I think doing it this way is better than in #51061. Polly has other useful options and we probably don't want to create a -Z flag for each one of them.

Benchmark

I noticed that -lto seems to interfere with polly in this specific microbenchmark, as enabling it causes the perf to drop to that of non-polly builds.

Thanks for the pull request, and welcome! The Rust team is excited to review your changes, and you should hear from @Mark-Simulacrum (or someone else) soon.

If any changes to this PR are deemed necessary, please add them as extra commits. This ensures that the reviewer can see what has changed since they last reviewed the code. Due to the way GitHub handles out-of-date commits, this should also make it reasonably obvious what issues have or haven't been addressed. Large or tricky changes may require several passes of review and changes.

Please see the contribution instructions for more information.

AFAICT, this should not change anything for users not building the compiler locally (and enabling this option).

Hi ! Sory, but how can I use this ? I execute rustup update but I don't have the -C llvm-args=--polly. Thanks

This optimization pass isn't available by default in the the nightly builds. You have to clone the repo, enable it in config.toml and build the compiler.

Hi, I compiled with this flags:

RUSTFLAGS='-Ctarget-feature=+avx512f -Cllvm-args=--polly -Cllvm-args=--polly-vectorizer=stripmine' cargo run --release --bin program
But I find no difference if I take out the -Cllvm-args=--polly -Cllvm-args=--polly-vectorizer=stripmine'.

My program is a N-body algorithm. I'm using jemallocator as default allocator.

Any ideas ? Thank you.

Check the emitted LLVM IR if they're the same. Polly won't vectorize loops if it thinks it's detrimental to performance.

cargo rustc --release -- --emit=llvm-ir
