I'm using LLVM-3.8 (current SVN version) to optimize my code. After loop<br>
unrolling, I find there is 'undef' in the IR. For example,<br></span>
"/%.lcssa21.unr = phi double [ undef, %.lr.ph9 ], [ %13, %7 ]/". I have<span><br>
two questions:<br>
<br>
(1) Why this 'undef' is generated? Because before 'loop unrolling',<br>
there is no such 'undef'.<br>
</span></blockquote>
<br>
Most likely to satisfy the syntax of a phi node. If everything is correct, that value will never be used. If things weren't exactly correct, this may be a result of a load from an uninitialized memory, or something like that.<span><br>
<br>

(2) How LLVM backend deals with this 'undef'?<br>

In general, undef will propagate itself through instructions. How it will deal with this specific one, it's impossible to say without the context.<span><font color="#888888"><br>
