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.

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

We should recognized various "overflow detection" idioms and translate them into
llvm.uadd.with.overflow and similar intrinsics.  Here is a multiply idiom:

unsigned int mul(unsigned int a,unsigned int b) {
 if ((unsigned long long)a*b>0xffffffff)
   exit(0);
  return a*b;
}

The legalization code for mul-with-overflow needs to be made more robust before
this can be implemented though.

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

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).

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

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.


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

This function: (derived from GCC PR19988)
double foo(double x, double y) {
  return ((x + 0.1234 * y) * (x + -0.1234 * y));
}

compiles to:
_foo:
        movapd  %xmm1, %xmm2
        mulsd   LCPI1_1(%rip), %xmm1
        mulsd   LCPI1_0(%rip), %xmm2
        addsd   %xmm0, %xmm1
        addsd   %xmm0, %xmm2
        movapd  %xmm1, %xmm0
        mulsd   %xmm2, %xmm0
        ret

Reassociate should be able to turn it into:

double foo(double x, double y) {
  return ((x + 0.1234 * y) * (x - 0.1234 * y));
}

Which allows the multiply by constant to be CSE'd, producing:

_foo:
        mulsd   LCPI1_0(%rip), %xmm1
        movapd  %xmm1, %xmm2
        addsd   %xmm0, %xmm2
        subsd   %xmm1, %xmm0
        mulsd   %xmm2, %xmm0
        ret

This doesn't need -ffast-math support at all.  This is particularly bad because
the llvm-gcc frontend is canonicalizing the later into the former, but clang
doesn't have this problem.

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

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.

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

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);
}

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

[LOOP RECOGNITION]

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 sort of thing should be added to the loop idiom pass.

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

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. 

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

[LOOP OPTIMIZATION]

SingleSource/Benchmarks/Misc/dt.c shows several interesting optimization
opportunities in its double_array_divs_variable function: it needs loop
interchange, memory promotion (which LICM already does), vectorization and
variable trip count loop unrolling (since it has a constant trip count). ICC
apparently produces this very nice code with -ffast-math:

..B1.70:                        # Preds ..B1.70 ..B1.69
       mulpd     %xmm0, %xmm1                                  #108.2
       mulpd     %xmm0, %xmm1                                  #108.2
       mulpd     %xmm0, %xmm1                                  #108.2
       mulpd     %xmm0, %xmm1                                  #108.2
       addl      $8, %edx                                      #
       cmpl      $131072, %edx                                 #108.2
       jb        ..B1.70       # Prob 99%                      #108.2

It would be better to count down to zero, but this is a lot better than what we
do.

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

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) {

        %tmp.1 = and i32 %a, 1          ; <i32> [#uses=1]
        %tmp.2 = icmp ne i32 %tmp.1, 0          ; <i1> [#uses=1]

                            [ %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 (-m64 -O3 -fno-exceptions -static -fomit-frame-pointer):

__Z9GetHotKeyv:                         ## @_Z9GetHotKeyv
        movq    _m_HotKey@GOTPCREL(%rip), %rax
        movzwl  (%rax), %ecx
        movzbl  2(%rax), %edx
        shlq    $16, %rdx
        orq     %rcx, %rdx
        movzbl  3(%rax), %ecx
        shlq    $24, %rcx
        orq     %rdx, %rcx
        movzbl  4(%rax), %eax
        shlq    $32, %rax
        orq     %rcx, %rax
        ret

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

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] = {1,0,1,0,1,0,1,0};
  foo(input);
}

Clang compiles this into:

  call void @llvm.memset.p0i8.i64(i8* %tmp, i8 0, i64 64, i32 16, i1 false)
  %0 = getelementptr [8 x i64]* %input, i64 0, i64 0
  store i64 1, i64* %0, align 16
  %1 = getelementptr [8 x i64]* %input, i64 0, i64 2
  store i64 1, i64* %1, align 16
  %2 = getelementptr [8 x i64]* %input, i64 0, i64 4
  store i64 1, i64* %2, align 16
  %3 = getelementptr [8 x i64]* %input, i64 0, i64 6
  store i64 1, i64* %3, align 16

