From C11 and C++11 onwards, a forward-progress requirement has been introduced for both languages. In the case of C, loops with non-constant conditionals that do not have any observable side-effects (as defined by 6.8.5p6) can be assumed by the implementation to terminate, and in the case of C++, this assumption extends to all functions. The clang frontend will emit the `mustprogress` function attribute for C++ functions (D86233, D85393, D86841) and emit the loop metadata `llvm.loop.mustprogress` for every loop in C11 or later that has a non-constant conditional. This patch modifies LoopDeletion so that only loops with the `llvm.loop.mustprogress` metadata or loops contained in functions that are required to make progress (`mustprogress` or `willreturn`) are checked for observable side-effects. If these loops do not have an observable side-effect, then we delete them. Loops without observable side-effects that do not satisfy the above conditions will not be deleted.

//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===// // C Language Family Front-end //===----------------------------------------------------------------------===// Welcome to Clang. This is a compiler front-end for the C family of languages (C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++) which is built as part of the LLVM compiler infrastructure project. Unlike many other compiler frontends, Clang is useful for a number of things beyond just compiling code: we intend for Clang to be host to a number of different source-level tools. One example of this is the Clang Static Analyzer. If you're interested in more (including how to build Clang) it is best to read the relevant web sites. Here are some pointers: Information on Clang: http://clang.llvm.org/ Building and using Clang: http://clang.llvm.org/get_started.html Clang Static Analyzer: http://clang-analyzer.llvm.org/ Information on the LLVM project: http://llvm.org/ If you have questions or comments about Clang, a great place to discuss them is on the Clang development mailing list: http://lists.llvm.org/mailman/listinfo/cfe-dev If you find a bug in Clang, please file it in the LLVM bug tracker: http://llvm.org/bugs/
