Validating Dominator Trees for a Fast, Verified Dominance Test

Résumé

The problem of computing dominators in a control flow graph is central to numerous modern compiler optimizations. Many efficient algorithms have been proposed in the litterature, but mechanizing the correctness of the most sophisticated algorithms is still considered as too hard problems, and to this date, verified compilers use less optimized implementations. In contrast, production compilers, like GCC or LLVM, implement the classic, efficient Lengauer-Tarjan algorithm [12], to compute dominator trees. And subsequent optimization phases can then determine whether a CFG node dominates another node in constant time by using their respective depth-first search numbers in the dominator tree. In this work, we aim at integrating such techniques in verified compilers. We present a formally verified validator of untrusted dominator trees, on top of which we implement and prove correct a fast dominance test following these principles. We conduct our formal development in the Coq proof assistant, and integrate it in the middle-end of the CompCertSSA verified compiler. We also provide experimental results showing performance improvement over previous formalizations.
