llvm dev - Nov 2008 - [LLVMdev] Shift operation expansion

Hi,

 

My target supports shift with amount 1 only i.e. to shift a value by 5
bits, I need to have a loop with shift in the body. Similarly for the
unknown amount of shift we need to have a loop for shift. 

 

1)       How can I insert this loop in DAG for shift operation?

2)       Is there a way where I can have a call to a function and later
expand to the shift code?

 

Which would be the better way to implement this?

 

Regards

Sachin

You can expand nodes into a serious of instructions, even with control  
flow. Take a look at how the PowerPC target lower atomic operations.  
Look for usesCustomDAGSchedInserter in PPCInstrInfo.td,  
PPCTargetLowering::EmitAtomicBinary.
