from those that aren't. This patch changes the way __block variables that aren't captured by escaping blocks are handled: - Since non-escaping blocks on the stack never get copied to the heap (see https://reviews.llvm.org/D49303), Sema shouldn't error out when the type of a non-escaping __block variable doesn't have an accessible copy constructor. - IRGen doesn't have to use the specialized byref structure (see https://clang.llvm.org/docs/Block-ABI-Apple.html#id8) for a non-escaping __block variable anymore. Instead IRGen can emit the variable as a normal variable and copy the reference to the block literal. Byref copy/dispose helpers aren't needed either. rdar://problem/39352313 Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D51564 llvm-svn: 341754
IRgen optimization opportunities. //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===// The common pattern of -- short x; // or char, etc (x == 10) -- generates an zext/sext of x which can easily be avoided. //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===// Bitfields accesses can be shifted to simplify masking and sign extension. For example, if the bitfield width is 8 and it is appropriately aligned then is is a lot shorter to just load the char directly. //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===// It may be worth avoiding creation of alloca's for formal arguments for the common situation where the argument is never written to or has its address taken. The idea would be to begin generating code by using the argument directly and if its address is taken or it is stored to then generate the alloca and patch up the existing code. In theory, the same optimization could be a win for block local variables as long as the declaration dominates all statements in the block. NOTE: The main case we care about this for is for -O0 -g compile time performance, and in that scenario we will need to emit the alloca anyway currently to emit proper debug info. So this is blocked by being able to emit debug information which refers to an LLVM temporary, not an alloca. //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===// We should try and avoid generating basic blocks which only contain jumps. At -O0, this penalizes us all the way from IRgen (malloc & instruction overhead), all the way down through code generation and assembly time. On 176.gcc:expr.ll, it looks like over 12% of basic blocks are just direct branches! //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