Which gets codegen'd into:

        pxor    %xmm0, %xmm0
        movaps  %xmm0, -16(%rbp)
        movaps  %xmm0, -32(%rbp)
        movaps  %xmm0, -48(%rbp)
        movaps  %xmm0, -64(%rbp)
        movq    $1, -64(%rbp)
        movq    $1, -48(%rbp)
        movq    $1, -32(%rbp)
        movq    $1, -16(%rbp)

It would be better to have 4 movq's of 0 instead of the movaps's.

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

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 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);
  }
}

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

This (and similar related idioms):

unsigned int foo(unsigned char i) {
  return i | (i<<8) | (i<<16) | (i<<24);
} 

compiles into:

define i32 @foo(i8 zeroext %i) nounwind readnone ssp noredzone {
entry:
  %conv = zext i8 %i to i32
  %shl = shl i32 %conv, 8
  %shl5 = shl i32 %conv, 16
  %shl9 = shl i32 %conv, 24
  %or = or i32 %shl9, %conv
  %or6 = or i32 %or, %shl5
  %or10 = or i32 %or6, %shl
  ret i32 %or10
}

it would be better as:

unsigned int bar(unsigned char i) {
  unsigned int j=i | (i << 8); 
  return j | (j<<16);
}

aka:

define i32 @bar(i8 zeroext %i) nounwind readnone ssp noredzone {
entry:
  %conv = zext i8 %i to i32
  %shl = shl i32 %conv, 8
  %or = or i32 %shl, %conv
  %shl5 = shl i32 %or, 16
  %or6 = or i32 %shl5, %or
  ret i32 %or6
}

or even i*0x01010101, depending on the speed of the multiplier.  The best way to
handle this is to canonicalize it to a multiply in IR and have codegen handle
lowering multiplies to shifts on cpus where shifts are faster.

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

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.

define i8 @select(i8 %x) readnone nounwind {
  %A = icmp ult i8 %x, 250
  %B = select i1 %A, i8 0, i8 1
  ret i8 %B 
}

define i8 @addshr(i8 %x) readnone nounwind {
  %A = zext i8 %x to i9
  %B = add i9 %A, 6       ;; 256 - 250 == 6
  %C = lshr i9 %B, 8
  %D = trunc i9 %C to i8
  ret i8 %D
}

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.


//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
This simple function from 179.art:

int winner, numf2s;
struct { double y; int   reset; } *Y;

void find_match() {
   int i;
   winner = 0;
   for (i=0;i<numf2s;i++)
       if (Y[i].y > Y[winner].y)
              winner =i;
}

Compiles into (with clang TBAA):

for.body:                                         ; preds = %for.inc, %bb.nph
  %indvar = phi i64 [ 0, %bb.nph ], [ %indvar.next, %for.inc ]
  %i.01718 = phi i32 [ 0, %bb.nph ], [ %i.01719, %for.inc ]
  %tmp4 = getelementptr inbounds %struct.anon* %tmp3, i64 %indvar, i32 0
  %tmp5 = load double* %tmp4, align 8, !tbaa !4
  %idxprom7 = sext i32 %i.01718 to i64
  %tmp10 = getelementptr inbounds %struct.anon* %tmp3, i64 %idxprom7, i32 0
  %tmp11 = load double* %tmp10, align 8, !tbaa !4
  %cmp12 = fcmp ogt double %tmp5, %tmp11
  br i1 %cmp12, label %if.then, label %for.inc

if.then:                                          ; preds = %for.body
  %i.017 = trunc i64 %indvar to i32
  br label %for.inc

for.inc:                                          ; preds = %for.body, %if.then
  %i.01719 = phi i32 [ %i.01718, %for.body ], [ %i.017, %if.then ]
  %indvar.next = add i64 %indvar, 1
  %exitcond = icmp eq i64 %indvar.next, %tmp22
  br i1 %exitcond, label %for.cond.for.end_crit_edge, label %for.body


It is good that we hoisted the reloads of numf2's, and Y out of the loop and
sunk the store to winner out.

