TODO:
* implement cast fp to bool
* implement signed right shift by reg
* fix ulong to double:
floatdidf assumes signed longs. so if the high but of a ulong
just happens to be set, you get the wrong sign. The fix for this
is to call cmpdi2 to compare against zero, if so shift right by one,
convert to fp, and multiply by (add to itself). the sequence would
look like:
{r3:r4} holds ulong a;
li r5, 0
li r6, 0 (set r5:r6 to ulong 0)
call cmpdi2 ==> sets r3 <, =, > 0
if r3 > 0
call floatdidf as usual
else
shift right ulong a, 1 (we could use emitShift)
call floatdidf
fadd f1, f1, f1 (fp left shift by 1)
* PowerPCPEI.cpp needs to be replaced by shiny new target hook
* setCondInst needs to know branchless versions of seteq/setne/etc
* cast elimination pass (uint -> sbyte -> short, kill the byte -> short)
* should hint to the branch select pass that it doesn't need to print the
second unconditional branch, so we don't end up with things like:
b .LBBl42__2E_expand_function_8_674 ; loopentry.24
b .LBBl42__2E_expand_function_8_42 ; NewDefault
b .LBBl42__2E_expand_function_8_42 ; NewDefault
Current hacks:
* lazy insert of GlobalBaseReg definition at front of first MBB
A prime candidate for sabre's future "slightly above ISel" passes.
* cast code is huge, unwieldy. Should probably be broken up into
smaller pieces.
* visitLoadInst is getting awfully cluttered as well.
Currently failing tests:
* SingleSource
