Legalising seems to lose critical information needed for lowering return values properly?
I'm a new LLVM developer contributing patches for the AVR platform and I'm trying to understand which parts of the code base are malfunctioning in my case. This LLVM IR... define hidden i32 @setServoAngle3(i32) local_unnamed_addr { entry: %1 = call i32 @myExternalFunction1(i32 %0, i32 119) ret i32 %1 } declare i32 @myExternalFunction1(i32, i32) Is being lowered to this assembly

Strange behaviour of post-legalising optimisations(?)
Hi Tim, Thank you for your reply. It actually helped a lot to narrow the issue, as previously I didn’t even know where to look. I have been following the code in the debugger, specially the LSRInstance::SolveRecurse function. This function traverses recursively all possible ‘Formulae’, and determines the best instruction combination for the loop generation, based on minimal cost. The

What should a truncating store do?
OK, I'm clear on scalars. Data races are thankfully OK in this context. Densely packing vectors sounds efficient and is clear in the case where lanes * width is a multiple of 8 bits. I don't think I understand how it works in other cases. If we could take store <4 x i8> truncating to <4 x i7> as an example. This can be converted into four scalar i8 -> i7 stores with

[8.0.0 Release] rc1 has been tagged
Alex, ping? There was a thread about moving Risc-V out of experimental but I think it didn't go anywhere? Separately, do the listed patches sound okay for merging?

Strange behaviour of post-legalising optimisations(?)
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,

[RFC][SVE] Extend vector types to support SVE registers.
Hi, I would like to restart the conversation regarding adding SVE support to LLVM. This time I am framing things from the code generation point of view because our immediate priority is llvm-mc support rather than auto-vectorisation. Can you please review the following text outlining MVT changes we would like to make so SVE instructions can be added to the AArch64 Target. My overriding

[LLVMdev] New backend help request.
I'm trying to figure out how to map more complex CISC instructions now. For example on the 68000, you have things like -- add.w (a0)+,(a1)+ So that equates to: temp1 = load a0 add 2, a0 temp2 = load a1 temp1 = add temp1, temp2 store temp1, a1 add 2, a1 How do I express that in a form for LLVM? I see things like pre_store and post_store, but I cant find anything in the way of documentation

[LLVMdev] [PATCH] Add a Scalarize pass
Hi Richard, Thanks for working on this. We should probably move this discussion to llvm-dev because it is not strictly related to the patch review anymore. The code below is not representative of general c/c++ code. Usually only domain specific language (such as OpenCL) contain vector instructions. The LLVM pass manager configuration (pass manager builder) is designed for C/C++ compilers, not

[LLVMdev] supporting SAD in loop vectorizer
Nadav and other vectorizer folks- Is there any plan to support special idioms in the loop vectorizer like sum of absolute difference (SAD) ? We see some useful cases where llvm is losing performance at -O3 due to SADs not being vectorized (hence PSADBWs not being generated). Also, since the abs() call is already lowered to a sequence of 'icmp; neg; select' by simplifylibcalls (in -O3),

Options for custom CCState, CCAssignFn, and GlobalISel
This question came about through reviewing work from Leslie Zhai on GlobalISel support for RISC-V, which also motivated me to revisit code which I've always felt was a bit clunky. Calling convention lowering in LLVM is typically handled by functions conforming to the CCAssignFn typedef: typedef bool CCAssignFn(unsigned ValNo, MVT ValVT, MVT LocVT,

AVR is little endian, but requires function arguments to be in a "big endian" order, might need an additional data layout variable unless someone can suggest a better fix?
I think this is broken in at least one place when legalising the DAG. This llvm ir: %3 = call { i16, i1 } @llvm.umul.with.overflow.i16(i16 %2, i16 11) Fails to lower correctly on AVR but the problem is, unfortunately, not just coming from the AVR Target code and I am not sure it can be cleanly fixed just there. (But I would be very happy to be proved wrong a...

[LLVMdev] Help with promotion/custom handling of MUL i32 and MUL i64
Hi Dan, If you set the node's action to "Custom", you should be able to interfere in the type legalisation phase (before it gets promoted to a 64-bit MUL) by overriding the "ReplaceNodeResults" function. You could either expand it to a different libcall directly there, or replace it with a target-specific node (say XXXISD::MUL32) which claims to take i64 types but you

Question about target instruction optimization
This is a question about optimizing the code generation in a (new) Z80 backend: The CPU has a couple of 8 bit physical registers, e.g. H, L, D and E, which are overlaid in 16 bit register pairs named HL and DE. It has also a native instruction to load a 16 bit immediate value into a 16 bit register pair (HL or DE), e.g.: LD HL,<imm16> Now when having a sequence of loading two 16
