LLVM backend for 6502
54529ed1c4
When lowering a vector shift node, the backend checks if the shift count is a
shuffle with a splat mask. If so, then it introduces an extra dag node to
extract the splat value from the shuffle. The splat value is then used
to generate a shift count of a target specific shift.
However, if we know that the shift count is a splat shuffle, we can use the
splat index 'I' to extract the I-th element from the first shuffle operand.
The advantage is that the splat shuffle may become dead since we no longer
use it.
Example:
;;
define <4 x i32> @example(<4 x i32> %a, <4 x i32> %b) {
%c = shufflevector <4 x i32> %b, <4 x i32> undef, <4 x i32> zeroinitializer
%shl = shl <4 x i32> %a, %c
ret <4 x i32> %shl
}
;;
Before this patch, llc generated the following code (-mattr=+avx):
vpshufd $0, %xmm1, %xmm1 # xmm1 = xmm1[0,0,0,0]
vpxor %xmm2, %xmm2
vpblendw $3, %xmm1, %xmm2, %xmm1 # xmm1 = xmm1[0,1],xmm2[2,3,4,5,6,7]
vpslld %xmm1, %xmm0, %xmm0
retq
With this patch, the redundant splat operation is removed from the code.
vpxor %xmm2, %xmm2
vpblendw $3, %xmm1, %xmm2, %xmm1 # xmm1 = xmm1[0,1],xmm2[2,3,4,5,6,7]
vpslld %xmm1, %xmm0, %xmm0
retq
