//===- LICM.h - Loop Invariant Code Motion Pass -------*- C++ -*-===// // // The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure // // This file is distributed under the University of Illinois Open Source // License. See LICENSE.TXT for details. // //===----------------------------------------------------------------------===// // // This pass performs loop invariant code motion, attempting to remove as much // code from the body of a loop as possible. It does this by either hoisting // code into the preheader block, or by sinking code to the exit blocks if it is // safe. This pass also promotes must-aliased memory locations in the loop to // live in registers, thus hoisting and sinking "invariant" loads and stores. // // This pass uses alias analysis for two purposes: // // 1. Moving loop invariant loads and calls out of loops. If we can determine // that a load or call inside of a loop never aliases anything stored to, // we can hoist it or sink it like any other instruction. // 2. Scalar Promotion of Memory - If there is a store instruction inside of // the loop, we try to move the store to happen AFTER the loop instead of // inside of the loop. This can only happen if a few conditions are true: // A. The pointer stored through is loop invariant // B. There are no stores or loads in the loop which _may_ alias the // pointer. There are no calls in the loop which mod/ref the pointer. // If these conditions are true, we can promote the loads and stores in the // loop of the pointer to use a temporary alloca'd variable. We then use // the SSAUpdater to construct the appropriate SSA form for the value. // //===----------------------------------------------------------------------===// #ifndef LLVM_TRANSFORMS_SCALAR_LICM_H #define LLVM_TRANSFORMS_SCALAR_LICM_H #include "llvm/Analysis/LoopInfo.h" #include "llvm/IR/PassManager.h" namespace llvm { /// Performs Loop Invariant Code Motion Pass. class LICMPass : public PassInfoMixin { public: PreservedAnalyses run(Loop &L, AnalysisManager &AM); }; } // end namespace llvm #endif // LLVM_TRANSFORMS_SCALAR_LICM_H
