A RegisterTuples instance is used to synthesize super-registers by
zipping together lists of sub-registers. This is useful for generating
pseudo-registers representing register sequence constraints like 'two
consecutive GPRs', or 'an even-odd pair of floating point registers'.
The RegisterTuples def can be used in register set operations when
building register classes. That is the only way of accessing the
synthesized super-registers.
For example, the ARM QQ register class of pseudo-registers could have
been formed like this:
// Form pairs Q0_Q1, Q2_Q3, ...
def QQPairs : RegisterTuples<[qsub_0, qsub_1],
[(decimate QPR, 2),
(decimate (shl QPR, 1), 2)]>;
def QQ : RegisterClass<..., (add QQPairs)>;
Similarly, pseudo-registers representing '3 consecutive D-regs with
wraparound' look like:
// Form D0_D1_D2, D1_D2_D3, ..., D30_D31_D0, D31_D0_D1.
def DSeqTriples : RegisterTuples<[dsub_0, dsub_1, dsub_2],
[(rotl DPR, 0),
(rotl DPR, 1),
(rotl DPR, 2)]>;
TableGen automatically computes aliasing information for the synthesized
registers.
Register tuples are still somewhat experimental. We still need to see
how they interact with MC.
