theraven 0dcb0885bf Update opts to work with LLVM trunk (3.3). 13 years ago
theraven 8cf5e0412f Update optimisation to work with LLVM trunk, remove the Makefile and use CMake for building the passes (out of tree builds are now easier). 14 years ago
theraven f2caea7f28 It turns out that allocating one word on stack every loop iteration doesn't scale very well.
It also turns out that if you test the cache every loop iteration but never write to it that this doesn't really make things any faster...

theraven d99a8b19ed Remove debugging statements. 14 years ago
theraven 286892936d Teach the optimisations to work in the presence of exception handling and if the front end emits objc_msgSend() instead of indirect lookups.
The GNUstep-base test suite now passes when compiled with:

 -fno-objc-legacy-dispatch -Xclang -load -Xclang /path/to/libGNUObjCRuntime.so -O3

theraven 705135bb89 Some fixes to the Objective-C optimisation passes. Tested by compiling GNUstep base with clang at -O3 + all of the optimisations that this library enables at O3 and then running the test suite - results, looking good. Still to do before the release: turn objc_msgSend() into objc_msg_lookup_sender() and insert caching when not optimising for size. 14 years ago
theraven b68a5dda6d Get the libobjc2 optimisations building again with LLVM trunk. 15 years ago
theraven b7986e9efa Ooops. Accidentally left the bit that actually did the optimisation commented out. 15 years ago
theraven 5705845e98 Fixed some bugs with the optimisation passes and introduced support for automatically running them (requires LLVM 3 + a patch that is not yet in trunk, but should be soon). 15 years ago
theraven 34aa9f9455 Allowed LLVM optimisations to build against both LLVM 2.9 and LLVM 3.0. 15 years ago
theraven 9d5452b147 Fixed LLVM passes to compile with recent LLVM.
Made class caching pass cache classes in a static variable if the original class is not available.

theraven 23447feca5 Profile-driven inlining of Objective-C methods. 16 years ago
theraven 6a58d3d49d Added unfinished inliner that uses type feedback info to inline instance methods.
Made class method inliner also inline message sends to super.

Various updates caused by clang now attaching more sensible metadata to the IR.

theraven 6cac2816cc Added speculative inlining of class messages. Currently inlines all that it can, without deciding whether it's sensible. 16 years ago
theraven 84b41a8464 Added -gnu-class-lookup-cache and -gnu-class-imp-cache passes. These add caching for class messages and also skip the class lookup (using the class symbol directly) where possible.
In combination, these make class messages marginally slower than function calls, rather than significantly slower than message sends.

theraven 352dfe2d93 Removed some unneeded #includes. 16 years ago
theraven 874ec4bd66 Fixed IMP cacher to not cache the slot if the lookup function changes the receiver (this could result in a method being called on the wrong receiver, which would just be confusing). 16 years ago
theraven dfc4a0286b Factored out code that performs IMP caching into a separate class. This can now be used by other passes that cache IMPs outside of loops (for example, always caching class messages because they always have the same receiver). 16 years ago
