Substantially improve code generation for address exposed locals (aka fixed
sized allocas in the entry block). Instead of generating code like this:
entry:
reg1024 = ESP+1234
... (much later)
*reg1024 = 17
Generate code that looks like this:
entry:
(no code generated)
... (much later)
t = ESP+1234
*t = 17
The advantage being that we DRAMATICALLY reduce the register pressure for these
silly temporaries (they were all being spilled to the stack, resulting in very
silly code). This is actually a manual implementation of rematerialization :)
I have a patch to fold the alloca address computation into loads & stores, which
will make this much better still, but just getting this right took way too much time
and I'm sleepy.
