[DebugInfo][RemoveDIs] Don't allocate one DPMarker per instruction (#79345)
This is an optimisation patch that shouldn't have any functional effect.
There's no need for all instructions to have a DPMarker attached to them,
because not all instructions have adjacent DPValues (aka dbg.values).
This patch inserts the appropriate conditionals into functions like
BasicBlock::spliceDebugInfo to ensure we don't step on a null pointer when
there isn't a DPMarker allocated. Mostly, this is a case of calling
createMarker occasionally, which will create a marker on an instruction
if there isn't one there already.
Also folded into this is the use of adoptDbgValues, which is a natural
extension: if we have a sequence of instructions and debug records:
%foo = add i32 %0,...
# dbg_value { %foo, ...
# dbg_value { %bar, ...
%baz = add i32 %...
%qux = add i32 %...
and delete, for example, the %baz instruction, then the dbg_value records
would naturally be transferred onto the %qux instruction (they "fall down"
onto it). There's no point in creating and splicing DPMarkers in the case
shown when %qux doesn't have a DPMarker already, we can instead just change
the owner of %baz's DPMarker from %baz to %qux. This also avoids calling
setParent on every DPValue.
Update LoopRotationUtils: it was relying on each instruction having it's
own distinct end(), so that we could express ranges and lack-of-ranges.
That's no longer true though: so switch to storing the range of DPValues on
the next instruction when we want to consider it's range next time around
the loop (see the nearby comment).
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.
