9 // This pass turns chains of integer comparisons into memcmp (the memcmp is
10 // later typically inlined as a chain of efficient hardware comparisons). This
11 // typically benefits c++ member or nonmember operator==().
12 //
13 // The basic idea is to replace a longer chain of integer comparisons loaded
14 // from contiguous memory locations into a shorter chain of larger integer
15 // comparisons. Benefits are double:
16 // - There are less jumps, and therefore less opportunities for mispredictions
17 // and I-cache misses.
18 // - Code size is smaller, both because jumps are removed and because the
19 // encoding of a 2*n byte compare is smaller than that of two n-byte
20 // compares.
21 //
22 // Example:
23 //
24 // struct S {
25 // int a;
26 // char b;
27 // char c;
28 // uint16_t d;
29 // bool operator==(const S& o) const {
30 // return a == o.a && b == o.b && c == o.c && d == o.d;
31 // }
32 // };
33 //
34 // Is optimized as :
35 //
36 // bool S::operator==(const S& o) const {
37 // return memcmp(this, &o, 8) == 0;
38 // }
39 //
40 // Which will later be expanded (ExpandMemCmp) as a single 8-bytes icmp.
