PATCH: Loop to builtin call pass (builtinizer)


Hi,

I am sending patch that adding pass that converts some loop
constructions to calling builtin call.

Problem description:

In many programs are some loop constructions with special statement patterns
that could be transformed into a built-in function call and an expander
infrastructure in GCC chooses the best possible implementation of this
function. This is a way how a compiler could possibly take the best
implementation of the program constructions for a specific platform and thus a
runtime performance can be improved.

Problem solution:

Builtinizer applies a set of analysis on each loop, followed by the built-in
call transformation for the loops that had successfully passed the analysis
phase. 

builtinizer analysis:

* Probe the loop exit condition and bb structure
* Loop bound analysis (by scev)
* Finds all memory references in the loop and checks if an access function that
  describes their modification in the loop can be constructed
* Do memory dependence test (by data dependence analysis)
* Scan all statements in the loop and determines if they match pattern rules
  for transformation to builtin call. Info about marked pattern chains is saved
  into stmt_vec_info (fields 'relevant' and 'related_stmt')
* Analyze data ref access functions and determine if they iterate over all
  iterations of loop

Current supported patterns:
* x[][][]...[i] = 0; -> memset (x[][][]..., 0, n)
* tmp = y [][][]...[i]; x[][][]...[i] = tmp; -> memcpy (x[][][]..., y[][][]...., n) 

builtinizer transformation:

The loop transformation phase scans all accepted statements from the analysis
phase and these statements grouped to patterns. The statement groups remove from
the loop and insert relevant built-in call statement before the loop. 


Bootsraped and regtested on i686-linux x86_64-linux.

OK?
