When we have a single release that can be traced back to a SILArgument.
i.e. the released value is RC-identical to the SILArgument. we do not
need projection to check whether there are overlapping/uncovered releases
for the SILargument (which will result we exit the epilogue walking sequnece).
This brings the # of Total owned args -> guaranteed args from 118 and 149.
There are 23 owned args which we can not find epilogue releases for at this
point and many (if not most) is a result of partial_apply which rc-identity
nor projection can handle.
with this commit i see differences only in 2 benchmarks. baseline is without this
change. I am looking at the SuperChars regression.
StrToInt 9297 8402 -895 -9.6% 1.11x
SuperChars 676554 748375 +71821 +10.6% 0.90x (!)
When we have all the epilogue releases. Make sure they cover all the non-trivial
parts of the base. Otherwise, treat as if we've found no releases for the base.
Currently. this is a NFC other than epilogue dumper. I will wire it up with
function signature with next commit.
This is part of rdar://22380547
So instead of only being able to match %1 and release %1 in (1). we
can also match %1 with (release %2, and release%3, i.e. exploded release_value)
in (2).
(1)
foo(%1)
strong_release %1
(2)
foo(%1)
%2 = struct_extract %1, field_a
%3 = struct_extract %1, field_b
strong_release %2
strong_release %3
This will allow function signature to better move the release instructions to
the callers.
Currently, this is a NFC other than testing using the epilogue match dumper.
As there are no instructions left which produce multiple result values, this is a NFC regarding the generated SIL and generated code.
Although this commit is large, most changes are straightforward adoptions to the changes in the ValueBase and SILValue classes.
If this semantic tag is applied to a function, then we know that:
- The function does not touch any reference counted objects.
- After the function is executed, all reference counted objects are leaked
(most likely in preparation for program termination).
This allows one, when performing ARC code motion, to ignore blocks that contain
an apply to this function as long as the block does not have any other side
effect having instructions.
I have wanted to do this for a while but was stymied by lacking the ability to
apply multiple @_semantics attributes. This is now committed to trunk so I added
this attribute instead of pattern matching against fatalError (since there could
be other functions with this property).

Previously, we relied on a quirk in the ARC optimizer so that we only
need to visit terminators top down. This simplified the dataflow. Sadly,
try_apply changes this since it is a terminator that provides a call
with the value, causing this assumption to break program correctness.
Now during the bottom up traversal, while performing the dataflow for a
block B, we (after visiting all instructions), visit B's predecessors to
see if any of them have a terminator that is a use or decrement. We then
take the most conservative result among all of the terminators and
advance the sequence accordingly.
I do not think that we can have multiple such predecessors today since all
interesting terminators can not have any critical edges to successors. Thus if
our block is a successor of any such block, it can not have any other
predecessors. This is mainly for future proofing if we decide that this is able
to be done in the future.

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.
