Target Independent Opportunities:

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

Dead argument elimination should be enhanced to handle cases when an argument is
dead to an externally visible function.  Though the argument can't be removed
from the externally visible function, the caller doesn't need to pass it in.
For example in this testcase:

  void foo(int X) __attribute__((noinline));
  void foo(int X) { sideeffect(); }
  void bar(int A) { foo(A+1); }

We compile bar to:

define void @bar(i32 %A) nounwind ssp {
  %0 = add nsw i32 %A, 1                          ; <i32> [#uses=1]
  tail call void @foo(i32 %0) nounwind noinline ssp
  ret void
}

The add is dead, we could pass in 'i32 undef' instead.  This occurs for C++
templates etc, which usually have linkonce_odr/weak_odr linkage, not internal
linkage.

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

With the recent changes to make the implicit def/use set explicit in
machineinstrs, we should change the target descriptions for 'call' instructions
so that the .td files don't list all the call-clobbered registers as implicit
defs.  Instead, these should be added by the code generator (e.g. on the dag).

This has a number of uses:

1. PPC32/64 and X86 32/64 can avoid having multiple copies of call instructions
   for their different impdef sets.
2. Targets with multiple calling convs (e.g. x86) which have different clobber
   sets don't need copies of call instructions.
3. 'Interprocedural register allocation' can be done to reduce the clobber sets
   of calls.

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

Make the PPC branch selector target independant

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

Get the C front-end to expand hypot(x,y) -> llvm.sqrt(x*x+y*y) when errno and
precision don't matter (ffastmath).  Misc/mandel will like this. :)  This isn't
safe in general, even on darwin.  See the libm implementation of hypot for
examples (which special case when x/y are exactly zero to get signed zeros etc
right).

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

Solve this DAG isel folding deficiency:

int X, Y;

void fn1(void)
{
  X = X | (Y << 3);
}

compiles to

fn1:
	movl Y, %eax
	shll $3, %eax
	orl X, %eax
	movl %eax, X
	ret

The problem is the store's chain operand is not the load X but rather
a TokenFactor of the load X and load Y, which prevents the folding.

There are two ways to fix this:

1. The dag combiner can start using alias analysis to realize that y/x
   don't alias, making the store to X not dependent on the load from Y.
2. The generated isel could be made smarter in the case it can't
   disambiguate the pointers.

Number 1 is the preferred solution.

This has been "fixed" by a TableGen hack. But that is a short term workaround
which will be removed once the proper fix is made.

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

On targets with expensive 64-bit multiply, we could LSR this:

for (i = ...; ++i) {
   x = 1ULL << i;

into:
 long long tmp = 1;
 for (i = ...; ++i, tmp+=tmp)
   x = tmp;

This would be a win on ppc32, but not x86 or ppc64.

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

Shrink: (setlt (loadi32 P), 0) -> (setlt (loadi8 Phi), 0)

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

Reassociate should turn things like:

int factorial(int X) {
 return X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X;
}

into llvm.powi calls, allowing the code generator to produce balanced
multiplication trees.

First, the intrinsic needs to be extended to support integers, and second the
code generator needs to be enhanced to lower these to multiplication trees.

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

Interesting? testcase for add/shift/mul reassoc:

int bar(int x, int y) {
  return x*x*x+y+x*x*x*x*x*y*y*y*y;
}
int foo(int z, int n) {
  return bar(z, n) + bar(2*z, 2*n);
}

This is blocked on not handling X*X*X -> powi(X, 3) (see note above).  The issue
is that we end up getting t = 2*X  s = t*t   and don't turn this into 4*X*X,
which is the same number of multiplies and is canonical, because the 2*X has
multiple uses.  Here's a simple example:

define i32 @test15(i32 %X1) {
  %B = mul i32 %X1, 47   ; X1*47
  %C = mul i32 %B, %B
  ret i32 %C
}


//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

Reassociate should handle the example in GCC PR16157:

extern int a0, a1, a2, a3, a4; extern int b0, b1, b2, b3, b4; 
void f () {  /* this can be optimized to four additions... */ 
        b4 = a4 + a3 + a2 + a1 + a0; 
        b3 = a3 + a2 + a1 + a0; 
        b2 = a2 + a1 + a0; 
        b1 = a1 + a0; 
} 

This requires reassociating to forms of expressions that are already available,
something that reassoc doesn't think about yet.

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

These two functions should generate the same code on big-endian systems:

int g(int *j,int *l)  {  return memcmp(j,l,4);  }
int h(int *j, int *l) {  return *j - *l; }

this could be done in SelectionDAGISel.cpp, along with other special cases,
for 1,2,4,8 bytes.

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

It would be nice to revert this patch:
http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/llvm-commits/Week-of-Mon-20060213/031986.html

And teach the dag combiner enough to simplify the code expanded before 
legalize.  It seems plausible that this knowledge would let it simplify other
stuff too.

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

For vector types, TargetData.cpp::getTypeInfo() returns alignment that is equal
to the type size. It works but can be overly conservative as the alignment of
specific vector types are target dependent.

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

We should produce an unaligned load from code like this:

v4sf example(float *P) {
  return (v4sf){P[0], P[1], P[2], P[3] };
}

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

Add support for conditional increments, and other related patterns.  Instead
of:

	movl 136(%esp), %eax
	cmpl $0, %eax
	je LBB16_2	#cond_next
LBB16_1:	#cond_true
	incl _foo
LBB16_2:	#cond_next

emit:
	movl	_foo, %eax
	cmpl	$1, %edi
	sbbl	$-1, %eax
	movl	%eax, _foo

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

Combine: a = sin(x), b = cos(x) into a,b = sincos(x).

