[llvm-dev] [RFC] Strlen loop idiom recognition/folding (original) (raw)

Hi all,

This patch (https://reviews.llvm.org/D83392) extends loop idiom recognize by including the recognition of strlen and transforming it to a function call. It is the first part of 3 patches: the second patch will also identify strlens of 16 bit char length and replace them with a new strlen16 intrinsic. The third patch would see if any strlen/strlen16 are only used in zero equality comparisons, and if so, fold them to a load of the first element (giving some performance benefits). If a call to strlen16 intrinsic cannot be folded, it would be expanded back out to the canonical loop form.

Any comments about this would be appreciated. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/attachments/20200708/a8899c05/attachment.html>
