[llvm-dev] Question about Traversing Loops in forward or reverse program order on new pass manager

[Jingu Kang via llvm-dev]

Hi All,

I have seen performance regressions from new pass manager against legacy pass manager. One of the issues is the order of populating loops on pass manager. The legacy pass manager is traversing loops in reverse program order but the new pass manager is traversing in forward program order. It sometimes causes different output. I have created a review https://reviews.llvm.org/D99774 for reverse program order on new pass manager and had short discussion with Arthur on it. It is not easy to say the reverse order is better than the forward one or vice versa. I would like to share this issue with more people on llvm-dev. If you have idea or experience about this issue, please share it.

Thanks
JinGu Kang
