This patch implements an optimization to inline small memchr calls into a sequence of loads and comparisons when the length is below a threshold. This allows better optimization of small string searches. The implementation: Adds support for inlining memchr calls with constant length, introduces a memchr-inline-threshold parameter (default: 6), and adds test coverage for small memchr operations. Differential Revision: (pending)

@llvm/pr-subscribers-llvm-transforms Author: None (natedal) ChangesThis patch optimizes memchr calls with small searches by replacing them with a loop that manually checks each byte. This eliminates unnecessary function calls, improving performance for small search sizes. Full diff: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/130525.diff 4 Files Affected:

This patch implements an optimization to inline small memchr calls into a sequence of loads and comparisons when the length is below a threshold. This allows better optimization of small string searches. The implementation: Adds support for inlining memchr calls with constant length, introduces a memchr-inline-threshold parameter (default: 6), and adds test coverage for small memchr operations.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
What is the purpose of increasing this threshold to 6?
There was a problem hiding this comment.
I initially set the threshold to 6 to match the test cases in memchr.ll, which test the inlining optimization for lengths up to 5 bytes. Would you recommend keeping it at 3 to be more conservative?
There was a problem hiding this comment.
I suggest keeping it at 3 if you do not have some performance data on llvm-test-suite/SPEC.

I suggest keeping it at 3 if you do not have some performance data on llvm-test-suite/SPEC.

I think it is dangerous to put these load instructions in a basic block.
Consider the following case:
const char *arr = "a";
return memchr(arr, 'a', 3);
It is well-defined because it returns at the first occurrence.
After this transformation, we transform this call into three loads, which causes out-of-bound
memory access.
See also https://en.cppreference.com/w/c/string/byte/memchr.
To avoid UB, we should transform this call into a if chain.
BTW, your implementation returns the last occurrence of ch :(

This patch optimizes memchr calls with small searches by replacing them with a loop that manually checks each byte. This eliminates unnecessary function calls, improving performance for small search sizes.
