[X86] Flatten feature dependency tree at compile-time
Needs ReviewPublic

Authored by Nathan-Huckleberry on Aug 12 2020, 11:24 AM.

Details

Summary

Using constexpr we can flatten the feature dependency tree at
compile-time so that no computation is required at run-time.

Doesn't this violate the no global constructor rule?

Oh yikes, yes it does. I tried making the map a function level static variable, but this code is apparently called by multiple threads in some cases so we run into race condition.

Should I switch to a static array and just do a linear search through the array?

Change dependency map to constexpr array to avoid global constructor

Do you have compile time numbers for this after https://reviews.llvm.org/D85807 ?

I've never seen COUNTER before. Is it supported by all the compilers we support. I couldn't find other uses in tree.

It is. I believe it's a GNU C feature. But it's heavily used in Linux.
