pub struct ReferencePropagation;
Expand description

Propagate references using SSA analysis.

MIR building may produce a lot of borrow-dereference patterns.

This pass aims to transform the following pattern: _1 = &raw? mut? PLACE; _3 = *_1; _4 = &raw? mut? *_1;

Into _1 = &raw? mut? PLACE; _3 = PLACE; _4 = &raw? mut? PLACE;

where PLACE is a direct or an indirect place expression.

There are 3 properties that need to be upheld for this transformation to be legal:

  • place stability: PLACE must refer to the same memory wherever it appears;
  • pointer liveness: we must not introduce dereferences of dangling pointers;
  • &mut borrow uniqueness.

§Stability

If PLACE is an indirect projection, if its of the form (*LOCAL).PROJECTIONS where:

  • LOCAL is SSA;
  • all projections in PROJECTIONS have a stable offset (no dereference and no indexing).

If PLACE is a direct projection of a local, we consider it as constant if:

  • the local is always live, or it has a single StorageLive;
  • all projections have a stable offset.

§Liveness

When performing an instantiation, we must take care not to introduce uses of dangling locals. To ensure this, we walk the body with the MaybeStorageDead dataflow analysis:

  • if we want to replace *x by reborrow *y and y may be dead, we allow replacement and mark storage statements on y for removal;
  • if we want to replace *x by non-reborrow y and y must be live, we allow replacement;
  • if we want to replace *x by non-reborrow y and y may be dead, we do not replace.

§Uniqueness

For &mut borrows, we also need to preserve the uniqueness property: we must avoid creating a state where we interleave uses of *_1 and _2. To do it, we only perform full instantiation of mutable borrows: we replace either all or none of the occurrences of *_1.

Some care has to be taken when _1 is copied in other locals. _1 = &raw? mut? _2; _3 = *_1; _4 = _1 _5 = *_4 In such cases, fully instantiating _1 means fully instantiating all of the copies.

For immutable borrows, we do not need to preserve such uniqueness property, so we perform all the possible instantiations without removing the _1 = &_2 statement.
