Remove fewer Storage calls in CopyProp and GVN #142531

ohadravid · 2025-06-15T07:51:38Z

Modify the CopyProp and GVN MIR optimization passes to remove fewer Storage{Live,Dead} calls, allowing for better optimizations by LLVM - see #141649.

Details

The idea is to use a new MaybeUninitializedLocals analysis and remove only the storage calls of locals that are maybe-uninit when accessed in a new location.

…try> Remove fewer Storage calls in `copy_prop` Modify the `copy_prop` MIR optimization pass to remove fewer `Storage{Live,Dead}` calls, allowing for better optimizations by LLVM - see #141649. ### Details This is my attempt to fix the mentioned issue (this is the first part, I also implemented a similar solution for GVN in [this branch](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/compare/master...ohadravid:rust:better-storage-calls-gvn-v2?expand=1)). The idea is to use the `MaybeStorageDead` analysis and remove only the storage calls of `head`s that are maybe-storage-dead when the associated `local` is accessed (or, conversely, keep the storage of `head`s that are for-sure alive in _every_ relevant access). When combined with the GVN change, the final example in the issue (#141649 (comment)) is optimized as expected by LLVM. I also measured the effect on a few functions in `rav1d` (where I originally saw the issue) and observed reduced stack usage in several of them. This is my first attempt at working with MIR optimizations, so it's possible this isn't the right approach — but all tests pass, and the resulting diffs appear correct. r? tmiasko since he commented on the issue and pointed to these passes.

Benchmarking this pull request means it may be perf-sensitive – we'll automatically label it not fit for rolling up. You can override this, but we strongly advise not to, due to possible changes in compiler perf.

Next Steps: If you can justify the regressions found in this try perf run, please do so in sufficient writing along with @rustbot label: +perf-regression-triaged. If not, please fix the regressions and do another perf run. If its results are neutral or positive, the label will be automatically removed.

@matthiaskrgr - I updated the impl to stop re-checking once a head is found to be maybe-dead, which should be a bit better

Should this check happen in Replacer::visit_local, and move the replacement of storage statements to a dedicated cleanup visitor?

I'm not sure how to make this work: using ResultsCursor requires a &body, but it's not possible to have that while running a MutVisitor since it requires a &mut body.

Is there a different way to do this?