Expand these to calls of sin/cos and stores:
      double sincos(double x, double *sin, double *cos);
      float sincosf(float x, float *sin, float *cos);
      long double sincosl(long double x, long double *sin, long double *cos);

Doing so could allow SROA of the destination pointers.  See also:
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17687

This is now easily doable with MRVs.  We could even make an intrinsic for this
if anyone cared enough about sincos.

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

Turn this into a single byte store with no load (the other 3 bytes are
unmodified):

define void @test(i32* %P) {
	%tmp = load i32* %P
        %tmp14 = or i32 %tmp, 3305111552
        %tmp15 = and i32 %tmp14, 3321888767
        store i32 %tmp15, i32* %P
        ret void
}

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

dag/inst combine "clz(x)>>5 -> x==0" for 32-bit x.

Compile:

int bar(int x)
{
  int t = __builtin_clz(x);
  return -(t>>5);
}

to:

_bar:   addic r3,r3,-1
        subfe r3,r3,r3
        blr

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

quantum_sigma_x in 462.libquantum contains the following loop:

      for(i=0; i<reg->size; i++)
	{
	  /* Flip the target bit of each basis state */
	  reg->node[i].state ^= ((MAX_UNSIGNED) 1 << target);
	} 

Where MAX_UNSIGNED/state is a 64-bit int.  On a 32-bit platform it would be just
so cool to turn it into something like:

   long long Res = ((MAX_UNSIGNED) 1 << target);
   if (target < 32) {
     for(i=0; i<reg->size; i++)
       reg->node[i].state ^= Res & 0xFFFFFFFFULL;
   } else {
     for(i=0; i<reg->size; i++)
       reg->node[i].state ^= Res & 0xFFFFFFFF00000000ULL
   }
   
... which would only do one 32-bit XOR per loop iteration instead of two.

It would also be nice to recognize the reg->size doesn't alias reg->node[i], but
this requires TBAA.

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

This isn't recognized as bswap by instcombine (yes, it really is bswap):

unsigned long reverse(unsigned v) {
    unsigned t;
    t = v ^ ((v << 16) | (v >> 16));
    t &= ~0xff0000;
    v = (v << 24) | (v >> 8);
    return v ^ (t >> 8);
}

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

These idioms should be recognized as popcount (see PR1488):

unsigned countbits_slow(unsigned v) {
  unsigned c;
  for (c = 0; v; v >>= 1)
    c += v & 1;
  return c;
}
unsigned countbits_fast(unsigned v){
  unsigned c;
  for (c = 0; v; c++)
    v &= v - 1; // clear the least significant bit set
  return c;
}

BITBOARD = unsigned long long
int PopCnt(register BITBOARD a) {
  register int c=0;
  while(a) {
    c++;
    a &= a - 1;
  }
  return c;
}
unsigned int popcount(unsigned int input) {
  unsigned int count = 0;
  for (unsigned int i =  0; i < 4 * 8; i++)
    count += (input >> i) & i;
  return count;
}

This is a form of idiom recognition for loops, the same thing that could be
useful for recognizing memset/memcpy.

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

These should turn into single 16-bit (unaligned?) loads on little/big endian
processors.

unsigned short read_16_le(const unsigned char *adr) {
  return adr[0] | (adr[1] << 8);
}
unsigned short read_16_be(const unsigned char *adr) {
  return (adr[0] << 8) | adr[1];
}

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

-instcombine should handle this transform:
   icmp pred (sdiv X / C1 ), C2
when X, C1, and C2 are unsigned.  Similarly for udiv and signed operands. 

Currently InstCombine avoids this transform but will do it when the signs of
the operands and the sign of the divide match. See the FIXME in 
InstructionCombining.cpp in the visitSetCondInst method after the switch case 
for Instruction::UDiv (around line 4447) for more details.

The SingleSource/Benchmarks/Shootout-C++/hash and hash2 tests have examples of
this construct. 

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

viterbi speeds up *significantly* if the various "history" related copy loops
are turned into memcpy calls at the source level.  We need a "loops to memcpy"
pass.

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

Consider:

typedef unsigned U32;
typedef unsigned long long U64;
int test (U32 *inst, U64 *regs) {
    U64 effective_addr2;
    U32 temp = *inst;
    int r1 = (temp >> 20) & 0xf;
    int b2 = (temp >> 16) & 0xf;
    effective_addr2 = temp & 0xfff;
    if (b2) effective_addr2 += regs[b2];
    b2 = (temp >> 12) & 0xf;
    if (b2) effective_addr2 += regs[b2];
    effective_addr2 &= regs[4];
     if ((effective_addr2 & 3) == 0)
        return 1;
    return 0;
}

Note that only the low 2 bits of effective_addr2 are used.  On 32-bit systems,
we don't eliminate the computation of the top half of effective_addr2 because
we don't have whole-function selection dags.  On x86, this means we use one
extra register for the function when effective_addr2 is declared as U64 than
when it is declared U32.

PHI Slicing could be extended to do this.

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

LSR should know what GPR types a target has from TargetData.  This code:

volatile short X, Y; // globals

void foo(int N) {
  int i;
  for (i = 0; i < N; i++) { X = i; Y = i*4; }
}

produces two near identical IV's (after promotion) on PPC/ARM:

LBB1_2:
	ldr r3, LCPI1_0
	ldr r3, [r3]
	strh r2, [r3]
	ldr r3, LCPI1_1
	ldr r3, [r3]
	strh r1, [r3]
	add r1, r1, #4
	add r2, r2, #1   <- [0,+,1]
	sub r0, r0, #1   <- [0,-,1]
	cmp r0, #0
	bne LBB1_2

LSR should reuse the "+" IV for the exit test.

