aggressively coallesce live ranges even if they overlap. Consider this LLVM
code for example:
int %test(int %X) {
%Y = mul int %X, 1 ;; Codegens to Y = X
%Z = add int %X, %Y
ret int %Z
}
The mul is just there to get a copy into the code stream. This produces
this machine code:
(0x869e5a8, LLVM BB @0x869b9a0):
%reg1024 = mov <fi#-2>, 1, %NOREG, 0 ;; "X"
%reg1025 = mov %reg1024 ;; "Y" (subsumed by X)
%reg1026 = add %reg1024, %reg1025
%EAX = mov %reg1026
ret
Note that the life times of reg1024 and reg1025 overlap, even though they
contain the same value. This results in this machine code:
test:
mov %EAX, DWORD PTR [%ESP + 4]
mov %ECX, %EAX
add %EAX, %ECX
ret
Another, worse case involves loops and PHI nodes. Consider this trivial loop:
testcase:
int %test2(int %X) {
entry:
br label %Loop
Loop:
%Y = phi int [%X, %entry], [%Z, %Loop]
%Z = add int %Y, 1
%cond = seteq int %Z, 100
br bool %cond, label %Out, label %Loop
Out:
ret int %Z
}
Because of interactions between the PHI elimination pass and the register
allocator, this got compiled to this code:
test2:
mov %ECX, DWORD PTR [%ESP + 4]
.LBBtest2_1:
*** mov %EAX, %ECX
inc %EAX
cmp %EAX, 100
*** mov %ECX, %EAX
jne .LBBtest2_1
ret
Or on powerpc, this code:
_test2:
mflr r0
stw r0, 8(r1)
stwu r1, -60(r1)
.LBB_test2_1:
addi r2, r3, 1
cmpwi cr0, r2, 100
*** or r3, r2, r2
bne cr0, .LBB_test2_1
*** or r3, r2, r2
lwz r0, 68(r1)
mtlr r0
addi r1, r1, 60
blr 0
With this improvement in place, we now generate this code for these two
testcases, which is what we want:
test:
mov %EAX, DWORD PTR [%ESP + 4]
add %EAX, %EAX
ret
test2:
mov %EAX, DWORD PTR [%ESP + 4]
.LBBtest2_1:
inc %EAX
cmp %EAX, 100
jne .LBBtest2_1 # Loop
ret
Or on PPC:
_test2:
mflr r0
stw r0, 8(r1)
stwu r1, -60(r1)
.LBB_test2_1:
addi r3, r3, 1
cmpwi cr0, r3, 100
bne cr0, .LBB_test2_1
lwz r0, 68(r1)
mtlr r0
addi r1, r1, 60
blr 0
