| + | ==== Worklist Algorithm and Iteration Strategies ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Observation: in practice $H_i(g_1,\ldots,g_n)$ depends only on small number of $g_j$, namely predecessors of node $p_i$ | ||
| + | |||
| + | Consequence: if we chose $i$, next time it suffices to look at successors of $i$ (saves traversing CFG) | ||
| + | |||
| + | This leads to a worklist algorithm: | ||
| + | * initialize lattice, put all equations in worklist | ||
| + | * choose $i$, find new $g_i$, remove $i$ from worklist | ||
| + | * if $g_i$ has changed, update it and add to worklist $j$ for $p_j$ successor of $p_i$ | ||
| + | |||
| + | Algorithm terminates when worklist is empty (no more changes) | ||
| + | |||
| + | Useful iteration strategy: reverse postorder and strongly connected components | ||
| + | |||
| + | Reverse postorder: follow changes through successors in the graph | ||
| + | |||
| + | Strongly connected component (SCC) of a directed graph: path between each two nodes of component. | ||
| + | * compute until fixpoint within each SCC | ||
