[MemorySSA] Add APIs to move memory accesses between blocks, following CFG changes.
ClosedPublic

Authored by asbirlea on Jul 3 2018, 2:07 PM.

Details

Summary

The move APIs added in this patch will be used to update MemorySSA when CFG changes merge or split blocks, by moving memory accesses accordingly in MemorySSA's internal data structures.

Thanks for the patch!

Were any instructions moved as part of the split, or did we just insert New between Old and all of its predecessors? In the latter case, I'd nitpick this to something more like "BasicBlock Old had New, an empty BasicBlock, added directly before it, making Old's only predecessor New. Move Old's Phi, if present, to New."

I'm assuming we have plans to make Where != End in future patches? (If so, that's OK; I'm just checking, since it looks like we're only passing in End right now)

Would it also be good to assert that BB doesn't currently have a Phi?

(We could get that sort of implicitly if we used insert(...).second instead of operator[] here)

lib/Analysis/MemorySSAUpdater.cpp

Prefer early exits if the code inside the if is long like this, please. (And below, at if (FirstInNew))

441

for (Instruction &I : make_range(Start->getIterator(), To->end()) {?

448

s/dyn_cast_or_null/cast/, since we're dereferencing it on the next line.

452

cast, please.

456

Is it possible to fold some of the above code into this loop without losing much in the way of clarity? It looks really similar to this loop body to me.

462

Same nit about cast.

476

Would for (BasicBlock *Succ : successors(To)) work? (and below)

496

Micro style nit:

if (MemoryPhi *Phi = ...)
  MSSA->moveTo(...)

I don't currently have a use case, so removing. I will add it again if a use case comes up.

I removed the insertion place so that simplified things. PTAL.

Address comments.

LGTM with a few comments; thanks again!

lib/Analysis/MemorySSA.cpp

assert(X) compiles to nothing in non-asserting builds, so we probably want something more like:

bool Inserted = ValueToMemoryAccess.insert({BB, What}).second;
(void)Inserted;
assert(Inserted && "Cannot ...");

(the (void)Inserted; suppresses unused variable warnings, and forgetting to put it has tripped me up more times than I can count.)

Please add a quick comment noting that moveTo might delete Accs, so we need to re-retrieve it here

Address comments and remove movePhi API. There is a use case needing something move generic that I will send in a separate patch.

Thank you for the review!