However, this is awful on several levels: the conditional truncate in the loop
(-indvars at fault? why can't we completely promote the IV to i64?).

Beyond that, we have a partially redundant load in the loop: if "winner" (aka 
%i.01718) isn't updated, we reload Y[winner].y the next time through the loop.
Similarly, the addressing that feeds it (including the sext) is redundant. In
the end we get this generated assembly:

LBB0_2:                                 ## %for.body
                                        ## =>This Inner Loop Header: Depth=1
        movsd   (%rdi), %xmm0
        movslq  %edx, %r8
        shlq    $4, %r8
        ucomisd (%rcx,%r8), %xmm0
        jbe     LBB0_4
        movl    %esi, %edx
LBB0_4:                                 ## %for.inc
        addq    $16, %rdi
        incq    %rsi
        cmpq    %rsi, %rax
        jne     LBB0_2

All things considered this isn't too bad, but we shouldn't need the movslq or
the shlq instruction, or the load folded into ucomisd every time through the
loop.

On an x86-specific topic, if the loop can't be restructure, the movl should be a
cmov.

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

[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

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

[LOAD PRE / STORE SINKING / SPEC HACK]

This is a chunk of code from 456.hmmer:

int f(int M, int *mc, int *mpp, int *tpmm, int *ip, int *tpim, int *dpp,
     int *tpdm, int xmb, int *bp, int *ms) {
 int k, sc;
 for (k = 1; k <= M; k++) {
     mc[k] = mpp[k-1]   + tpmm[k-1];
     if ((sc = ip[k-1]  + tpim[k-1]) > mc[k])  mc[k] = sc;
     if ((sc = dpp[k-1] + tpdm[k-1]) > mc[k])  mc[k] = sc;
     if ((sc = xmb  + bp[k])         > mc[k])  mc[k] = sc;
     mc[k] += ms[k];
   }
}

It is very profitable for this benchmark to turn the conditional stores to mc[k]
into a conditional move (select instr in IR) and allow the final store to do the
store.  See GCC PR27313 for more details.  Note that this is valid to xform even
with the new C++ memory model, since mc[k] is previously loaded and later
stored.

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

[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.


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

[ALIAS ANALYSIS]

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

We should do better analysis of posix_memalign.  At the least it should
no-capture its pointer argument, at best, we should know that the out-value
result doesn't point to anything (like malloc).  One example of this is in
SingleSource/Benchmarks/Misc/dt.c

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

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

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, "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:

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 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.

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

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"); }

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

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;
}

This can be seen at:
$ clang t.c -S -o - -mkernel -O0 -emit-llvm | opt -functionattrs -S


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

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 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:

  %382 = srem i32 %tmp14.i, 64                    ; [#uses=1]
  %383 = zext i32 %382 to i64                     ; [#uses=1]
  %384 = shl i64 %381, %383                       ; [#uses=1]
  %385 = icmp slt i32 %tmp14.i, 64                ; [#uses=1]

The srem can be transformed to an and because if %tmp14.i is negative, the
shift is undefined.  Testcase derived from 403.gcc.

