Commit Message

Aldy Hernandez Sept. 3, 2021, 1:58 p.m. UTC
This patch abstracts out a couple common idioms in the forward
threader that I found useful while navigating the code base.

Tested on x86-64 Linux.

OK?

gcc/ChangeLog:

	* tree-ssa-threadedge.c (has_phis_p): New.
	(forwarder_block_p): New.
	(potentially_threadable_block): Call forwarder_block_p.
	(jump_threader::thread_around_empty_blocks): Call has_phis_p.
	(jump_threader::thread_through_normal_block): Call
	forwarder_block_p.

gimple_seq_empty_p (phi_nodes (bb)) shoud be cheaper.  Do virtual PHIs
count as PHIs for you?

There exists a function with exactly the same signature in cfgrtl.h, likewise
several similar implementations might exist elsewhere.

Your definition is also quite odd, not matching what one would expect
(the PHI requirement).  The tree-cfgcleanup.c variant has
tree_forwarder_block_p which is explicit about this.

Btw, gsi_start_nondebug_bb does not ignore labels.

I don't know.  The goal was to abstract some common idioms without 
changing existing behavior, but if my abstractions confuse other 
readers, perhaps I should revert my patch.

FWIW, my initial motivation here was to merge the path profitability 
code between the forward and backward threaders.  It seems the forward 
threader is more permissive than the backward threader, even though the 
latter can thread more paths than it's allowed (per profitable_path_p).

Ughh, that's definitely not good.

Would a name like empty_block_with_phis_p be more appropriate?

I think so.  That said, my main concern ist the clash with the same named function.

Agreed.

OK for trunk?

OK.  I nearly called out a request for a name change....  Guess I should 
have :-)
