History

Chris Lattner 0afa8e348e Implement a target independent optimization to codegen arguments only into

the basic block that uses them if possible.  This is a big win on X86, as it
lets us fold the argument loads into instructions and reduce register pressure
(by not loading all of the arguments in the entry block).

For this (contrived to show the optimization) testcase:

int %argtest(int %A, int %B) {
        %X = sub int 12345, %A
        br label %L
L:
        %Y = add int %X, %B
        ret int %Y
}

we used to produce:

argtest:
        mov %ECX, DWORD PTR [%ESP + 4]
        mov %EAX, 12345
        sub %EAX, %ECX
        mov %EDX, DWORD PTR [%ESP + 8]
.LBBargtest_1:  # L
        add %EAX, %EDX
        ret


now we produce:

argtest:
        mov %EAX, 12345
        sub %EAX, DWORD PTR [%ESP + 4]
.LBBargtest_1:  # L
        add %EAX, DWORD PTR [%ESP + 8]
        ret

This also fixes the FIXME in the code.

BTW, this occurs in real code.  164.gzip shrinks from 8623 to 8608 lines of
.s file.  The stack frame in huft_build shrinks from 1644->1628 bytes,
inflate_codes shrinks from 116->108 bytes, and inflate_block from 2620->2612,
due to fewer spills.

Take that alkis. :-)
