update_analyze_test_checks.py is an invaluable tool in updating tests.
Unfortunately, it only supports output from the CostModel,
ScalarEvolution, and LoopVectorize analyses. Many LoopAccessAnalysis
tests use hand-crafted CHECK lines, and it is moreover tedious to
generate these CHECK lines, as the output fom the analysis is not
stable, and requires the test-writer to hand-craft FileCheck matches.
Alleviate this pain, and support output from:
$ opt -passes='print<loop-accesses>'
This patch includes several non-trivial changes including:
- Preserving whitespace at the beginning of the line, so that the LAA
output can be properly indented.
- Regexes matching the unstable output, which is basically a pointer
address hex.
- Separating is_analyze from preserve_names clearly, as the former was
formerly used as an overload for the latter.
To demonstate the utility of this patch, several tests in
LoopAccessAnalysis have been auto-generated by
update_analyze_test_checks.py.
This updates the naming for the LAA printing pass to be in line with
most other analysis printing passes.
The old name has come up as confusing multiple times already, e.g. in
D131924.
Adds new optimization remarks when vectorization fails.
More specifically, new remarks are added for following 4 cases:
- Backward dependency
- Backward dependency that prevents Store-to-load forwarding
- Forward dependency that prevents Store-to-load forwarding
- Unknown dependency
It is important to note that only one of the sources
of failures (to vectorize) is reported by the remarks.
This source of failure may not be first in program order.
A regression test has been added to test the following cases:
a) Loop can be vectorized: No optimization remark is emitted
b) Loop can not be vectorized: In this case an optimization
remark will be emitted for one source of failure.

0a00d64 turned an early exit here into an assertion, but the assertion
can be triggered, as PR52920 shows.
The later code is agnostic to the accessed type, so just drop the
assert. The patch also adds tests for LAA directly and
loop-load-elimination to show the behavior is sane.
