[Polly] [PPCGCodeGeneration] Skip arrays with empty extent.

Details

Summary

Invariant load hoisted scalars, and arrays whose size we can
statically compute to be 0 do not need to be allocated as arrays.

Invariant load hoisted scalars are sent to the kernel directly as
parameters. Earlier, we used to allocate 0 bytes of memory for these.
Now, since we don't track them as arrays, this problem does not occur
anymore.

I test it this way because checking for the entire line is too long. Is there some way to split a test into multiple lines? the FileCheck page on LLVM doesn't indicate any.

The actual test would be:

@FUNC_checkPrivatization_SCOP_0_KERNEL_0(i8 addrspace(1)* %MemRef_A, i32 %tmp, i32 %tmp2, i32 %polly.access.begin.load, i32 %polly.access.end.load)

Not sure if make_filter_range makes the code cleaner or not.

I wanted to take a const ScopArrayInfo *SAI (because it's a filter), but unfortunately getExtent(ScopArrayInfo *Array) is not const, even though it could be.

@grosser - may I change it to const in a later NFC patch?

FileCheck has CHECK-SAME for checking mulitple things on the same line.

How are invariant loads to pointers turned into scalar accesses ? Do we need -polly-invariant-load-hoisting for that ?

Otherwise. this LGTM.

Rather then checking for the absence of a very specific string, I would check that allocateMemoryForDevice is called exactly X times. This is more robust, instead of array order or names change.

Just break the line with "\" at the end of the line (or make it more than 80 characters)

@singam-sanjay: Yep, all of this needs invariant load hoisting.

I suggest to just check for:

HOST-IR-NOT: polly_allocateMemoryForDevice

We do not want ANY other memory location. This is more robust than checking for specific names.

Very cool. I think this one is now good to
