Looks for branches to a return block in the entry and immediate successor blocks of a function. If found, it outlines the rest of the function using the CodeExtractor.<br><br>Since you mention outlining of code: Does this negatively affect the debug info quality?<br><br>-- adrian<br><br><br>> It then attempts to inline the leftover entry block (and possibly one or more of its successors) to all its callers. This effectively peels the early return block(s) into the caller, which could be executed without incurring the call overhead of the function just to return immediately. Inlining and call overhead cost, as well as branch probabilities of the return block(s) are taken into account before inlining is done. If inlining is not successful, then the changes are discarded.<br>> <br>> eg.<br>> <br>> void foo() {<br>> bar();<br>> // rest of the code in foo<br>> }<br>> <br>> void bar() {<br>> if (X)<br>> return;<br>> // rest of code (to be outlined)<br>> }<br>> <br>> After Partial Inlining:<br>> <br>> void foo() {<br>> if (!X)<br>> bar.outlined();<br>> // rest of the code in foo<br>> }<br>> <br>> void bar.outlined() {<br>> // rest of the code in bar<br>> }<br>> <br>> <br>> Here are the numbers on a Power8 PPCLE running Ubuntu 15.04 in ST-mode<br>> <br>> ----------------------------------------------<br>> Runtime performance (speed)<br>> ----------------------------------------------<br>> Workload Improvement<br>> -------- -----------<br>> SPEC2006(C/C++) 0.06% (geomean)<br>> SPEC2017(C/C++) 0.10% (geomean) <br>> ----------------------------------------------<br>> Compile time performance for Bootstrapped LLVM<br>> ----------------------------------------------<br>> Workload Improvement<br>> -------- -----------<br>> SPEC2006(C/C++) 0.41% (cumulative)<br>> SPEC2017(C/C++) -0.16% (cumulative)<br>> lnt 0.61% (geomean)<br>> ----------------------------------------------<br>> Compile time performance<br>> ----------------------------------------------<br>> Workload Increase<br>> -------- --------<br>> SPEC2006(C/C++) 1.31% (cumulative)<br>> SPEC2017(C/C++) 0.25% (cumulative)<br>> ----------------------------------------------<br>> Code size<br>> ----------------------------------------------<br>> Workload Increase<br>> -------- --------<br>> SPEC2006(C/C++) 3.90% (geomean)<br>> SPEC2017(C/C++) 1.05% (geomean)<br>> <br>> NOTE1: Code size increase in SPEC2006 was mainly attributed to benchmark "astar", which increased by 86%.
