ClosedPublic

Summary

Currently most tests for the loop interchange pass are in
test/Transforms/LoopInterchange/interchange.ll. This patch splits up the
large test file in smaller pieces, which makes debugging test failures
easier.

It looks like not much has been done for a while on the LoopInterchange pass. I'd like to try to improve it gradually, but not many people touched the code recently and the original author does not seem to respond to reviews (D34879 and D35210 have been hanging around a bit), so finding appropriate reviewers is hard.

I think you reviewed changes related to loop optimizations recently and I thought you might be able to point me to people suitable as reviewers for this changes or advice on how to proceed :)

One concern with breaking up the tests into separate files is that you're now invoking opt several more times. Generally, this isn't preferred, but if others agree with this direction I won't object.

Ok sure I wasn't aware of that, just let me know what people prefer. It seemed just easier for debugging to split them in separate files, but that's only a slight advantage

We don't really have a policy on this either way, I think.
I certainly don't have any strong opinions about it.

My impression is that we have an effective policy on this, but it won't help: We try to reduce the number of opt invocations, however, only so long as this supports good logical organization and maintainability. This is fine with me.

I certainly don't have any strong opinions about it.
