This component * respects the control-flow and takes it into account for removal. * * Example: * * { * let a * a := 1 * a := 2 * b := 2 * if calldataload(0) * { * b := mload(a) * } * a := b * } * * In the example, "a := 1" can be removed because the value from this assignment * is not used in any control-flow branch (it is replaced right away). * The assignment "a := 2" is also overwritten by "a := b" at the end, * but there is a control-flow path (through the condition body) which uses * the value from "a := 2" and thus, this assignment cannot be removed. * * Detailed rules: * * The AST is traversed twice: in an information gathering step and in the * actual removal step. During information gathering, we maintain a * mapping from assignment statements to the three states * "unused", "undecided" and "used". * When an assignment is visited, it is added to the mapping in the "undecided" state * (see remark about for loops below) and every other assignment to the same variable * that is still in the "undecided" state is changed to "unused". * When a variable is referenced, the state of any assignment to that variable still * in the "undecided" state is changed to "used". * At points where control flow splits, a copy * of the mapping is handed over to each branch. At points where control flow * joins, the two mappings coming from the two branches are combined in the following way: * Statements that are only in one mapping or have the same state are used unchanged. * Conflicting values are resolved in the following way: * "unused", "undecided" -> "undecided" * "unused", "used" -> "used" * "undecided, "used" -> "used". * * For for-loops, the condition, body and post-part are visited twice, taking * the joining control-flow at the condition into account. * In other words, we create three control flow paths: Zero runs of the loop, * one run and two runs and then combine them at the end. * Running at most twice is enough because there are only three different states. * * Since this algorithm has exponential runtime in the nesting depth of for loops, * a shortcut is taken at a certain nesting level: We only use the zero- and * once-run of the for loop and change any assignment that was newly introduced * in the for loop from to "used". * * For switch statements that have a "default"-case, there is no control-flow * part that skips the switch. * * At ``leave`` statements, all return variables are set to "used". * * When a variable goes out of scope, all statements still in the "undecided" * state are changed to "unused", unless the variable is the return * parameter of a function - there, the state changes to "used". * * In the second traversal, all assignments that are in the "unused" state are removed. * * * This step is usually run right after the SSA transform to complete * the generation of the pseudo-SSA. * * Prerequisite: Disambiguator, ForLoopInitRewriter. */ class UnusedAssignEliminator: public UnusedStoreBase { public: static constexpr char const* name{"UnusedAssignEliminator"}; static void run(OptimiserStepContext&, Block& _ast); explicit UnusedAssignEliminator(Dialect const& _dialect): UnusedStoreBase(_dialect) {} void operator()(Identifier const& _identifier) override; void operator()(VariableDeclaration const& _variableDeclaration) override; void operator()(Assignment const& _assignment) override; void operator()(FunctionDefinition const&) override; void operator()(Leave const&) override; void operator()(Block const& _block) override; using UnusedStoreBase::visit; void visit(Statement const& _statement) override; private: void shortcutNestedLoop(TrackedStores const& _beforeLoop) override; void finalizeFunctionDefinition(FunctionDefinition const& _functionDefinition) override; void changeUndecidedTo(YulString _variable, State _newState); /// Called when a variable goes out of scope.
