      Fix a nasty bug that caused us to unroll EXTREMELY large loops due to overflow · c12c945c
      Chris Lattner authored 
      in the size calculation.

This is not something you want to see:
Loop Unroll: F[main] Loop %no_exit Loop Size = 2 Trip Count = 2147483648 - UNROLLING!

The problem was that 2*2147483648 == 0.

Now we get:
Loop Unroll: F[main] Loop %no_exit Loop Size = 2 Trip Count = 2147483648 - TOO LARGE: 4294967296>100

Thanks to some anonymous person playing with the demo page that repeatedly
caused zion to go into swapping land.  That's one way to ensure you'll get
a quick bugfix.  :)

      Two more improvements for null pointer handling: storing a null pointer · 8e7aea02
      Chris Lattner authored 
      and passing a null pointer into a function.

For this testcase:

void %test(int** %X) {
  store int* null, int** %X
  call void %test(int** null)
  ret void
}

we now generate this:

test:
        sub %ESP, 12
        mov %EAX, DWORD PTR [%ESP + 16]
        mov DWORD PTR [%EAX], 0
        mov DWORD PTR [%ESP], 0
        call test
        add %ESP, 12
        ret

instead of this:

test:
        sub %ESP, 12
        mov %EAX, DWORD PTR [%ESP + 16]
        mov %ECX, 0
        mov DWORD PTR [%EAX], %ECX
        mov %EAX, 0
        mov DWORD PTR [%ESP], %EAX
        call test
        add %ESP, 12
        ret

      Second half of my fixed-sized-alloca patch. This folds the LEA to compute · 593d22d6
      Chris Lattner authored 
      the alloca address into common operations like loads/stores.

In a simple testcase like this (which is just designed to excersize the
alloca A, nothing more):

int %test(int %X, bool %C) {
        %A = alloca int
        store int %X, int* %A
        store int* %A, int** %G
        br bool %C, label %T, label %F
T:
        call int %test(int 1, bool false)
        %V = load int* %A
        ret int %V
F:
        call int %test(int 123, bool true)
        %V2 = load int* %A
        ret int %V2
}

We now generate:

test:
        sub %ESP, 12
        mov %EAX, DWORD PTR [%ESP + 16]
        mov %CL, BYTE PTR [%ESP + 20]
***     mov DWORD PTR [%ESP + 8], %EAX
        mov %EAX, OFFSET G
        lea %EDX, DWORD PTR [%ESP + 8]
        mov DWORD PTR [%EAX], %EDX
        test %CL, %CL
        je .LBB2 # PC rel: F
.LBB1:  # T
        mov DWORD PTR [%ESP], 1
        mov DWORD PTR [%ESP + 4], 0
        call test
***     mov %EAX, DWORD PTR [%ESP + 8]
        add %ESP, 12
        ret
.LBB2:  # F
        mov DWORD PTR [%ESP], 123
        mov DWORD PTR [%ESP + 4], 1
        call test
***     mov %EAX, DWORD PTR [%ESP + 8]
        add %ESP, 12
        ret

Instead of:

test:
        sub %ESP, 20
        mov %EAX, DWORD PTR [%ESP + 24]
        mov %CL, BYTE PTR [%ESP + 28]
***     lea %EDX, DWORD PTR [%ESP + 16]
***     mov DWORD PTR [%EDX], %EAX
        mov %EAX, OFFSET G
        mov DWORD PTR [%EAX], %EDX
        test %CL, %CL
***     mov DWORD PTR [%ESP + 12], %EDX
        je .LBB2 # PC rel: F
.LBB1:  # T
        mov DWORD PTR [%ESP], 1
        mov %EAX, 0
        mov DWORD PTR [%ESP + 4], %EAX
        call test
***     mov %EAX, DWORD PTR [%ESP + 12]
***     mov %EAX, DWORD PTR [%EAX]
        add %ESP, 20
        ret
.LBB2:  # F
        mov DWORD PTR [%ESP], 123
        mov %EAX, 1
        mov DWORD PTR [%ESP + 4], %EAX
        call test
***     mov %EAX, DWORD PTR [%ESP + 12]
***     mov %EAX, DWORD PTR [%EAX]
        add %ESP, 20
        ret

      Substantially improve code generation for address exposed locals (aka fixed · 2bb33259
      Chris Lattner authored 
      sized allocas in the entry block).  Instead of generating code like this:

entry:
  reg1024 = ESP+1234
... (much later)
  *reg1024 = 17


Generate code that looks like this:
entry:
  (no code generated)
... (much later)
  t = ESP+1234
  *t = 17

The advantage being that we DRAMATICALLY reduce the register pressure for these
silly temporaries (they were all being spilled to the stack, resulting in very
silly code).  This is actually a manual implementation of rematerialization :)

I have a patch to fold the alloca address computation into loads & stores, which
will make this much better still, but just getting this right took way too much time
and I'm sleepy.
