[llvm-dev] [LLVMdev] TableGen Register Class not matching for MI in 3.6
Essentially it doesn't appear that the reg class assignment is based on uses and is instead inserting an extra COPY for this. Is this accurate? If so, why? In this above example, I'm getting an extra "mov %r0, $b1" (this is an MI::COPY) even though "mov @a, %b1" (this is an MI::MOV) is entirely acceptable since both GPRRegs and BaseRegs are in the reg class list.. If the heuristic is simply picking the first available reg class or the reg class with the most available, for example, instead of picking the reg class based on uses, I will have to change this heuristic to reduce code bloat, or we'll have to add backend passes to reduce the code bloat. Thanks.

There are not per say passes to reduce this "code bloat” since we never encounter this problem in practice. The peephole optimizer has some logic to avoid this move and CodeGenPrepare also does a few transformation to avoid some of that.

[llvm-dev] [LLVMdev] TableGen Register Class not matching for MI in 3.6
It seems the problem arises from using multiple reg classes for one MI in the td file, I guess. I'm not sure it takes first available, if I swap the reg classes in the list it does not change and if I replace the GPR reg class with something different than it picks the base reg class fine, potentially it is using the reg class with most available? idk. I just need to create MIs for every possible case I guess. Thanks for the help! :) On Wed, Aug 19, 2015 at 12:04 PM, Quentin Colombet <qcolombet at apple.com> wrote:> Hi Ryan, > > On Aug 19, 2015, at 6:35 AM, Ryan Taylor via llvm-dev < > llvm-dev at lists.llvm.org> wrote: > > Essentially it doesn't appear that the reg class assignment is based on > uses and is instead inserting an extra COPY for this.
