This file implements the well known algorithm from Lengauer and Tarjan to compute the dominators in a control flow graph. A basic block D is said to dominate another block X, when all paths from the entry node of the CFG to X go also over D. The dominance relation is a transitive reflexive relation and its minimal transitive reduction is a tree, called the dominator tree. So for each block X besides the entry block exists a block I(X), called the immediate dominator of X, which is the parent of X in the dominator tree.

The algorithm computes this dominator tree implicitly by computing for each block its immediate dominator. We use tree balancing and path compression, so it's the O(e*a(e,v)) variant, where a(e,v) is the very slowly growing functional inverse of the Ackerman function. We name our nodes with integers, beginning with 1. Zero is reserved for 'undefined' or 'end of list'. The name of each node is given by the dfs number of the corresponding basic block. Please note, that we include the artificial ENTRY_BLOCK (or EXIT_BLOCK in the post-dom case) in our lists to support multiple entry points. Its dfs number is of course 1. Type of Basic Block aka. TBB

static void calc_dfs_tree ( )
static

The main entry for calculating the DFS tree or forest. DI is our working structure and REVERSE is true, if we are interested in the reverse flow graph. In that case the result is not necessarily a tree but a forest, because there may be nodes from which the EXIT_BLOCK is unreachable.

 The first block is the ENTRY_BLOCK (or EXIT_BLOCK if REVERSE).   
     In the post-dom case we may have nodes without a path to EXIT_BLOCK.
     They are reverse-unreachable.  In the dom-case we disallow such
     nodes, but in post-dom we have to deal with them.

     There are two situations in which this occurs.  First, noreturn
     functions.  Second, infinite loops.  In the first case we need to
     pretend that there is an edge to the exit block.  In the second
     case, we wind up with a forest.  We need to process all noreturn
     blocks before we know if we've got any infinite loops.   
 This aborts e.g. when there is _no_ path from ENTRY to EXIT at all.

static void calc_dfs_tree_nonrec ( )
static

The nonrecursive variant of creating a DFS tree. DI is our working structure, BB the starting basic block for this tree and REVERSE is true, if predecessors should be visited instead of successors of a node. After this is done all nodes reachable from BB were visited, have assigned their dfs number and are linked together to form a tree.

 We call this <em>only</em> if bb is not already visited.   
 Start block (ENTRY_BLOCK_PTR for forward problem, EXIT_BLOCK for backward
 problem).   
 Ending block.   
 Initialize our border blocks, and the first edge.   
 When the stack is empty we break out of this loop.   
     This loop traverses edges e in depth first manner, and fills the
     stack.   
         Deduce from E the current and the next block (BB and BN), and the
         next edge.   
             If the next node BN is either already visited or a border
             block the current edge is useless, and simply overwritten
             with the next edge out of the current node.   
         Fill the DFS tree info calculatable _before_ recursing.   
         Save the current point in the CFG on the stack, and recurse.   
     OK.  The edge-list was exhausted, meaning normally we would
     end the recursion.  After returning from the recursive call,
     there were (may be) other statements which were run after a
     child node was completely considered by DFS.  Here is the
     point to do it in the non-recursive variant.
     E.g. The block just completed is in e->dest for forward DFS,
     the block not yet completed (the parent of the one above)
     in e->src.  This could be used e.g. for computing the number of
     descendants or the tree depth.

static void calc_idoms ( )
static

This calculates the immediate dominators (or post-dominators if REVERSE is true). DI is our working structure and should hold the DFS forest. On return the immediate dominator to node V is in di->dom[V].

 Go backwards in DFS order, to first look at the leafs.   
         If this block has a fake edge to exit, process that first.   
     Search all direct predecessors for the smallest node with a path
     to them.  That way we have the smallest node with also a path to
     us only over nodes behind us.  In effect we search for our
     semidominator.   
         Call eval() only if really needed.  If k1 is above V in DFS tree,
         then we know, that eval(k1) == k1 and key[k1] == k1.   
     Transform semidominators into dominators.   
     We don't need to cleanup next_bucket[].   
 Explicitly define the dominators.

Btw. It's not worth to unrecurse compress() as the depth is usually not greater than 5 even for huge graphs (I've not seen call depth > 4). Also performance wise compress() ranges far behind eval().

enum dom_state dom_info_state ( )

bool dominated_by_p ( )

Given a dominator tree, we can determine whether one thing dominates another in constant time by using two DFS numbers:

  1. The number for when we visit a node on the way down the tree
  2. The number for when we visit a node on the way back up the tree

You can view these as bounds for the range of dfs numbers the nodes in the subtree of the dominator tree rooted at that node will contain.

The dominator tree is always a simple acyclic tree, so there are only three possible relations two nodes in the dominator tree have to each other:

  1. Node A is above Node B (and thus, Node A dominates node B)

    A | C / \ B D

In the above case, DFS_Number_In of A will be <= DFS_Number_In of B, and DFS_Number_Out of A will be >= DFS_Number_Out of B. This is because we must hit A in the dominator tree before B on the walk down, and we will hit A after B on the walk back up

  1. Node A is below node B (and thus, node B dominates node A)

    B | A / \ C D

In the above case, DFS_Number_In of A will be >= DFS_Number_In of B, and DFS_Number_Out of A will be <= DFS_Number_Out of B.

