<h1>Known Bits Analysis<a class="headerlink" href="#known-bits-analysis" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
<p>The Known Bits Analysis pass makes information about the known values of bits
available to other passes to enable transformations like those in the examples
below. The information is lazily computed so you should only pay for what you
use.</p>
<div class="section" id="examples">
<h2>Examples<a class="headerlink" href="#examples" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>A simple example is that transforming:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">a</span> <span class="o">+</span> <span class="mi">1</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>into:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">a</span> <span class="o">|</span> <span class="mi">1</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>is only valid when the addition doesn’t carry. In other words it’s only valid
if <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">a</span> <span class="pre">&amp;</span> <span class="pre">1</span></code> is zero.</p>
<p>Another example is:</p>
<div class="highlight-none notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>%1:(s32) = G_CONSTANT i32 0xFF0
%2:(s32) = G_AND %0, %1
%3:(s32) = G_CONSTANT i32 0x0FF
%4:(s32) = G_AND %2, %3
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>We can use the constants and the definition of <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">G_AND</span></code> to determine the known
bits:</p>
<div class="highlight-none notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>                                 ; %0 = 0x????????
%1:(s32) = G_CONSTANT i32 0xFF0  ; %1 = 0x00000FF0
%2:(s32) = G_AND %0, %1          ; %2 = 0x00000??0
%3:(s32) = G_CONSTANT i32 0x0FF  ; %3 = 0x000000FF
%4:(s32) = G_AND %2, %3          ; %4 = 0x000000?0
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>and then use this to simplify the expression:</p>
<div class="highlight-none notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>                                 ; %0 = 0x????????
%5:(s32) = G_CONSTANT i32 0x0F0  ; %5 = 0x00000FF0
%4:(s32) = G_AND %0, %5          ; %4 = 0x000000?0
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Note that <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">%4</span></code> still has the same known bits as before the transformation.
Many transformations share this property. The main exception being when the
transform causes undefined bits to become defined to either zero, one, or
defined but unknown.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="usage">
<h2>Usage<a class="headerlink" href="#usage" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>To use Known Bits Analysis in a pass, first include the header and register the
dependency with <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">INITIALIZE_PASS_DEPENDENCY</span></code>.</p>
<div class="highlight-c++ notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="cp">#include</span> <span class="cpf">&quot;llvm/CodeGen/GlobalISel/GISelKnownBits.h&quot;</span><span class="cp"></span>

<span class="p">...</span>

<span class="n">INITIALIZE_PASS_BEGIN</span><span class="p">(...)</span>
<span class="n">INITIALIZE_PASS_DEPENDENCY</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">GISelKnownBitsAnalysis</span><span class="p">)</span>
<span class="n">INITIALIZE_PASS_END</span><span class="p">(...)</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>and require the pass in <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">getAnalysisUsage</span></code>.</p>
<div class="highlight-c++ notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="kt">void</span> <span class="n">MyPass</span><span class="o">::</span><span class="n">getAnalysisUsage</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">AnalysisUsage</span> <span class="o">&amp;</span><span class="n">AU</span><span class="p">)</span> <span class="k">const</span> <span class="p">{</span>
  <span class="n">AU</span><span class="p">.</span><span class="n">addRequired</span><span class="o">&lt;</span><span class="n">GISelKnownBitsAnalysis</span><span class="o">&gt;</span><span class="p">();</span>
  <span class="c1">// Optional: If your pass preserves known bits analysis (many do) then</span>
  <span class="c1">//           indicate that it&#39;s preserved for re-use by another pass here.</span>
  <span class="n">AU</span><span class="p">.</span><span class="n">addPreserved</span><span class="o">&lt;</span><span class="n">GISelKnownBitsAnalysis</span><span class="o">&gt;</span><span class="p">();</span>
<span class="p">}</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Then it’s just a matter of fetching the analysis and using it:</p>
<div class="highlight-c++ notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="kt">bool</span> <span class="n">MyPass</span><span class="o">::</span><span class="n">runOnMachineFunction</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">MachineFunction</span> <span class="o">&amp;</span><span class="n">MF</span><span class="p">)</span> <span class="p">{</span>

  <span class="p">...</span>
  <span class="n">MachineInstr</span> <span class="o">*</span><span class="n">MI</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="p">...;</span>
  <span class="n">KnownBits</span> <span class="n">Known</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">KB</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="n">getKnownBits</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">MI</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="n">getOperand</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="mi">0</span><span class="p">).</span><span class="n">getReg</span><span class="p">());</span>
  <span class="k">if</span> <span class="p">(</span><span class="n">Known</span><span class="p">.</span><span class="n">Zeros</span> <span class="o">&amp;</span> <span class="mi">1</span><span class="p">)</span> <span class="p">{</span>
    <span class="c1">// Bit 0 is known to be zero</span>
  <span class="p">}</span>
  <span class="p">...</span>
<span class="p">}</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>There are many more API’s beyond <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">getKnownBits()</span></code>. See the <a class="reference external" href="https://llvm.org/doxygen">API reference</a> for more information</p>
