//===- README.txt - Notes for improving CellSPU-specific code gen ---------===//
This code was contributed by a team from the Computer Systems Research
Department in The Aerospace Corporation:
- Scott Michel (head bottle washer and much of the non-floating point
instructions)
- Mark Thomas (floating point instructions)
- Michael AuYeung (intrinsics)
- Chandler Carruth (LLVM expertise)
- Nehal Desai (debugging, i32 operations, RoadRunner SPU expertise)

--WARNING--:
--WARNING--: The CellSPU work is work-in-progress and "alpha" quality code.
--WARNING--:
If you are brave enough to try this code or help to hack on it, be sure
to add 'spu' to configure's --enable-targets option, e.g.:
./configure <your_configure_flags_here> \
--enable-targets=x86,x86_64,powerpc,spu

TODO:
* Create a machine pass for performing dual-pipeline scheduling specifically
for CellSPU, and insert branch prediction instructions as needed.
* i32 instructions:
* i32 division (work-in-progress)
* i64 support (see i64operations.c test harness):
* shifts and comparison operators: done
* sign and zero extension: done
* addition: done
* subtraction: needed
* multiplication: done
* i128 support:
* zero extension, any extension: done
* sign extension: needed
* arithmetic operators (add, sub, mul, div): needed
* logical operations (and, or, shl, srl, sra, xor, nor, nand): needed
* or: done
* f64 support
* Comparison operators:
SETOEQ unimplemented
SETOGT unimplemented
SETOGE unimplemented
SETOLT unimplemented
SETOLE unimplemented
SETONE unimplemented
SETO done (lowered)
SETUO done (lowered)
SETUEQ unimplemented
SETUGT unimplemented
SETUGE unimplemented
SETULT unimplemented
SETULE unimplemented
SETUNE unimplemented
* LLVM vector suport
* VSETCC needs to be implemented. It's pretty straightforward to code, but
needs implementation.
* Intrinsics
* spu.h instrinsics added but not tested. Need to have an operational
llvm-spu-gcc in order to write a unit test harness.
