<p>The LLVM target-independent code generator is a framework that provides a
suite of reusable components for translating the LLVM internal representation to
the machine code for a specified target&mdash;either in assembly form (suitable
for a static compiler) or in binary machine code format (usable for a JIT
compiler). The LLVM target-independent code generator consists of five main
components:</p>
<ol>
<li><a href="#targetdesc">Abstract target description</a> interfaces which
capture important properties about various aspects of the machine, independently
of how they will be used. These interfaces are defined in
<tt>include/llvm/Target/</tt>.</li>
<li>Classes used to represent the <a href="#codegendesc">machine code</a> being
generated for a target. These classes are intended to be abstract enough to
represent the machine code for <i>any</i> target machine. These classes are
defined in <tt>include/llvm/CodeGen/</tt>.</li>
<li><a href="#codegenalgs">Target-independent algorithms</a> used to implement
various phases of native code generation (register allocation, scheduling, stack
frame representation, etc). This code lives in <tt>lib/CodeGen/</tt>.</li>
<li><a href="#targetimpls">Implementations of the abstract target description
interfaces</a> for particular targets. These machine descriptions make use of
the components provided by LLVM, and can optionally provide custom
target-specific passes, to build complete code generators for a specific target.
Target descriptions live in <tt>lib/Target/</tt>.</li>
<li><a href="#jit">The target-independent JIT components</a>. The LLVM JIT is
completely target independent (it uses the <tt>TargetJITInfo</tt> structure to
interface for target-specific issues. The code for the target-independent
JIT lives in <tt>lib/ExecutionEngine/JIT</tt>.</li>
</ol>
<p>
Depending on which part of the code generator you are interested in working on,
different pieces of this will be useful to you. In any case, you should be
familiar with the <a href="#targetdesc">target description</a> and <a
href="#codegendesc">machine code representation</a> classes. If you want to add
a backend for a new target, you will need to <a href="#targetimpls">implement the
target description</a> classes for your new target and understand the <a
href="LangRef.html">LLVM code representation</a>. If you are interested in
implementing a new <a href="#codegenalgs">code generation algorithm</a>, it
should only depend on the target-description and machine code representation
classes, ensuring that it is portable.

<div class="doc_subsection">
<a name="required">Required components in the code generator</a>
</div>
<div class="doc_text">
<p>The two pieces of the LLVM code generator are the high-level interface to the
code generator and the set of reusable components that can be used to build
target-specific backends. The two most important interfaces (<a
href="#targetmachine"><tt>TargetMachine</tt></a> and <a
href="#targetdata"><tt>TargetData</tt></a>) are the only ones that are
required to be defined for a backend to fit into the LLVM system, but the others
must be defined if the reusable code generator components are going to be
used.</p>
<p>This design has two important implications. The first is that LLVM can
support completely non-traditional code generation targets. For example, the C
backend does not require register allocation, instruction selection, or any of
the other standard components provided by the system. As such, it only
implements these two interfaces, and does its own thing. Another example of a
code generator like this is a (purely hypothetical) backend that converts LLVM
to the GCC RTL form and uses GCC to emit machine code for a target.</p>
<p>This design also implies that it is possible to design and
implement radically different code generators in the LLVM system that do not
make use of any of the built-in components. Doing so is not recommended at all,
but could be required for radically different targets that do not fit into the
LLVM machine description model: FPGAs for example.</p>
</div>
<!-- ======================================================================= -->
<div class="doc_subsection">
<a name="high-level-design">The high-level design of the code generator</a>
</div>
<div class="doc_text">
<p>The LLVM target-independent code generator is designed to support efficient and
quality code generation for standard register-based microprocessors. Code
generation in this model is divided into the following stages:</p>
<ol>
<li><b><a href="#instselect">Instruction Selection</a></b> - This phase
determines an efficient way to express the input LLVM code in the target
instruction set.
This stage produces the initial code for the program in the target instruction
set, then makes use of virtual registers in SSA form and physical registers that
represent any required register assignments due to target constraints or calling
conventions. This step turns the LLVM code into a DAG of target
instructions.</li>
<li><b><a href="#selectiondag_sched">Scheduling and Formation</a></b> - This
phase takes the DAG of target instructions produced by the instruction selection
phase, determines an ordering of the instructions, then emits the instructions
as <tt><a href="#machineinstr">MachineInstr</a></tt>s with that ordering. Note
that we describe this in the <a href="#instselect">instruction selection
section</a> because it operates on a <a
href="#selectiondag_intro">SelectionDAG</a>.
</li>
<li><b><a href="#ssamco">SSA-based Machine Code Optimizations</a></b> - This
optional stage consists of a series of machine-code optimizations that
operate on the SSA-form produced by the instruction selector. Optimizations
like modulo-scheduling or peephole optimization work here.
</li>
<li><b><a href="#regalloc">Register Allocation</a></b> - The
target code is transformed from an infinite virtual register file in SSA form
to the concrete register file used by the target. This phase introduces spill
code and eliminates all virtual register references from the program.</li>
<li><b><a href="#proepicode">Prolog/Epilog Code Insertion</a></b> - Once the
machine code has been generated for the function and the amount of stack space
required is known (used for LLVM alloca's and spill slots), the prolog and
epilog code for the function can be inserted and "abstract stack location
references" can be eliminated. This stage is responsible for implementing
optimizations like frame-pointer elimination and stack packing.</li>
<li><b><a href="#latemco">Late Machine Code Optimizations</a></b> - Optimizations
that operate on "final" machine code can go here, such as spill code scheduling
and peephole optimizations.</li>
<li><b><a href="#codeemit">Code Emission</a></b> - The final stage actually
puts out the code for the current function, either in the target assembler
format or in machine code.</li>
</ol>
<p>The code generator is based on the assumption that the instruction selector
will use an optimal pattern matching selector to create high-quality sequences of
native instructions. Alternative code generator designs based on pattern
expansion and aggressive iterative peephole optimization are much slower. This
design permits efficient compilation (important for JIT environments) and
aggressive optimization (used when generating code offline) by allowing
components of varying levels of sophistication to be used for any step of
compilation.</p>
<p>In addition to these stages, target implementations can insert arbitrary
target-specific passes into the flow. For example, the X86 target uses a
special pass to handle the 80x87 floating point stack architecture. Other
targets with unusual requirements can be supported with custom passes as
needed.</p>

