By definition copies across register banks are not coalescable. Still, it may be possible to get rid of such a copy when the value is available in another register of the same register file. Consider the following example, where capital and lower letters denote different register file: b = copy A <-- cross-bank copy ... C = copy b <-- cross-bank copy This could have been optimized this way: b = copy A <-- cross-bank copy ... C = copy A <-- same-bank copy Note: b and C's definitions may be in different basic blocks. This patch adds a peephole optimization that looks through a chain of copies leading to a cross-bank copy and reuses a source that is on the same register file if available. This solution could also be used to get rid of some copies (e.g., A could have been used instead of C). However, we do not do so because: - It may over constrain the coloring of the source register for coalescing. - The register allocator may not be able to find a nice split point for the longer live-range, leading to more spill. <rdar://problem/14742333> llvm-svn: 190713 |
