2009-01-18BasicAliasAnalysis and FunctionAttrs were bothDuncan Sands
doing very similar pointer capture analysis. Factor out the common logic. The new version is from FunctionAttrs since it does a better job than the version in BasicAliasAnalysis git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@62461 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

2009-01-05When checking if an Argument escapes, check ifDuncan Sands
the argument is marked nocapture - no need to analyze the argument if the answer is already known! git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@61753 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
2008-12-19Resubmit support for the 'nocapture' attribute.Nick Lewycky
The problematic part of this patch is that we were out of attribute bits, requiring some fancy bit hacking to make it fit (by shrinking alignment) without breaking existing users or the file format. This change will require users to rebuild llvm-gcc to match llvm. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@61239 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
2008-12-16Temporarily revert r61019, r61030, and r61040. These were breaking LLVM ReleaseBill Wendling

2008-12-15Teach basicaa to use the nocapture attribute when possible. When theChris Lattner
intrinsics are properly marked nocapture, the fixme should be addressed. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@61040 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
2008-12-10Allow basicaa to walk through geps with identical indices in Chris Lattner
parallel, allowing it to decide that P/Q must alias if A/B must alias in things like: P = gep A, 0, i, 1 Q = gep B, 0, i, 1 This allows GVN to delete 62 more instructions out of 403.gcc. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@60820 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
2008-12-09Teach BasicAA::getModRefInfo(CallSite, CallSite) someChris Lattner
tricks based on readnone/readonly functions. Teach memdep to look past readonly calls when analyzing deps for a readonly call. This allows elimination of a few more calls from 403.gcc: before: 63 gvn - Number of instructions PRE'd 153986 gvn - Number of instructions deleted 50069 gvn - Number of loads deleted after: 63 gvn - Number of instructions PRE'd 153991 gvn - Number of instructions deleted 50069 gvn - Number of loads deleted 5 calls isn't much, but this adds plumbing for the next change. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@60794 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

2008-11-24Seriously strengthen the guarantee offered by noalias on a function's returnNick Lewycky
value. It must now be as if the pointer were allocated and has not escaped to the caller. Thanks to Dan Gohman for pointing out the error in the original and helping devise this definition. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@59940 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
2008-11-24Extend the 'noalias' attribute to function return values. This is intended toNick Lewycky
indicate functions that allocate, such as operator new, or list::insert. The actual definition is slightly less strict (for now). No changes to the bitcode reader/writer, asm printer or verifier were needed. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@59934 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
2008-10-01Factorize code: remove variants of "strip offDuncan Sands
pointer bitcasts and GEP's", and centralize the logic in Value::getUnderlyingObject. The difference with stripPointerCasts is that stripPointerCasts only strips GEPs if all indices are zero, while getUnderlyingObject strips GEPs no matter what the indices are. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@56922 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

2008-06-16simplify some code by using a helper function. This really reallyChris Lattner
wants a 'nocapture' predicate. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@52304 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

2008-06-16If we are checking to see if the result of a call aliases aChris Lattner
pointer derived from a local allocation, if the local allocation never escapes, the pointers can't alias. This implements PR2436 git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@52301 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
2008-06-16Refactor basicaa's main alias function somethin' fierce. Chris Lattner
This fixes several minor bugs (such as returning noalias for comparisons between external weak functions an null) but is mostly a cleanup. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@52299 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
2008-06-02Fixes PR2395. Looking for a constant in a GEP tail (when the first GEP Wojciech Matyjewicz

2007-12-03Rather than having special rules like "intrinsics cannotDuncan Sands
throw exceptions", just mark intrinsics with the nounwind attribute. Likewise, mark intrinsics as readnone/readonly and get rid of special aliasing logic (which didn't use anything more than this anyway). git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@44544 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
2007-12-01Integrate the readonly/readnone logic more deeplyDuncan Sands
into alias analysis. This meant updating the API which now has versions of the getModRefBehavior, doesNotAccessMemory and onlyReadsMemory methods which take a callsite parameter. These should be used unless the callsite is not known, since in general they can do a better job than the versions that take a function. Also, users should no longer call the version of getModRefBehavior that takes both a function and a callsite. To reduce the chance of misuse it is now protected. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@44487 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

2007-11-27Fix PR1146: parameter attributes are longer part ofDuncan Sands
the function type, instead they belong to functions and function calls. This is an updated and slightly corrected version of Reid Spencer's original patch. The only known problem is that auto-upgrading of bitcode files doesn't seem to work properly (see test/Bitcode/AutoUpgradeIntrinsics.ll). Hopefully a bitcode guru (who might that be? :) ) will fix it. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@44359 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
