Local analysis framework

• Define an analysis of a basic block as a quadruple (D, V, F, I) where– D is a direction (forwards or backwards)– V is a set of values the program can have at any

point– F is a family of transfer functions defining the

meaning of any expression as a function f : V V– I is the initial information at the top (or bottom)

of a basic block

3

Available Expressions

• Direction: Forward• Values: Sets of expressions assigned to variables• Transfer functions: Given a set of variable

assignments V and statement a = b + c:– Remove from V any expression containing a as a

subexpression– Add to V the expression a = b + c– Formally: Vout = (Vin \ {e | e contains a}) {a = b + c}

• Initial value: Empty set of expressions

4

Available expressions analysis

a = b;

c = b;

d = a + b;

e = a + b;

d = b;

f = a + b;

sIN[s] OUT[s]

{a=b, c=b, d=a+b}

entry: {} Initial value

Optimizing from available expressions

• Common sub-expression elimination– If {… t = y op z … } x = y op z– Can transform statement into x = t

• Copy propagation– If {… y = t … } x = y op z– Can transform statement into x = t op z

• Note: same for x=y and x=op y

6

Common sub-expression elimination

a = b;

c = b;

d = a + b;

e = a + b;

d = b;

f = a + b; {a=b, c=b, d=b, e=a+b, f=a+b}

{a=b, c=b, d=b, e=a+b}

{a=b, c=b, d=a+b, e=a+b}

{a=b, c=b, d=a+b}

{a=b, c=b}

{a=b}

entry: {}

e = d;

f = e;

7

Liveness Analysis• Direction: Backward• Values: Sets of variables• Transfer functions: Given a set of variable assignments V

and statement a = b + c:– Remove a from V (any previous value of a is now dead)– Add b and c to V (any previous value of b or c is now live)– Formally: Vin = (Vout \ {a}) {b,c}

• Initial value: Depends on semantics of language– E.g., function arguments and return values (pushes)– Result of local analysis of other blocks as part of a global analysis

Optimizing from liveness analysis

• Dead code elimination– If x = y op z {v1,…,vk}– And x {v1,…,vk}– We can eliminate x = y op z

• Note: same for x=y and x=op y

Zero value Analysis• Direction: Forward• Values: Sets of valuations (values assigned to variables)• Transfer functions:

– Given a set of variable assignments V and statement a = b op c: update valuation of a at V according to values of b, c and operator op.

– Formally: Vout = (Vin \ {a = value’}) {a = value}

• Initial value: Depends on semantics of language– E.g., function arguments and return values (pushes)– Result of local analysis of other blocks as part of a global

analysis

c = a + b;

Optimizing from zero value analysis

• Safe division– If x = y / z {v1,…,vk}– And z {v1,…,z=0,…,vk} or {v1,…,z=?,…,vk}

– We can update x = y safe div z

14

Global dead code elimination

• Local dead code elimination needed to know what variables were live on exit from a basic block

• This information can only be computed as part of a global analysis

• How do we modify our liveness analysis to handle a CFG?

Join semilattices• A join semilattice is a ordering defined on a set of elements• Any two elements have some join that is the smallest

element larger than both elements• There is a unique bottom element, which is smaller than all

other elements• Intuitively:

– The join of two elements represents combining information from two elements by an overapproximation

• The bottom element represents “no information yet” or “the least conservative possible answer”

41

Formal definitions

• A join semilattice is a pair (V, ), where• V is a domain of elements• is a join operator that is– commutative: x y = y x– associative: (x y) z = x (y z)– idempotent: x x = x

• If x y = z, we say that z is the joinor (least upper bound) of x and y

• Every join semilattice has a bottom element denoted such that x = x for all x

42

A general framework

• A global analysis is a tuple (D, V, , F, I), where– D is a direction (forward or backward)

• The order to visit statements within a basic block, not the order in which to visit the basic blocks

– V is a set of values– is a join operator over those values– F is a set of transfer functions f : V V– I is an initial value

• The only difference from local analysis is the introduction of the join operator
