The place where different compilers implement the loop transformations
was discussed in an OpenMP loop transformation meeting last year. Two
compilers (another one and GCC with this patch series) transformed the
loops in the middle end after the handling of data sharing, one planned
to do so. Yet another vendor had not yet decided where it will be
implemented. Clang currently does everything in the front end, but it
was mentioned that this might change in the future e.g. for code sharing
with Flang. Implementing the loop transformations late could potentially
complicate the implementation of transformations which require
adjustments of the data sharing clauses, but this is known and
consequentially, no such transformations are planned for OpenMP 6.0. In
particular, the "apply" clause therefore only permits loop-transforming
constructs to be applied to the loops generated from other loop
transformations in TR11.

The patches in this patch series already do compute how many canonical
loop nests result from the loop transformations in the front end.
This is necessary to represent the loop nest that is affected by the
loop transformations by a single OMP_FOR to meet the expectations
of all later OpenMP code transformations. This is also the major
reason why the loop transformations are represented by clauses
instead of representing them as "OMP_UNROLL/OMP_TILE as
GENERIC constructs like OMP_FOR" as you suggest below. Since the
loop transformations may also appear on inner loops of a collapsed
loop nest (i.e. within the collapsed depth), representing the
transformation by OMP_FOR-like constructs would imply that a collapsed
loop nest would have to be broken apart into single loops. Perhaps this
could be handled somehow, but the collapsed loop nest would have to be
re-assembled to meet the expectations of e.g. gimplification.
The clause representation is also much better suited for the upcoming
OpenMP "apply" clause where the transformations will not appear
as directives in front of actual loops but inside of other clauses.
In fact, the loop transformation clauses in the implementation already
specify the level of a loop nest to which they apply and it could
be possible to re-use this handling for "apply".
My initial reaction also was to implement the loop transformations
as OMP_FOR-like constructs and the patch actually introduces an
OMP_LOOP_TRANS construct which is used to represent loops that
are not going to be associated with another OpenMP directive after
the transformation, e.g.
void foo () {
#pragma omp tile sizes (4, 8, 16)
for (int i = 0; i < 64; ++i)
{
...
}
}
You suggest to implement the loop transformations during gimplification.
I am not sure if gimplification is actually well-suited to implement the
depth-first evaluation of the loop transformations. I also believe that
gimplification already handles too many things which conceptually are
not related to the translation to GIMPLE. Having a separate pass seems
to be the right move to achieve a better separation of concerns. I think
this will be even more important in the future as the size of the loop
transformation implementation keeps growing. As you mention below,
several new constructs are already planned.

Correct, more transformations are planned. I have been following the
design discussions and I do not think that any of those constructs will
cause problems to the implementation contained in this patch series. Or
do you see one that would be problematic?

You are right, this is valid and the implementation in this patch series
is able to cope with this. The patches contain corresponding tests. The
most extensive testing for different combinations of loop
transformations, collapse values, and other directives is done in the
libgomp/testsuite/libgomp.c-c++-common/loop-transforms/matrix-* tests.

You are right and this happens in the implementation. The front ends
extend the "collapse" (i.e. the loop nest depth) of the OMP_FOR-like
constructs as necessary for the transformations (and rejects invalid
combinations, e.g. "collapse" larger than the tiled depth, early) and
the transformation pass reduces the "collapse" of the gomp_for to the
value requested by the user code after the transformations have been
executed.

I think it is able to handle everything, as I described above.
