I am a newbie to LLVM, so I have to say sorry if I asked the question in the
wrong place.
In some cases when I generate LLVM IR from machine assembly(with limited type
information) I have to convert the pointers to I32, after the standard mem2reg
pass there still are things like:
inttoptr i32 %1 to i8*
While in fact this can be replaced by the I8* operations, because the I8* can
be unsigned compared, and get rid of the redundant Instrs, Is there any pass
can do this, or is there any tricks to avoid these redundant conversions while
retain the meaning of the program?
define i8* @tag_on(i8* %ptr, i8* %end, i8 %tag) {
Entry:
ptrtoint i8* %end to i32 ; <i32>:0 [#uses=2]
ptrtoint i8* %ptr to i32 ; <i32>:1 [#uses=4]
icmp ugt i32 %0, %1 ; <i1>:2 [#uses=1]
br i1 %2, label %B1, label %B2
B1: ; preds = %Entry
inttoptr i32 %1 to i8* ; <i8*>:3 [#uses=1]
store i8 1, i8* %3
add i32 %1, 1 ; <i32>:4 [#uses=1]
br label %B2
B2: ; preds = %Entry, %B1
%eax.0 = phi i32 [ %4, %B1 ], [ %1, %Entry ] ; <i32>
[#uses=4]
icmp ugt i32 %0, %eax.0 ; <i1>:5 [#uses=1]
br i1 %5, label %B3, label %exit
B3: ; preds = %B2
inttoptr i32 %eax.0 to i8* ; <i8*>:6 [#uses=1]
store i8 1, i8* %6
add i32 %eax.0, 1 ; <i32>:7 [#uses=1]
br label %exit
exit: ; preds = %B2, %B3
%eax.1 = phi i32 [ %7, %B3 ], [ %eax.0, %B2 ] ; <i32>
[#uses=1]
inttoptr i32 %eax.1 to i8* ; <i8*>:8 [#uses=1]
ret i8* %8
}
