9 // This pass merges globals with internal linkage into one. This way all the
10 // globals which were merged into a biggest one can be addressed using offsets
11 // from the same base pointer (no need for separate base pointer for each of the
12 // global). Such a transformation can significantly reduce the register pressure
13 // when many globals are involved.
14 //
15 // For example, consider the code which touches several global variables at
16 // once:
17 //
18 // static int foo[N], bar[N], baz[N];
19 //
20 // for (i = 0; i < N; ++i) {
21 //    foo[i] = bar[i] * baz[i];
22 // }
23 //
24 //  On ARM the addresses of 3 arrays should be kept in the registers, thus
25 //  this code has quite large register pressure (loop body):
26 //
27 //  ldr     r1, [r5], #4
28 //  ldr     r2, [r6], #4
29 //  mul     r1, r2, r1
30 //  str     r1, [r0], #4
31 //
32 //  Pass converts the code to something like:
33 //
34 //  static struct {
35 //    int foo[N];
36 //    int bar[N];
37 //    int baz[N];
38 //  } merged;
39 //
40 //  for (i = 0; i < N; ++i) {
41 //    merged.foo[i] = merged.bar[i] * merged.baz[i];
42 //  }
43 //
44 //  and in ARM code this becomes:
45 //
46 //  ldr     r0, [r5, #40]
47 //  ldr     r1, [r5, #80]
48 //  mul     r0, r1, r0
49 //  str     r0, [r5], #4
50 //
51 //  note that we saved 2 registers here almostly "for free".
52 //
53 // However, merging globals can have tradeoffs:
54 // - it confuses debuggers, tools, and users
55 // - it makes linker optimizations less useful (order files, LOHs, ...)
56 // - it forces usage of indexed addressing (which isn't necessarily "free")
57 // - it can increase register pressure when the uses are disparate enough.
58 //
59 // We use heuristics to discover the best global grouping we can (cf cl::opts).
