See LICENSE.TXT for details. +// +//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===// +// +// This file transforms calls of the current function (self recursion) followed +// by a return instruction with a branch to the entry of the function, creating +// a loop. This pass also implements the following extensions to the basic +// algorithm: +// +// 1. Trivial instructions between the call and return do not prevent the +// transformation from taking place, though currently the analysis cannot +// support moving any really useful instructions (only dead ones). +// 2. This pass transforms functions that are prevented from being tail +// recursive by an associative expression to use an accumulator variable, +// thus compiling the typical naive factorial or 'fib' implementation into +// efficient code. +// 3. TRE is performed if the function returns void, if the return +// returns the result returned by the call, or if the function returns a +// run-time constant on all exits from the function. It is possible, though +// unlikely, that the return returns something else (like constant 0), and +// can still be TRE'd. It can be TRE'd if ALL OTHER return instructions in +// the function return the exact same value. +// 4. If it can prove that callees do not access their caller stack frame, +// they are marked as eligible for tail call elimination (by the code +// generator). +// +// There are several improvements that could be made: +// +// 1. If the function has any alloca instructions, these instructions will be +// moved out of the entry block of the function, causing them to be +// evaluated each time through the tail recursion. Safely keeping allocas +// in the entry block requires analysis to proves that the tail-called +// function does not read or write the stack object. +// 2. Tail recursion is only performed if the call immediately preceeds the +// return instruction. It's possible that there could be a jump between +// the call and the return. +// 3. There can be intervening operations between the call and the return that +// prevent the TRE from occurring. For example, there could be GEP's and +// stores to memory that will not be read or written by the call. This +// requires some substantial analysis (such as with DSA) to prove safe to +// move ahead of the call, but doing so could allow many more TREs to be +// performed, for example in TreeAdd/TreeAlloc from the treeadd benchmark. +// 4. The algorithm we use to detect if callees access their caller stack +// frames is very primitive. +// +//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===// + +#define DEBUG_TYPE "tailcallelim" +#include "llvm/Transforms/Scalar.h" +#include "llvm/Transforms/Utils/Local.h" +#include "llvm/Constants.h" +#include "llvm/DerivedTypes.h" +#include "llvm/Function.h" +#include "llvm/Instructions.h" +#include "llvm/Pass.h" +#include "llvm/Analysis/CaptureTracking.h" +#include "llvm/Analysis/InlineCost.h" +#include "llvm/Support/CallSite.h" +#include "llvm/Support/CFG.h" +#include "llvm/ADT/Statistic.h" +using namespace llvm; + +STATISTIC(NumEliminated, "Number of tail calls removed"); +STATISTIC(NumAccumAdded, "Number of accumulators introduced"); + +namespace { + struct TailCallElim : public FunctionPass { + static char ID; // Pass identification, replacement for typeid + TailCallElim() : FunctionPass(&ID) {} + + virtual bool runOnFunction(Function &F); + + private: + bool ProcessReturningBlock(ReturnInst *RI, BasicBlock *&OldEntry, + bool &TailCallsAreMarkedTail, + SmallVector<PHINode*, 8> &ArgumentPHIs, + bool CannotTailCallElimCallsMarkedTail); + bool CanMoveAboveCall(Instruction *I, CallInst *CI); + Value *CanTransformAccumulatorRecursion(Instruction *I, CallInst *CI); + }; +} + +char TailCallElim::ID = 0; +static RegisterPass<TailCallElim> X("tailcallelim", "Tail Call Elimination"); + +// Public interface to the TailCallElimination pass +FunctionPass *llvm::createTailCallEliminationPass() { + return new TailCallElim(); +} + +/// AllocaMightEscapeToCalls - Return true if this alloca may be accessed by +/// callees of this function.