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

This is a range comparison on a divided result (from 403.gcc):

  %1337 = sdiv i32 %1336, 8                       ; [#uses=1]
  %.off.i208 = add i32 %1336, 7                   ; [#uses=1]
  %1338 = icmp ult i32 %.off.i208, 15             ; [#uses=1]
  
We already catch this (removing the sdiv) if there isn't an add, we should
handle the 'add' as well.  This is a common idiom with it's builtin_alloca code.
C testcase:

int a(int x) { return (unsigned)(x/16+7) < 15; }

Another similar case involves truncations on 64-bit targets:

  %361 = sdiv i64 %.046, 8                        ; [#uses=1]
  %362 = trunc i64 %361 to i32                    ; [#uses=2]
...
  %367 = icmp eq i32 %362, 0                      ; [#uses=1]

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

Missed instcombine/dagcombine transformation:
define void @lshift_lt(i8 zeroext %a) nounwind {
entry:
  %conv = zext i8 %a to i32
  %shl = shl i32 %conv, 3
  %cmp = icmp ult i32 %shl, 33
  br i1 %cmp, label %if.then, label %if.end

if.then:
  tail call void @bar() nounwind
  ret void

if.end:
  ret void
}
declare void @bar() nounwind

The shift should be eliminated.  Testcase derived from gcc.

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

These compile into different code, one gets recognized as a switch and the
other doesn't due to phase ordering issues (PR6212):

int test1(int mainType, int subType) {
  if (mainType == 7)
    subType = 4;
  else if (mainType == 9)
    subType = 6;
  else if (mainType == 11)
    subType = 9;
  return subType;
}

int test2(int mainType, int subType) {
  if (mainType == 7)
    subType = 4;
  if (mainType == 9)
    subType = 6;
  if (mainType == 11)
    subType = 9;
  return subType;
}

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

The following test case (from PR6576):

define i32 @mul(i32 %a, i32 %b) nounwind readnone {
entry:
 %cond1 = icmp eq i32 %b, 0                      ; <i1> [#uses=1]
 br i1 %cond1, label %exit, label %bb.nph
bb.nph:                                           ; preds = %entry
 %tmp = mul i32 %b, %a                           ; <i32> [#uses=1]
 ret i32 %tmp
exit:                                             ; preds = %entry
 ret i32 0
}

could be reduced to:

define i32 @mul(i32 %a, i32 %b) nounwind readnone {
entry:
 %tmp = mul i32 %b, %a
 ret i32 %tmp
}

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

We should use DSE + llvm.lifetime.end to delete dead vtable pointer updates.
See GCC PR34949

Another interesting case is that something related could be used for variables
that go const after their ctor has finished.  In these cases, globalopt (which
can statically run the constructor) could mark the global const (so it gets put
in the readonly section).  A testcase would be:

#include <complex>
using namespace std;
const complex<char> should_be_in_rodata (42,-42);
complex<char> should_be_in_data (42,-42);
complex<char> should_be_in_bss;

Where we currently evaluate the ctors but the globals don't become const because
the optimizer doesn't know they "become const" after the ctor is done.  See
GCC PR4131 for more examples.

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

In this code:

long foo(long x) {
  return x > 1 ? x : 1;
}

LLVM emits a comparison with 1 instead of 0. 0 would be equivalent
and cheaper on most targets.

LLVM prefers comparisons with zero over non-zero in general, but in this
case it choses instead to keep the max operation obvious.

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

Take the following testcase on x86-64 (similar testcases exist for all targets
with addc/adde):

define void @a(i64* nocapture %s, i64* nocapture %t, i64 %a, i64 %b,
i64 %c) nounwind {
entry:
 %0 = zext i64 %a to i128                        ; <i128> [#uses=1]
 %1 = zext i64 %b to i128                        ; <i128> [#uses=1]
 %2 = add i128 %1, %0                            ; <i128> [#uses=2]

 %4 = shl i128 %3, 64                            ; <i128> [#uses=1]
 %5 = add i128 %4, %2                            ; <i128> [#uses=1]
 %6 = lshr i128 %5, 64                           ; <i128> [#uses=1]
 %7 = trunc i128 %6 to i64                       ; <i64> [#uses=1]
 store i64 %7, i64* %s, align 8
 %8 = trunc i128 %2 to i64                       ; <i64> [#uses=1]
 store i64 %8, i64* %t, align 8
 ret void
}

The generated SelectionDAG has an ADD of an ADDE, where both operands of the
ADDE are zero. Replacing one of the operands of the ADDE with the other operand
of the ADD, and replacing the ADD with the ADDE, should give the desired result.

