[NFC] SimplifyCFG: Detect switch replacement earlier in `switchToLookup` (#155602) This PR is the first part to solve the issue in #149937. The end goal is enabling more switch optimizations on targets that do not support lookup tables. SimplifyCFG has the ability to replace switches with either a few simple calculations, a single value, or a lookup table. However, it only considers these options if the target supports lookup tables, even if the final result is not a LUT, but a few simple instructions like muls, adds and shifts. To enable more targets to use these other kinds of optimization, this PR restructures the code in `switchToLookup`. Previously, code was generated even before choosing what kind of replacement to do. However, we need to know if we actually want to create a true LUT or not before generating anything. Then we can check for target support only if any LUT would be created. This PR moves the code so it first determines the replacement kind and then generates the instructions. A later PR will insert the target support check after determining the kind of replacement. If the result is not a LUT, then even targets without LUT support can replace the switch with something else.
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.
