[AliasSetTracker] Teach AliasSetTracker about MemSetInst
ClosedPublic

Details

Summary

This change is to fix the problem discussed here.

In short, if running -licm -loop-idiom on the c-code like this

int	i, j, k;
for (i = 0; i < 1; i++) {
  for (j = 0; j < 2; j++) {
     for (k = 0; k < 10; k++) {
         a[j][k] = 42;
      }
   }
}

loop-idiom turns the store in the inner loop into a small memset in the middle loop and then the small memset into a big memset in the outer loop. But, the middle memset is already tagged by LICM as an unknown instruction in AliasSetTracker and deleting it in loop-idiom can trigger an assertion.

This patch teaches AliasSetTracker about MemSetInst. When deleting the small memset in loop-idiom, AliasSetTracker::ASTCallbackVH::deleted() can properly update the AliasSetTracker.

Looks good to me.

One comment, actually.

Is MSI->getOperand(0) right? I would think we would want to use getDest() here.

LGTM, with a small request.

Please add a FIXME comment for memcpy and memmov. Feel free to fix the issue in a later patch, if you like. Alternatively, please file a bug.

I'm not very familiar with this code but at least I've verified it to solve my original problem. Thanks!

LGTM. Feel free to commit. Thanks, Haicheng.
