This pass also implements the following extensions to the basic 12 // algorithm: 13 // 14 // 1. Trivial instructions between the call and return do not prevent the 15 // transformation from taking place, though currently the analysis cannot 16 // support moving any really useful instructions (only dead ones). 17 // 2. This pass transforms functions that are prevented from being tail 18 // recursive by an associative and commutative expression to use an 19 // accumulator variable, thus compiling the typical naive factorial or 20 // 'fib' implementation into efficient code. 21 // 3. TRE is performed if the function returns void, if the return 22 // returns the result returned by the call, or if the function returns a 23 // run-time constant on all exits from the function. It is possible, though 24 // unlikely, that the return returns something else (like constant 0), and 25 // can still be TRE'd. It can be TRE'd if ALL OTHER return instructions in 26 // the function return the exact same value. 27 // 4. If it can prove that callees do not access their caller stack frame, 28 // they are marked as eligible for tail call elimination (by the code 29 // generator). 30 // 31 // There are several improvements that could be made: 32 // 33 // 1. If the function has any alloca instructions, these instructions will be 34 // moved out of the entry block of the function, causing them to be 35 // evaluated each time through the tail recursion. Safely keeping allocas 36 // in the entry block requires analysis to proves that the tail-called 37 // function does not read or write the stack object. 38 // 2. Tail recursion is only performed if the call immediately precedes the 39 // return instruction. It's possible that there could be a jump between 40 // the call and the return. 41 // 3. There can be intervening operations between the call and the return that 42 // prevent the TRE from occurring. For example, there could be GEP's and 43 // stores to memory that will not be read or written by the call. This 44 // requires some substantial analysis (such as with DSA) to prove safe to 45 // move ahead of the call, but doing so could allow many more TREs to be 46 // performed, for example in TreeAdd/TreeAlloc from the treeadd benchmark. 47 // 4. The algorithm we use to detect if callees access their caller stack 48 // frames is very primitive. 49 // 50 //===----------------------------------------------------------------------===// 51 52 #include "llvm/Transforms/Scalar/TailRecursionElimination.h" 53 #include "llvm/ADT/STLExtras.h" 54 #include "llvm/ADT/SmallPtrSet.h" 55 #include "llvm/ADT/Statistic.h" 56 #include "llvm/Analysis/BlockFrequencyInfo.h" 57 #include "llvm/Analysis/DomTreeUpdater.h" 58 #include "llvm/Analysis/GlobalsModRef.h" 59 #include "llvm/Analysis/InstructionSimplify.h" 60 #include "llvm/Analysis/Loads.h" 61 #include "llvm/Analysis/OptimizationRemarkEmitter.h" 62 #include "llvm/Analysis/PostDominators.h" 63 #include "llvm/Analysis/TargetTransformInfo.h" 64 #include "llvm/Analysis/ValueTracking.h" 65 #include "llvm/IR/CFG.h" 66 #include "llvm/IR/Constants.h" 67 #include "llvm/IR/DataLayout.h" 68 #include "llvm/IR/DerivedTypes.h" 69 #include "llvm/IR/DiagnosticInfo.h" 70 #include "llvm/IR/Dominators.h" 71 #include "llvm/IR/Function.h" 72 #include "llvm/IR/IRBuilder.h" 73 #include "llvm/IR/InstIterator.h" 74 #include "llvm/IR/Instructions.h" 75 #include "llvm/IR/IntrinsicInst.h" 76 #include "llvm/IR/Module.h" 77 #include "llvm/InitializePasses.h" 78 #include "llvm/Pass.h" 79 #include "llvm/Support/CommandLine.h" 80 #include "llvm/Support/Debug.h" 81 #include "llvm/Support/raw_ostream.h" 82 #include "llvm/Transforms/Scalar.h" 83 #include "llvm/Transforms/Utils/BasicBlockUtils.h" 84 #include <cmath> 85 using namespace llvm; 86 87 #define DEBUG_TYPE "tailcallelim" 88 89 STATISTIC(NumEliminated, "Number of tail calls removed"); 90 STATISTIC(NumRetDuped, "Number of return duplicated"); 91 STATISTIC(NumAccumAdded, "Number of accumulators introduced"); 92 93 static cl::opt<bool> ForceDisableBFI( 94 "tre-disable-entrycount-recompute", cl::init(false), cl::Hidden, 95 cl::desc("Force disabling recomputing of function entry count, on " 96 "successful tail recursion elimination.")); 97 98 /// Scan the specified function for alloca instructions. 99 /// If it contains any dynamic allocas, returns false. 100 static bool canTRE(Function &F) { 101 // TODO: We don't do TRE if dynamic allocas are used. 102 // Dynamic allocas allocate stack space which should be 103 // deallocated before new iteration started.
