I have some occurrences in my instruction stream that I want to
optimize by using new instructions that are available for the new
target architecture
I want to replace the following :
op1
...
op2 ( depends on op1 )
...
op3 ( depends on op1 )
with
...
op2'
...
op3'
I noticed in the combine dump that the compiler was appropriately looking for
Failed to match this instruction:
(parallel [
(set (reg:SI 222)
(op2:SI ( op1 (reg 219) (reg 109)))
(set (reg:DI 202)
(op1:DI (reg 219) (reg 109)))
])
To achieve above-mentioned task, I did the following ( in the same
order as below in the md file ) :
1. define_insn_and_split to split the above parallel expression into
two separate insns - op2 (op1) and op1
2. define_insn op2 (op1) = op2'
3. define_insn op3 (op1) = op3'
Because of the define_insn_and_split, the above parallel expression is
correctly split into two separate insns - op2 (op1) and op1 (and
subsequently op2' is picked up for op2(op1)). But the combine pass
does NOT then attempt to combine op3 and op1. So in the end, I get
op2', op1, op3 after the combine pass.
I tried the define_insn_and_split with and without specifying "
reload_completed" (Sorry but even after few weeks of playing with the
backends, I am not completely clear on the relevance of
"reload_completed" in this context)
Can some give some insight into how can this be achieved ? What am I
doing wrong ?
Thanks
