Change IR generation for return (in the simple case) to avoid doing silly
load/store nonsense in the epilog. For example, for:
int foo(int X) {
int A[100];
return A[X];
}
we used to generate:
%arrayidx = getelementptr inbounds [100 x i32]* %A, i32 0, i64 %idxprom ; <i32*> [#uses=1]
%tmp1 = load i32* %arrayidx ; <i32> [#uses=1]
store i32 %tmp1, i32* %retval
%0 = load i32* %retval ; <i32> [#uses=1]
ret i32 %0
}
which codegen'd to this code:
_foo: ## @foo
## BB#0: ## %entry
subq $408, %rsp ## imm = 0x198
movl %edi, 400(%rsp)
movl 400(%rsp), %edi
movslq %edi, %rax
movl (%rsp,%rax,4), %edi
movl %edi, 404(%rsp)
movl 404(%rsp), %eax
addq $408, %rsp ## imm = 0x198
ret
Now we generate:
%arrayidx = getelementptr inbounds [100 x i32]* %A, i32 0, i64 %idxprom ; <i32*> [#uses=1]
%tmp1 = load i32* %arrayidx ; <i32> [#uses=1]
ret i32 %tmp1
}
and:
_foo: ## @foo
## BB#0: ## %entry
subq $408, %rsp ## imm = 0x198
movl %edi, 404(%rsp)
movl 404(%rsp), %edi
movslq %edi, %rax
movl (%rsp,%rax,4), %eax
addq $408, %rsp ## imm = 0x198
ret
This actually does matter, cutting out 2000 lines of IR from CGStmt.ll
for example.
Another interesting effect is that altivec.h functions which are dead
now get dce'd by the inliner. Hence all the changes to
builtins-ppc-altivec.c to ensure the calls aren't dead.