<div class="doc_subsection">
<a name="tablegen">Using TableGen for target description</a>
</div>
<div class="doc_text">
<p>The target description classes require a detailed description of the target
architecture. These target descriptions often have a large amount of common
information (e.g., an <tt>add</tt> instruction is almost identical to a
<tt>sub</tt> instruction).
In order to allow the maximum amount of commonality to be factored out, the LLVM
code generator uses the <a href="TableGenFundamentals.html">TableGen</a> tool to
describe big chunks of the target machine, which allows the use of
domain-specific and target-specific abstractions to reduce the amount of
repetition.</p>
<p>As LLVM continues to be developed and refined, we plan to move more and more
of the target description to the <tt>.td</tt> form. Doing so gives us a
number of advantages. The most important is that it makes it easier to port
LLVM because it reduces the amount of C++ code that has to be written, and the
surface area of the code generator that needs to be understood before someone
can get something working. Second, it makes it easier to change things. In
particular, if tables and other things are all emitted by <tt>tblgen</tt>, we
only need a change in one place (<tt>tblgen</tt>) to update all of the targets
to a new interface.</p>

<a name="machineinstr">The <tt>MachineInstr</tt> class</a>

<div class="doc_text">
<p>Target machine instructions are represented as instances of the
<tt>MachineInstr</tt> class. This class is an extremely abstract way of
representing machine instructions. In particular, it only keeps track of
an opcode number and a set of operands.</p>
<p>The opcode number is a simple unsigned integer that only has meaning to a
specific backend. All of the instructions for a target should be defined in
the <tt>*InstrInfo.td</tt> file for the target. The opcode enum values
are auto-generated from this description. The <tt>MachineInstr</tt> class does
not have any information about how to interpret the instruction (i.e., what the
semantics of the instruction are); for that you must refer to the
<tt><a href="#targetinstrinfo">TargetInstrInfo</a></tt> class.</p>
<p>The operands of a machine instruction can be of several different types:
a register reference, a constant integer, a basic block reference, etc. In
addition, a machine operand should be marked as a def or a use of the value
(though only registers are allowed to be defs).</p>
<p>By convention, the LLVM code generator orders instruction operands so that
all register definitions come before the register uses, even on architectures
that are normally printed in other orders. For example, the SPARC add
instruction: "<tt>add %i1, %i2, %i3</tt>" adds the "%i1", and "%i2" registers
and stores the result into the "%i3" register. In the LLVM code generator,
the operands should be stored as "<tt>%i3, %i1, %i2</tt>": with the destination
first.</p>
<p>Keeping destination (definition) operands at the beginning of the operand
list has several advantages. In particular, the debugging printer will print
the instruction like this:</p>
<div class="doc_code">
<pre>
%r3 = add %i1, %i2
</pre>
</div>
<p>Also if the first operand is a def, it is easier to <a
href="#buildmi">create instructions</a> whose only def is the first
operand.</p>

<a name="buildmi">Using the <tt>MachineInstrBuilder.h</tt> functions</a>

<div class="doc_text">
<p>Machine instructions are created by using the <tt>BuildMI</tt> functions,
located in the <tt>include/llvm/CodeGen/MachineInstrBuilder.h</tt> file. The
<tt>BuildMI</tt> functions make it easy to build arbitrary machine
instructions. Usage of the <tt>BuildMI</tt> functions look like this:</p>
<div class="doc_code">
<pre>
// Create a 'DestReg = mov 42' (rendered in X86 assembly as 'mov DestReg, 42')
// instruction. The '1' specifies how many operands will be added.
MachineInstr *MI = BuildMI(X86::MOV32ri, 1, DestReg).addImm(42);
// Create the same instr, but insert it at the end of a basic block.
MachineBasicBlock &amp;MBB = ...
BuildMI(MBB, X86::MOV32ri, 1, DestReg).addImm(42);
// Create the same instr, but insert it before a specified iterator point.
MachineBasicBlock::iterator MBBI = ...
BuildMI(MBB, MBBI, X86::MOV32ri, 1, DestReg).addImm(42);
// Create a 'cmp Reg, 0' instruction, no destination reg.
MI = BuildMI(X86::CMP32ri, 2).addReg(Reg).addImm(0);
// Create an 'sahf' instruction which takes no operands and stores nothing.
MI = BuildMI(X86::SAHF, 0);
// Create a self looping branch instruction.
BuildMI(MBB, X86::JNE, 1).addMBB(&amp;MBB);
</pre>
</div>
<p>The key thing to remember with the <tt>BuildMI</tt> functions is that you
have to specify the number of operands that the machine instruction will take.
This allows for efficient memory allocation. You also need to specify if
operands default to be uses of values, not definitions. If you need to add a
definition operand (other than the optional destination register), you must
explicitly mark it as such:</p>

