For a 256-bit BUILD_VECTOR consisting mostly of shuffles of 256-bit vectors,
both the BUILD_VECTOR and its operands may need to be legalized in multiple
steps. Consider:
(v8f32 (BUILD_VECTOR (extract_vector_elt (v8f32 %vreg0,) Constant<1>),
(extract_vector_elt %vreg0, Constant<2>),
(extract_vector_elt %vreg0, Constant<3>),
(extract_vector_elt %vreg0, Constant<4>),
(extract_vector_elt %vreg0, Constant<5>),
(extract_vector_elt %vreg0, Constant<6>),
(extract_vector_elt %vreg0, Constant<7>),
%vreg1))
a. We can't build a 256-bit vector efficiently so, we need to split it into
two 128-bit vecs and combine them with VINSERTX128.
b. Operands like (extract_vector_elt (v8f32 %vreg0), Constant<7>) needs to be
split into a VEXTRACTX128 and a further extract_vector_elt from the
resulting 128-bit vector.
c. The extract_vector_elt from b. is lowered into a shuffle to the first
element and a movss.
Depending on the order in which we legalize the BUILD_VECTOR and its
operands[1], buildFromShuffleMostly may be faced with:
(v4f32 (BUILD_VECTOR (extract_vector_elt
(vector_shuffle<1,u,u,u> (extract_subvector %vreg0, Constant<4>), undef),
Constant<0>),
(extract_vector_elt
(vector_shuffle<2,u,u,u> (extract_subvector %vreg0, Constant<4>), undef),
Constant<0>),
(extract_vector_elt
(vector_shuffle<3,u,u,u> (extract_subvector %vreg0, Constant<4>), undef),
Constant<0>),
%vreg1))
In order to figure out the underlying vector and their identity we need to see
through the shuffles.
[1] Note that the order in which operations and their operands are legalized is
only guaranteed in the first iteration of LegalizeDAG.
