[llvm-dev] [RFC] Add a module inliner (original) (raw)

In my GSoC 2021, my goal is to evaluate the value of different callsite visiting orderings, which is inspired by paper[1][2]. I've already enabled doing such an exploration within the constraints of the current SCC inliner (https://reviews.llvm.org/D104028). Exploring more advanced callsite orderings is not possible with the current SCC inliner. The current SCC inliner runs on each SCC in a bottom-up traversal, which means that the inline order is limited to a bottom-up order.

To address this limitation, I would like to add a module inliner, which processes all call sites in a given module at a time instead of a given SCC. This gives us flexibility on the order in which we process call sites.

The module inliner would be disabled by default, to minimize code churn to the existing codebase and make it easier to remove it. Also, to avoid unnecessary abstractions, which would complicate the existing codebase, some code is copied from SCC inliner. Lastly, to foster collaboration, I would propose landing it in trunk rather than a branch.

Best wishes,

Liqiang Tao