<div class="doc_subsubsection">
<a name="fixedregs">Fixed (preassigned) registers</a>
</div>
<div class="doc_text">
<p>One important issue that the code generator needs to be aware of is the
presence of fixed registers. In particular, there are often places in the
instruction stream where the register allocator <em>must</em> arrange for a
particular value to be in a particular register. This can occur due to
limitations of the instruction set (e.g., the X86 can only do a 32-bit divide
with the <tt>EAX</tt>/<tt>EDX</tt> registers), or external factors like calling
conventions. In any case, the instruction selector should emit code that
copies a virtual register into or out of a physical register when needed.</p>
<p>For example, consider this simple LLVM example:</p>
<div class="doc_code">
<pre>
int %test(int %X, int %Y) {
%Z = div int %X, %Y
ret int %Z
}
</pre>
</div>
<p>The X86 instruction selector produces this machine code for the <tt>div</tt>
and <tt>ret</tt> (use
"<tt>llc X.bc -march=x86 -print-machineinstrs</tt>" to get this):</p>
<div class="doc_code">
<pre>
;; Start of div
%EAX = mov %reg1024 ;; Copy X (in reg1024) into EAX
%reg1027 = sar %reg1024, 31
%EDX = mov %reg1027 ;; Sign extend X into EDX
idiv %reg1025 ;; Divide by Y (in reg1025)
%reg1026 = mov %EAX ;; Read the result (Z) out of EAX
;; Start of ret
%EAX = mov %reg1026 ;; 32-bit return value goes in EAX
ret
</pre>
</div>
<p>By the end of code generation, the register allocator has coalesced
the registers and deleted the resultant identity moves producing the
following code:</p>
<div class="doc_code">
<pre>
;; X is in EAX, Y is in ECX
mov %EAX, %EDX
sar %EDX, 31
idiv %ECX
ret
</pre>
</div>
<p>This approach is extremely general (if it can handle the X86 architecture,
it can handle anything!) and allows all of the target specific
knowledge about the instruction stream to be isolated in the instruction
selector. Note that physical registers should have a short lifetime for good
code generation, and all physical registers are assumed dead on entry to and
exit from basic blocks (before register allocation). Thus, if you need a value
to be live across basic block boundaries, it <em>must</em> live in a virtual
register.</p>

</div>
<div class="doc_text">
<p>
Instruction Selection is the process of translating LLVM code presented to the
code generator into target-specific machine instructions. There are several
well-known ways to do this in the literature. In LLVM there are two main forms:
the SelectionDAG based instruction selector framework and an old-style 'simple'
instruction selector, which effectively peephole selects each LLVM instruction
into a series of machine instructions. We recommend that all targets use the
SelectionDAG infrastructure.
</p>
<p>Portions of the DAG instruction selector are generated from the target
description (<tt>*.td</tt>) files. Our goal is for the entire instruction
selector to be generated from these <tt>.td</tt> files.</p>
</div>
<!-- _______________________________________________________________________ -->
<div class="doc_subsubsection">
<a name="selectiondag_intro">Introduction to SelectionDAGs</a>
</div>
<div class="doc_text">
<p>The SelectionDAG provides an abstraction for code representation in a way
that is amenable to instruction selection using automatic techniques
(e.g. dynamic-programming based optimal pattern matching selectors). It is also
well-suited to other phases of code generation; in particular,
instruction scheduling (SelectionDAG's are very close to scheduling DAGs
post-selection). Additionally, the SelectionDAG provides a host representation
where a large variety of very-low-level (but target-independent)
<a href="#selectiondag_optimize">optimizations</a> may be
performed; ones which require extensive information about the instructions
efficiently supported by the target.</p>
<p>The SelectionDAG is a Directed-Acyclic-Graph whose nodes are instances of the
<tt>SDNode</tt> class. The primary payload of the <tt>SDNode</tt> is its
operation code (Opcode) that indicates what operation the node performs and
the operands to the operation.
The various operation node types are described at the top of the
<tt>include/llvm/CodeGen/SelectionDAGNodes.h</tt> file.</p>
<p>Although most operations define a single value, each node in the graph may
define multiple values. For example, a combined div/rem operation will define
both the dividend and the remainder. Many other situations require multiple
values as well. Each node also has some number of operands, which are edges
to the node defining the used value. Because nodes may define multiple values,
edges are represented by instances of the <tt>SDOperand</tt> class, which is
a <tt>&lt;SDNode, unsigned&gt;</tt> pair, indicating the node and result
value being used, respectively. Each value produced by an <tt>SDNode</tt> has
an associated <tt>MVT::ValueType</tt> indicating what type the value is.</p>
<p>SelectionDAGs contain two different kinds of values: those that represent
data flow and those that represent control flow dependencies. Data values are
simple edges with an integer or floating point value type. Control edges are
represented as "chain" edges which are of type <tt>MVT::Other</tt>. These edges
provide an ordering between nodes that have side effects (such as
loads, stores, calls, returns, etc). All nodes that have side effects should
take a token chain as input and produce a new one as output. By convention,
token chain inputs are always operand #0, and chain results are always the last
value produced by an operation.</p>
<p>A SelectionDAG has designated "Entry" and "Root" nodes. The Entry node is
always a marker node with an Opcode of <tt>ISD::EntryToken</tt>. The Root node
is the final side-effecting node in the token chain. For example, in a single
basic block function it would be the return node.</p>
<p>One important concept for SelectionDAGs is the notion of a "legal" vs.
"illegal" DAG. A legal DAG for a target is one that only uses supported
operations and supported types. On a 32-bit PowerPC, for example, a DAG with
a value of type i1, i8, i16, or i64 would be illegal, as would a DAG that uses a
SREM or UREM operation. The
<a href="#selectiondag_legalize">legalize</a> phase is responsible for turning
an illegal DAG into a legal DAG.</p>

