如何删除 LLVM 中的无条件分支?

how to remove an unconditonal branch in LLVM?

我想从函数中删除多余的无条件分支。在下面的示例中,我想删除 br label %26 并将它们合并到一个基本块中。

; <label>:9:                                      ; preds = %7
  %10 = fadd float %5, %8
  %11 = fmul float %5, %8
  %12 = fadd float %10, %11
  %13 = fdiv float %5, %8
  %14 = fadd float %13, %12
  br label %15

; <label>:15:                                     ; preds = %9
  br label %26

我试图通过

做到这一点
for(auto it1 = F.begin(); it1 != F.end(); it1++){
    BasicBlock& bb = *it1;
    auto BI = dyn_cast<BranchInst>(bb.getTerminator());
    if(BI && BI->isUnconditional() && bb.size() == 1){

        for (BasicBlock *pred : predecessors(&bb)) {
            auto predBI = dyn_cast<BranchInst>(pred->getTerminator());
            if(predBI && predBI->isUnconditional()){
                    predBI->setSuccessor(0, bb.getSingleSuccessor());
                    BI->dropAllReferences();
                    BI->removeFromParent();
            }
        }
    } 

}

但这给了我一个错误。我正在使用 LLVM 6.0.0

您可能对 llvm/Transform/Utils/BasicBlockUtils.h 文件中定义的 llvm::MergeBlockIntoPredecessor() 效用函数感兴趣。

https://llvm.org/doxygen/BasicBlockUtils_8h.html

我重复使用了 llvm/Transform/Utils/BasicBlockUtils.h 中的代码并且它起作用了。

for(auto it1 = F.begin(); it1 != F.end(); it1++){
    BasicBlock* BB = &*it1;
    auto BI = dyn_cast<BranchInst>(BB->getTerminator());
    if(BI && BI->isUnconditional() && BB->size() == 1){
        // code taken from BasicBlockUtils
        auto PredBB = BB->getUniquePredecessor();
        if(PredBB){
            PredBB->getInstList().pop_back();
            BB->replaceAllUsesWith(PredBB);
            PredBB->getInstList().splice(PredBB->end(), BB->getInstList());

            if (!PredBB->hasName())
                PredBB->takeName(BB);

            it1 = BB->eraseFromParent();

        }
    } 
}
