search for: instproperti

I want to add a set of "properties" to each instruction in my instruction set, and want to be able to query that in my machine-specific optimizations. My Insts.td file looks as follows : class InstProperty; def propX : InstProperty; def propY : InstProperty; def propZ : InstProperty; class myInst<..., list<InstProperty> props> : Instruction { ... ...

Manjunath, I asked this question recently, but instead of telling you to search the archive I'm going to take it as a chance to recall how to do it (because I'll do so anyway and even telling tablegen to use an enum for instructions is not as trivial to do as you might think : ) I wrote it up in the wiki at http://wiki.llvm.org/HowTo:_Add_arbitrary_properties_to_instructions Regards,

Christian, Thanks for your reply and the wiki entry. I did search the archives, but evidently I didn't search for the right thing. My bad. Anyways, I am still wondering about the other part of my question. Why aren't there Tablegen backends specific to some architecture backends? Let me describe a different scenario. Suppose my architecture has vector and scalar units, and suppose I want
