Summary:
If there is a chain of instructions formulating a recurrence, commuting operands can help removing a redundant copy. In the following example code,
```
BB#1: ; Loop Header
%vreg0<def> = COPY %vreg13<kill>; GR32:%vreg0,%vreg13
...
BB#6: ; Loop Latch
%vreg2<def> = COPY %vreg15<kill>; GR32:%vreg2,%vreg15
%vreg10<def,tied1> = ADD32rr %vreg1<kill,tied0>, %vreg0<kill>, %EFLAGS<imp-def,dead>; GR32:%vreg10,%vreg1,%vreg0
%vreg3<def,tied1> = ADD32rr %vreg2<kill,tied0>, %vreg10<kill>, %EFLAGS<imp-def,dead>; GR32:%vreg3,%vreg2,%vreg10
CMP32ri8 %vreg3, 10, %EFLAGS<imp-def>; GR32:%vreg3
%vreg13<def> = COPY %vreg3<kill>; GR32:%vreg13,%vreg3
JL_1 <BB#1>, %EFLAGS<imp-use,kill>
```
Existing two-address generation pass generates following code:
```
BB#1:
%vreg0<def> = COPY %vreg13<kill>; GR32:%vreg0,%vreg13
...
BB#6:
Predecessors according to CFG: BB#5 BB#4
%vreg2<def> = COPY %vreg15<kill>; GR32:%vreg2,%vreg15
%vreg10<def> = COPY %vreg1<kill>; GR32:%vreg10,%vreg1
%vreg10<def,tied1> = ADD32rr %vreg10<tied0>, %vreg0<kill>, %EFLAGS<imp-def,dead>; GR32:%vreg10,%vreg0
%vreg3<def> = COPY %vreg10<kill>; GR32:%vreg3,%vreg10
%vreg3<def,tied1> = ADD32rr %vreg3<tied0>, %vreg2<kill>, %EFLAGS<imp-def,dead>; GR32:%vreg3,%vreg2
CMP32ri8 %vreg3, 10, %EFLAGS<imp-def>; GR32:%vreg3
%vreg13<def> = COPY %vreg3<kill>; GR32:%vreg13,%vreg3
JL_1 <BB#1>, %EFLAGS<imp-use,kill>
JMP_1 <BB#7>
```
This is suboptimal because the assembly code generated has a redundant copy at the end of #BB6 to feed %vreg13 to BB#1:
```
.LBB0_6:
addl %esi, %edi
addl %ebx, %edi
cmpl $10, %edi
movl %edi, %esi
jl .LBB0_1
```
This redundant copy can be elimiated by making instructions in the recurrence chain to compute the value "into" the register that actually holds the feedback value. In this example, this can be achieved by commuting %vreg0 and %vreg1 to compute %vreg10. With that change, code after two-address generation becomes
```
BB#1:
%vreg0<def> = COPY %vreg13<kill>; GR32:%vreg0,%vreg13
...
BB#6: derived from LLVM BB %bb7
Predecessors according to CFG: BB#5 BB#4
%vreg2<def> = COPY %vreg15<kill>; GR32:%vreg2,%vreg15
%vreg10<def> = COPY %vreg0<kill>; GR32:%vreg10,%vreg0
%vreg10<def,tied1> = ADD32rr %vreg10<tied0>, %vreg1<kill>, %EFLAGS<imp-def,dead>; GR32:%vreg10,%vreg1
%vreg3<def> = COPY %vreg10<kill>; GR32:%vreg3,%vreg10
%vreg3<def,tied1> = ADD32rr %vreg3<tied0>, %vreg2<kill>, %EFLAGS<imp-def,dead>; GR32:%vreg3,%vreg2
CMP32ri8 %vreg3, 10, %EFLAGS<imp-def>; GR32:%vreg3
%vreg13<def> = COPY %vreg3<kill>; GR32:%vreg13,%vreg3
JL_1 <BB#1>, %EFLAGS<imp-use,kill>
JMP_1 <BB#7>
```
and the final assembly does not have redundant copy:
```
.LBB0_6:
addl %edi, %eax
addl %ebx, %eax
cmpl $10, %eax
jl .LBB0_1
```

README
This directory contains tests for the MIR file format parser and printer. It was necessary to split the tests across different targets as no single target covers all features available in machine IR. Tests for codegen passes should NOT be here but in test/CodeGen/sometarget. As a rule of thumb this directory should only contain tests using 'llc -run-pass none'.
