[llvm-dev] pass invalidation

[Yuxi Chen via llvm-dev]

Hi Mehdi,

Thanks for your reply.
However, when I remove dependency from C to A, the problem is still here.

Best,
Yuxi

Hi All,

When I use llvm, I encounter a problem like "unable to schedule pass A required by C"
I investigated deeper. It's like:
I have three passes, say A, B, C(all are on function level)
A would modify IR code. (change instruction order)

For pass B,
I would use the result of pass A, I use addRequired<B>(), and &getAnalysis<B>(), it works.

void getAnalysisUsage(AU){
AU.addRequired<A>();
}


For pass C, it will use the results of pass A and B.
I use the way as used for pass B, but it failed, even for LoopInfo analysis pass(which is the built-in analysis pass).
void getAnalysisUsage(AU){
AU.addRequired<A>();
AU.addRequired<B>();
}


It seems because A would modify IR code, so for pass C, I need first load pass A then pass B, otherwise it will be invalidated.
However, when I change the using order, I still got error "unable to schedule pass A required by C".

Does anyone encounter the same problem before and have a solution?
Any help is appreciated.

Depending on other transformations isn’t recommended, and isn’t supported by the soon-new-passmanager I believe.
The expectation is that the passes are added in order to the pass manager by the client.

In you case, I expect that it would “work” by removing the dependency from C to A. If C requires B and B requires A, by scheduling C you’ll get A, B, C in sequence.
