RE: [PATCH] check alias sets in add_inter_loop_mem_dep (ddg.c)


Correction: -fstrict-alias instead of -fno-strict-aliasing. With the patch, both loops in foo1 and foo2 can be pipelined. 

/* { dg-do run } */
/* { dg-options "-O2 -fmodulo-sched -w" } */
void foo( int * __restrict__ a, int * __restrict__ b, int * __restrict__ c) <--- 'a', 'b' and 'c' belong to different alias sets.
{
   int i;
   for(i = 0; i < 100; i+=4)
     {
       a[i] = b[i] * c[i];
       a[i+1] = b[i+1] * c[i+1];
       a[i+2] = b[i+2] * c[i+2];
       a[i+3] = b[i+3] * c[i+3];
     }
}   


void foo2( int *  a, short *  b, short *  c) <--- 'b' and 'c' belong to different alias set than 'a' here 
{
   int i;
   for(i = 0; i < 100; i+=4)
     {
       a[i] = b[i] * c[i];
       a[i+1] = b[i+1] * c[i+1];
       a[i+2] = b[i+2] * c[i+2];
       a[i+3] = b[i+3] * c[i+3];
     }
}   

int a[100], b[100], c[100];
int main()
{
  int i, res;
  for(i = 0; i < 100; i++)
    {
      b[i] = c[i] = i;
    }  
  foo(a, b, c);
  
  res = 0;  
  for(i = 0; i < 100; i++)
    {
      res += a[i];
    }
  if(res != 328350)
    abort();
  
  return 0;        
}
