LLVM backend for 6502

This is a compromise: with this simple patch, we should always handle a chain of exactly 3 operations optimally, but we're not generating the optimal balanced binary tree for a longer sequence. In general, this transform will reduce the dependency chain for a sequence of instructions using N operands from a worst case N-1 dependent operations to N/2 dependent operations. The optimal balanced binary tree would reduce the chain to log2(N). The trade-off for not dealing with longer sequences is: (1) we have less complexity in the compiler, (2) we avoid unknown compile-time blowup calculating a balanced tree, and (3) we don't need to worry about the increased register pressure required to parallelize longer sequences. It also seems unlikely that we would ever encounter really long strings of dependent ops like that in the wild, but I'm not sure how to verify that speculation. FWIW, I see no perf difference for test-suite running on btver2 (x86-64) with -ffast-math and this patch. We can extend this patch to cover other associative operations such as fmul, fmax, fmin, integer add, integer mul. This is a partial fix for: https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=17305 and if extended: https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=21768 https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=23116 The issue also came up in: http://reviews.llvm.org/D8941 Differential Revision: http://reviews.llvm.org/D9232 git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@236031 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8 |
