LoopVectorize - determine the bounds of the original loop

Project Infrastructure LLVM Dev List Archives

Hello.
     Is there an easy way to obtain in the LoopVectorize module the upper and lower bounds of the loop being vectorized - I wasn't really able to find in the original code of LoopVectorize code calculating these bounds, although I know this module quite well and I am wondering if maybe they are already computed. (I put a similar question at http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2016-August/103988.html ) .

     I have to admit I don't know well the ScalarEvolution class but I think I can also use ScalarEvolution's getUnsignedRangeMax() and getUnsignedRangeMin(), but these are newer methods added to ScalarEvolution in the last months and I normally work on an older LLVM trunk.

     Any help would be appreciated.

   Thank you,
     Alex

Hi Alex,

Did you take a look at ScalarEvolution::getBackedgeTakenCount() ?
