lib/CodeGen/RegAllocLocal.cpp:38: warning: 'NumFolded' defined but not used This has been introduced because of r46821. However, maybe removing just the variable isn't enought, because the comments in the section that got modified by 46821 are not optimal: if (PhysReg) { // Register is available, allocate...

What is the status of RegAllocLocal, RegAllocBigBlock and RegAllocSimple allocators? I am considering using one of them as a basis for a course project on register allocation in my class. In particular, are those allocators in regular use and/or have they been tested recently? I am particularly interested in the code as of...

...be to add a method to MRegisterInfo to spill specific virtual register. The implementation can then create code like: virtual_register = frame_pointer + offset [virtual_register] and then have 'virtual_register' allocated on next iteration of register allocator? Also, while RegAllocLocal and RegAllocSimple directly call storeRegToStackSlot, I would not found any calls to that method in RegAllocLinearScan. Am I missing something? - Volodya

..., x add phys_1 := phys_v, phys_2 In order to insert load/store instructions, you can use the VirtRegMap class. The spiller, that is implemented in VirtRegMap.cpp will do that. For an example, see RegAllocLinearscan.cpp. Another way is to insert the load/store instructions yourself. This is done in RegAllocLocal.cpp, for example. Best, Fernando

What is the difference between addRequired, and addRequiredID? For instance, in RegAllocLocal.cpp, you have both: AU.addRequired<LiveVariables>(); AU.addRequiredID(PHIEliminationID); When should I use one, and when the other should be used? Thanks a lot, Fernando

...n about the spill. In > particular, it specifies the register class to use for the copy. I'm still missing something. The 'storeRegToStackSlot' saves 'SrcReg' (already specified) to stack (which is not a register). So, what does this register class applies to? Examining RegAllocLocal.cpp suggests that the argument actually specifies the register class of the spilled virtual register. Can you give some examples how that information can be helpful? I'd like to send doc patch, but can't do that without understanding the semantics ;-) - Volodya

It's much better to have an interface that knows how to spill things in a good way, and how to place code for spills, and just use that...

Another approach is to have to spiller scavange registers, which is the subject of this enhancement request: http://llvm.org/PR768 > Also, while RegAllocLocal and RegAllocSimple directly call > storeRegToStackSlot, I would not found any calls to that method in > RegAllocLinearScan. Am I missing something? RegAllocLinearScan just does register assignment, then the code in VirtRegMap.cpp (poorly named) actually takes the register assignment and in...

...39;05" in LLVM. This is a graph coloring algorithm that can find an optimal coloring of the interference graph in most of the cases. I've downloaded LLVM last week, and started studying the code. Basically, I have to implement: 1) A new register allocation pass, similar to the class RA in RegAllocLocal.cpp, for instance; 2) Replace the phi deconstruction algorithm, which I found in the class PNE (PHIElimination.cpp); I would like to implement an algorithm that uses XOR instructions instead of copy instructions to destroy phi functions. It is the algorithm described in "Optimal register allo...

I'm not sure about one thing: you assign stack slot to each new register you replace the spilled one with. And then you need to allocate physical registers to them. Is it possible to assign physical register to the virtual one which has a stack slot already?

Dear LLVMers, I am trying to fold memory operands in the way that is done in RegAllocLocal.cpp, or in LiveIntervalAnalysis.cpp, but I am getting errors that I don't know how to fix. Could someone tell me which steps should I take in order to correctly fold memory operands? The code that I am using is: const TargetMachine & target_machine = this->machine_function->getTarget...

Hi, in LLVM CVS the afore-mentioned function has 'const TargetRegisterClass*' parameter, that is not documented. Can somebody explain what does it mean? Thanks, Volodya

Basically, it gives the target more information about the spill. In particular, it specifies the register class to use for the copy. The target can choose to ignore this if it

Dear guys, I have updated my LLVM to the top of CVS, and now I am getting errors like this one below when I write new passes: "llc: PassManagerT.h:387: void llvm::PassManagerT<Trait>::markPassUsed(const llvm::PassInfo*, llvm::Pass*) [with Trait = llvm::FTraits]: Assertion `getAnalysisOrNullUp(P) && dynamic_cast<ImmutablePass*>(getAnalysisOrNullUp(P)) &&
