[llvm-dev] [GSoC] Prospective student for Unify ways to move code or check if code is safe to be moved

Accidentally not reply all.
Just as a record:
Hi Rithik,

Thanks for your interest. I can see that you are at the right direction.
Another useful area to look at is the CodeMoverUtils in
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/master/llvm/include/llvm/Transforms/Utils/CodeMoverUtils.h
 .
As we are mostly interested in Loop transformation passes, it would be a
good idea to also get familar with
https://llvm.org/doxygen/classllvm_1_1Loop.html.
Identify the different code motion checks in different loop passes and
identifying the differences in them to categorize them and later implement
them in CodeMoverUtils.

Good luck,
Whitney Tsang
