Hi:

I hope to cut all backedges of MachineFunction CFG, then topological sort MachineBasicBlocks.

1. MachineDominatorTree *domintree = new MachineDominatorTree();
domintree->runOnMachineFunction(mf);

2. Then travel mf one by one.
When domintree->dominates(next,current) is true, there is a backedge from current node to next node. move this backedge form CFG.

But I find A LOOP in some CFG, there is backedge from current to next, dominates function reture "FALSE". So my algorithm find Graph can not be
toplogical sort.

3. how do I find all backedges of CFG???

Thanks
renkun

For non-reducible graphs (as is the case for your example), it is no
longer true that the target of a back-edge dominates the source.

If you want back-edges, just do a depth-first search of the CFG, the
back-edges are the edges going to an already processed node. If you
want loop-edges (edges going to loop headers, that is more generic
than back-edges), you'll need to build the loop nesting forest.

Cheers,

Benoit

Dear Benoit:

Thanks for your answer.

Best Regards.

Hi, Dear Boissinot:

1. When I have irreducible CFG, I travel its nodes by DFS.
search backedge for every node. After I finish one node,
push it into a stack.
[0, 1, 2, M] <---push.
[0, 1, 2, M,...N] <---push.

When resolving node M, find a edge from node N to node M,
N is not in stack(M < N), It is a backedge.
N is in stack(M > N), It is NOT a backedge.

I treat these backedges as loop-edges. M is Loop header node.
If I cut these edges from CFG, CFG can be topological sort.

Am I right???

yes, exactly.
