an internal detail of SILBasicBlock's
implementation rather than something that one should consider as apart of one's
mental model of the IR when one really wants to be thinking about predecessor
and successor blocks. But that is not what this commit is trying to change, it
is just trying to eliminate a bit of technical debt by making the naming
conventions here consistent.
Before this commit all code relating to handling arguments in SILBasicBlock had
somewhere in the name BB. This is redundant given that the class's name is
already SILBasicBlock. This commit drops those names.
Some examples:
getBBArg() => getArgument()
BBArgList => ArgumentList
bbarg_begin() => args_begin()
The behaviour of ilist has changed in LLVM. It is no longer permissible to
dereference the `end()` value. Add a check to ensure that we do not
accidentally dereference the iterator.
This adds the typedef and switches uses of NodeType * to NodeRef. This is in
preparation for the eventual NodeRef-ization of the GraphTraits in LLVM. NFC.
This broke the test suite under optimizations with a SIL verifier error: "stack dealloc does
not match most recent stack alloc".
This reverts commit 7a2ca23bc2, reversing
changes made to 4c55e8d7a7.
Unreachable blocks prevented stack promotion in some cases.
Now we use our own post-dominator tree which ignores unreachable blocks instead of the standard post-dominator tree provided by the PostDominanceAnalysis.
Unreachable blocks (better: unreachable sub-graphs) are of no interrest because we don't have to insert the dealloc instructions in unreachable blocks anyway.
We were giving special handling to ApplyInst when we were attempting to use
getMemoryBehavior(). This commit changes the special handling to work on all
full apply sites instead of just AI. Additionally, we look through partial
applies and thin to thick functions.
I also added a dumper called BasicInstructionPropertyDumper that just dumps the
results of SILInstruction::get{Memory,Releasing}Behavior() for all instructions
in order to verify this behavior.
Similarly to how we've always handled parameter types, we
now recursively expand tuples in result types and separately
determine a result convention for each result.
The most important code-generation change here is that
indirect results are now returned separately from each
other and from any direct results. It is generally far
better, when receiving an indirect result, to receive it
as an independent result; the caller is much more likely
to be able to directly receive the result in the address
they want to initialize, rather than having to receive it
in temporary memory and then copy parts of it into the
target.
The most important conceptual change here that clients and
producers of SIL must be aware of is the new distinction
between a SILFunctionType's *parameters* and its *argument
list*. The former is just the formal parameters, derived
purely from the parameter types of the original function;
indirect results are no longer in this list. The latter
includes the indirect result arguments; as always, all
the indirect results strictly precede the parameters.
Apply instructions and entry block arguments follow the
argument list, not the parameter list.
A relatively minor change is that there can now be multiple
direct results, each with its own result convention.
This is a minor change because I've chosen to leave
return instructions as taking a single operand and
apply instructions as producing a single result; when
the type describes multiple results, they are implicitly
bound up in a tuple. It might make sense to split these
up and allow e.g. return instructions to take a list
of operands; however, it's not clear what to do on the
caller side, and this would be a major change that can
be separated out from this already over-large patch.
Unsurprisingly, the most invasive changes here are in
SILGen; this requires substantial reworking of both call
emission and reabstraction. It also proved important
to switch several SILGen operations over to work with
RValue instead of ManagedValue, since otherwise they
would be forced to spuriously "implode" buffers.
(libraries now)
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.