<li><a href="#selectiondag_optimize">Optimize SelectionDAG</a> - This stage
performs simple optimizations on the SelectionDAG to simplify it, and
recognize meta instructions (like rotates and <tt>div</tt>/<tt>rem</tt>

resultant code more efficient and the <a href="#selectiondag_select">select

<li><a href="#selectiondag_legalize">Legalize SelectionDAG</a> - This stage
converts the illegal SelectionDAG to a legal SelectionDAG by eliminating
unsupported operations and data types.</li>
<li><a href="#selectiondag_optimize">Optimize SelectionDAG (#2)</a> - This
second run of the SelectionDAG optimizes the newly legalized DAG to
eliminate inefficiencies introduced by legalization.</li>
<li><a href="#selectiondag_select">Select instructions from DAG</a> - Finally,
the target instruction selector matches the DAG operations to target
instructions. This process translates the target-independent input DAG into
another DAG of target instructions.</li>
<li><a href="#selectiondag_sched">SelectionDAG Scheduling and Formation</a>
- The last phase assigns a linear order to the instructions in the
target-instruction DAG and emits them into the MachineFunction being
compiled. This step uses traditional prepass scheduling techniques.</li>
</ol>
<p>After all of these steps are complete, the SelectionDAG is destroyed and the
rest of the code generation passes are run.</p>
<p>One great way to visualize what is going on here is to take advantage of a
few LLC command line options. In particular, the <tt>-view-isel-dags</tt>
option pops up a window with the SelectionDAG input to the Select phase for all
of the code compiled (if you only get errors printed to the console while using
this, you probably <a href="ProgrammersManual.html#ViewGraph">need to configure
your system</a> to add support for it). The <tt>-view-sched-dags</tt> option
views the SelectionDAG output from the Select phase and input to the Scheduler
phase.</p>

<a name="selectiondag_legalize">SelectionDAG Legalize Phase</a>
</div>
<div class="doc_text">
<p>The Legalize phase is in charge of converting a DAG to only use the types and
operations that are natively supported by the target. This involves two major
tasks:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Convert values of unsupported types to values of supported types.</p>
<p>There are two main ways of doing this: converting small types to
larger types ("promoting"), and breaking up large integer types
into smaller ones ("expanding"). For example, a target might require
that all f32 values are promoted to f64 and that all i1/i8/i16 values
are promoted to i32. The same target might require that all i64 values
be expanded into i32 values. These changes can insert sign and zero
extensions as needed to make sure that the final code has the same
behavior as the input.</p>
<p>A target implementation tells the legalizer which types are supported
(and which register class to use for them) by calling the
<tt>addRegisterClass</tt> method in its TargetLowering constructor.</p>
</li>
<li><p>Eliminate operations that are not supported by the target.</p>
<p>Targets often have weird constraints, such as not supporting every
operation on every supported datatype (e.g. X86 does not support byte
conditional moves and PowerPC does not support sign-extending loads from
a 16-bit memory location). Legalize takes care of this by open-coding
another sequence of operations to emulate the operation ("expansion"), by
promoting one type to a larger type that supports the operation
("promotion"), or by using a target-specific hook to implement the
legalization ("custom").</p>
<p>A target implementation tells the legalizer which operations are not
supported (and which of the above three actions to take) by calling the
<tt>setOperationAction</tt> method in its <tt>TargetLowering</tt>
constructor.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p>Prior to the existance of the Legalize pass, we required that every target
<a href="#selectiondag_optimize">selector</a> supported and handled every
operator and type even if they are not natively supported. The introduction of
the Legalize phase allows all of the cannonicalization patterns to be shared
across targets, and makes it very easy to optimize the cannonicalized code
because it is still in the form of a DAG.</p>

<p>The SelectionDAG optimization phase is run twice for code generation: once
immediately after the DAG is built and once after legalization. The first run
of the pass allows the initial code to be cleaned up (e.g. performing
optimizations that depend on knowing that the operators have restricted type
inputs). The second run of the pass cleans up the messy code generated by the
Legalize pass, which allows Legalize to be very simple (it can focus on making

