2025-03-21Simple Inner Loop OptimzationloopoptRoland Paterson-Jones
Two simple loop optimizations. 1. Strength reduction of mul[tiplication] by loop induction variable. 2. Hoisting of (address) base into phi where loop induction variable is used only as a base (address) offset. Limited to loops with a single body block, which happily is always innermost loops. This restriction would not be very hard to lift - it would require detecting the set of loop blocks (and ensuring reducibility?) Limited to loop induction variables with 0 initial value and increment of 1 (for mul strength reduction). This limitation is trivial to lift; however all of the cproc/hare[c]/coremark opportunity is with 0/1 loops for mul reduction, and 0 initial value for base-offset opt.
