The basic problem here continues to be that, as designed, this optimization is unsound without cooperation from every module that emitted any IR. In order for this optimization to qualify as a non-experimental feature, you will need to actually fix that so that it decays gracefully in the presence of a non-cooperating module. Once you do that, it will also be reasonable to omit these barriers at -O0. When we talked about this before, we had a workable, if conservative, plan for how to implement that graceful decay: you need to tag cooperating functions and then untag them when information is merged (e.g. by the inliner) from non-cooperating functions. Do you still see that as practical? http://reviews.llvm.org/D12312 _______________________________________________ cfe-commits mailing list cfe-commits@lists.llvm.org http://lists.llvm.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cfe-commits
