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, assignment statements * can be marked as "potentially unused" or as "used". * * When an assignment is visited, it is stored in the "set of all stores" and * added to the branch-dependent "active" sets for the assigned variables. This active * set for a variable contains all statements where that variable was last assigned to, i.e. * where a read from that variable could read from. * Furthermore, all other active sets for the assigned variables are cleared. * * When a reference to a variable is visited, the active assignments to that variable * in the current branch are marked as "used". This mark is permanent. * Also, the active set for this variable in the current branch is cleared. * * At points where control-flow splits, we maintain a copy of the active set * (all other data structures are shared across branches). * * At control-flow joins, we combine the sets of active stores for each variable. * * In the example above, the active set right after the assignment "b := mload(a)" (but before * the control-flow join) is "b := mload(a)"; the assignment "b := 2" was removed. * After the control-flow join it will contain both "b := mload(a)" and "b := 2", coming from * the two branches. * * 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 this takes into account all possible control-flow connections. * * 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" and the set of active statements * is cleared. * * If a function or builtin is called that does not continue, the set of active statements is * cleared for all variables. * * In the second traversal, all assignments that are not marked as "used" 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, std::map _controlFlowSideEffects ): UnusedStoreBase(_dialect), m_controlFlowSideEffects(_controlFlowSideEffects) {} void operator()(Identifier const& _identifier) override; void operator()(Assignment const& _assignment) override; void operator()(FunctionDefinition const&) override; void operator()(FunctionCall const& _functionCall) override; void operator()(Leave const&) override; void operator()(Block const& _block) override; using UnusedStoreBase::visit; void visit(Statement const& _statement) override; private: void shortcutNestedLoop(ActiveStores const& _beforeLoop) override; void finalizeFunctionDefinition(FunctionDefinition const& _functionDefinition) override; void markUsed(YulString _variable); std::set m_returnVariables; std::map m_controlFlowSideEffects; }; }
