History

Bill Wendling 40a162f75f Instead of passing in an unsigned value for the optimization level, use an enum, which better identifies what the optimization is doing. And is more flexible for future uses. llvm-svn: 70440		2009-04-29 23:29:43 +00:00

TODO:
  - Un-bitrot ISel
  - Hook up If-Conversion a la ARM target
  - Hook up all branch analysis functions
  - Instruction scheduling
  - Bundling
  - Dynamic Optimization
  - Testing and bugfixing
  - stop passing FP args in both FP *and* integer regs when not required
  - allocate low (nonstacked) registers more aggressively
  - clean up and thoroughly test the isel patterns.
  - fix stacked register allocation order: (for readability) we don't want
    the out? registers being the first ones used
  - fix up floating point
    (nb http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki?pagename=ia64%20floating%20point )
  - bundling!
    (we will avoid the mess that is:
     http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2003-12/msg00832.html )
  - instruction scheduling (hmmmm! ;)
  - counted loop support
  - make integer + FP mul/div more clever (we have fixed pseudocode atm)
  - track and use comparison complements

INFO:
  - we are strictly LP64 here, no support for ILP32 on HP-UX. Linux users
    don't need to worry about this.
  - i have instruction scheduling/bundling pseudocode, that really works
    (has been tested, albeit at the perl-script level).
    so, before you go write your own, send me an email!

KNOWN DEFECTS AT THE CURRENT TIME:
  - C++ vtables contain naked function pointers, not function descriptors,
  which is bad. see http://llvm.cs.uiuc.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=406
  - varargs are broken
  - alloca doesn't work (indeed, stack frame layout is bogus)
  - no support for big-endian environments
  - (not really the backend, but...) the CFE has some issues on IA64.
    these will probably be fixed soon.