<a name="selectiondag_select">SelectionDAG Select Phase</a>
</div>
<div class="doc_text">
<p>The Select phase is the bulk of the target-specific code for instruction
selection. This phase takes a legal SelectionDAG as input, pattern matches the
instructions supported by the target to this DAG, and produces a new DAG of
target code. For example, consider the following LLVM fragment:</p>
<div class="doc_code">
<pre>
%t1 = add float %W, %X
%t2 = mul float %t1, %Y
%t3 = add float %t2, %Z
</pre>
</div>
<p>This LLVM code corresponds to a SelectionDAG that looks basically like
this:</p>
<div class="doc_code">
<pre>
(fadd:f32 (fmul:f32 (fadd:f32 W, X), Y), Z)
</pre>
</div>
<p>If a target supports floating point multiply-and-add (FMA) operations, one
of the adds can be merged with the multiply. On the PowerPC, for example, the
output of the instruction selector might look like this DAG:</p>
<div class="doc_code">
<pre>
(FMADDS (FADDS W, X), Y, Z)
</pre>
</div>
<p>The <tt>FMADDS</tt> instruction is a ternary instruction that multiplies its
first two operands and adds the third (as single-precision floating-point
numbers). The <tt>FADDS</tt> instruction is a simple binary single-precision
add instruction. To perform this pattern match, the PowerPC backend includes
the following instruction definitions:</p>
<div class="doc_code">
<pre>
def FMADDS : AForm_1&lt;59, 29,
(ops F4RC:$FRT, F4RC:$FRA, F4RC:$FRC, F4RC:$FRB),
"fmadds $FRT, $FRA, $FRC, $FRB",
[<b>(set F4RC:$FRT, (fadd (fmul F4RC:$FRA, F4RC:$FRC),
F4RC:$FRB))</b>]&gt;;
def FADDS : AForm_2&lt;59, 21,
(ops F4RC:$FRT, F4RC:$FRA, F4RC:$FRB),
"fadds $FRT, $FRA, $FRB",
[<b>(set F4RC:$FRT, (fadd F4RC:$FRA, F4RC:$FRB))</b>]&gt;;
</pre>
</div>
<p>The portion of the instruction definition in bold indicates the pattern used
to match the instruction. The DAG operators (like <tt>fmul</tt>/<tt>fadd</tt>)
are defined in the <tt>lib/Target/TargetSelectionDAG.td</tt> file.
"<tt>F4RC</tt>" is the register class of the input and result values.<p>
<p>The TableGen DAG instruction selector generator reads the instruction
patterns in the <tt>.td</tt> file and automatically builds parts of the pattern
matching code for your target. It has the following strengths:</p>
<ul>
<li>At compiler-compiler time, it analyzes your instruction patterns and tells
you if your patterns make sense or not.</li>
<li>It can handle arbitrary constraints on operands for the pattern match. In
particular, it is straight-forward to say things like "match any immediate
that is a 13-bit sign-extended value". For examples, see the
<tt>immSExt16</tt> and related <tt>tblgen</tt> classes in the PowerPC
backend.</li>
<li>It knows several important identities for the patterns defined. For
example, it knows that addition is commutative, so it allows the
<tt>FMADDS</tt> pattern above to match "<tt>(fadd X, (fmul Y, Z))</tt>" as
well as "<tt>(fadd (fmul X, Y), Z)</tt>", without the target author having
to specially handle this case.</li>
<li>It has a full-featured type-inferencing system. In particular, you should
rarely have to explicitly tell the system what type parts of your patterns
are. In the <tt>FMADDS</tt> case above, we didn't have to tell
<tt>tblgen</tt> that all of the nodes in the pattern are of type 'f32'. It
was able to infer and propagate this knowledge from the fact that
<tt>F4RC</tt> has type 'f32'.</li>
<li>Targets can define their own (and rely on built-in) "pattern fragments".
Pattern fragments are chunks of reusable patterns that get inlined into your
patterns during compiler-compiler time. For example, the integer
"<tt>(not x)</tt>" operation is actually defined as a pattern fragment that
expands as "<tt>(xor x, -1)</tt>", since the SelectionDAG does not have a
native '<tt>not</tt>' operation. Targets can define their own short-hand
fragments as they see fit. See the definition of '<tt>not</tt>' and
'<tt>ineg</tt>' for examples.</li>
<li>In addition to instructions, targets can specify arbitrary patterns that
map to one or more instructions using the 'Pat' class. For example,
the PowerPC has no way to load an arbitrary integer immediate into a
register in one instruction. To tell tblgen how to do this, it defines:
<br>
<br>
<div class="doc_code">
<pre>
// Arbitrary immediate support. Implement in terms of LIS/ORI.
def : Pat&lt;(i32 imm:$imm),
(ORI (LIS (HI16 imm:$imm)), (LO16 imm:$imm))&gt;;
</pre>
</div>
<br>
If none of the single-instruction patterns for loading an immediate into a
register match, this will be used. This rule says "match an arbitrary i32
immediate, turning it into an <tt>ORI</tt> ('or a 16-bit immediate') and an
<tt>LIS</tt> ('load 16-bit immediate, where the immediate is shifted to the
left 16 bits') instruction". To make this work, the
<tt>LO16</tt>/<tt>HI16</tt> node transformations are used to manipulate the
input immediate (in this case, take the high or low 16-bits of the
immediate).</li>
<li>While the system does automate a lot, it still allows you to write custom
C++ code to match special cases if there is something that is hard to
express.</li>
</ul>
<p>While it has many strengths, the system currently has some limitations,
primarily because it is a work in progress and is not yet finished:</p>
<ul>
<li>Overall, there is no way to define or match SelectionDAG nodes that define
multiple values (e.g. <tt>ADD_PARTS</tt>, <tt>LOAD</tt>, <tt>CALL</tt>,
etc). This is the biggest reason that you currently still <em>have to</em>
write custom C++ code for your instruction selector.</li>
<li>There is no great way to support matching complex addressing modes yet. In
the future, we will extend pattern fragments to allow them to define
multiple values (e.g. the four operands of the <a href="#x86_memory">X86
addressing mode</a>). In addition, we'll extend fragments so that a
fragment can match multiple different patterns.</li>
<li>We don't automatically infer flags like isStore/isLoad yet.</li>
<li>We don't automatically generate the set of supported registers and
operations for the <a href="#selectiondag_legalize">Legalizer</a> yet.</li>
<li>We don't have a way of tying in custom legalized nodes yet.</li>
</ul>
<p>Despite these limitations, the instruction selector generator is still quite
useful for most of the binary and logical operations in typical instruction
sets. If you run into any problems or can't figure out how to do something,
please let Chris know!</p>