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

Tail call elim should be more aggressive, checking to see if the call is
followed by an uncond branch to an exit block.

; This testcase is due to tail-duplication not wanting to copy the return
; instruction into the terminating blocks because there was other code
; optimized out of the function after the taildup happened.
; RUN: llvm-as < %s | opt -tailcallelim | llvm-dis | not grep call

define i32 @t4(i32 %a) {
entry:
	%tmp.1 = and i32 %a, 1		; <i32> [#uses=1]
	%tmp.2 = icmp ne i32 %tmp.1, 0		; <i1> [#uses=1]
	br i1 %tmp.2, label %then.0, label %else.0

then.0:		; preds = %entry
	%tmp.5 = add i32 %a, -1		; <i32> [#uses=1]
	%tmp.3 = call i32 @t4( i32 %tmp.5 )		; <i32> [#uses=1]
	br label %return

	%tmp.7 = icmp ne i32 %a, 0		; <i1> [#uses=1]

	br label %return

return:		; preds = %then.1, %else.0, %then.0
	%result.0 = phi i32 [ 0, %else.0 ], [ %tmp.3, %then.0 ],
                            [ %tmp.9, %then.1 ]
	ret i32 %result.0
}

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

Tail recursion elimination should handle:

int pow2m1(int n) {
 if (n == 0)
   return 0;
 return 2 * pow2m1 (n - 1) + 1;
}

Also, multiplies can be turned into SHL's, so they should be handled as if
they were associative.  "return foo() << 1" can be tail recursion eliminated.

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

Argument promotion should promote arguments for recursive functions, like 
this:

; RUN: llvm-as < %s | opt -argpromotion | llvm-dis | grep x.val

define internal i32 @foo(i32* %x) {
entry:
	%tmp = load i32* %x		; <i32> [#uses=0]
	%tmp.foo = call i32 @foo( i32* %x )		; <i32> [#uses=1]
	ret i32 %tmp.foo
}

define i32 @bar(i32* %x) {
entry:
	%tmp3 = call i32 @foo( i32* %x )		; <i32> [#uses=1]
	ret i32 %tmp3
}

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

We should investigate an instruction sinking pass.  Consider this silly
example in pic mode:

#include <assert.h>
void foo(int x) {
  assert(x);
  //...
}

we compile this to:
_foo:
	subl	$28, %esp
	call	"L1$pb"
"L1$pb":
	popl	%eax
	cmpl	$0, 32(%esp)
	je	LBB1_2	# cond_true
LBB1_1:	# return
	# ...
	addl	$28, %esp
	ret
LBB1_2:	# cond_true
...

The PIC base computation (call+popl) is only used on one path through the 
code, but is currently always computed in the entry block.  It would be 
better to sink the picbase computation down into the block for the 
assertion, as it is the only one that uses it.  This happens for a lot of 
code with early outs.

Another example is loads of arguments, which are usually emitted into the 
entry block on targets like x86.  If not used in all paths through a 
function, they should be sunk into the ones that do.

In this case, whole-function-isel would also handle this.

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

Investigate lowering of sparse switch statements into perfect hash tables:
http://burtleburtle.net/bob/hash/perfect.html

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

We should turn things like "load+fabs+store" and "load+fneg+store" into the
corresponding integer operations.  On a yonah, this loop:

double a[256];
void foo() {
  int i, b;
  for (b = 0; b < 10000000; b++)
  for (i = 0; i < 256; i++)
    a[i] = -a[i];
}

is twice as slow as this loop:

long long a[256];
void foo() {
  int i, b;
  for (b = 0; b < 10000000; b++)
  for (i = 0; i < 256; i++)
    a[i] ^= (1ULL << 63);
}

and I suspect other processors are similar.  On X86 in particular this is a
big win because doing this with integers allows the use of read/modify/write
instructions.

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

DAG Combiner should try to combine small loads into larger loads when 
profitable.  For example, we compile this C++ example:

struct THotKey { short Key; bool Control; bool Shift; bool Alt; };
extern THotKey m_HotKey;
THotKey GetHotKey () { return m_HotKey; }

into (-O3 -fno-exceptions -static -fomit-frame-pointer):

__Z9GetHotKeyv:
	pushl	%esi
	movl	8(%esp), %eax
	movb	_m_HotKey+3, %cl
	movb	_m_HotKey+4, %dl
	movb	_m_HotKey+2, %ch
	movw	_m_HotKey, %si
	movw	%si, (%eax)
	movb	%ch, 2(%eax)
	movb	%cl, 3(%eax)
	movb	%dl, 4(%eax)
	popl	%esi
	ret	$4

GCC produces:

__Z9GetHotKeyv:
	movl	_m_HotKey, %edx
	movl	4(%esp), %eax
	movl	%edx, (%eax)
	movzwl	_m_HotKey+4, %edx
	movw	%dx, 4(%eax)
	ret	$4

The LLVM IR contains the needed alignment info, so we should be able to 
merge the loads and stores into 4-byte loads:

	%struct.THotKey = type { i16, i8, i8, i8 }
define void @_Z9GetHotKeyv(%struct.THotKey* sret  %agg.result) nounwind  {
...
	%tmp2 = load i16* getelementptr (@m_HotKey, i32 0, i32 0), align 8
	%tmp5 = load i8* getelementptr (@m_HotKey, i32 0, i32 1), align 2
	%tmp8 = load i8* getelementptr (@m_HotKey, i32 0, i32 2), align 1
	%tmp11 = load i8* getelementptr (@m_HotKey, i32 0, i32 3), align 2

Alternatively, we should use a small amount of base-offset alias analysis
to make it so the scheduler doesn't need to hold all the loads in regs at
once.

