= Change of WAR, WAW generation: =
- `buildFlow(Sink, MustSource, MaySource, Sink)` treates any flow of the form
`sink <- may source <- must source` as a *may* dependence.
- we used to call:
```lang=cpp, name=old-flow-call.cpp
Flow = buildFlow(MustWrite, MustWrite, Read, Schedule);
WAW = isl_union_flow_get_must_dependence(Flow);
WAR = isl_union_flow_get_may_dependence(Flow);
```
- This caused some WAW dependences to be treated as WAR dependences.
- Incorrect semantics.
- Now, we call WAR and WAW correctly.
== Correct WAW: ==
```lang=cpp, name=new-waw-call.cpp
Flow = buildFlow(Write, MustWrite, MayWrite, Schedule);
WAW = isl_union_flow_get_may_dependence(Flow);
isl_union_flow_free(Flow);
```
== Correct WAR: ==
```lang=cpp, name=new-war-call.cpp
Flow = buildFlow(Write, Read, MustaWrite, Schedule);
WAR = isl_union_flow_get_must_dependence(Flow);
isl_union_flow_free(Flow);
```
- We want the "shortest" WAR possible (exact dependences).
- We mark all the *must-writes* as may-source, reads as must-souce.
- Then, we ask for *must* dependence.
- This removes all the reads that flow through a *must-write*
before reaching a sink.
- Note that we only block ealier writes with *must-writes*. This is
intuitively correct, as we do not want may-writes to block
must-writes.
- Leaves us with direct (R -> W).
- This affects reduction generation since RED is built using WAW and WAR.
= New StrictWAW for Reductions: =
- We used to call:
```lang=cpp,name=old-waw-war-call.cpp
Flow = buildFlow(MustWrite, MustWrite, Read, Schedule);
WAW = isl_union_flow_get_must_dependence(Flow);
WAR = isl_union_flow_get_may_dependence(Flow);
```
- This *is* the right model of WAW we need for reductions, just not in general.
- Reductions need to track only *strict* WAW, without any interfering reductions.
= Explanation: Why the new WAR dependences in tests are correct: =
- We no longer set WAR = WAR - WAW
- Hence, we will have WAR dependences that were originally removed.
- These may look incorrect, but in fact make sense.
== Code: ==
```lang=llvm, name=new-war-dependence.ll
; void manyreductions(long *A) {
; for (long i = 0; i < 1024; i++)
; for (long j = 0; j < 1024; j++)
; S0: *A += 42;
;
; for (long i = 0; i < 1024; i++)
; for (long j = 0; j < 1024; j++)
; S1: *A += 42;
;
```
=== WAR dependence: ===
{ S0[1023, 1023] -> S1[0, 0] }
- Between `S0[1023, 1023]` and `S1[0, 0]`, we will have the dependences:
```lang=cpp, name=dependence-incorrect, counterexample
S0[1023, 1023]:
*-- tmp = *A (load0)--*
WAR 2 add = tmp + 42 |
*-> *A = add (store0) |
WAR 1
S1[0, 0]: |
tmp = *A (load1) |
add = tmp + 42 |
A = add (store1)<-*
```
- One may assume that WAR2 *hides* WAR1 (since store0 happens before
store1). However, within a statement, Polly has no idea about the
ordering of loads and stores.
- Hence, according to Polly, the code may have looked like this:
```lang=cpp, name=dependence-correct
S0[1023, 1023]:
A = add (store0)
tmp = A (load0) ---*
add = A + 42 |
WAR 1
S1[0, 0]: |
tmp = A (load1) |
add = A + 42 |
A = add (store1) <-*
```
- So, Polly generates (correct) WAR dependences. It does not make sense
to remove these dependences, since they are correct with respect to
Polly's model.

ISL 0.16 will change how sets are printed which breaks 117 unit tests
that text-compare printed sets. This patch re-formats most of these unit
tests using a script and small manual editing on top of that. When
actually updating ISL, most work is done by just re-running the script
to adapt to the changed output.
Some tests that compare IR and tests with single CHECK-lines that can be
easily updated manually are not included here.
The re-format script will also be committed afterwards. The per-test
formatter invocation command lines options will not be added in the near
future because it is ad hoc and would overwrite the manual edits.
Ideally it also shouldn't be required anymore because ISL's set printing
has become more stable in 0.16.

These flags are now always passed to all tests and need to be disabled if
not needed. Disabling these flags, rather than passing them to almost all
tests, significantly simplfies our RUN: lines.

We rename the Dependences pass to DependenceInfo as a first step to a
caching pass policy. The new DependenceInfo pass will later provide
"Dependences" for a SCoP.
To keep consistency the test folder is renamed too.
