similar to: [LLVMdev] soft float signature problem

What happens here is that the code that is doing the "softening", generates a libcall On closer inspection, llvm is doing half of this correctly. The signature for the soft float function for extending a float to double is of the form: i64 xxx_extendsfdf2(float); But it should be i64 xxx_extendsfdf2(i32) This particular paradigm is duplicated many times in the the float type

I'm working on mips16 hard float which at a first approximation is just soft float but calls different library routines. Those different library routines are just an implementation (in mips32 mode) of soft float using mips32 hardware instructions. This part is already done. (mips16 mode has no floating point instructions). The next level of this that I am working on now is the ability to

Is it possible to assign the value of subtarget features using more complex expressions with code as opposed to using the mechanism that tablegen affords. For example, if Mips16 or Micro Mips is not present, then I want the subfeature "standard encoding". If I can't do this, then it requires me to write a more complex expression for the "standard encoding" expresions.

I'm working on the mips16. Mips16 is a mode of the Mips32 (or Mips64) processor. For the most part, it is a compressed form of the MIPS32 instruction set, though not all instructions are supported. Most of the same opcodes and formats are present though sometimes with some restriction. (The micro mips architecture is a true 16 bit compressed form of MIps32 though also with some

Yes, you could have mips16 and fastcc. Mips16 just means that processor mode to execute that function is "mips16". So in a mips16 designated function, I will just emit mips16 instructions and in a "nomips16" function, just emit normal mips32 instructions. I tend to call this "mips32" normal mode, "standard encoding" because in reality the processor is

What I am thinking of now is to just register the MIPS116 and MIPS32 DAGToDAGISel passes and then within run on machine function, I can just return if the current mode indicates that mips16 is needed for example, so the run on machine function for Mips32 would return immediately.

This seems to work okay. I register both the Mips16 and non Mips16 passes of the instruction selector and then those return false if they are not supposed to be running. Make-check at least passes in this case. So in principle turn on the dual mode now and debug whatever misc is left. For this I insert another pass before the mips16 and non mips16 passes.

So the switching between mips16 and mips32 on a per function basis seems to basically be working except that asm printer has some kind of issue here. I'm debugging that now. I get this: lc: /home/rkotler/workspace/llvmpb6/include/llvm/MC/MCStreamer.h:224: void llvm::MCStreamer::SwitchSection(const llvm::MCSection*): Assertion `Section && "Cannot switch to a null

I think that Bill Wendlings new attribute implementation would allow me to do this but it is not ready yet. Maybe it's okay to just add them to the list of function attributes as I suggested. But in the end, someone has to approve the checkin. On 01/11/2013 07:35 AM, Reed Kotler wrote: > Yes, you could have mips16 and fastcc. > > Mips16 just means that processor mode to execute

I ran into a case in Mips16 where I need two registers. The problem arises from the fact that SP is not a mips16 register. You can implicitly use it in load/store and, move it to/from a mips16 register and add small immediate values to it but that's it. It's not in general a problem for me because there are a bunch of mips32 registers that are hard to use in mips16 so at this time, I

I'm implementing this ability to switch between mips16 and mips32 on a per function basis. One issue that I've run into is regarding the DAGToDAGIsel pass. We have a different subclass for mips16 and non mips16 ( conceivably later there could be a separate one for micromips). I need to run a different pass depending on whether it's mips16 or mips32. My initial plan was to create

I guess another way to do this is to just register both passes for mips16 and mips32 and have them return immediately if it is not their turn to run.

So what I realized is that you can't use the simple scavenger trick where you create the virtual register and use the more advanced features. This is because you can't call forward() in any form if there are virtual registers being used by any of the instructions in the basic block. This will cause forward to fail. Maybe this is a bug in forward() On 02/05/2013 02:51 PM, Reed Kotler

We are starting to look at the mips16 and micro mips ports. There are various design issues that people may have some good input on. Especially in how to structure the TD files and other optimizer issues. Mips16 is sort of like thumb and Micro Mips like thumb2 as far as I understand. Mips16 or Micro Mips can live inside of either MIPS32 or MIPS64. In gcc, it's possible using attributes to
