Hello,

After seeing Steve Ellcey's patch at:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2013-05/msg00667.html
I've been playing with pushing the same logic closer to the
current jump-threading framework.

I've split off Steve's patch into path search code (added to
tree-ssa-threadedge.c) and path copy code (added to
tree-ssa-threadupdate.c).

This patch survives bootstrap and regression runs on arm and
x86 with no problems. As it stands it is unconditionally added
in the same places jump-threading would be, making it active
at -O1 and above. With this, I saw no significant impact in
compile times measured by --with-build-config=bootstrap-time.

I'm not sure this is what Jeff Law intended when he asked that
the code be moved to the existing jump-threading framework, I
found gimple_duplicate_sese_region did a much better job of
doing the right thing than I had expected, thus had no need to
play with the block update code in tree-ssa-threadupdate.c.

As for deciding when it is good to perform this optimisation,
I use Steve's max_insn_count and max_path_count values, though
clearly if this approach seems acceptable I can add command line
flags as appropriate.

In terms of touching generic code I had to make a change to the
gimple_duplicate_sese_region code to patch up when I am copying
across loop headers/latches which are not entry->dest/src. I use
the assumption that, having copied a region, if block n was the
loop header of the original region, block n will be the loop
header of the new region and use this to patch up new loop
information.

My other generic change ensures that
simplify_control_stmt_condition in tree-ssa-threadedge.c returns
something for us to analyse even if it cannot simplify to a
gimple min invariant.

Beyond that, the path search code is modified from Steve's patch
to only perform one depth first search, and the path copy code
is modified to purge the region entry and exit edges for those
which traditional jump-threading may consider.

Opinions?

Thanks,
James Greenhalgh

Hi James,

I tried out your patch and I am not getting the speed up in
coremark that I got with my patch.  I wonder if restricting it
to one depth first search is the reason.  With my patch I was
able to completely get rid of the switch statement, but with
this patch it still exists.  Maybe we need an option to do
multiple searches?

Hi Steve,

Thanks for having a look at the patch, though you appear to get
very different results to my local build.

Comparing a bootstrapped native x86_64 compiler with my patch and
these flags:

  /work/gcc-build-jg-threading/build-x86/install/bin/gcc -S -O3 -Ilinux64 core_state.c

And a bootstrapped native x86_64 compiler with your patch and
these flags:

  /work/gcc-build-sje-threading/build-x86/install/bin/gcc -S -O3 -Ilinux64 -ftree-switch-shortcut core_state.c

I see only minor cosmetic differences (Placement of labels,
numbering of labels) between the two generated assembly files.

Perhaps you could share the flags you were using and I can try to
figure out which paths I seem to be missing. If I can't find them,
I'll happily revert to using your search strategy.

Regards,
James Greenhalgh

I am building a cross compiler running on x86_64 and targeting
mips-mti-elf.  I ran the compiler with:

-mips32r2 -EL -msoft-float -O3 -funroll-all-loops -finline-functions
-finline-limit=1000 -DRTEYAMON

With my version the compiler calls gimple_duplicate_sese_region from
duplicate_blocks 60 times.  With your patch it calls
gimple_duplicate_sese_region from duplicate_thread_path 16 times.
