This revision introduces a generic implementation of Scalar Replacement
Of Aggregates. In contrast to the implementation in LLVM, this focuses
on the core of SROA: destructuring aggregates. By implementing
interfaces on allocators and accessors, memory allocators can be
destructured into smaller allocators, through the MemorySlot
abstraction.
This pass only works on aggregates that are accessed in a "type-safe"
way, that is within the bounds and respecting the type of a given memory
slot. The destructuring pattern and functions only peel off the first
layer of aggregates and can safely be applied repeatedly. For
convenience, the transformation is also available as a pass that will
apply the pattern repeatedly.
Depends on D149958
There are still at least two uses of Optional. Please search&replace with std::optional.
