Hello, [1] I want to achieve hosting of a custom built-in call out of loop that loads an immediate value.
for (int i = 0; i < 4000; i++) { _9 = (unsigned int) _1; slli_6 = _9 << 8; srli_36 = slli_6 >> 8; li_37 = __builtin_load_immediate (15); //I want to hoist this out of loop which will cause hoisting of add_39 stmt also add_39 = srli_36 + li_37; _10 = __builtin_foo (add_39, 1, _9); } First 5 instructions in the above loop are being inserted by a custom gimple plugin whenever it sees a __builtin_foo(). LICM pass () could hoist below instructions out of loop - _9 = (unsigned int) _1; slli_6 = _9 << 8; srli_36 = slli_6 >> 8; I want to hoist below gimple statement out of loop li_22 = __builtin_riscv_load_immediate(15); //BUILTIN_MD I am generating above builtin call using a custom GCC gimple plugin using - tree li_tmp_name = make_temp_ssa_name (integer_type_node, NULL, "li"); tree load = build_int_cst (unsigned_type_node, 15); gcall *li_stmt = gimple_build_call (decl, 1); //where decl is function_decl gimple_call_set_lhs (li_stmt, li_tmp_name); gimple_call_set_arg (li_stmt, 0, load); gsi_insert_after (&gsi, li_stmt, GSI_NEW_STMT); How do I make a GIMPLE function call as const such that loop invariant code motion hoist it out of the loop. [2] I tried below approaches to make it happen - a. I made load_immediate decl as constant but that did not help TREE_CONSTANT(decl) = 1 b. I teached licm pass to forcefull move out __builtin_load_immediate() by introducing various checks but in the end, it alters function cfg and some other pass like ""tree-ssa-loop-manip.c"" crashes here - /* We should have met DEF_BB along the way. */ gcc_assert (pred != ENTRY_BLOCK_PTR_FOR_FN (cfun)); >From above approaches, making changes in licm pass is proving to be costly and inappropriate. Is there any other way I can achieve it? I am guessing making it a constant gimple function call with no side effects will be hoisted automatically by LICM. If yes, how can I make a gimple call as constant so that it is hoisted out by LICM. Also, please suggest any other approaches to achieve it. Thanks and Regards, Shubham
