Why is this a regalloc problem? I assume in the example below the "r0" is somehow forced by the ABI? Because otherwise moving the texture2d operation into the branch wouldn't matter as long as we assign different registers to the two branches and use a technique like lib/Target/R600/SIFixSGPRLiveRanges.cpp. - Matthias > On May 13, 2015, at 6:00 PM, Philip Reames <listmail at philipreames.com> wrote: > > LGTM.

In other compilers I've worked on there were special pseudo instructions (or similar mechanisms like adding extra source operands to returns) that allowed you to artificially extend lifetimes of values. For instance we might have a requirement that a certain local (say the 'this pointer') remain live throughout the method. Is there anything like this in LLVM? -------------- next part

Below is a proposal for a new "convergent" intrinsic attribute and MachineInstr property, needed for correctly modeling many SPMD/SIMT programming models in LLVM. Comments and feedback welcome. —Owen In order to make LLVM more suitable for programming models variously called SPMD and SIMT, we would like to propose a new intrinsic and MachineInstr annotation called
