static enum ssa_prop_result copy_prop_visit_assignment ( )
static

Evaluate the RHS of STMT. If it produces a valid copy, set the LHS value and store the LHS into *RESULT_P.

Straight copy between two SSA names. First, make sure that we can propagate the RHS into uses of LHS.

static enum ssa_prop_result copy_prop_visit_cond_stmt ( )
static

Visit the GIMPLE_COND STMT. Return SSA_PROP_INTERESTING if it can determine which edge will be taken. Otherwise, return SSA_PROP_VARYING.

 The only conditionals that we may be able to compute statically
 are predicates involving two SSA_NAMEs.   
     See if we can determine the predicate's value.   
     We can fold COND and get a useful result only when we have
     the same SSA_NAME on both sides of a comparison operator.

static enum ssa_prop_result copy_prop_visit_phi_node ( )
static

Visit PHI node PHI. If all the arguments produce the same value, set it to be the value of the LHS of PHI.

     We don't care about values flowing through non-executable
     edges.   
     Names that flow through abnormal edges cannot be used to
     derive copies.   
         If we didn't visit the definition of arg yet treat it as
         UNDEFINED.  This also handles PHI arguments that are the
         same as lhs.  We'll come here again.   
     Avoid copy propagation from an inner into an outer loop.
     Otherwise, this may move loop variant variables outside of
     their loops and prevent coalescing opportunities.  If the
     value was loop invariant, it will be hoisted by LICM and
     exposed for copy propagation.
     ???  The value will be always loop invariant.
     In loop-closed SSA form do not copy-propagate through
     PHI nodes in blocks with a loop exit edge predecessor.   
     If the LHS didn't have a value yet, make it a copy of the
     first argument we find.    
     If PHI_VAL and ARG don't have a common copy-of chain, then
     this PHI node cannot be a copy operation.   

References prop_value_d::value.

static enum ssa_prop_result copy_prop_visit_stmt ( )
static

Evaluate statement STMT. If the statement produces a new output value, return SSA_PROP_INTERESTING and store the SSA_NAME holding the new value in *RESULT_P.

If STMT is a conditional branch and we can determine its truth value, set *TAKEN_EDGE_P accordingly.

If the new value produced by STMT is varying, return SSA_PROP_VARYING.

     If the statement is a copy assignment, evaluate its RHS to
     see if the lattice value of its output has changed.   
     See if we can determine which edge goes out of a conditional
     jump.   
     Any other kind of statement is not interesting for constant
     propagation and, therefore, not worth simulating.   
     The assignment is not a copy operation.  Don't visit this
     statement again and mark all the definitions in the statement
     to be copies of nothing.

static void dump_copy_of ( )
static

Dump the copy-of value for variable VAR to FILE.

static unsigned int execute_copy_prop ( )
static

Main entry point to the copy propagator.

PHIS_ONLY is true if we should only consider PHI nodes as generating copy propagation opportunities.

The algorithm propagates the value COPY-OF using ssa_propagate. For every variable X_i, COPY-OF(X_i) indicates which variable is X_i created from. The following example shows how the algorithm proceeds at a high level:

     1   a_24 = x_1
     2   a_2 = PHI <a_24, x_1>
     3   a_5 = PHI <a_2>
     4   x_1 = PHI <x_298, a_5, a_2>

The end result should be that a_2, a_5, a_24 and x_1 are a copy of x_298. Propagation proceeds as follows.

Visit #1: a_24 is copy-of x_1. Value changed. Visit #2: a_2 is copy-of x_1. Value changed. Visit #3: a_5 is copy-of x_1. Value changed. Visit #4: x_1 is copy-of x_298. Value changed. Visit #1: a_24 is copy-of x_298. Value changed. Visit #2: a_2 is copy-of x_298. Value changed. Visit #3: a_5 is copy-of x_298. Value changed. Visit #4: x_1 is copy-of x_298. Stable state reached.

When visiting PHI nodes, we only consider arguments that flow through edges marked executable by the propagation engine. So, when visiting statement #2 for the first time, we will only look at the first argument (a_24) and optimistically assume that its value is the copy of a_24 (x_1).

static void fini_copy_prop ( )
static

Deallocate memory used in copy propagation and do final substitution.

 Set the final copy-of value for each variable by traversing the
 copy-of chains.   
     In theory the points-to solution of all members of the
     copy chain is their intersection.  For now we do not bother
     to compute this but only make sure we do not lose points-to
     information completely by setting the points-to solution
     of the representative to the first solution we find if
     it doesn't have one already.   
 Don't do DCE if SCEV is initialized.  It would destroy the scev cache.   
static bool gate_copy_prop ( )
static
static prop_value_t* get_copy_of_val ( )
inlinestatic

Return the copy-of value for VAR.

If the variable will never generate a useful copy relation, make it its own copy.

static tree get_value ( )
static

Callback for substitute_and_fold to get at the final copy-of values.

References copy_of, duplicate_ssa_name_ptr_info(), duplicate_ssa_name_range_info(), POINTER_TYPE_P, SSA_NAME_PTR_INFO, SSA_NAME_RANGE_INFO, and TREE_TYPE.

static void init_copy_prop ( )
static

Initialize structures used for copy propagation.

         The only statements that we care about are those that may
         generate useful copies.  We also need to mark conditional
         jumps so that their outgoing edges are added to the work
         lists of the propagator.

         Avoid copy propagation from an inner into an outer loop.
         Otherwise, this may move loop variant variables outside of
         their loops and prevent coalescing opportunities.  If the
         value was loop invariant, it will be hoisted by LICM and
         exposed for copy propagation.
         ???  This doesn't make sense.   
                  Since we are iterating over the statements in
                  BB, not the phi nodes, STMT will always be an
                  assignment.   
         Mark all the outputs of this statement as not being
         the copy of anything.   
gimple_opt_pass* make_pass_copy_prop ( )
static bool set_copy_of_val ( )
inlinestatic

Set VAL to be the copy of VAR. If that changed return true.

Set FIRST to be the first link in COPY_OF[DEST]. If that changed, return true.

static bool stmt_may_generate_copy ( )
static

Return true if this statement may generate a useful copy.

 If the statement has volatile operands, it won't generate a
 useful copy.   
 Statements with loads and/or stores will never generate a useful copy.   
 Otherwise, the only statements that generate useful copies are
 assignments whose RHS is just an SSA name that doesn't flow
 through abnormal edges.   
static tree valueize_val ( )
inlinestatic

Return the variable VAR is a copy of or VAR if VAR isn't the result of a copy.
