◆ analyze_scalar_evolution()

tree analyze_scalar_evolution ( class loop * loop,
tree var )
extern
Analyzes and returns the scalar evolution of the ssa_name VAR in
  LOOP.  LOOP is the loop in which the variable is used.

  Example of use: having a pointer VAR to a SSA_NAME node, STMT a
  pointer to the statement that uses this variable, in order to
  determine the evolution function of the variable, use the following
  calls:

  loop_p loop = loop_containing_stmt (stmt);
  tree chrec_with_symbols = analyze_scalar_evolution (loop, var);
  tree chrec_instantiated = instantiate_parameters (loop, chrec_with_symbols);

the loop is function's body.

◆ compute_overall_effect_of_inner_loop()

tree compute_overall_effect_of_inner_loop ( class loop * loop,
tree evolution_fn )
extern
Compute the scalar evolution for EVOLUTION_FN after crossing LOOP.
  In general, in the case of multivariate evolutions we want to get
  the evolution in different loops.  LOOP specifies the level for
  which to get the evolution.

  Example:

  | for (j = 0; j < 100; j++)
  |   {
  |     for (k = 0; k < 100; k++)
  |       {
  |         i = k + j;   - Here the value of i is a function of j, k.
  |       }
  |      ... = i         - Here the value of i is a function of j.
  |   }
  | ... = i              - Here the value of i is a scalar.

  Example:

  | i_0 = ...
  | loop_1 10 times
  |   i_1 = phi (i_0, i_2)
  |   i_2 = i_1 + 2
  | endloop

  This loop has the same effect as:
  LOOP_1 has the same effect as:

  | i_1 = i_0 + 20

  The overall effect of the loop, "i_0 + 20" in the previous example,
  is obtained by passing in the parameters: LOOP = 1,
  EVOLUTION_FN = {i_0, +, 2}_1.

◆ get_loop_exit_condition() [1/2]

gcond * get_loop_exit_condition ( const class loop * loop)
extern
This section selects the loops that will be good candidates for the
scalar evolution analysis.  For the moment, greedily select all the
loop nests we could analyze.   
For a loop with a single exit edge, return the COND_EXPR that
guards the exit edge.  If the expression is too difficult to
analyze, then give up.

tree instantiate_scev ( edge instantiate_below,

extern
Analyze all the parameters of the chrec that were left under a
symbolic form.  INSTANTIATE_BELOW is the basic block that stops the
recursive instantiation of parameters: a parameter is a variable
that is defined in a basic block that dominates INSTANTIATE_BELOW or
a function parameter.

◆ iv_can_overflow_p()

bool iv_can_overflow_p ( class loop * loop,
tree type,
tree base,
tree step )
extern
Return true if the IV calculation in TYPE can overflow based on the knowledge
of the upper bound on the number of iterations of LOOP, the BASE and STEP
of IV.

We do not use information whether TYPE can overflow so it is safe to
use this test even for derived IVs not computed every iteration or
hypotetical IVs to be inserted into code.

Entry point for the analysis of the number of iterations pass.
This function tries to safely approximate the number of iterations
the loop will run.  When this property is not decidable at compile
time, the result is chrec_dont_know.  Otherwise the result is a
scalar or a symbolic parameter.  When the number of iterations may
be equal to zero and the property cannot be determined at compile
time, the result is a COND_EXPR that represents in a symbolic form
the conditions under which the number of iterations is not zero.

Example of analysis: suppose that the loop has an exit condition:

"if (b > 49) goto end_loop;"

and that in a previous analysis we have determined that the
variable 'b' has an evolution function:

"EF = {23, +, 5}_2".

When we evaluate the function at the point 5, i.e. the value of the
variable 'b' after 5 iterations in the loop, we have EF (5) = 48,
and EF (6) = 53.  In this case the value of 'b' on exit is '53' and
the loop body has been executed 6 times.

◆ simple_iv_with_niters()

bool simple_iv_with_niters ( class loop * wrto_loop,
class loop * use_loop,
tree op,
affine_iv * iv,
tree * iv_niters,
bool allow_nonconstant_step )
extern
Checks whether use of OP in USE_LOOP behaves as a simple affine iv with
respect to WRTO_LOOP and returns its base and step in IV if possible
(see analyze_scalar_evolution_in_loop for more details on USE_LOOP
and WRTO_LOOP).  If ALLOW_NONCONSTANT_STEP is true, we want step to be
invariant in LOOP.  Otherwise we require it to be an integer constant.

IV->no_overflow is set to true if we are sure the iv cannot overflow (e.g.
because it is computed in signed arithmetics).  Consequently, adding an
induction variable

for (i = IV->base; ; i += IV->step)

is only safe if IV->no_overflow is false, or TYPE_OVERFLOW_UNDEFINED is
false for the type of the induction variable, or you can prove that i does
not wrap by some other argument.  Otherwise, this might introduce undefined
behavior, and

i = iv->base;
for (; ; i = (type) ((unsigned type) i + (unsigned type) iv->step))

must be used instead.

When IV_NITERS is not NULL, this function also checks case in which OP
is a conversion of an inner simple iv of below form:

  (outer_type){inner_base, inner_step}_loop.

If type of inner iv has smaller precision than outer_type, it can't be
folded into {(outer_type)inner_base, (outer_type)inner_step}_loop because
the inner iv could overflow/wrap.  In this case, we derive a condition
under which the inner iv won't overflow/wrap and do the simplification.
The derived condition normally is the maximum number the inner iv can
iterate, and will be stored in IV_NITERS.  This is useful in loop niter
analysis, to derive break conditions when a loop must terminate, when is
infinite.