<p>Live Intervals are the ranges (intervals) where a variable is <i>live</i>.
They are used by some <a href="#regalloc">register allocator</a> passes to
determine if two or more virtual registers which require the same physical
register are live at the same point in the program (i.e., they conflict). When
this situation occurs, one virtual register must be <i>spilled</i>.</p>
</div>
<!-- _______________________________________________________________________ -->
<div class="doc_subsubsection">
<a name="livevariable_analysis">Live Variable Analysis</a>
</div>
<div class="doc_text">
<p>The first step in determining the live intervals of variables is to
calculate the set of registers that are immediately dead after the
instruction (i.e., the instruction calculates the value, but it is
never used) and the set of registers that are used by the instruction,
but are never used after the instruction (i.e., they are killed). Live
variable information is computed for each <i>virtual</i> register and
<i>register allocatable</i> physical register in the function. This
is done in a very efficient manner because it uses SSA to sparsely
compute lifetime information for virtual registers (which are in SSA
form) and only has to track physical registers within a block. Before
register allocation, LLVM can assume that physical registers are only
live within a single basic block. This allows it to do a single,
local analysis to resolve physical register lifetimes within each
basic block. If a physical register is not register allocatable (e.g.,
a stack pointer or condition codes), it is not tracked.</p>
<p>Physical registers may be live in to or out of a function. Live in values
are typically arguments in registers. Live out values are typically return
values in registers. Live in values are marked as such, and are given a dummy
"defining" instruction during live intervals analysis. If the last basic block
of a function is a <tt>return</tt>, then it's marked as using all live out
values in the function.</p>
<p><tt>PHI</tt> nodes need to be handled specially, because the calculation
of the live variable information from a depth first traversal of the CFG of
the function won't guarantee that a virtual register used by the <tt>PHI</tt>
node is defined before it's used. When a <tt>PHI</tt> node is encounted, only
the definition is handled, because the uses will be handled in other basic
blocks.</p>
<p>For each <tt>PHI</tt> node of the current basic block, we simulate an
assignment at the end of the current basic block and traverse the successor
basic blocks. If a successor basic block has a <tt>PHI</tt> node and one of
the <tt>PHI</tt> node's operands is coming from the current basic block,
then the variable is marked as <i>alive</i> within the current basic block
and all of its predecessor basic blocks, until the basic block with the
defining instruction is encountered.</p>

