The -polly-flatten-schedule pass reduces the number of scattering
dimensions in its isl_union_map form to make them easier to understand.
It is not meant to be used in production, only for debugging and
regression tests.
To illustrate, how it can make sets simpler, here is a lifetime set
used computed by the porposed DeLICM pass without flattening:
{ Stmt_reduction_for[0, 4] -> [0, 2, o2, o3] : o2 < 0;
Stmt_reduction_for[0, 4] -> [0, 1, o2, o3] : o2 >= 5;
Stmt_reduction_for[0, 4] -> [0, 1, 4, o3] : o3 > 0;
Stmt_reduction_for[0, i1] -> [0, 1, i1, 1] : 0 <= i1 <= 3;
Stmt_reduction_for[0, 4] -> [0, 2, 0, o3] : o3 <= 0 }
And here the same lifetime for a semantically identical one-dimensional
schedule:
{ Stmt_reduction_for[0, i1] -> [2 + 3i1] : 0 <= i1 <= 4 }
