I'm compiling a large code base that uses tagged data, with the tag in the two
lowest bits.
I.e. ints are shifted two steps to the left and have 2 in the tag bits,
pointers have 0 in the tag bits, etc.
When I compile the code, I notice that there are places where -O3 doesn't
remove unnecessary tag bit tests and manipulations, when they are performed
with bitwise manipulation (which is how it is implemented in the large code
base I'm working with).
I've provided a small example below.
However, when I change from using 'and' and 'or' to using subtraction and
addition, llvm is able to detect and optimise the code correctly.
/***************************************************/
/* The two LSB of x0 are 'tag bits' */
/* that we want to manipulate. */
extern long x0;
void go_error(void) __attribute__ ((noreturn));
void example_not_optimized(void)
{
if((x0 & 3) == 2) {
// Here the tag bits are removed and added
// with bitwise 'and' and 'or'.
x0 = ((x0 & ~3) | 2) + 12;
} else {
go_error();
}
}
/*
define void @example_not_optimized() #0 {
%1 = load i64* @x0, align 8, !tbaa !1
%2 = and i64 %1, 3
%3 = icmp eq i64 %2, 2
br i1 %3, label %4, label %8
; <label>:4 ; preds = %0
%5 = and i64 %1, -4 ; this should be optimized away
%6 = or i64 %5, 2 ; this should be optimized away
%7 = add nsw i64 %6, 12
store i64 %7, i64* @x0, align 8, !tbaa !1
ret void
; <label>:8 ; preds = %0
tail call void @go_error() #2
unreachable
}
*/
void example_optimized(void)
{
if((x0 & 3) == 2) {
// Here the tag bits are removed and added
// with subtraction and addition.
x0 = (x0 - (x0 & 3) + 2) + 12;
} else {
go_error();
}
}
/*
define void @example_optimized() #0 {
%1 = load i64* @x0, align 8, !tbaa !1
%2 = and i64 %1, 3
%3 = icmp eq i64 %2, 2
br i1 %3, label %4, label %6
; <label>:4 ; preds = %0
%5 = add i64 %1, 12 ; Here it worked OK.
store i64 %5, i64* @x0, align 8, !tbaa !1
ret void
; <label>:6 ; preds = %0
tail call void @go_error() #2
unreachable
}
