Previously, in the NewPM pipeline, TailCallElim recalculates the DomTree when it modifies any instruction in the Function.
For example,
CallInst *CI = dyn_cast<CallInst>(&I); ... CI->setTailCall(); Modified = true; ... if (!Modified || ...) return PreservedAnalyses::all();
After applying this patch, the DomTree only recalculates if needed (plus an extra insertEdge() + an extra deleteEdge() call).
When optimizing SQLite with -passes="default<O3>" pipeline of the newPM, the number of DomTree recalculation decreases by 6.2%, the number of nodes visited by DFS decreases by 2.9%. The time used by DomTree will decrease approximately 1%~2.5% after applying the patch.
Statistics:
Before the patch: 23010 dom-tree-stats - Number of DomTree recalculations 489264 dom-tree-stats - Number of nodes visited by DFS -- DomTree After the patch: 21581 dom-tree-stats - Number of DomTree recalculations 475088 dom-tree-stats - Number of nodes visited by DFS -- DomTree
