Summary

Context: Patch Series #1 for outer loop vectorization support in LV
using VPlan. (RFC: http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2017-December/119523.html).

The patch introduces loop analysis (VPLoopInfo/VPLoop) for VPBlockBases.
This analysis will be necessary to perform some H-CFG transformations and
detect and introduce regions representing a loop in the H-CFG.

Could the VPlan just store a VPLoopInfo object instead of using a raw pointer?

It would have the advantage of not needing dynamic memory management and it would be clear that each VPlan owns its VPLoopInfo. Instead having setVPLoopInfo we would have something like analyze() which would compute the DT and LoopInfo.

Store an object instead is much better, definitely! Thanks!

However, I'm not too sure about the analyze() part. Some analyses will be computed at different times. Some others, such as as DT for the plain CFG, are temporal (DT becomes invalid once regions are introduced so we don't even want to store it in VPlan). Would it be acceptable to keep the analysis computation of VPLoopInfo as is, at least, for now?

Making VPLoopInfo object a member of VPlan.
