This will currently accept the old number of bytes syntax, and convert
it to a scalar. This should be removed in the near future (I think I
converted all of the tests already, but likely missed a few).
Not sure what the exact syntax and policy should be. We can continue
printing the number of bytes for non-generic instructions to avoid
test churn and only allow non-scalar types for generic instructions.
This will currently print the LLT in parentheses, but accept parsing
the existing integers and implicitly converting to scalar. The
parentheses are a bit ugly, but the parser logic seems unable to deal
without either parentheses or some keyword to indicate the start of a
type.
This was essentially ignoring byval and treating them as a pointer
argument which needed to be loaded from. This should copy the frame
index value to the virtual register, not insert a load from the frame
index into the pointer value.
For AMDGPU, this was producing a load from the byval pointer argument,
to a pointer used for the byval arguments. I do not understand how
AArch64 managed to work before since it appears to be similarly
broken.
We could also change the ValueHandler API to avoid the extra copy from
the frame index, since currently it returns a new register.
I believe there is still an issue with outgoing byval arguments. These
should have a copy inserted in case the callee decided to overwrite
the memory.
We weren't looking through the parameters on calls at all.
E.g., say you had
```
declare i32 @zext(i32 zeroext %x)
...
%y = call i32 @zext(i32 %something)
...
```
At the point of the call, we wouldn't know that the %something should have the
zeroext attribute.
This sets flags in about the same way as
TargetLoweringBase::ArgListEntry::setAttributes.
