This is technically more expensive, but in benchmarking some LTO runs,
it seems unlikely to even be above the noise floor. The only way I was
able to measure the performance of GMR at all was to run nothing else
but this one analysis on a linked clang bitcode file. The call graph
analysis still took 5x more time than GMR, and this change at most made
GMR 2% slower (this is well within the noise, so its hard for me to be
sure that this is an actual change). However, in a real LTO run over the
same bitcode, the GMR run takes so little time that the pass timers
don't measure it.
With this, I can remove the last update API from the AliasAnalysis
interface, but I'll actually remove the interface hook point in
a follow-up commit.
This doesn't compile on my FreeBSD 10.1 rig;
$ clang --version
FreeBSD clang version 3.4.1 (tags/RELEASE_34/dot1-final 208032) 20140512
Target: x86_64-unknown-freebsd10.1
Thread model: posix
Not sure which libc++ version came with this system. I've confirmed that moving the full DeletionCallbackHandle definition up in place of the forward decl resolves the problem.
The Clang version is getting old, but this is FreeBSD's latest production release, so it would be nice if it could be supported.
Thanks!
