The tile directive is in OpenMP's Technical Report 8 and foreseeably will be part of the upcoming OpenMP 5.1 standard. This implementation is based on an AST transformation providing a de-sugared loop nest. This makes it simple to forward the de-sugared transformation to loop associated directives taking the tiled loops. In contrast to other loop associated directives, the OMPTileDirective does not use CapturedStmts. Letting loop associated directives consume loops from different capture context would be difficult. A significant amount of code generation logic is taking place in the Sema class. Eventually, I would prefer if these would move into the CodeGen component such that we could make use of the OpenMPIRBuilder, together with flang. Only expressions converting between the language's iteration variable and the logical iteration space need to take place in the semantic analyzer: Getting the of iterations (e.g. the overload resolution of `std::distance`) and converting the logical iteration number to the iteration variable (e.g. overload resolution of `iteration + .omp.iv`). In clang, only CXXForRangeStmt is also represented by its de-sugared components. However, OpenMP loop are not defined as syntatic sugar. Starting with an AST-based approach allows us to gradually move generated AST statements into CodeGen, instead all at once. I would also like to refactor `checkOpenMPLoop` into its functionalities in a follow-up. In this patch it is used twice. Once for checking proper nesting and emitting diagnostics, and additionally for deriving the logical iteration space per-loop (instead of for the loop nest).

IRgen optimization opportunities. //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===// The common pattern of -- short x; // or char, etc (x == 10) -- generates an zext/sext of x which can easily be avoided. //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===// Bitfields accesses can be shifted to simplify masking and sign extension. For example, if the bitfield width is 8 and it is appropriately aligned then is is a lot shorter to just load the char directly. //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===// It may be worth avoiding creation of alloca's for formal arguments for the common situation where the argument is never written to or has its address taken. The idea would be to begin generating code by using the argument directly and if its address is taken or it is stored to then generate the alloca and patch up the existing code. In theory, the same optimization could be a win for block local variables as long as the declaration dominates all statements in the block. NOTE: The main case we care about this for is for -O0 -g compile time performance, and in that scenario we will need to emit the alloca anyway currently to emit proper debug info. So this is blocked by being able to emit debug information which refers to an LLVM temporary, not an alloca. //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===// We should try and avoid generating basic blocks which only contain jumps. At -O0, this penalizes us all the way from IRgen (malloc & instruction overhead), all the way down through code generation and assembly time. On 176.gcc:expr.ll, it looks like over 12% of basic blocks are just direct branches! //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
