Log:
[LAA] Fix estimation of number of memchecks
Summary:
We need to add a runtime memcheck for pair of accesses (x,y) where at least one of x and y
are writes.
Assuming we have w writes and r reads, currently this number is estimated as being
w* (w+r-1). This estimation will count (write,write) pairs twice and will overestimate
the number of checks required.
This change adds a getNumberOfChecks method to RuntimePointerCheck, which
will count the number of runtime checks needed (similar in implementation to
needsAnyChecking) and uses it to produce the correct number of runtime checks.
Test Plan:
llvm test suite
spec2k
spec2k6
Performance results: no changes observed (not surprising since the formula for 1 writer is basically the same, which would covers most cases - at least with the current check limit).
