[ScalarEvolution]Fix PR18607 resulting in long compilation time and memory usage

Summary

Hi All,
This patch fixes PR18607. Added a threshold beyond which we do not inline mul operands into SCEV.
This seems reasonable as inlining all mul operands without a threshold is resulting in exponential complexity.

Few other modifications include-

  1. In compare function for scConstant if LHS and RHS are same we need to return 0 instead of 1
  2. Remove redundant code in switch case of scMulExpr in compare function.

I'm new to this part of code. It would be great if someone and review the patch and give inputs if this approach is fine.

Thanks
Karthik Bhat

Hi All,
Do you think adding threshold is a reasonable approach to solve this problem as we do not have support for pow in SCEV?
Not having a threshold in this case seems to result in infinite loop as in PR18607.

Thanks
Karthik

Is it related to the threshold defined in this patch?
Otherwise it should be a separate patch.

Same.

512 is you threshold right? Usually I believe we use a cl::opt with a default value for such things.

A test without output is not great.
With a cl::opt threshold you should be able to have a simpler case and run it with two threshold and check how the SCEV that is printed changes

We should not be seeing this, since we unique SCEVConstant s by their content, so two equal SCEVConstant s should have been caught by the pointer equality check in the beginning of the method.

If possible, this test should directly test -analyze -scalar-evolution.

Not sure that you even need a loop -- just a sequence of multiplications should do the trick.