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

We should add an FRINT node to the DAG to model targets that have legal
implementations of ceil/floor/rint.

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

Consider:

int test() {
  long long input[8] = {1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1};
  foo(input);
}

We currently compile this into a memcpy from a global array since the 
initializer is fairly large and not memset'able.  This is good, but the memcpy
gets lowered to load/stores in the code generator.  This is also ok, except
that the codegen lowering for memcpy doesn't handle the case when the source
is a constant global.  This gives us atrocious code like this:

	call	"L1$pb"
"L1$pb":
	popl	%eax
	movl	_C.0.1444-"L1$pb"+32(%eax), %ecx
	movl	%ecx, 40(%esp)
	movl	_C.0.1444-"L1$pb"+20(%eax), %ecx
	movl	%ecx, 28(%esp)
	movl	_C.0.1444-"L1$pb"+36(%eax), %ecx
	movl	%ecx, 44(%esp)
	movl	_C.0.1444-"L1$pb"+44(%eax), %ecx
	movl	%ecx, 52(%esp)
	movl	_C.0.1444-"L1$pb"+40(%eax), %ecx
	movl	%ecx, 48(%esp)
	movl	_C.0.1444-"L1$pb"+12(%eax), %ecx
	movl	%ecx, 20(%esp)
	movl	_C.0.1444-"L1$pb"+4(%eax), %ecx
...

instead of:
	movl	$1, 16(%esp)
	movl	$0, 20(%esp)
	movl	$1, 24(%esp)
	movl	$0, 28(%esp)
	movl	$1, 32(%esp)
	movl	$0, 36(%esp)
	...

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

http://llvm.org/PR717:

The following code should compile into "ret int undef". Instead, LLVM
produces "ret int 0":

int f() {
  int x = 4;
  int y;
  if (x == 3) y = 0;
  return y;
}

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

The loop unroller should partially unroll loops (instead of peeling them)
when code growth isn't too bad and when an unroll count allows simplification
of some code within the loop.  One trivial example is:

#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
    int nRet = 17;
    int nLoop;
    for ( nLoop = 0; nLoop < 1000; nLoop++ ) {
        if ( nLoop & 1 )
            nRet += 2;
        else
            nRet -= 1;
    }
    return nRet;
}

Unrolling by 2 would eliminate the '&1' in both copies, leading to a net
reduction in code size.  The resultant code would then also be suitable for
exit value computation.

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

We miss a bunch of rotate opportunities on various targets, including ppc, x86,
etc.  On X86, we miss a bunch of 'rotate by variable' cases because the rotate
matching code in dag combine doesn't look through truncates aggressively 
enough.  Here are some testcases reduces from GCC PR17886:

unsigned long long f(unsigned long long x, int y) {
  return (x << y) | (x >> 64-y); 
} 
unsigned f2(unsigned x, int y){
  return (x << y) | (x >> 32-y); 
} 
unsigned long long f3(unsigned long long x){
  int y = 9;
  return (x << y) | (x >> 64-y); 
} 
unsigned f4(unsigned x){
  int y = 10;
  return (x << y) | (x >> 32-y); 
}
unsigned long long f5(unsigned long long x, unsigned long long y) {
  return (x << 8) | ((y >> 48) & 0xffull);
}
unsigned long long f6(unsigned long long x, unsigned long long y, int z) {
  switch(z) {
  case 1:
    return (x << 8) | ((y >> 48) & 0xffull);
  case 2:
    return (x << 16) | ((y >> 40) & 0xffffull);
  case 3:
    return (x << 24) | ((y >> 32) & 0xffffffull);
  case 4:
    return (x << 32) | ((y >> 24) & 0xffffffffull);
  default:
    return (x << 40) | ((y >> 16) & 0xffffffffffull);
  }
}

On X86-64, we only handle f2/f3/f4 right.  On x86-32, a few of these 
generate truly horrible code, instead of using shld and friends.  On
ARM, we end up with calls to L___lshrdi3/L___ashldi3 in f, which is
badness.  PPC64 misses f, f5 and f6.  CellSPU aborts in isel.

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

We do a number of simplifications in simplify libcalls to strength reduce
standard library functions, but we don't currently merge them together.  For
example, it is useful to merge memcpy(a,b,strlen(b)) -> strcpy.  This can only
be done safely if "b" isn't modified between the strlen and memcpy of course.

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

We compile this program: (from GCC PR11680)
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=4487

Into code that runs the same speed in fast/slow modes, but both modes run 2x
slower than when compile with GCC (either 4.0 or 4.2):

$ llvm-g++ perf.cpp -O3 -fno-exceptions
$ time ./a.out fast
1.821u 0.003s 0:01.82 100.0%	0+0k 0+0io 0pf+0w

$ g++ perf.cpp -O3 -fno-exceptions
$ time ./a.out fast
0.821u 0.001s 0:00.82 100.0%	0+0k 0+0io 0pf+0w

It looks like we are making the same inlining decisions, so this may be raw
codegen badness or something else (haven't investigated).

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

We miss some instcombines for stuff like this:
void bar (void);
void foo (unsigned int a) {
  /* This one is equivalent to a >= (3 << 2).  */
  if ((a >> 2) >= 3)
    bar ();
}

A few other related ones are in GCC PR14753.

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

Divisibility by constant can be simplified (according to GCC PR12849) from
being a mulhi to being a mul lo (cheaper).  Testcase:

void bar(unsigned n) {
  if (n % 3 == 0)
    true();
}

This is equivalent to the following, where 2863311531 is the multiplicative
inverse of 3, and 1431655766 is ((2^32)-1)/3+1:
void bar(unsigned n) {
  if (n * 2863311531U < 1431655766U)
    true();
}

The same transformation can work with an even modulo with the addition of a
rotate: rotate the result of the multiply to the right by the number of bits
which need to be zero for the condition to be true, and shrink the compare RHS
by the same amount.  Unless the target supports rotates, though, that
transformation probably isn't worthwhile.

