llvm dev - May 2009 - [LLVMdev] TableGen: NumResults <= 1 restriction

Hi all,

 

i'm working atm on a backend for a processor architecture that is
capable of storing the carry flag of ADDC in an 1-bit register class. So
I tried to lower the ADDC instruction to generate two register values as
result. On the tablegen description of the instruction i came across the
tablegen restriction that only one output result of one instruction is
possible:

 

  assert(NumResults <= 1 &&

         "We only work with nodes with zero or one result so far!");

 

So my question is now how much work it would be to remove this
restriction in tablegen. What do I have to take into consideration?

 

Thanks,

Timo Stripf

I don't know offhand, but this would be a very welcome improvement!

Quoting Chris Lattner <clattner at apple.com>:

Dear staff,
     I am using the ds-aa to pass mysqld. I compile mysqld 4.0.12  
statically (compile all libraries statically to the executable) and  
got the bc file, named it as mysqld.bc3.
     I use the command to pass:

opt -load <poolalloc install dir>/lib/libLLVMDataStructure.so -ds-aa  
mysqld.bc3 -print-alias-sets -disable-output

     However, I got a lot of "cast in ... " on output screen like
this:

cast in strxnmov
         %13 = inttoptr i32 %10 to i8*           ; <i8*> [#uses=1]

     In addition, and pass can not stop for a long time, and the last  
output is the "cast in ... " as above.

Thanks,
Heming
