Change handling of illegal vector types to widen when possible instead of
expanding: e.g. <2 x float> -> <4 x float> instead of -> 2 floats. This
affects two places in the code: handling cross block values and handling
function return and arguments. Since vectors are already widened by
legalizetypes, this gives us much better code and unblocks x86-64 abi
and SPU abi work.
For example, this (which is a silly example of a cross-block value):
define <4 x float> @test2(<4 x float> %A) nounwind {
%B = shufflevector <4 x float> %A, <4 x float> undef, <2 x i32> <i32 0, i32 1>
%C = fadd <2 x float> %B, %B
br label %BB
BB:
%D = fadd <2 x float> %C, %C
%E = shufflevector <2 x float> %D, <2 x float> undef, <4 x i32> <i32 0, i32 1, i32 undef, i32 undef>
ret <4 x float> %E
}
Now compiles into:
_test2: ## @test2
## BB#0:
addps %xmm0, %xmm0
addps %xmm0, %xmm0
ret
previously it compiled into:
_test2: ## @test2
## BB#0:
addps %xmm0, %xmm0
pshufd $1, %xmm0, %xmm1
## kill: XMM0<def> XMM0<kill> XMM0<def>
insertps $0, %xmm0, %xmm0
insertps $16, %xmm1, %xmm0
addps %xmm0, %xmm0
ret
