I ended up settling on a scheme which I'm not completely happy with but
it's the best I can see to do.
const MCInstrDesc& AddiuSpImm(int64_t Imm) const;
and then
if (isInt<16>(-Remainder))
BuildMI(MBB, I, DL, AddiuSpImm(-Remainder)).addImm(-Remainder);
So the AddiuSpImm choses which instruction description to use depending
on the immediate value and then I'm adding rest of the instruction.
I think that probably I could make a template class based on
MachineInstrBuilder but it's more work than I have time to do right now.
I don't like the fact that I'm repeating -Remainder. If I make a single
builder function then it does not have that problem but them I'm
restricted to having that one builder function.
Maybe I should just keep the builder function I have an layer it on this
new one; and just add additional builder functions as needed.

Hi Reed, You may find how ARM does this a useful reference. It's not the prettiest code in the world, but it is roughly analogous to the problem you're trying to solve, so it may be useful. In particular, have a look at emitT2RegPlusImmediate() and emitARMRegPlusImmediate() and the helper functions they call. -Jim On Feb 16, 2013, at 1:59 AM, Reed Kotler <rkotler at mips.com> wrote:> I ended up settling on a scheme which I'm not completely happy with but it's the best I can see to do. > > const MCInstrDesc& AddiuSpImm(int64_t Imm) const; > > and then > > if (isInt<16>(-Remainder)) > BuildMI(MBB, I, DL, AddiuSpImm(-Remainder)).addImm(-Remainder); > > So the AddiuSpImm choses which instruction description to use depending on the immediate value and then I'm adding rest of the instruction. > > I think that probably I could make a template class based on MachineInstrBuilder but it's more work than I have time to do right now. > > I don't like the fact that I'm repeating -Remainder.
