Commit Message

David Malcolm July 10, 2018, 1:11 a.m. UTC
This patch uses the opt_result framework throughout the vectorizer
(and a few other places) so that specific details on problems are
propagated back up to the top-level of the vectorizer.

The changes are mostly fairly mechanical.

There are various FIXMEs in the code: for example, in various places
it feels like it would be useful to have a formatted printing API
for opt_result::failure etc, or other ways to capture the information
of interest (e.g. if there's a dependence between two data references
that's blocking vectorization, we probably should capture them so
we can highlight them to the user).

Almost everywhere using "bool" to handle error-checking uses "true"
for success, but there was one place where "true" meant "failure":
vect_analyze_data_ref_dependence, so the patch changes the sense
of that function's return value (as well as converting it from
bool to opt_result).

Placeholder ChangeLog follows:

gcc/ChangeLog:
	* tree-data-ref.c: Use opt-problem.h in many places.
	* tree-data-ref.h: Likewise.
	* tree-vect-data-refs.c: Likewise.
	* tree-vect-loop.c: Likewise.
	* tree-vect-slp.c: Likewise.
	* tree-vect-stmts.c: Likewise.
	* tree-vectorizer.h: Likewise.
