[llvm-dev] DiagnosticInfo and SCEV

[Alexandre Isoard via llvm-dev]

Ah, yes, I should have provided an example:

1: for(int i = 0; i < n/2; ++i)
2:   for(int j = 0; j < n; ++j)
3:     A[2*i+n*j] += A[2*i+1+n*j];

Let say, I have a loop interchange pass that decide it is better for
spacial locality, to exchange those two loops.
It might print a diagnostic message:

Deciding to perform loop interchange between outer-loop at line 1 and
> inner-loop at line 2. Accesses on A at line 3 have a stride of 2 along the
> outer-loop, which is shorter than the stride of %17 along the inner-loop.


The reason why it says 2 and %17 is because that is the textual
representation of SCEV representing the stride. Ideally, %17 would be
expressed in terms of the original code, here "n". I could translate the
"leaves" into their debug info, but what about {0,+,1}<%loop1> that I would
like to spell, as a block: "i"?
