Dwarakanath Rajagopal <dwarak.rajagopal@amd.com> * tree-ssa-loop-prefetch.c (gather_memory_references): Introduced a counter for the number of memory references. (anything_to_prefetch_p): Introduced a counter for the number of prefetches. (is_loop_prefetching_profitable): New function with a cost model for prefetching. (loop_prefetch_arrays): Use the new cost model to determine if prefetching is profitable. * params.def (MIN_INSN_TO_PREFETCH_RATIO, PREFETCH_MIN_INSN_TO_MEM_RATIO): New parameters. * params.h (MIN_INSN_TO_PREFETCH_RATIO, PREFETCH_MIN_INSN_TO_MEM_RATIO): New parameters. * doc/invoke.texi (MIN_INSN_TO_PREFETCH_RATIO, PREFETCH_MIN_INSN_TO_MEM_RATIO): New parameters. git-svn-id: svn+ssh://gcc.gnu.org/svn/gcc/trunk@148277 138bc75d-0d04-0410-961f-82ee72b054a4

Whether the compiler should use the ``canonical'' type system. By
default, this should always be 1, which uses a more efficient internal
