[llvm-dev] Loop invariant code motion optimization does not happen for the input code

Dear all,

Greetings. I have been trying to have a loop invariant code motion on the
LLVM IR (.ll) file which has been generated from the following .c file.

int main()
{
    int a = 5, b = 20, c = 50, d = 1, x;
    while(a < b)
    {
        x = d + 1;
        x = d + 2;
        c = c + 5;
        a = a + 1;
    }
}
Both the first two statements should qualify for loop invariant code
motion. However, loop invariant code does not move out of the loop in the
generated .ll file. Note that I have applied the following commands.

clang -S -emit-llvm prog1.c  -o prog1.ll
opt -licm -S prog1.ll -o prog1-opt3.ll -opt-bisect-limit=300

Can you please help in this regard ?

Thanks and regards,
Sudakshina