the end of the basic block. Live intervals for virtual registers are computed

a different number of physical registers. If the number of physical

<i>spilled virtuals</i>.</p>

<!-- _______________________________________________________________________ -->
<div class="doc_subsubsection">
<a name="regAlloc_represent">How registers are represented in LLVM</a>
</div>
<div class="doc_text">
<p>In LLVM, physical registers are denoted by integer numbers that
normally range from 1 to 1023. To see how this numbering is defined
for a particular architecture, you can read the
<tt>GenRegisterNames.inc</tt> file for that architecture. For
instance, by inspecting
<tt>lib/Target/X86/X86GenRegisterNames.inc</tt> we see that the 32-bit
register <tt>EAX</tt> is denoted by 15, and the MMX register
<tt>MM0</tt> is mapped to 48.</p>
<p>Some architectures contain registers that share the same physical
location. A notable example is the X86 platform. For instance, in the
X86 architecture, the registers <tt>EAX</tt>, <tt>AX</tt> and
<tt>AL</tt> share the first eight bits. These physical registers are
marked as <i>aliased</i> in LLVM. Given a particular architecture, you
can check which registers are aliased by inspecting its
<tt>RegisterInfo.td</tt> file. Moreover, the method
<tt>MRegisterInfo::getAliasSet(p_reg)</tt> returns an array containing
all the physical registers aliased to the register <tt>p_reg</tt>.</p>
<p>Physical registers, in LLVM, are grouped in <i>Register Classes</i>.
Elements in the same register class are functionally equivalent, and can
be interchangeably used. Each virtual register can only be mapped to
physical registers of a particular class. For instance, in the X86
architecture, some virtuals can only be allocated to 8 bit registers.
A register class is described by <tt>TargetRegisterClass</tt> objects.
To discover if a virtual register is compatible with a given physical,
this code can be used:
</p>
<div class="doc_code">
<pre>
bool RegMapping_Fer::compatible_class(MachineFunction &amp;mf,
unsigned v_reg,
unsigned p_reg) {
assert(MRegisterInfo::isPhysicalRegister(p_reg) &amp;&amp;
"Target register must be physical");
const TargetRegisterClass *trc = mf.getSSARegMap()->getRegClass(v_reg);
return trc->contains(p_reg);
}
</pre>
</div>
<p>Sometimes, mostly for debugging purposes, it is useful to change
the number of physical registers available in the target
architecture. This must be done statically, inside the
<tt>TargetRegsterInfo.td</tt> file. Just <tt>grep</tt> for
<tt>RegisterClass</tt>, the last parameter of which is a list of
registers. Just commenting some out is one simple way to avoid them
being used. A more polite way is to explicitly exclude some registers
from the <i>allocation order</i>. See the definition of the
<tt>GR</tt> register class in
<tt>lib/Target/IA64/IA64RegisterInfo.td</tt> for an example of this
(e.g., <tt>numReservedRegs</tt> registers are hidden.)</p>
<p>Virtual registers are also denoted by integer numbers. Contrary to
physical registers, different virtual registers never share the same
number. The smallest virtual register is normally assigned the number
1024. This may change, so, in order to know which is the first virtual
register, you should access
<tt>MRegisterInfo::FirstVirtualRegister</tt>. Any register whose
number is greater than or equal to
<tt>MRegisterInfo::FirstVirtualRegister</tt> is considered a virtual
register. Whereas physical registers are statically defined in a
<tt>TargetRegisterInfo.td</tt> file and cannot be created by the
application developer, that is not the case with virtual registers.
In order to create new virtual registers, use the method
<tt>SSARegMap::createVirtualRegister()</tt>. This method will return a
virtual register with the highest code.
</p>
<p>Before register allocation, the operands of an instruction are
mostly virtual registers, although physical registers may also be
used. In order to check if a given machine operand is a register, use
the boolean function <tt>MachineOperand::isRegister()</tt>. To obtain
the integer code of a register, use
<tt>MachineOperand::getReg()</tt>. An instruction may define or use a
register. For instance, <tt>ADD reg:1026 := reg:1025 reg:1024</tt>
defines the registers 1024, and uses registers 1025 and 1026. Given a
register operand, the method <tt>MachineOperand::isUse()</tt> informs
if that register is being used by the instruction. The method
<tt>MachineOperand::isDef()</tt> informs if that registers is being
defined.</p>
<p>We will call physical registers present in the LLVM bytecode before
register allocation <i>pre-colored registers</i>. Pre-colored
registers are used in many different situations, for instance, to pass
parameters of functions calls, and to store results of particular
instructions. There are two types of pre-colored registers: the ones
<i>implicitly</i> defined, and those <i>explicitly</i>
defined. Explicitly defined registers are normal operands, and can be
accessed with <tt>MachineInstr::getOperand(int)::getReg()</tt>. In
order to check which registers are implicitly defined by an
instruction, use the
<tt>TargetInstrInfo::get(opcode)::ImplicitDefs</tt>, where
<tt>opcode</tt> is the opcode of the target instruction. One important
difference between explicit and implicit physical registers is that
the latter are defined statically for each instruction, whereas the
former may vary depending on the program being compiled. For example,
an instruction that represents a function call will always implicitly
define or use the same set of physical registers. To read the
registers implicitly used by an instruction, use
<tt>TargetInstrInfo::get(opcode)::ImplicitUses</tt>. Pre-colored
registers impose constraints on any register allocation algorithm. The
register allocator must make sure that none of them is been
overwritten by the values of virtual registers while still alive.</p>

<a name="regAlloc_howTo">Mapping virtual registers to physical registers</a>
</div>
<div class="doc_text">
<p>There are two ways to map virtual registers to physical registers (or to
memory slots). The first way, that we will call <i>direct mapping</i>,
is based on the use of methods of the classes <tt>MRegisterInfo</tt>,
and <tt>MachineOperand</tt>. The second way, that we will call
<i>indirect mapping</i>, relies on the <tt>VirtRegMap</tt> class in
order to insert loads and stores sending and getting values to and from
memory.</p>
<p>The direct mapping provides more flexibility to the developer of
the register allocator; however, it is more error prone, and demands
more implementation work. Basically, the programmer will have to
specify where load and store instructions should be inserted in the
target function being compiled in order to get and store values in
memory. To assign a physical register to a virtual register present in
a given operand, use <tt>MachineOperand::setReg(p_reg)</tt>. To insert
a store instruction, use
<tt>MRegisterInfo::storeRegToStackSlot(...)</tt>, and to insert a load
instruction, use <tt>MRegisterInfo::loadRegFromStackSlot</tt>.</p>
<p>The indirect mapping shields the application developer from the
complexities of inserting load and store instructions. In order to map
a virtual register to a physical one, use
<tt>VirtRegMap::assignVirt2Phys(vreg, preg)</tt>. In order to map a
certain virtual register to memory, use
<tt>VirtRegMap::assignVirt2StackSlot(vreg)</tt>. This method will
return the stack slot where <tt>vreg</tt>'s value will be located. If
it is necessary to map another virtual register to the same stack
slot, use <tt>VirtRegMap::assignVirt2StackSlot(vreg,
stack_location)</tt>. One important point to consider when using the
indirect mapping, is that even if a virtual register is mapped to
memory, it still needs to be mapped to a physical register. This
physical register is the location where the virtual register is
supposed to be found before being stored or after being reloaded.</p>
<p>If the indirect strategy is used, after all the virtual registers
have been mapped to physical registers or stack slots, it is necessary
to use a spiller object to place load and store instructions in the
code. Every virtual that has been mapped to a stack slot will be
stored to memory after been defined and will be loaded before being
used. The implementation of the spiller tries to recycle load/store
instructions, avoiding unnecessary instructions. For an example of how
to invoke the spiller, see
<tt>RegAllocLinearScan::runOnMachineFunction</tt> in
<tt>lib/CodeGen/RegAllocLinearScan.cpp</tt>.</p>

