Define a DataFlowSolver helper that loads sensible default analyses (#143415)

Cf. https://discourse.llvm.org/t/mlir-dead-code-analysis/67568/10

Custom analysis passes will not work properly unless both
DeadCodeAnalysis and SparseConstantPropagation are loaded to the
DataFlowSolver. This is intended behavior, but surprising to many users
as shown in the thread. In lieu of a longer-term fix (which I am not
knowledgeable enough to implement myself, yet), this commit adds a
helper function that loads these two analyses, as well as providing
breadcrumbs for an explanation of the problem. The existing places in
the codebase where these two analyses are loaded for the purpose of
running other unrelated analyses are replaced by the use of the helper.

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure

OpenSSF Scorecard OpenSSF Best Practices libc++

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.

Getting the Source Code and Building LLVM

Consult the Getting Started with LLVM page for information on building and running LLVM.

For information on how to contribute to the LLVM project, please take a look at the Contributing to LLVM guide.

Getting in touch
