PHIS_ONLY is true if we should only consider PHI nodes as generating copy propagation opportunities. The algorithm propagates the value COPY-OF using ssa_propagate. For every variable X_i, COPY-OF(X_i) indicates which variable is X_i created from. The following example shows how the algorithm proceeds at a high level: 1 a_24 = x_1 2 a_2 = PHI 3 a_5 = PHI 4 x_1 = PHI The end result should be that a_2, a_5, a_24 and x_1 are a copy of x_298. Propagation proceeds as follows. Visit #1: a_24 is copy-of x_1. Value changed. Visit #2: a_2 is copy-of x_1. Value changed. Visit #3: a_5 is copy-of x_1. Value changed. Visit #4: x_1 is copy-of x_298. Value changed. Visit #1: a_24 is copy-of x_298. Value changed. Visit #2: a_2 is copy-of x_298. Value changed. Visit #3: a_5 is copy-of x_298. Value changed. Visit #4: x_1 is copy-of x_298. Stable state reached. When visiting PHI nodes, we only consider arguments that flow through edges marked executable by the propagation engine. So, when visiting statement #2 for the first time, we will only look at the first argument (a_24) and optimistically assume that its value is the copy of a_24 (x_1). The problem with this approach is that it may fail to discover copy relations in PHI cycles. Instead of propagating copy-of values, we actually propagate copy-of chains. For instance: A_3 = B_1; C_9 = A_3; D_4 = C_9; X_i = D_4; In this code fragment, COPY-OF (X_i) = { D_4, C_9, A_3, B_1 }. Obviously, we are only really interested in the last value of the chain, however the propagator needs to access the copy-of chain when visiting PHI nodes. To represent the copy-of chain, we use the array COPY_CHAINS, which holds the first link in the copy-of chain for every variable. If variable X_i is a copy of X_j, which in turn is a copy of X_k, the array will contain: COPY_CHAINS[i] = X_j COPY_CHAINS[j] = X_k COPY_CHAINS[k] = X_k Keeping copy-of chains instead of copy-of values directly becomes important when visiting PHI nodes. Suppose that we had the following PHI cycle, such that x_52 is already considered a copy of x_53: 1 x_54 = PHI 2 x_53 = PHI Visit #1: x_54 is copy-of x_53 (because x_52 is copy-of x_53) Visit #2: x_53 is copy-of x_898 (because x_54 is a copy of x_53, so it is considered irrelevant as a copy). Visit #1: x_54 is copy-of nothing (x_53 is a copy-of x_898 and x_52 is a copy of x_53, so they don't match) Visit #2: x_53 is copy-of nothing This problem is avoided by keeping a chain of copies, instead of the final copy-of value. Propagation will now only keep the first element of a variable's copy-of chain. When visiting PHI nodes, arguments are considered equal if their copy-of chains end in the same variable. So, as long as their copy-of chains overlap, we know that they will be a copy of the same variable, regardless of which variable that may be). Propagation would then proceed as follows (the notation a -> b means that a is a copy-of b): Visit #1: x_54 = PHI x_53 -> x_53 x_52 -> x_53 Result: x_54 -> x_53. Value changed. Add SSA edges. Visit #1: x_53 = PHI x_898 -> x_898 x_54 -> x_53 Result: x_53 -> x_898. Value changed. Add SSA edges. Visit #2: x_54 = PHI x_53 -> x_898 x_52 -> x_53 -> x_898 Result: x_54 -> x_898. Value changed. Add SSA edges. Visit #2: x_53 = PHI x_898 -> x_898 x_54 -> x_898 Result: x_53 -> x_898. Value didn't change. Stable state Once the propagator stabilizes, we end up with the desired result x_53 and x_54 are both copies of x_898. */ static unsigned int execute_copy_prop (void) { init_copy_prop (); ssa_propagate (copy_prop_visit_stmt, copy_prop_visit_phi_node); fini_copy_prop (); return 0; } static bool gate_copy_prop (void) { return flag_tree_copy_prop != 0; } struct gimple_opt_pass pass_copy_prop = { { GIMPLE_PASS, "copyprop", /* name */ gate_copy_prop, /* gate */ execute_copy_prop, /* execute */ NULL, /* sub */ NULL, /* next */ 0, /* static_pass_number */ TV_TREE_COPY_PROP, /* tv_id */ PROP_ssa | PROP_cfg, /* properties_required */ 0, /* properties_provided */ 0, /* properties_destroyed */ 0, /* todo_flags_start */ TODO_cleanup_cfg | TODO_dump_func | TODO_ggc_collect | TODO_verify_ssa | TODO_update_ssa /* todo_flags_finish */ } };