(That said, we are doing a lot better than gcc on this testcase. :) )

Switch lowering generates less than ideal code for the following switch:
define void @a(i32 %x) nounwind {
entry:
  switch i32 %x, label %if.end [
    i32 0, label %if.then
    i32 1, label %if.then
    i32 2, label %if.then
    i32 3, label %if.then
    i32 5, label %if.then
  ]
if.then:
  tail call void @foo() nounwind
  ret void
if.end:
  ret void
}
declare void @foo()

Generated code on x86-64 (other platforms give similar results):
a:
        cmpl    $5, %edi
        ja      .LBB0_2
        movl    %edi, %eax
        movl    $47, %ecx
        btq     %rax, %rcx
        jb      .LBB0_3
.LBB0_2:
        ret
.LBB0_3:
        jmp     foo  # TAILCALL

The movl+movl+btq+jb could be simplified to a cmpl+jne.

Or, if we wanted to be really clever, we could simplify the whole thing to
something like the following, which eliminates a branch:
        xorl    $1, %edi
        cmpl    $4, %edi
        ja      .LBB0_2
        ret
.LBB0_2:
        jmp     foo  # TAILCALL
//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
Given a branch where the two target blocks are identical ("ret i32 %b" in
both), simplifycfg will simplify them away. But not so for a switch statement:

define i32 @f(i32 %a, i32 %b) nounwind readnone {
entry:
        switch i32 %a, label %bb3 [
                i32 4, label %bb
                i32 6, label %bb
        ]

bb:             ; preds = %entry, %entry
        ret i32 %b

bb3:            ; preds = %entry
        ret i32 %b
}
//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

clang -O3 fails to devirtualize this virtual inheritance case: (GCC PR45875)
Looks related to PR3100

struct c1 {};
struct c10 : c1{
  virtual void foo ();
};
struct c11 : c10, c1{
  virtual void f6 ();
};
struct c28 : virtual c11{
  void f6 ();
};
void check_c28 () {
  c28 obj;
  c11 *ptr = &obj;
  ptr->f6 ();
}

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

We compile this:

int foo(int a) { return (a & (~15)) / 16; }

Into:

define i32 @foo(i32 %a) nounwind readnone ssp {
entry:
  %and = and i32 %a, -16
  %div = sdiv i32 %and, 16
  ret i32 %div
}

but this code (X & -A)/A is X >> log2(A) when A is a power of 2, so this case
should be instcombined into just "a >> 4".

We do get this at the codegen level, so something knows about it, but 
instcombine should catch it earlier:

_foo:                                   ## @foo
## BB#0:                                ## %entry
        movl    %edi, %eax
        sarl    $4, %eax
        ret

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

This code (from GCC PR28685):

int test(int a, int b) {
  int lt = a < b;
  int eq = a == b;
  if (lt)
    return 1;
  return eq;
}

Is compiled to:

define i32 @test(i32 %a, i32 %b) nounwind readnone ssp {
entry:
  %cmp = icmp slt i32 %a, %b
  br i1 %cmp, label %return, label %if.end

if.end:                                           ; preds = %entry
  %cmp5 = icmp eq i32 %a, %b
  %conv6 = zext i1 %cmp5 to i32
  ret i32 %conv6

return:                                           ; preds = %entry
  ret i32 1
}

it could be:

define i32 @test__(i32 %a, i32 %b) nounwind readnone ssp {
entry:
  %0 = icmp sle i32 %a, %b
  %retval = zext i1 %0 to i32
  ret i32 %retval
}

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

This code can be seen in viterbi:

  %64 = call noalias i8* @malloc(i64 %62) nounwind
...
  %67 = call i64 @llvm.objectsize.i64(i8* %64, i1 false) nounwind
  %68 = call i8* @__memset_chk(i8* %64, i32 0, i64 %62, i64 %67) nounwind

llvm.objectsize.i64 should be taught about malloc/calloc, allowing it to
fold to %62.  This is a security win (overflows of malloc will get caught)
and also a performance win by exposing more memsets to the optimizer.