This is because we must hit A in the dominator tree after B on the walk down, and we will hit A before B on the walk back up

  1. Node A and B are siblings (and thus, neither dominates the other)

    C | D / \ A B

In the above case, DFS_Number_In of A will always be <= DFS_Number_In of B, and DFS_Number_Out of A will always be <= DFS_Number_Out of B. This is because we will always finish the dfs walk of one of the subtrees before the other, and thus, the dfs numbers for one subtree can't intersect with the range of dfs numbers for the other subtree. If you swap A and B's position in the dominator tree, the comparison changes direction, but the point is that both comparisons will always go the same way if there is no dominance relationship.

Thus, it is sufficient to write

A_Dominates_B (node A, node B) { return DFS_Number_In(A) <= DFS_Number_In(B) && DFS_Number_Out (A) >= DFS_Number_Out(B); }

A_Dominated_by_B (node A, node B) { return DFS_Number_In(A) >= DFS_Number_In(A) && DFS_Number_Out (A) <= DFS_Number_Out(B); } Return TRUE in case BB1 is dominated by BB2.

void iterate_fix_dominators ( enum cdi_direction  dir,
vec< basic_block bbs,
bool  conservative 
)

Recompute dominance information for basic blocks in the set BBS. The function assumes that the immediate dominators of all the other blocks in CFG are correct, and that there are no unreachable blocks.

If CONSERVATIVE is true, we additionally assume that all the ancestors of a block of BBS in the current dominance tree dominate it.

 We only support updating dominators.  There are some problems with
 updating postdominators (need to add fake edges from infinite loops
 and noreturn functions), and since we do not currently use
 iterate_fix_dominators for postdominators, any attempt to handle these
 problems would be unused, untested, and almost surely buggy.  We keep
 the DIR argument for consistency with the rest of the dominator analysis
 interface.   
 The algorithm we use takes inspiration from the following papers, although
 the details are quite different from any of them:

 [1] G. Ramalingam, T. Reps, An Incremental Algorithm for Maintaining the
     Dominator Tree of a Reducible Flowgraph
 [2]  V. C. Sreedhar, G. R. Gao, Y.-F. Lee: Incremental computation of
      dominator trees
 [3]  K. D. Cooper, T. J. Harvey and K. Kennedy: A Simple, Fast Dominance
      Algorithm

 First, we use the following heuristics to decrease the size of the BBS
 set:
   a) if BB has a single predecessor, then its immediate dominator is this
      predecessor
   additionally, if CONSERVATIVE is true:
   b) if all the predecessors of BB except for one (X) are dominated by BB,
      then X is the immediate dominator of BB
   c) if the nearest common ancestor of the predecessors of BB is X and
      X -> BB is an edge in CFG, then X is the immediate dominator of BB

 Then, we need to establish the dominance relation among the basic blocks
 in BBS.  We split the dominance tree by removing the immediate dominator
 edges from BBS, creating a forest F.  We form a graph G whose vertices
 are BBS and ENTRY and X -> Y is an edge of G if there exists an edge
 X' -> Y in CFG such that X' belongs to the tree of the dominance forest
 whose root is X.  We then determine dominance tree of G.  Note that
 for X, Y in BBS, X dominates Y in CFG if and only if X dominates Y in G.
 In this step, we can use arbitrary algorithm to determine dominators.
 We decided to prefer the algorithm [3] to the algorithm of
 Lengauer and Tarjan, since the set BBS is usually small (rarely exceeding
 10 during gcc bootstrap), and [3] should perform better in this case.

 Finally, we need to determine the immediate dominators for the basic
 blocks of BBS.  If the immediate dominator of X in G is Y, then
 the immediate dominator of X in CFG belongs to the tree of F rooted in
 Y.  We process the dominator tree T of G recursively, starting from leaves.
 Suppose that X_1, X_2, ..., X_k are the sons of Y in T, and that the
 subtrees of the dominance tree of CFG rooted in X_i are already correct.
 Let G' be the subgraph of G induced by {X_1, X_2, ..., X_k}.  We make
 the following observations:
   (i) the immediate dominator of all blocks in a strongly connected
       component of G' is the same
   (ii) if X has no predecessors in G', then the immediate dominator of X
        is the nearest common ancestor of the predecessors of X in the
        subtree of F rooted in Y
 Therefore, it suffices to find the topological ordering of G', and
 process the nodes X_i in this order using the rules (i) and (ii).
 Then, we contract all the nodes X_i with Y in G, so that the further
 steps work correctly.   
     Split the tree now.  If the idoms of blocks in BBS are not
     conservatively correct, setting the dominators using the
     heuristics in prune_bbs_to_update_dominators could
     create cycles in the dominance "tree", and cause ICE.   
 Construct the graph G.   
     If the dominance tree is conservatively correct, split it now.   
         Do not include parallel edges to G.   
 Find the dominator tree of G.   
 Finally, traverse the tree and find the immediate dominators.

Use simple heuristics (see iterate_fix_dominators) to determine dominators of BBS. We assume that all the immediate dominators except for those of the blocks in BBS are correct. If CONSERVATIVE is true, we also assume that the currently recorded immediate dominators of blocks in BBS really dominate the blocks. The basic blocks for that we determine the dominator are removed from BBS.