<a name="regAlloc_twoAddr">Handling two address instructions</a>
</div>
<div class="doc_text">
<p>With very rare exceptions (e.g., function calls), the LLVM machine
code instructions are three address instructions. That is, each
instruction is expected to define at most one register, and to use at
most two registers. However, some architectures use two address
instructions. In this case, the defined register is also one of the
used register. For instance, an instruction such as <tt>ADD %EAX,
%EBX</tt>, in X86 is actually equivalent to <tt>%EAX = %EAX +
%EBX</tt>.</p>
<p>In order to produce correct code, LLVM must convert three address
instructions that represent two address instructions into true two
address instructions. LLVM provides the pass
<tt>TwoAddressInstructionPass</tt> for this specific purpose. It must
be run before register allocation takes place. After its execution,
the resulting code may no longer be in SSA form. This happens, for
instance, in situations where an instruction such as <tt>%a = ADD %b
%c</tt> is converted to two instructions such as:</p>
<div class="doc_code">
<pre>
%a = MOVE %b
%a = ADD %a %b
</pre>
</div>
<p>Notice that, internally, the second instruction is represented as
<tt>ADD %a[def/use] %b</tt>. I.e., the register operand <tt>%a</tt> is
both used and defined by the instruction.</p>

<a name="regAlloc_ssaDecon">The SSA deconstruction phase</a>
</div>
<div class="doc_text">
<p>An important transformation that happens during register allocation is called
the <i>SSA Deconstruction Phase</i>. The SSA form simplifies many
analyses that are performed on the control flow graph of
programs. However, traditional instruction sets do not implement
PHI instructions. Thus, in order to generate executable code, compilers
must replace PHI instructions with other instructions that preserve their
semantics.</p>
<p>There are many ways in which PHI instructions can safely be removed
from the target code. The most traditional PHI deconstruction
algorithm replaces PHI instructions with copy instructions. That is
the strategy adopted by LLVM. The SSA deconstruction algorithm is
implemented in n<tt>lib/CodeGen/>PHIElimination.cpp</tt>. In order to
invoke this pass, the identifier <tt>PHIEliminationID</tt> must be
marked as required in the code of the register allocator.</p>

<a name="regAlloc_fold">Instruction folding</a>
</div>
<div class="doc_text">
<p><i>Instruction folding</i> is an optimization performed during

</div>
<p>can be safely substituted by the single instruction:

<p>Instructions can be folded with the
<tt>MRegisterInfo::foldMemoryOperand(...)</tt> method. Care must be
taken when folding instructions; a folded instruction can be quite
different from the original instruction. See

is used. Second, r31 is used as a frame pointer to allow dynamic growth of a
stack frame. LLVM takes advantage of having no TOC to provide space to save
the frame pointer in the PowerPC linkage area of the caller frame. Other
details of PowerPC ABI can be found at <a href=
"http://developer.apple.com/documentation/DeveloperTools/Conceptual/LowLevelABI/Articles/32bitPowerPC.html"

then a base pointer (r31) is used as a proxy for the stack pointer and stack
pointer is free to grow or shrink. A base pointer is also used if llvm-gcc is
not passed the -fomit-frame-pointer flag. The stack pointer is always aligned to
16 bytes, so that space allocated for altivec vectors will be properly

<p>The <i>parameter area</i> is used to store arguments being passed to a callee
function. Following the PowerPC ABI, the first few arguments are actually
passed in registers, with the space in the parameter area unused. However, if
there are not enough registers or the callee is a thunk or vararg function,
these register arguments can be spilled into the parameter area. Thus, the
parameter area must be large enough to store all the parameters for the largest
call sequence made by the caller. The size must also be mimimally large enough
to spill registers r3-r10. This allows callees blind to the call signature,
such as thunks and vararg functions, enough space to cache the argument
registers. Therefore, the parameter area is minimally 32 bytes (64 bytes in 64
bit mode.) Also note that since the parameter area is a fixed offset from the
top of the frame, that a callee can access its spilt arguments using fixed
offsets from the stack pointer (or base pointer.)</p>

areas is minor since only the link value needs to be copied. The link value can