The transformation can also easily be made to work with non-zero equality
comparisons: just transform, for example, "n % 3 == 1" to "(n-1) % 3 == 0".

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

Better mod/ref analysis for scanf would allow us to eliminate the vtable and a
bunch of other stuff from this example (see PR1604): 

#include <cstdio>
struct test {
    int val;
    virtual ~test() {}
};

int main() {
    test t;
    std::scanf("%d", &t.val);
    std::printf("%d\n", t.val);
}

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

These functions perform the same computation, but produce different assembly.

  %A = icmp ult i8 %x, 250
  %B = select i1 %A, i8 0, i8 1

}

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

This was noticed in the entryblock for grokdeclarator in 403.gcc:

        %tmp = icmp eq i32 %decl_context, 4          
        %decl_context_addr.0 = select i1 %tmp, i32 3, i32 %decl_context 
        %tmp1 = icmp eq i32 %decl_context_addr.0, 1 
        %decl_context_addr.1 = select i1 %tmp1, i32 0, i32 %decl_context_addr.0

tmp1 should be simplified to something like:
  (!tmp || decl_context == 1)

This allows recursive simplifications, tmp1 is used all over the place in
the function, e.g. by:

        %tmp23 = icmp eq i32 %decl_context_addr.1, 0            ; <i1> [#uses=1]
        %tmp24 = xor i1 %tmp1, true             ; <i1> [#uses=1]
        %or.cond8 = and i1 %tmp23, %tmp24               ; <i1> [#uses=1]

later.

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

[STORE SINKING]

Store sinking: This code:

void f (int n, int *cond, int *res) {
    int i;
    *res = 0;
    for (i = 0; i < n; i++)
        if (*cond)
            *res ^= 234; /* (*) */
}

On this function GVN hoists the fully redundant value of *res, but nothing
moves the store out.  This gives us this code:

bb:		; preds = %bb2, %entry
	%.rle = phi i32 [ 0, %entry ], [ %.rle6, %bb2 ]	
	%i.05 = phi i32 [ 0, %entry ], [ %indvar.next, %bb2 ]
	%1 = load i32* %cond, align 4
	%2 = icmp eq i32 %1, 0
	br i1 %2, label %bb2, label %bb1

bb1:		; preds = %bb
	%3 = xor i32 %.rle, 234	
	store i32 %3, i32* %res, align 4
	br label %bb2

bb2:		; preds = %bb, %bb1
	%.rle6 = phi i32 [ %3, %bb1 ], [ %.rle, %bb ]	
	%indvar.next = add i32 %i.05, 1	
	%exitcond = icmp eq i32 %indvar.next, %n
	br i1 %exitcond, label %return, label %bb

DSE should sink partially dead stores to get the store out of the loop.

Here's another partial dead case:
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=12395

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

Scalar PRE hoists the mul in the common block up to the else:

int test (int a, int b, int c, int g) {
  int d, e;
  if (a)
    d = b * c;
  else
    d = b - c;
  e = b * c + g;
  return d + e;
}

It would be better to do the mul once to reduce codesize above the if.
This is GCC PR38204.

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

[STORE SINKING]

GCC PR37810 is an interesting case where we should sink load/store reload
into the if block and outside the loop, so we don't reload/store it on the
non-call path.

for () {
  *P += 1;
  if ()
    call();
  else
    ...
->
tmp = *P
for () {
  tmp += 1;
  if () {
    *P = tmp;
    call();
    tmp = *P;
  } else ...
}
*P = tmp;

We now hoist the reload after the call (Transforms/GVN/lpre-call-wrap.ll), but
we don't sink the store.  We need partially dead store sinking.

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

[LOAD PRE CRIT EDGE SPLITTING]

GCC PR37166: Sinking of loads prevents SROA'ing the "g" struct on the stack
leading to excess stack traffic. This could be handled by GVN with some crazy
symbolic phi translation.  The code we get looks like (g is on the stack):

bb2:		; preds = %bb1
..
	%9 = getelementptr %struct.f* %g, i32 0, i32 0		
	store i32 %8, i32* %9, align  bel %bb3

bb3:		; preds = %bb1, %bb2, %bb
	%c_addr.0 = phi %struct.f* [ %g, %bb2 ], [ %c, %bb ], [ %c, %bb1 ]
	%b_addr.0 = phi %struct.f* [ %b, %bb2 ], [ %g, %bb ], [ %b, %bb1 ]
	%10 = getelementptr %struct.f* %c_addr.0, i32 0, i32 0
	%11 = load i32* %10, align 4

%11 is partially redundant, an in BB2 it should have the value %8.

GCC PR33344 and PR35287 are similar cases.


//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

[LOAD PRE]

There are many load PRE testcases in testsuite/gcc.dg/tree-ssa/loadpre* in the
GCC testsuite, ones we don't get yet are (checked through loadpre25):

[CRIT EDGE BREAKING]
loadpre3.c predcom-4.c

[PRE OF READONLY CALL]
loadpre5.c

[TURN SELECT INTO BRANCH]
loadpre14.c loadpre15.c 

actually a conditional increment: loadpre18.c loadpre19.c


//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

[SCALAR PRE]
There are many PRE testcases in testsuite/gcc.dg/tree-ssa/ssa-pre-*.c in the
GCC testsuite.

