[llvm-dev] Writing an LLVM Pass that depends on mem2reg

[Matthias Braun via llvm-dev]

I thinkt MachineLoopInfo requires the program to be in MI representation which it isn't yet when the selection DAG schedulers run. You may be able to hack around that by using the IR level loopinfo and trying to associate that information with the machine basic blocks (though that is probably tricky as well as I think expansion of pseudos may have created additional blocks which are not necessarily present in the IR).

In any way the selection DAG schedulers are usually not the place where you want to do advanced scheduling. The long term plan for the selection dag schedulers is to make them as simple as a reverse postorder walk on the selection DAG (we are not quite there yet) or not require them at all anymore with the upcoming GlobalISel. Scheduling for machine specifics is done with the MachineScheduler infrastructure, have you looked at implementing a pre-ra or post-ra MachineScheduler instead of creating a new ScheduleDAG scheduler?

I have used this on my passes before but, this time I am trying to get this information in ScheduleDAGRRList scheduler class. There is no runonmachinefunction function. Do you know how I can implement this?
