[Reland][InstCombine] Iterative replacement in PtrReplacer (#145410) This patch enhances the PtrReplacer as follows: 1. Users are now collected iteratively to be generous on the stack. In the case of PHIs with incoming values which have not yet been visited, they are pushed back into the stack for reconsideration. 2. Replace users of the pointer root in a reverse-postorder traversal, instead of a simple traversal over the collected users. This reordering ensures that the uses of an instruction are replaced before replacing the instruction itself. 3. During the replacement of PHI, use the same incoming value if it does not have a replacement. This patch specifically fixes the case when an incoming value of a PHI is addrspacecasted. This reland PR includes a fix for an assertion failure caused by https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/137215, which was reverted. The failing test involved a phi and gep depending on each other, in which case the PtrReplacer did not order them correctly for replacement. This patch fixes it by adding a check during the definition of `PostOrderWorklist`.
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.