This occurs several times in viterbi.

Note that this would change the semantics of @llvm.objectsize which by its
current definition always folds to a constant. We also should make sure that
we remove checking in code like

  char *p = malloc(strlen(s)+1);
  __strcpy_chk(p, s, __builtin_objectsize(p, 0));

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

This code (from Benchmarks/Dhrystone/dry.c):

define i32 @Func1(i32, i32) nounwind readnone optsize ssp {
entry:
  %sext = shl i32 %0, 24
  %conv = ashr i32 %sext, 24
  %sext6 = shl i32 %1, 24
  %conv4 = ashr i32 %sext6, 24
  %cmp = icmp eq i32 %conv, %conv4
  %. = select i1 %cmp, i32 10000, i32 0
  ret i32 %.
}

Should be simplified into something like:

define i32 @Func1(i32, i32) nounwind readnone optsize ssp {
entry:
  %sext = shl i32 %0, 24
  %conv = and i32 %sext, 0xFF000000
  %sext6 = shl i32 %1, 24
  %conv4 = and i32 %sext6, 0xFF000000
  %cmp = icmp eq i32 %conv, %conv4
  %. = select i1 %cmp, i32 10000, i32 0
  ret i32 %.
}

and then to:

define i32 @Func1(i32, i32) nounwind readnone optsize ssp {
entry:
  %conv = and i32 %0, 0xFF
  %conv4 = and i32 %1, 0xFF
  %cmp = icmp eq i32 %conv, %conv4
  %. = select i1 %cmp, i32 10000, i32 0
  ret i32 %.
}
//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

clang -O3 currently compiles this code

int g(unsigned int a) {
  unsigned int c[100];
  c[10] = a;
  c[11] = a;
  unsigned int b = c[10] + c[11];
  if(b > a*2) a = 4;
  else a = 8;
  return a + 7;
}

into

define i32 @g(i32 a) nounwind readnone {
  %add = shl i32 %a, 1
  %mul = shl i32 %a, 1
  %cmp = icmp ugt i32 %add, %mul
  %a.addr.0 = select i1 %cmp, i32 11, i32 15
  ret i32 %a.addr.0
}

The icmp should fold to false. This CSE opportunity is only available
after GVN and InstCombine have run.

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

memcpyopt should turn this:

define i8* @test10(i32 %x) {
  %alloc = call noalias i8* @malloc(i32 %x) nounwind
  call void @llvm.memset.p0i8.i32(i8* %alloc, i8 0, i32 %x, i32 1, i1 false)
  ret i8* %alloc
}

into a call to calloc.  We should make sure that we analyze calloc as
aggressively as malloc though.

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

clang -O3 doesn't optimize this:

void f1(int* begin, int* end) {
  std::fill(begin, end, 0);
}

into a memset.  This is PR8942.

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

clang -O3 -fno-exceptions currently compiles this code:

  br label %_ZNSt6vectorIiSaIiEEC1EmRKiRKS0_.exit

This is just the handling the construction of the vector. Most surprising here
is the fact that all three null stores in %entry are dead, but not eliminated.
Also surprising is that %conv isn't simplified to 0 in %....exit.thread.i.i.

into almost the same as the previous note, but replace its final BB with:

  br label %for.end

First off, why (((zext %N - 1) << 2) + 4) instead of the ((sext %N) << 2) done
previously? (or better yet, re-use that one?)

Then, the really painful one is the second memset, of the same memory, to the
same value.

