Support dataflow problems on arbitrary lattices This PR implements last of the proposed extensions I mentioned in the design meeting for the original dataflow refactor. It extends the current dataflow framework to work with arbitrary lattices, not just `BitSet`s. This is a prerequisite for dataflow-enabled MIR const-propagation. Personally, I am skeptical of the usefulness of doing const-propagation pre-monomorphization, since many useful constants only become known after monomorphization (e.g. `size_of::<T>()`) and users have a natural tendency to hand-optimize the rest. It's probably worth exprimenting with, however, and others have shown interest cc `@rust-lang/wg-mir-opt.` The `Idx` associated type is moved from `AnalysisDomain` to `GenKillAnalysis` and replaced with an associated `Domain` type that must implement `JoinSemiLattice`. Like before, each `Analysis` defines the "bottom value" for its domain, but can no longer override the dataflow join operator. Analyses that want to use set intersection must now use the `lattice::Dual` newtype. `GenKillAnalysis` impls have an additional requirement that `Self::Domain: BorrowMut<BitSet<Self::Idx>>`, which effectively means that they must use `BitSet<Self::Idx>` or `lattice::Dual<BitSet<Self::Idx>>` as their domain. Most of these changes were mechanical. However, because a `Domain` is no longer always a powerset of some index type, we can no longer use an `IndexVec<BasicBlock, GenKillSet<A::Idx>>>` to store cached block transfer functions. Instead, we use a boxed `dyn Fn` trait object. I discuss a few alternatives to the current approach in a commit message. The majority of new lines of code are to preserve existing Graphviz diagrams for those unlucky enough to have to debug dataflow analyses. I find these diagrams incredibly useful when things are going wrong and considered regressing them unacceptable, especially the pretty-printing of `MovePathIndex`s, which are used in many dataflow analyses. This required a parallel `fmt` trait used only for printing dataflow domains, as well as a refactoring of the `graphviz` module now that we cannot expect the domain to be a `BitSet`. Some features did have to be removed, such as the gen/kill display mode (which I didn't use but existed to mirror the output of the old dataflow framework) and line wrapping. Since I had to rewrite much of it anyway, I took the opportunity to switch to a `Visitor` for printing dataflow state diffs instead of using cursors, which are error prone for code that must be generic over both forward and backward analyses. As a side-effect of this change, we no longer have quadratic behavior when writing graphviz diagrams for backward dataflow analyses. r? `@pnkfelix` |
