llvm dev - Jun 2009 - [LLVMdev] Subsuming a memory node of a TargetGlobalAddress with a TargetConstant node

I am trying to removing a load to a TargetGlobalAddress in ISelDagToDag
that my backend does not support. The TargetGlobalAddress is assumed to
always be of ConstantInt or ConstantFP type, so this transformation is
valid. I am correctly able to modify the dag and remove all of the uses
of the node as specified in the attached before and after dot images.
The nodes in question is the CUSTOM_ADD_i32(0x002EDE80) ->
load(0x002EDAC8), but I am not able to figure out how to correctly
modify the chain and point the TokenFactor(0x002EDBD8) node to the
llvm.opencl.other.get.global.id(0x002ED3E0) node so that I can
completely remove the load, undef, and targetglobaladdress nodes.

 

If anyone can give me any hints on how I can do this, it would be
greatly appreciated. I am already creating a target specific constant
and then using DAG->ReplaceAllUsesOfValueWith(Op, SDValue(N, 0)) to
remove the first connect, but I'm not sure how to remove the chain.

 

Thanks for your time,

Micah

A load takes a chain as input and produces a chain as output. While 
removing the load node you can retrieve the incoming chain to load and 
put it where the out chain of load goes to.

In PIC16 backend, we replace "load" with pic16 specific load node
called
"PIC16Load". See if PIC16 code can help.
