Dear all, From what I can gather, there is currently no way for loop strength reduction to target pre- and post-increment addressing modes. This is because the target hook `isLegalAddressingMode` in TargetTransformInfo.h doesn’t allow for pre- and post-increment. There is in fact a comment to that effect on the function prototype: “TODO: handle pre/postinc as well” (see http://llvm.org/docs/doxygen/html/TargetTransformInfo_8h_source.html line 310). So I was wondering: is there a way to w...

Hi, We wrote an optimization that eliminates common sub-expressions in a group of similar GEPs for the NVPTX backend. It speeds up some of our benchmarks by up to 20%, which convinces us to try to upstream it. Here's a brief description of why we wrote this optimization, what we did, and how we did it. Loops in CUDA programs are often extensively unrolled by programmers and compilers,

Hi All, I have a question regarding LLVM backend. I appreciate a lot if anyone can provide some hints. My work here is to avoid base+index address mode for X86 target, to allow base-register only or index-register only address mode. For example, "mov (%rsi), %rbx" is allowed, but "mov (%rsi, %rax), %rbx" is not allowed. I understand LLVM backend is a complex system. Can any

Hi, The target supports indexing by register or immediate. Multiplications are not supported by any load / store instructions. Would it be possible to make LSR aware of this?

I come across a situation that I am having a hard time to understand. When I compile the following code : char *tst( char *dest, const char *src, unsigned int len ) { for (int i=0 ; i<len ; i++) { dest[i] = src[i]; } return dest; } Clang generates this for the ‘for’ body: for.body: ; preds = %for.cond %arrayidx = getelementptr inbounds i8,

...tly on the understanding of the problem, but I got stuck at a more concrete problem. It seems to me that there’s no way to instruct LLVM to adopt a more costly result for the first form, as it would be necessary for my architecture, unless I’m missing something (?). (As a side note: I implemented “isLegalAddressingMode”, but it turned to be virtually identical to the default one except for the smaller immediate sizes, so I think it doesn’t make much difference. Post/Pre increment addressing mode is not supported in my architecture so this is reflected, and I haven’t either added the setIndexedLoadAction calls to...

...release consistent and processor consistent loads in ARMv8.3-A. [r310575](http://reviews.llvm.org/rL310575). * A basic RISCVAsmParser has landed. [r310363](http://reviews.llvm.org/rL310363). * The TargetTransformInfo::isFoldableMemAccess hook has been removed, as its functionality is subsumed by isLegalAddressingMode. [r310463](http://reviews.llvm.org/rL310463). * The AArch64 and ARM backends gained assembler support for the ARMv8.2a dot product instructions.

...it is? After extra formulas are generated, some of them can contain constants that were not in the code before and thus may require an instruction to put them into a register, yet for constants the SetupCost will be 0. On a similar note, are SCEVUnknowns presumed to already have a register? 3. isLegalAddressingMode There are many addressing modes that are legal on Hexagon, yet given a choice, some are preferable to others. LSR treats all of them as equivalent as long as a formula can be folded completely into it. Has anyone thought about making the cost of an addressing mode be more detailed? 4. RateForm...
