For code like this:
define <8 x i32> @load_v8i32() {
ret <8 x i32> <i32 7, i32 0, i32 0, i32 0, i32 0, i32 0, i32 0, i32 0>
}
We produce this AVX code:
_load_v8i32: ## @load_v8i32
movl $7, %eax
vmovd %eax, %xmm0
vxorps %ymm1, %ymm1, %ymm1
vblendps $1, %ymm0, %ymm1, %ymm0 ## ymm0 = ymm0[0],ymm1[1,2,3,4,5,6,7]
retq
There are at least 2 bugs in play here:
We're generating a blend when a move scalar does the same job using 2 less instruction bytes (see FIXMEs).
We're not matching an existing pattern that would eliminate the xor and blend entirely. The zero bytes are free with vmovd.
The 2nd fix involves an adjustment of "AddedComplexity" [1] and mostly masks the 1st problem.
[1] AddedComplexity has close to no documentation in the source.
The best we have is this comment: "roughly corresponds to the number of nodes that are covered".
It appears that x86 has bastardized this definition by inflating its values for some other
undocumented reason. For example, we have a pattern with "AddedComplexity = 400" (!).
