//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
We should turn things like "load+fabs+store" and "load+fneg+store" into the
corresponding integer operations. On a yonah, this loop:
double a[256];
for (b = 0; b < 10000000; b++)
for (i = 0; i < 256; i++)
a[i] = -a[i];
is twice as slow as this loop:
long long a[256];
for (b = 0; b < 10000000; b++)
for (i = 0; i < 256; i++)
a[i] ^= (1ULL << 63);
and I suspect other processors are similar. On X86 in particular this is a
big win because doing this with integers allows the use of read/modify/write
instructions.