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

There are some interesting cases in testsuite/gcc.dg/tree-ssa/pred-comm* in the
GCC testsuite.  For example, we get the first example in predcom-1.c, but 
miss the second one:

unsigned fib[1000];
unsigned avg[1000];

__attribute__ ((noinline))
void count_averages(int n) {
  int i;
  for (i = 1; i < n; i++)
    avg[i] = (((unsigned long) fib[i - 1] + fib[i] + fib[i + 1]) / 3) & 0xffff;
}

which compiles into two loads instead of one in the loop.

predcom-2.c is the same as predcom-1.c

predcom-3.c is very similar but needs loads feeding each other instead of
store->load.


//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

Type based alias analysis:
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14705

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

A/B get pinned to the stack because we turn an if/then into a select instead
of PRE'ing the load/store.  This may be fixable in instcombine:
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=37892

struct X { int i; };
int foo (int x) {
  struct X a;
  struct X b;
  struct X *p;
  a.i = 1;
  b.i = 2;
  if (x)
    p = &a;
  else
    p = &b;
  return p->i;
}

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

Interesting missed case because of control flow flattening (should be 2 loads):
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=26629
With: llvm-gcc t2.c -S -o - -O0 -emit-llvm | llvm-as | 
             opt -mem2reg -gvn -instcombine | llvm-dis
we miss it because we need 1) CRIT EDGE 2) MULTIPLE DIFFERENT
VALS PRODUCED BY ONE BLOCK OVER DIFFERENT PATHS

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19633
We could eliminate the branch condition here, loading from null is undefined:

struct S { int w, x, y, z; };
struct T { int r; struct S s; };
void bar (struct S, int);
void foo (int a, struct T b)
{
  struct S *c = 0;
  if (a)
    c = &b.s;
  bar (*c, a);
}

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

simplifylibcalls should do several optimizations for strspn/strcspn:

strcspn(x, "") -> strlen(x)
strcspn("", x) -> 0
strspn("", x) -> 0
strspn(x, "") -> strlen(x)
strspn(x, "a") -> strchr(x, 'a')-x

strcspn(x, "a") -> inlined loop for up to 3 letters (similarly for strspn):

size_t __strcspn_c3 (__const char *__s, int __reject1, int __reject2,
                     int __reject3) {
  register size_t __result = 0;
  while (__s[__result] != '\0' && __s[__result] != __reject1 &&
         __s[__result] != __reject2 && __s[__result] != __reject3)
    ++__result;
  return __result;
}

This should turn into a switch on the character.  See PR3253 for some notes on
codegen.

456.hmmer apparently uses strcspn and strspn a lot.  471.omnetpp uses strspn.

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

"gas" uses this idiom:
  else if (strchr ("+-/*%|&^:[]()~", *intel_parser.op_string))
..
  else if (strchr ("<>", *intel_parser.op_string)

Those should be turned into a switch.

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

252.eon contains this interesting code:

        %3072 = getelementptr [100 x i8]* %tempString, i32 0, i32 0
        %3073 = call i8* @strcpy(i8* %3072, i8* %3071) nounwind
        %strlen = call i32 @strlen(i8* %3072)    ; uses = 1
        %endptr = getelementptr [100 x i8]* %tempString, i32 0, i32 %strlen
        call void @llvm.memcpy.i32(i8* %endptr, 
          i8* getelementptr ([5 x i8]* @"\01LC42", i32 0, i32 0), i32 5, i32 1)
        %3074 = call i32 @strlen(i8* %endptr) nounwind readonly 
        
This is interesting for a couple reasons.  First, in this:

        %3073 = call i8* @strcpy(i8* %3072, i8* %3071) nounwind
        %strlen = call i32 @strlen(i8* %3072)  

The strlen could be replaced with: %strlen = sub %3072, %3073, because the
strcpy call returns a pointer to the end of the string.  Based on that, the
endptr GEP just becomes equal to 3073, which eliminates a strlen call and GEP.

Second, the memcpy+strlen strlen can be replaced with:

        %3074 = call i32 @strlen([5 x i8]* @"\01LC42") nounwind readonly 

Because the destination was just copied into the specified memory buffer.  This,
in turn, can be constant folded to "4".

In other code, it contains:

        %endptr6978 = bitcast i8* %endptr69 to i32*            
        store i32 7107374, i32* %endptr6978, align 1
        %3167 = call i32 @strlen(i8* %endptr69) nounwind readonly    

Which could also be constant folded.  Whatever is producing this should probably
be fixed to leave this as a memcpy from a string.

Further, eon also has an interesting partially redundant strlen call:

bb8:            ; preds = %_ZN18eonImageCalculatorC1Ev.exit
        %682 = getelementptr i8** %argv, i32 6          ; <i8**> [#uses=2]
        %683 = load i8** %682, align 4          ; <i8*> [#uses=4]
        %684 = load i8* %683, align 1           ; <i8> [#uses=1]
        %685 = icmp eq i8 %684, 0               ; <i1> [#uses=1]
        br i1 %685, label %bb10, label %bb9

bb9:            ; preds = %bb8
        %686 = call i32 @strlen(i8* %683) nounwind readonly          
        %687 = icmp ugt i32 %686, 254           ; <i1> [#uses=1]
        br i1 %687, label %bb10, label %bb11

bb10:           ; preds = %bb9, %bb8
        %688 = call i32 @strlen(i8* %683) nounwind readonly          

This could be eliminated by doing the strlen once in bb8, saving code size and
improving perf on the bb8->9->10 path.