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

clang -O3 -fno-exceptions currently compiles this code:

struct S {
  unsigned short m1, m2;
  unsigned char m3, m4;
};

void f(int N) {
  std::vector<S> v(N);
  extern void sink(void*); sink(&v);
}

into poor code for zero-initializing 'v' when N is >0. The problem is that
S is only 6 bytes, but each element is 8 byte-aligned. We generate a loop and
4 stores on each iteration. If the struct were 8 bytes, this gets turned into
a memset.

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

clang -O3 currently compiles this code:

extern const int magic;
double f() { return 0.0 * magic; }

into

@magic = external constant i32

define double @_Z1fv() nounwind readnone {
entry:
  %tmp = load i32* @magic, align 4, !tbaa !0
  %conv = sitofp i32 %tmp to double
  %mul = fmul double %conv, 0.000000e+00
  ret double %mul
}

We should be able to fold away this fmul to 0.0.  More generally, fmul(x,0.0)
can be folded to 0.0 if we can prove that the LHS is not -0.0, not a NaN, and
not an INF.  The CannotBeNegativeZero predicate in value tracking should be
extended to support general "fpclassify" operations that can return 
yes/no/unknown for each of these predicates.

In this predicate, we know that uitofp is trivially never NaN or -0.0, and
we know that it isn't +/-Inf if the floating point type has enough exponent bits
to represent the largest integer value as < inf.

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

When optimizing a transformation that can change the sign of 0.0 (such as the
0.0*val -> 0.0 transformation above), it might be provable that the sign of the
expression doesn't matter.  For example, by the above rules, we can't transform
fmul(sitofp(x), 0.0) into 0.0, because x might be -1 and the result of the
expression is defined to be -0.0.

If we look at the uses of the fmul for example, we might be able to prove that
all uses don't care about the sign of zero.  For example, if we have:

  fadd(fmul(sitofp(x), 0.0), 2.0)

Since we know that x+2.0 doesn't care about the sign of any zeros in X, we can
transform the fmul to 0.0, and then the fadd to 2.0.

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

clang -O3 currently compiles this code:

#include <emmintrin.h>
int f(double x) { return _mm_cvtsd_si32(_mm_set_sd(x)); }
int g(double x) { return _mm_cvttsd_si32(_mm_set_sd(x)); }

into

define i32 @_Z1fd(double %x) nounwind readnone {
entry:
  %vecinit.i = insertelement <2 x double> undef, double %x, i32 0
  %vecinit1.i = insertelement <2 x double> %vecinit.i, double 0.000000e+00,i32 1
  %0 = tail call i32 @llvm.x86.sse2.cvtsd2si(<2 x double> %vecinit1.i) nounwind
  ret i32 %0
}

define i32 @_Z1gd(double %x) nounwind readnone {
entry:
  %conv.i = fptosi double %x to i32
  ret i32 %conv.i
}

This difference carries over to the assmebly produced, resulting in:

_Z1fd:                                  # @_Z1fd
# BB#0:                                 # %entry
        pushq   %rbp
        movq    %rsp, %rbp
        xorps   %xmm1, %xmm1
        movsd   %xmm0, %xmm1
        cvtsd2sil       %xmm1, %eax
        popq    %rbp
        ret

_Z1gd:                                  # @_Z1gd
# BB#0:                                 # %entry
        pushq   %rbp
        movq    %rsp, %rbp
        cvttsd2si       %xmm0, %eax
        popq    %rbp
        ret

The problem is that we can't see through the intrinsic call used for cvtsd2si,
and fold away the unnecessary manipulation of the function parameter. When
these functions are inlined, it forms a barrier preventing many further
optimizations. LLVM IR doesn't have a good way to model the logic of
'cvtsd2si', its only FP -> int conversion path forces truncation. We should add
a rounding flag onto fptosi so that it can represent this type of rounding
naturally in the IR rather than using intrinsics. We might need to use a
'system_rounding_mode' flag to encode that the semantics of the rounding mode
can be changed by the program, but ideally we could just say that isn't
supported, and hard code the rounding.
