liveanalysis is a liveness analysis pass built to be used with the SUIF2/
MachSUIF2 compiler infrastructure. This pass generates a textual representation
for the liveness information in a given control-flow graph. It reports the
live-in and live-out sets, while the kill and gen set can also be reported by
setting the REPORT_KILL_GEN_SET compile-time switch.
This pass uses the cfa, bvd and machine libraries of Machine-SUIF. It works for
the SUIFvm instruction set as well as other MachSUIF backends. The
liveanalysis pass has been tested with MachSUIF 2.02.07.15.
The liveanalysis distribution includes the following files:
| /liveanalysis | Top-level directory |
| AUTHORS | List of liveanalysis authors. |
| LICENSE | The modified BSD license governs liveanalysis. |
| README.rst | This file. |
| README.html | HTML version of README. |
| README.pdf | PDF version of README. |
| VERSION | Current version of the project sources. |
| liveanalysis.cpp | Implementation of the liveanalysis pass. |
| liveanalysis.h | C++ header file containing declarations and prototypes for the above. |
| rst2docs.sh | Bash script for generating the HTML and PDF versions of the documentation (README). |
| suif_main.cpp | Entry point for building the standalone program
do_liveanalysis that implements the pass. |
| suif_pass.cpp | Define the SUIF pass built as the dynamically
loadable library libliveanalysis.so. |
| suif_main.h | C++ header file for the above. |
Unpack the liveanalysis archive wherever you like, e.g. in
$MACHSUIFHOME/cfa/liveanalysis. You don't need to modify anything in the
Makefile, if you have a working MachSUIF 2 installation.
The program binary (do_liveanalysis) will be installed at $NCIHOME/bin
and the shared library (libliveanalysis.so) at $NCIHOME/solib, where
NCIHOME is the SUIF 2 top-level directory.
The pass accepts an input file in CFG form to operate. Textual output is generated, written to stdout by default.
Usage synopsys:
$ do_liveanalysis test.cfg