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

I see an interesting fully redundant call to strlen left in 186.crafty:InputMove
which looks like:
       %movetext11 = getelementptr [128 x i8]* %movetext, i32 0, i32 0 
 

bb62:           ; preds = %bb55, %bb53
        %promote.0 = phi i32 [ %169, %bb55 ], [ 0, %bb53 ]             
        %171 = call i32 @strlen(i8* %movetext11) nounwind readonly align 1
        %172 = add i32 %171, -1         ; <i32> [#uses=1]
        %173 = getelementptr [128 x i8]* %movetext, i32 0, i32 %172       

...  no stores ...
       br i1 %or.cond, label %bb65, label %bb72

bb65:           ; preds = %bb62
        store i8 0, i8* %173, align 1
        br label %bb72

bb72:           ; preds = %bb65, %bb62
        %trank.1 = phi i32 [ %176, %bb65 ], [ -1, %bb62 ]            
        %177 = call i32 @strlen(i8* %movetext11) nounwind readonly align 1

Note that on the bb62->bb72 path, that the %177 strlen call is partially
redundant with the %171 call.  At worst, we could shove the %177 strlen call
up into the bb65 block moving it out of the bb62->bb72 path.   However, note
that bb65 stores to the string, zeroing out the last byte.  This means that on
that path the value of %177 is actually just %171-1.  A sub is cheaper than a
strlen!

This pattern repeats several times, basically doing:

  A = strlen(P);
  P[A-1] = 0;
  B = strlen(P);
  where it is "obvious" that B = A-1.

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

186.crafty contains this interesting pattern:

%77 = call i8* @strstr(i8* getelementptr ([6 x i8]* @"\01LC5", i32 0, i32 0),
                       i8* %30)
%phitmp648 = icmp eq i8* %77, getelementptr ([6 x i8]* @"\01LC5", i32 0, i32 0)
br i1 %phitmp648, label %bb70, label %bb76

bb70:           ; preds = %OptionMatch.exit91, %bb69
        %78 = call i32 @strlen(i8* %30) nounwind readonly align 1               ; <i32> [#uses=1]

This is basically:
  cststr = "abcdef";
  if (strstr(cststr, P) == cststr) {
     x = strlen(P);
     ...

The strstr call would be significantly cheaper written as:

cststr = "abcdef";
if (memcmp(P, str, strlen(P)))
  x = strlen(P);

This is memcmp+strlen instead of strstr.  This also makes the strlen fully
redundant.

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

186.crafty also contains this code:

%1906 = call i32 @strlen(i8* getelementptr ([32 x i8]* @pgn_event, i32 0,i32 0))
%1907 = getelementptr [32 x i8]* @pgn_event, i32 0, i32 %1906
%1908 = call i8* @strcpy(i8* %1907, i8* %1905) nounwind align 1
%1909 = call i32 @strlen(i8* getelementptr ([32 x i8]* @pgn_event, i32 0,i32 0))
%1910 = getelementptr [32 x i8]* @pgn_event, i32 0, i32 %1909         

The last strlen is computable as 1908-@pgn_event, which means 1910=1908.

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

186.crafty has this interesting pattern with the "out.4543" variable:

call void @llvm.memcpy.i32(
        i8* getelementptr ([10 x i8]* @out.4543, i32 0, i32 0),
       i8* getelementptr ([7 x i8]* @"\01LC28700", i32 0, i32 0), i32 7, i32 1) 
%101 = call@printf(i8* ...   @out.4543, i32 0, i32 0)) nounwind 

It is basically doing:

  memcpy(globalarray, "string");
  printf(...,  globalarray);
  
Anyway, by knowing that printf just reads the memory and forward substituting
the string directly into the printf, this eliminates reads from globalarray.
Since this pattern occurs frequently in crafty (due to the "DisplayTime" and
other similar functions) there are many stores to "out".  Once all the printfs
stop using "out", all that is left is the memcpy's into it.  This should allow
globalopt to remove the "stored only" global.

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

This code:

define inreg i32 @foo(i8* inreg %p) nounwind {
  %tmp0 = load i8* %p
  %tmp1 = ashr i8 %tmp0, 5
  %tmp2 = sext i8 %tmp1 to i32
  ret i32 %tmp2
}

could be dagcombine'd to a sign-extending load with a shift.
For example, on x86 this currently gets this:

	movb	(%eax), %al
	sarb	$5, %al
	movsbl	%al, %eax

while it could get this:

	movsbl	(%eax), %eax
	sarl	$5, %eax

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

GCC PR31029:

int test(int x) { return 1-x == x; }     // --> return false
int test2(int x) { return 2-x == x; }    // --> return x == 1 ?

Always foldable for odd constants, what is the rule for even?

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

PR 3381: GEP to field of size 0 inside a struct could be turned into GEP
for next field in struct (which is at same address).

For example: store of float into { {{}}, float } could be turned into a store to
the float directly.

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

#include <math.h>
double foo(double a) {    return sin(a); }

This compiles into this on x86-64 Linux:
foo:
	subq	$8, %rsp
	call	sin
	addq	$8, %rsp
	ret
vs:

foo:
        jmp sin

The arg promotion pass should make use of nocapture to make its alias analysis
stuff much more precise.

