19 /// In Subzero, an Instr may have multiple Ice::Operands, and each Operand can
20 /// have zero, one, or more Variables.
21 ///
22 /// We found that a common pattern in Subzero is to iterate over all the
23 /// Variables in an Instruction. This led to the following pattern being
24 /// repeated multiple times across the codebase:
25 ///
26 /// for (Operand Op : Instr.Operands())
27 ///   for (Variable Var : Op.Vars())
28 ///     do_my_thing(Var, Instr)
29 ///
30 ///
31 /// This code is straightforward, but one may take a couple of seconds to
32 /// identify what it is doing. We therefore introduce a macroized iterator for
33 /// hiding this common idiom behind a more explicit interface.
34 ///
35 /// FOREACH_VAR_IN_INST(Var, Instr) provides this interface. Its first argument
36 /// needs to be a valid C++ identifier currently undeclared in the current
37 /// scope; Instr can be any expression yielding a Ice::Inst&&. Even though its
38 /// definition is ugly, awful, painful-to-read, using it is fairly simple:
39 ///
40 /// FOREACH_VAR_IN_INST(Var, Instr)
41 ///   do_my_thing(Var, Instr)
42 ///
43 /// If your loop body contains more than one statement, you can wrap it with a
44 /// {}, just like any other C++ statement. Note that doing
45 ///
46 /// FOREACH_VAR_IN_INST(Var0, Instr0)
47 ///   FOREACH_VAR_IN_INST(Var1, Instr1)
48 ///
49 /// is perfectly safe and legal -- as long as Var0 and Var1 are different
50 /// identifiers.
51 ///
52 /// It is sometimes useful to know Var's index in Instr, which can be obtained
53 /// with
54 ///
55 /// IndexOfVarInInst(Var)
56 ///
57 /// Similarly, the current Variable's Operand index can be obtained with
58 ///
59 /// IndexOfVarOperandInInst(Var).
60 ///
61 /// And that's pretty much it. Now, if you really hate yourself, keep reading,
62 /// but beware! The iterator implementation abuses comma operators, for
63 /// statements, variable initialization and expression evaluations. You have
64 /// been warned.
65 ///
66 /// **Implementation details**
67 ///
68 /// First, let's "break" the two loops into multiple parts:
69 ///
70 /// for ( Init1; Cond1; Step1 )
71 ///   if ( CondIf )
72 ///     UnreachableThenBody
73 ///   else
74 ///     for ( Init2; Cond2; Step2 )
75 ///
76 /// The hairiest, scariest, most confusing parts here are Init2 and Cond2, so
77 /// let's save them for later.
78 ///
79 ///  1) Init1 declares five integer variables:
80 ///      * i          --> outer loop control variable;
81 ///      * Var##Index --> the current variable index
82 ///      * SrcSize    --> how many operands does Instr have?
83 ///      * j          --> the inner loop control variable
84 ///      * NumVars    --> how many variables does the current operand have?
85 ///
86 ///  2) Cond1 and Step1 are your typical for condition and step expressions.
87 ///
88 ///  3) CondIf is where the voodoo starts. We abuse CondIf to declare a local
89 ///  Operand * variable to hold the current operand being evaluated to avoid
90 ///  invoking an Instr::getOperand for each outter loop iteration -- which
91 ///  caused a small performance regression. We initialize the Operand *
92 ///  variable with nullptr, so UnreachableThenBody is trully unreachable, and
93 ///  use the else statement to declare the inner loop. We want to use an else
94 ///  here to prevent code like
95 ///
96 ///      FOREACH_VAR_IN_INST(Var, Instr) {
97 ///      } else {
98 ///      }
99 ///
100 ///  from being legal. We also want to avoid warnings about "dangling else"s.
101 ///
102 ///  4) Init2 is where the voodoo starts. It declares a Variable * local
103 ///  variable name 'Var' (i.e., whatever identifier the first parameter to
104 ///  FOREACH_VAR_IN_INST is), and initializes it with nullptr. Why nullptr?
105 ///  Because as stated above, some operands have zero Variables, and therefore
106 ///  initializing Var = CurrentOperand->Variable(0) would lead to an assertion.
107 ///  Init2 is also required to initialize the control variables used in Cond2,
108 ///  as well as the current Operand * holder,  Therefore, we use the obscure
109 ///  comma operator to initialize Var, and the control variables. The
110 ///  declaration
111 ///
112 ///      Variable *Var = (j = 0, CurrentOperand = Instr.Operand[i],
113 ///                       NumVars = CurrentOperand.NumVars, nullptr)
114 ///
115 ///  achieves that.
116 ///
117 ///  5) Cond2 is where we lose all hopes of having a self-documenting
118 ///  implementation. The stop condition for the inner loop is simply
119 ///
120 ///      j < NumVars
121 ///
122 ///  But there is one more thing we need to do before jumping to the iterator's
123 ///  body: we need to initialize Var with the current variable, but only if the
124 ///  loop has not terminated. So we implemented Cond2 in a way that it would
125 ///  make Var point to the current Variable, but only if there were more
126 ///  variables. So Cond2 became:
127 ///
128 ///      j < NumVars && (Var = CurrentOperand.Var[j])
129 ///
130 ///  which is not quite right. Cond2 would evaluate to false if
131 ///  CurrentOperand.Var[j] == nullptr. Even though that should never happen in
132 ///  Subzero, assuming this is always true is dangerous and could lead to
133 ///  problems in the future. So we abused the comma operator one more time here:
134 ///
135 ///      j < NumVars && ((Var = CurrentOperand.Var[j]), true)
136 ///
137 ///  this expression will evaluate to true if, and only if, j < NumVars.
138 ///
139 ///  6) Step2 increments the inner loop's control variable, as well as the
140 ///  current variable index.
141 ///
142 /// We use Var -- which should be a valid C++ identifier -- to uniquify names
143 /// -- e.g., i##Var instead of simply i because we want users to be able to use
144 /// the iterator for cross-products involving instructions' variables.
