When converting a fir.alloca of an array to the LLVM dialect, we used to
multiply the allocated size by all the constant factors encoded in the
array type. This is fine when the array type is converted to the element
type for the purposes of the allocation, but if it's converted to an
array type, then we might be allocating too much space. For example, for
%2 = fir.alloca !fir.array<8x16x32xf32>, %0, %1 we would allocate
%0 * %1 * 8 * 16 * 32 x llvm.array<32 x array<16 * array<8 x f32>>>. We
really only need to allocate %0 * %1 such arrays.
This patch fixes the issue by taking note of the array type that we're
trying to allocate. It tries to match the behaviour of
LLVMTypeConverter::convertPointerLike, which returns a pointer to the
element type when the array type doesn't have a constant interior.
We consequently only multiply with the constant factors in the array
type if the array type doesn't have a constant interior.
This has the nice side effect that it gets rid of some redundant
multiplications with the constant 1 in some cases.
This does not appear to be the correct.
has a constant sized interior (the element type i32 has a constant size), but it is clearly not valid to drop the array shape arguments.
This applies to a case like
as well. In this second case, space of %3 * %4 * %5 * 5 * 6 * sizeof(f64) bytes are required to be allocated even though the type has a constant interior of 5 * 6 * sizeof(f64).
