+We compile this program: (from GCC PR11680)

+
+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

+
+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();
+}
+
+I think this basically amounts to a dag combine to simplify comparisons against
+multiply hi's into a comparison against the mullo.
+
+//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
+
+SROA is not promoting the union on the stack in this example, we should end

+ %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]

+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.
+
+//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
+
+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.

+[PHI TRANSLATE GEPs]
+
+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 fully redundant, an in BB2 it should have the value %8.
+
+GCC PR33344 is a similar case.
+
+//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
+
+There are many load PRE testcases in testsuite/gcc.dg/tree-ssa/loadpre* in the
+GCC testsuite. There are many pre testcases as ssa-pre-*.c
+
+//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
+
+There are some interesting cases in testsuite/gcc.dg/tree-ssa/pred-comm* in the
+GCC testsuite. For example, predcom-1.c is:
+
+ for (i = 2; i < 1000; i++)
+ fib[i] = (fib[i-1] + fib[i - 2]) & 0xffff;
+
+which compiles into:
+
+bb1: ; preds = %bb1, %bb1.thread
+ %indvar = phi i32 [ 0, %bb1.thread ], [ %0, %bb1 ]
+ %i.0.reg2mem.0 = add i32 %indvar, 2
+ %0 = add i32 %indvar, 1 ; <i32> [#uses=3]
+ %1 = getelementptr [1000 x i32]* @fib, i32 0, i32 %0
+ %2 = load i32* %1, align 4 ; <i32> [#uses=1]
+ %3 = getelementptr [1000 x i32]* @fib, i32 0, i32 %indvar
+ %4 = load i32* %3, align 4 ; <i32> [#uses=1]
+ %5 = add i32 %4, %2 ; <i32> [#uses=1]
+ %6 = and i32 %5, 65535 ; <i32> [#uses=1]
+ %7 = getelementptr [1000 x i32]* @fib, i32 0, i32 %i.0.reg2mem.0
+ store i32 %6, i32* %7, align 4
+ %exitcond = icmp eq i32 %0, 998 ; <i1> [#uses=1]
+ br i1 %exitcond, label %return, label %bb1
+
+This is basically:
+ LOAD fib[i+1]
+ LOAD fib[i]
+ STORE fib[i+2]
+
+instead of handling this as a loop or other xform, all we'd need to do is teach
+load PRE to phi translate the %0 add (i+1) into the predecessor as (i'+1+1) =
+(i'+2) (where i' is the previous iteration of i). This would find the store
+which feeds it.
+
+predcom-2.c is apparently the same as predcom-1.c
+predcom-3.c is very similar but needs loads feeding each other instead of
+store->load.
+predcom-4.c seems the same as the rest.
+
+

+
+When GVN/PRE finds a store of float* to a must aliases pointer when expecting
+an int*, it should turn it into a bitcast. This is a nice generalization of
+the SROA hack that would apply to other cases, e.g.:
+
+int foo(int C, int *P, float X) {
+ if (C) {
+ bar();
+ *P = 42;
+ } else
+ *(float*)P = X;
+
+ return *P;
+}

+
+One example (that requires crazy phi translation) is:
+http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16799 [BITCAST PHI TRANS]
+
+//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
+
+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
+
+
+
+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) GEP PHI TRAN, 2) CRIT EDGE 3) 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;

+ c = &b.s;
+ bar (*c, a);
+}
+
+//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

+simplifylibcalls should do several optimizations for strspn/strcspn:

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

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

+
+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
