<h3 class="section">15.4 Loop-closed SSA form</h3>
|
|
<a name="index-LCSSA"></a>
|
|
<a name="index-Loop_002dclosed-SSA-form"></a>
|
|
|
|
<p>Throughout the loop optimizations on tree level, one extra condition is
|
|
enforced on the SSA form: No SSA name is used outside of the loop in
|
|
that it is defined. The SSA form satisfying this condition is called
|
|
“loop-closed SSA form” – LCSSA. To enforce LCSSA, PHI nodes must be
|
|
created at the exits of the loops for the SSA names that are used
|
|
outside of them. Only the real operands (not virtual SSA names) are
|
|
held in LCSSA, in order to save memory.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>There are various benefits of LCSSA:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li> Many optimizations (value range analysis, final value
|
|
replacement) are interested in the values that are defined in the loop
|
|
and used outside of it, i.e., exactly those for that we create new PHI
|
|
nodes.
|
|
</li><li> In induction variable analysis, it is not necessary to specify the
|
|
loop in that the analysis should be performed – the scalar evolution
|
|
analysis always returns the results with respect to the loop in that the
|
|
SSA name is defined.
|
|
</li><li> It makes updating of SSA form during loop transformations simpler.
|
|
Without LCSSA, operations like loop unrolling may force creation of PHI
|
|
nodes arbitrarily far from the loop, while in LCSSA, the SSA form can be
|
|
updated locally. However, since we only keep real operands in LCSSA, we
|
|
cannot use this advantage (we could have local updating of real
|
|
operands, but it is not much more efficient than to use generic SSA form
|
|
updating for it as well; the amount of changes to SSA is the same).
|
|
</li></ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>However, it also means LCSSA must be updated. This is usually
|
|
straightforward, unless you create a new value in loop and use it
|
|
outside, or unless you manipulate loop exit edges (functions are
|
|
provided to make these manipulations simple).
|
|
<code>rewrite_into_loop_closed_ssa</code> is used to rewrite SSA form to
|
|
LCSSA, and <code>verify_loop_closed_ssa</code> to check that the invariant of
|
|
LCSSA is preserved.