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

The following functions should be optimized to use a select instead of a
branch (from gcc PR40072):

char char_int(int m) {if(m>7) return 0; return m;}
int int_char(char m) {if(m>7) return 0; return m;}

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

int func(int a, int b) { if (a & 0x80) b |= 0x80; else b &= ~0x80; return b; }

Generates this:

define i32 @func(i32 %a, i32 %b) nounwind readnone ssp {
entry:
  %0 = and i32 %a, 128                            ; <i32> [#uses=1]
  %1 = icmp eq i32 %0, 0                          ; <i1> [#uses=1]
  %2 = or i32 %b, 128                             ; <i32> [#uses=1]
  %3 = and i32 %b, -129                           ; <i32> [#uses=1]
  %b_addr.0 = select i1 %1, i32 %3, i32 %2        ; <i32> [#uses=1]
  ret i32 %b_addr.0
}

However, it's functionally equivalent to:

         b = (b & ~0x80) | (a & 0x80);

Which generates this:

define i32 @func(i32 %a, i32 %b) nounwind readnone ssp {
entry:
  %0 = and i32 %b, -129                           ; <i32> [#uses=1]
  %1 = and i32 %a, 128                            ; <i32> [#uses=1]
  %2 = or i32 %0, %1                              ; <i32> [#uses=1]
  ret i32 %2
}

This can be generalized for other forms:

     b = (b & ~0x80) | (a & 0x40) << 1;

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

These two functions produce different code. They shouldn't:

#include <stdint.h>
 
uint8_t p1(uint8_t b, uint8_t a) {
  b = (b & ~0xc0) | (a & 0xc0);
  return (b);
}
 
uint8_t p2(uint8_t b, uint8_t a) {
  b = (b & ~0x40) | (a & 0x40);
  b = (b & ~0x80) | (a & 0x80);
  return (b);
}

define zeroext i8 @p1(i8 zeroext %b, i8 zeroext %a) nounwind readnone ssp {
entry:
  %0 = and i8 %b, 63                              ; <i8> [#uses=1]
  %1 = and i8 %a, -64                             ; <i8> [#uses=1]
  %2 = or i8 %1, %0                               ; <i8> [#uses=1]
  ret i8 %2
}

define zeroext i8 @p2(i8 zeroext %b, i8 zeroext %a) nounwind readnone ssp {
entry:
  %0 = and i8 %b, 63                              ; <i8> [#uses=1]
  %.masked = and i8 %a, 64                        ; <i8> [#uses=1]
  %1 = and i8 %a, -128                            ; <i8> [#uses=1]
  %2 = or i8 %1, %0                               ; <i8> [#uses=1]
  %3 = or i8 %2, %.masked                         ; <i8> [#uses=1]
  ret i8 %3
}

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

IPSCCP does not currently propagate argument dependent constants through
functions where it does not not all of the callers.  This includes functions
with normal external linkage as well as templates, C99 inline functions etc.
Specifically, it does nothing to:

define i32 @test(i32 %x, i32 %y, i32 %z) nounwind {
entry:
  %0 = add nsw i32 %y, %z                         
  %1 = mul i32 %0, %x                             
  %2 = mul i32 %y, %z                             
  %3 = add nsw i32 %1, %2                         
  ret i32 %3
}

define i32 @test2() nounwind {
entry:
  %0 = call i32 @test(i32 1, i32 2, i32 4) nounwind
  ret i32 %0
}

It would be interesting extend IPSCCP to be able to handle simple cases like
this, where all of the arguments to a call are constant.  Because IPSCCP runs
before inlining, trivial templates and inline functions are not yet inlined.
The results for a function + set of constant arguments should be memoized in a
map.

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

The libcall constant folding stuff should be moved out of SimplifyLibcalls into
libanalysis' constantfolding logic.  This would allow IPSCCP to be able to
handle simple things like this:

static int foo(const char *X) { return strlen(X); }
int bar() { return foo("abcd"); }

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

InstCombine should use SimplifyDemandedBits to remove the or instruction:

define i1 @test(i8 %x, i8 %y) {
  %A = or i8 %x, 1
  %B = icmp ugt i8 %A, 3
  ret i1 %B
}

Currently instcombine calls SimplifyDemandedBits with either all bits or just
the sign bit, if the comparison is obviously a sign test. In this case, we only
need all but the bottom two bits from %A, and if we gave that mask to SDB it
would delete the or instruction for us.

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

functionattrs doesn't know much about memcpy/memset.  This function should be
marked readnone rather than readonly, since it only twiddles local memory, but
functionattrs doesn't handle memset/memcpy/memmove aggressively:

struct X { int *p; int *q; };
int foo() {
 int i = 0, j = 1;
 struct X x, y;
 int **p;
 y.p = &i;
 x.q = &j;
 p = __builtin_memcpy (&x, &y, sizeof (int *));
 return **p;
}

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

Missed instcombine transformation:
define i1 @a(i32 %x) nounwind readnone {
entry:
  %cmp = icmp eq i32 %x, 30
  %sub = add i32 %x, -30
  %cmp2 = icmp ugt i32 %sub, 9
  %or = or i1 %cmp, %cmp2
  ret i1 %or
}
This should be optimized to a single compare.  Testcase derived from gcc.

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

Missed instcombine transformation:
void b();
void a(int x) { if (((1<<x)&8)==0) b(); }

The shift should be optimized out.  Testcase derived from gcc.

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

Missed instcombine or reassociate transformation:
int a(int a, int b) { return (a==12)&(b>47)&(b<58); }

The sgt and slt should be combined into a single comparison. Testcase derived
from gcc.

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

Missed instcombine transformation:
define i32 @a(i32 %x) nounwind readnone {
entry:
  %shr = lshr i32 %x, 5                           ; <i32> [#uses=1]
  %xor = xor i32 %shr, 67108864                   ; <i32> [#uses=1]
  %sub = add i32 %xor, -67108864                  ; <i32> [#uses=1]
  ret i32 %sub
}

This function is equivalent to "ashr i32 %x, 5".  Testcase derived from gcc.

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

isSafeToLoadUnconditionally should allow a GEP of a global/alloca with constant
indicies within the bounds of the allocated object. Reduced example:

const int a[] = {3,6};
int b(int y) { int* x = y ? &a[0] : &a[1]; return *x; }

All the loads should be eliminated.  Testcase derived from gcc.
