[PATCH] D131827: [LoopSimplify][NFC] Replace depth-first order process as depth_first accessor.

[luxufan via Phabricator via llvm-commits]

StephenFan added inline comments.


================
Comment at: llvm/lib/Transforms/Utils/LoopSimplify.cpp:731
   SmallVector<Loop *, 4> Worklist;
-  Worklist.push_back(L);
-
-  // Walk the worklist from front to back, pushing newly found sub loops onto
-  // the back. This will let us process loops from back to front in depth-first
-  // order. We can use this simple process because loops form a tree.
-  for (unsigned Idx = 0; Idx != Worklist.size(); ++Idx) {
-    Loop *L2 = Worklist[Idx];
-    Worklist.append(L2->begin(), L2->end());
-  }
+  for_each(depth_first(L),
+           [&Worklist](Loop *SubLoop) { Worklist.push_back(SubLoop); });

You seem to be visiting each item in dfs, and adding them to worklist, and then still visiting them in inverse order.

After digging into the implementation detail of `depth_first`, I feel like you may have misunderstood what `depth_first` would do. I found that `depth_first` would return nodes from the root down. So this patch looks correct.
