llvm dev - Mar 2020 - TableGen Instruction class Uses and Defs

Hello LLVM-Dev,

I understand that Uses and Defs are for implicit registers. Uses is defined as
for using non-operand registers and Defs is defined as for modifying non-operand
registers.

For example, for compare and compare with carry instructions, is my
understanding correct that the instructions should be defined as described
below?
Considering that the carry flag is part of the status register:
Compare - The status register is only listed in the Defs register list since it
modifies the status register.
Compare with carry - The status register is listed in both Defs and Uses
register lists since it refers the status register (Carry flag information) and
modifies it.

With this understanding, am I correct to assume that all "with carry"
instructions lists the status register in the Uses? The status register being
listed in the Defs depends on whether the instruction modifies the status
register or not.

Thank you in advance for your responses, they are highly appreciated.

Sincerely,
Miguel Inigo J. Manalac (1852)

Yes, this is the typical way to define such instructions.

Dear all,

I need to implement the following behavior for all instructions that 
require two source operands:

%1 = add i16 %a, %b

Should match the ADD instruction which has 1 outs and 1 ins. The second 
operand %b should be moved into the implicit register R14 (fixed).
For now I implemented the PseudoADD instruction which gets expanded into 
a move plus the mentioned ADD instruction.
This obviously creates a low of unnecessary moves and prevents any 
optimizations of the register R14 (e.g. R14 could be used as destination 
register in previous operations without the need for a move).

I'd like to transform the dag:

(set GPR:$rd, (add GPR:$rs1, GPR:$rs2))

to something like:

(set R14, GPR:$rs2), (set GPR:$rd, (add GPR:$rs1))

Is it possible to specify this transformation using TableGen? If now how 
could I achieve this?


Thanks.

Best Regards,
Marco Speziali
