This will currently accept the old number of bytes syntax, and convert
it to a scalar. This should be removed in the near future (I think I
converted all of the tests already, but likely missed a few).
Not sure what the exact syntax and policy should be. We can continue
printing the number of bytes for non-generic instructions to avoid
test churn and only allow non-scalar types for generic instructions.
This will currently print the LLT in parentheses, but accept parsing
the existing integers and implicitly converting to scalar. The
parentheses are a bit ugly, but the parser logic seems unable to deal
without either parentheses or some keyword to indicate the start of a
type.
- Distinct metadata needs generating in the codegen to attach correct
AAInfo on the loads/stores after lowering, merging, and other relevant
transformations.
- This patch adds 'MachhineModuleSlotTracker' to help assign slot
numbers to these newly generated unnamed metadata nodes.
- To help 'MachhineModuleSlotTracker' track machine metadata, the
original 'SlotTracker' is rebased from 'AbstractSlotTrackerStorage',
which provides basic interfaces to create/retrive metadata slots. In
addition, once LLVM IR is processsed, additional hooks are also
introduced to help collect machine metadata and assign them slot
numbers.
- Finally, if there is any such machine metadata, 'MIRPrinter' outputs
an additional 'machineMetadataNodes' field containing all the
definition of those nodes.
