LLVM backend for 6502
963a5e6c61
This combine is essentially combining target-specific nodes back into target independent nodes that it "knows" will be combined yet again by a target independent DAG combine into a different set of target-independent nodes that are legal (not custom though!) and thus "ok". This seems... deeply flawed. The crux of the problem is that we don't combine un-legalized shuffles that are introduced by legalizing other operations, and thus we don't see a very profitable combine opportunity. So the backend just forces the input to that combine to re-appear. However, for this to work, the conditions detected to re-form the unlegalized nodes must be *exactly* right. Previously, failing this would have caused poor code (if you're lucky) or a crasher when we failed to select instructions. After r215611 we would fall back into the legalizer. In some cases, this just "fixed" the crasher by produces bad code. But in the test case added it caused the legalizer and the dag combiner to iterate forever. The fix is to make the alignment checking in the x86 side of things match the alignment checking in the generic DAG combine exactly. This isn't really a satisfying or principled fix, but it at least make the code work as intended. It also highlights that it would be nice to detect the availability of under aligned loads for a given type rather than bailing on this optimization. I've left a FIXME to document this. Original commit message for r215611 which covers the rest of the chang: [SDAG] Fix a case where we would iteratively legalize a node during combining by replacing it with something else but not re-process the node afterward to remove it. In a truly remarkable stroke of bad luck, this would (in the test case attached) end up getting some other node combined into it without ever getting re-processed. By adding it back on to the worklist, in addition to deleting the dead nodes more quickly we also ensure that if it *stops* being dead for any reason it makes it back through the legalizer. Without this, the test case will end up failing during instruction selection due to an and node with a type we don't have an instruction pattern for. It took many million runs of the shuffle fuzz tester to find this. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@216537 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8 |
