The current approach to lower a vsetult is to flip the sign bit of the
operands, swap the operands and then use a (signed) pcmpgt. psubus (unsigned
saturating subtract) can be used to emulate a vsetult more efficiently:
+ case ISD::SETULT: {
+ // If the comparison is against a constant we can turn this into a
+ // setule. With psubus, setule does not require a swap. This is
+ // beneficial because the constant in the register is no longer
+ // destructed as the destination so it can be hoisted out of a loop.
I also enable lowering via psubus in a few other cases where it's clearly
beneficial: setule and setuge if minu/maxu cannot be used.
