[Transforms] Refactor CreateControlFlowHub (#103013) CreateControlFlowHub is a method that redirects control flow edges from a set of incoming blocks to a set of outgoing blocks through a new set of "guard" blocks. This is now refactored into a separate file with one enhancement: The input to the method is now a set of branches rather than two sets of blocks. The original implementation reroutes every edge from incoming blocks to outgoing blocks. But it is possible that for some incoming block InBB, some successor S might be in the set of outgoing blocks, but that particular edge should not be rerouted. The new implementation makes this possible by allowing the user to specify the targets of each branch that need to be rerouted. This is needed when improving the implementation of FixIrreducible #101386. Current use in FixIrreducible does not demonstrate this finer control over the edges being rerouted. But in UnifyLoopExits, when only one successor of an exiting block is an exit block, this refinement now reroutes only the relevant control-flow through the edge; the non-exit successor is not rerouted. This results in fewer branches and PHI nodes in the hub.
Welcome to the LLVM project!
This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.
The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called “LLVM”. This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.
C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.
Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
Consult the Getting Started with LLVM page for information on building and running LLVM.
