The XXOptUtils.h convention is already established and parallels
the SIL/XXUtils convention.
New:
- InstOptUtils.h
- CFGOptUtils.h
- BasicBlockOptUtils.h
- ValueLifetime.h
Removed:
- Local.h
- Two conflicting CFG.h files
This reorganization is helpful before I introduce more
utilities for block cloning similar to SinkAddressProjections.
Move the control flow utilies out of Local.h, which was an
unreadable, unprincipled mess. Rename it to InstOptUtils.h, and
confine it to small APIs for working with individual instructions.
These are the optimizer's additions to /SIL/InstUtils.h.
Rename CFG.h to CFGOptUtils.h and remove the one in /Analysis. Now
there is only SIL/CFG.h, resolving the naming conflict within the
swift project (this has always been a problem for source tools). Limit
this header to low-level APIs for working with branches and CFG edges.
Add BasicBlockOptUtils.h for block level transforms (it makes me sad
that I can't use BBOptUtils.h, but SIL already has
BasicBlockUtils.h). These are larger APIs for cloning or removing
whole blocks.
This is a simple "utility" pass that canonicalizes SSA SILValues with
respect to copies and destroys. It is a self-contained, provably
complete pass that eliminates spurious copy_value instructions from
scalar SSA SILValues. It fundamentally depends on ownership SIL, but
otherwise can be run efficiently after any other pass. It separates
the pure problem of handling scalar SSA values from the more important
and complex problems:
- Promoting variables to SSA form (PredictableMemOps and Mem2Reg
partially do this).
- Optimizing copies within "SIL borrow" scopes (another mandatory pass
will be introduced to do this).
- Composing and decomposing aggregates (SROA handles some of this).
- Coalescing phis (A BlockArgumentOptimizer will be introduced as part
of AddressLowering).
- Removing unnecessary retain/release when nothing within its scope
may release the same object (ARC Code Motion does some of this).
Note that removing SSA copies was more obviously necessary before the
migration to +0 argument convention.
