Currently the transformation of a long counted loop into a loop nest
with an inner int counted loop is performed in 2 steps:
1- recognize the counted loop shape and build the loop nest
2- transform the inner loop into a counted loop
I propose changing this to a 3 steps process:
1- recognize the counted loop shape (transform the loop into a LongCountedLoop)
2- build the loop nest
3- transform the inner loop into a counted loop
The benefits are:
- the logic is cleaner because step 1 and 2 are now separated
- Simple optimizations (loop iv type, empty loop elimination, parallel
iv) can be implemented for LongCountedLoop by refactoring existing
code
1- above is achieved by refactoring the
PhaseIdealLoop::is_counted_loop() so it takes an extra parameter (the
kind of counted loop, int or long).
2- is the existing loop nest construction logic. But now that it takes
a LongCountedLoop as input, the shape of the loop is known to be that
of a canonicalized counted loop. As a result, the loop nest
construction is simpler.
This change also refactors PhiNode::Value() so that it works for both
CountedLoop and LongCountedLoop.
I also changed ConvL2INode to be a TypeNode (ConvI2LNode is a type
node) and:
jlong init_p = (jlong)init_t->_lo + stride_con;
if (init_p > (jlong)max_jint || init_p > (jlong)limit_t->_hi)
return false; // cyclic loop or this loop trips only once
to:
if (init_t->lo_as_long() > max_signed_integer(iv_bt) - stride_con) {
because if the loop has a single iteration transforming it to a
CountedLoop should allow the backedge to be optimized out.
