Replace ScalarEvolution based domain generation
ClosedPublic

Details

Summary

This patch replaces the second legacy part of the domain generation, namely
the ScalarEvolution part that was used to obtain loop bounds. Alternatively,
we iterate over the loops in the region and propagate the back edge condition
to the header blocks. Afterwards we propagate the new information once
through the whole region.

                                                                                                                                             
- This patch already identified a couple of broken unit tests we had for
  years.
- We allow more loops already and the step to multiple exit and multiple back 
  edges is minimal.
- It allows to model the overflow checks properly as we actually visit
  every block in the SCoP and know where which condition is evaluated.

Some comments to understand the test changes.

test/Isl/CodeGen/OpenMP/loop-body-references-outer-values-3.ll
12

There was an if (cols >= 2) around this loop and a Stmt_for_body(0) in the else case.
The conditional is gone in the new version.

42

There was an if (cols >= 2) around this loop and a Stmt_for_body(0) in the else case.
The conditional is gone in the new version.

test/Isl/CodeGen/OpenMP/reference-preceeding-loop.ll
17

This test was funny, p_0 is actually -p_2, hence the loop had one iteration only, namely Stmt_while_body(0)

test/Isl/CodeGen/two-scops-in-row.ll
11

Similar to the case above, Stmt_for_1(0) is always executed here but it is explicit in the new version

test/ScopInfo/isl_trip_count_01.ll
3

Here the original test case is actually broken. If you look at the code but ignore the entry node (it is not in the SCoP!) than you see that for N=0 and M=1 we would execute while_body but the domain says otherwise.

test/ScopInfo/loop_affine_bound_0.ll
67

This is redundant as it can be extracted from the rest.

test/ScopInfo/loop_affine_bound_1.ll
19

This was just to make clear that the original code did not use the entry condition but just generates the wrong domain (similar to the isl_trip_count_01.ll above).

66

Again a broken test for M=-1 and N=0.

test/ScopInfo/loop_affine_bound_2.ll
77

Again redundant.

Hi Johannes,

this looks good for me so far.

include/polly/ScopInfo.h
562

It seems you could drop some parts of TempScopInfo now, as they now become unused/dead-code.

918

argue? This verb does not seem to make sense in this context.

lib/Analysis/ScopInfo.cpp
884

bset, maybe uppercase?

884

Please comment the contents of the return value.

885

Maybe extract out a function that collects the bounded parts of an isl_set.

887

Uppercase iterators?

897

Just removing dimensions is always fishy as this is just an operation of the internal set representation, so bad things can happen. I am not yet sure why this
is needed at all, but if it indeed is maybe you wanna use projection.

901

Unnecessary line break

1720

Please clarify that this propagation is not done later in this function itself, but is expected to be done afterwards (by another funciton) after this function has finished.

Also, the name of this function is misleading. Maybe call it addLoopBoundsToHeaderDomains

1744

Why an empty line?

1768

Please use project instead of remove_dims, as this does not depend on the representation of the isl_set.

Both lnt + unit tests work, however pointer & modulo expressions are disabled

Hi Johannes,

Can you please commit this separately.

You drop the header comment here accidentally.

lib/Support/SCEVValidator.cpp
356

Interesting. I do not care so much about loop bounds/conditions, but it would be sad to loose support even in array index expressions. To my understanding, srem instructions in index expressions should not cause troubles in our domain generation algorithm, no?

Correct. Any ideas on how to allow those but forbid srem in domain related expressions?

Function extraction into separate commit?

Is dropping DEBUG()s this part of the patch?

Empty comment line/missing annotations

hence -> e.g.

1775

isl_set *&
LLVM coding standards: "Use auto if and only if it makes the code more readable or easier to maintain"
In any case, if you keep auto, you can also let it derive that it's a pointer.

lib/Support/SCEVValidator.cpp
356

Adding a boolean parameter to SCEVValidator's constructor to discriminate the two cases?

I don't get why it's not compatible for domains.

357

Don't commit out-commented source
Also, use

#if 0
#endif

for such cases

test/Isl/CodeGen/OpenMP/loop-body-references-outer-values-3.ll

nice

We could generate a condition inside the body

for (int i = 0; i < n; i+=1) {
   if (i % 3 <= 1)
     continue;
  // stmt(i)
}

for a domain s.a. { [i] : 0 <= i < n, i - floord(i,3) * 3 <= 1 }

Alternatively, map from sequential loop counter to domain index:

for (int i_seq = 0; i_seq < (n*2/3); i_seq+=1) {
   int i = i_seq / 2 * 3 + i_seq % 2;
  // stmt(i)
}

(probably some edge-case errors in this example)
