10 // When a load/store accesses the generic address space, checks whether the
11 // address is casted from a non-generic address space. If so, remove this
12 // addrspacecast because accessing non-generic address spaces is typically
13 // faster. Besides removing addrspacecasts directly used by loads/stores, this
14 // optimization also recursively traces into a GEP's pointer operand and a
15 // bitcast's source to find more eliminable addrspacecasts.
16 //
17 // For instance, the code below loads a float from an array allocated in
18 // addrspace(3).
19 //
20 //   %0 = addrspacecast [10 x float] addrspace(3)* @a to [10 x float]*
21 //   %1 = gep [10 x float]* %0, i64 0, i64 %i
22 //   %2 = bitcast float* %1 to i32*
23 //   %3 = load i32* %2 ; emits ld.u32
24 //
25 // First, function hoistAddrSpaceCastFrom reorders the addrspacecast, the GEP,
26 // and the bitcast to expose more optimization opportunities to function
27 // optimizeMemoryInst. The intermediate code looks like:
28 //
29 //   %0 = gep [10 x float] addrspace(3)* @a, i64 0, i64 %i
30 //   %1 = bitcast float addrspace(3)* %0 to i32 addrspace(3)*
31 //   %2 = addrspacecast i32 addrspace(3)* %1 to i32*
32 //   %3 = load i32* %2 ; still emits ld.u32, but will be optimized shortly
33 //
34 // Then, function optimizeMemoryInstruction detects a load from addrspacecast'ed
35 // generic pointers, and folds the load and the addrspacecast into a load from
36 // the original address space. The final code looks like:
37 //
38 //   %0 = gep [10 x float] addrspace(3)* @a, i64 0, i64 %i
39 //   %1 = bitcast float addrspace(3)* %0 to i32 addrspace(3)*
40 //   %3 = load i32 addrspace(3)* %1 ; emits ld.shared.f32
41 //
42 // This pass may remove an addrspacecast in a different BB. Therefore, we
43 // implement it as a FunctionPass.
44 //
45 // TODO:
46 // The current implementation doesn't handle PHINodes. Eliminating
47 // addrspacecasts used by PHINodes is trickier because PHINodes can introduce
48 // loops in data flow. For example,
49 //
50 //     %generic.input = addrspacecast float addrspace(3)* %input to float*
51 //   loop:
52 //     %y = phi [ %generic.input, %y2 ]
53 //     %y2 = getelementptr %y, 1
54 //     %v = load %y2
55 //     br ..., label %loop, ...
56 //
57 // Marking %y2 shared depends on marking %y shared, but %y also data-flow
58 // depends on %y2. We probably need an iterative fix-point algorithm on handle
59 // this case.
