[StructurizeCFG] Hoist and simplify zero-cost incoming else phi values (#139605) The order of if and else blocks can introduce unnecessary VGPR copies. Consider the case of an if-else block where the incoming phi from the 'Else block' only contains zero-cost instructions, and the 'Then' block modifies some value. There would be no interference when coalescing because only one value is live at any point before structurization. However, in the structurized CFG, the Then value is live at 'Else' block due to the path if→flow→else, leading to additional VGPR copies. This patch addresses the issue by: - Identifying PHI nodes with zero-cost incoming values from the Else block and hoisting those values to the nearest common dominator of the Then and Else blocks. - Updating Flow PHI nodes by replacing poison entries (on the if→flow edge) with the correct hoisted values.
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.
