testcase like this:
int %test(int* %P, int %A) {
%Pv = load int* %P
%B = add int %A, %Pv
ret int %B
}
We now generate:
test:
mov %ECX, DWORD PTR [%ESP + 4]
mov %EAX, DWORD PTR [%ESP + 8]
add %EAX, DWORD PTR [%ECX]
ret
Instead of:
test:
mov %EAX, DWORD PTR [%ESP + 4]
mov %ECX, DWORD PTR [%ESP + 8]
mov %EAX, DWORD PTR [%EAX]
add %EAX, %ECX
ret
... saving one instruction, and often a register. Note that there are a lot
of other instructions that could use this, but they aren't handled. I'm not
really interested in adding them, but mul/div and all of the FP instructions
could be supported as well if someone wanted to add them.

been using the default target data layout object to lower malloc instructions,
causing us to allocate more memory than we needed! This could improve the
performance of the CBE generated code substantially!

(16) into certain areas of the SPARC V9 back-end. I'm fairly sure the US IIIi's
dcache has 32-byte lines, so I'm not sure where the 16 came from. However, in
the interest of not breaking things any more than they already are, I'm going
to leave the constant alone.

of generating this code:
mov %EAX, 4
mov DWORD PTR [%ESP], %EAX
mov %AX, 123
movsx %EAX, %AX
mov DWORD PTR [%ESP + 4], %EAX
call Y
we now generate:
mov DWORD PTR [%ESP], 4
mov DWORD PTR [%ESP + 4], 123
call Y
Which hurts the eyes less. :)
Considering that register pressure around call sites is already high (with all
of the callee clobber registers n stuff), this may help a lot.

1) For 8-bit registers try to use first the ones that are parts of the
same register (AL then AH). This way we only alias 2 16/32-bit
registers after allocating 4 8-bit variables.
2) Move EBX as the last register to allocate. This will cause less
spills to happen since we will have 8-bit registers available up to
register excaustion (assuming we use the allocation order). It
would be nice if we could push all of the 8-bit aliased registers
towards the end but we much prefer to keep callee saved register to
the end to avoid saving them on entry and exit of the function.
For example this gives a slight reduction of spills with linear scan
on 164.gzip.
Before:
11221 asm-printer - Number of machine instrs printed
975 spiller - Number of loads added
675 spiller - Number of stores added
398 spiller - Number of register spills
After:
11182 asm-printer - Number of machine instrs printed
952 spiller - Number of loads added
652 spiller - Number of stores added
386 spiller - Number of register spills

their names more decriptive. A name consists of the base name, a
default operand size followed by a character per operand with an
optional special size. For example:
ADD8rr -> add, 8-bit register, 8-bit register
IMUL16rmi -> imul, 16-bit register, 16-bit memory, 16-bit immediate
IMUL16rmi8 -> imul, 16-bit register, 16-bit memory, 8-bit immediate
MOVSX32rm16 -> movsx, 32-bit register, 16-bit memory
llvm-svn: 11995
parse. The name is now I (operand size)*. For example:
Im32 -> instruction with 32-bit memory operands.
Im16i8 -> instruction with 16-bit memory operands and 8 bit immediate
operands.
