<br>
I'm writing an LLVM frontend that compiles a subset of TypeScript to WebAssembly using the new experimental Web Assembly Target. and LLVM opt to optimize the output. As part of my work, I compare the runtime of the generated Web Assembly implementation to the plain JavaScript version. During this evaluation, I noticed that LLVM opt converts if statements with a store to a select statement to reduce the number of branches. E.g., the following<br>
<br>
for (let j = i; j < points.length; j += 2) {<br>
const distance = euclideanDistance(currentX, currentY, points[j], points[j+1]);<br>
<br>
if (distance < shortestDistance) {<br>
shortestDistance = distance;<br>
nearestIndex = j;<br>
}<br>
}<br>
<br>
collapses to (the if is removed)<br>
<br>
for (let j = i; j < points.length; j += 2) {<br>
const distance = euclideanDistance(currentX, currentY, points[j], points[j+1]);<br>
<br>
let shorter = distance < shortestDistance;<br>
shortestDistance shorter ? distance : shortestDistance;<br>
nearestIndex = shorter ? j : nearestIndex;<br>
}<br>
<br>
My benchmarks show that this optimization has a negative impact on performance (at least if there are two or more assignments). Therefore, I would like to disable this optimization pass or at least tune it only to collapse the if statement if there is only a single assignment.<br>
<br>
Is there a way to disable this optimization pass or fine tune it to define how many statements are allowed to be collapsed?<br>
<br>
Thank you very much,<br>
Micha<br>
