Greedy: Make trySplitAroundHintReg try to match hints with subreg copies (#160294) This is essentially the same patch as 116ca9522e89f1e4e02676b5bbe505e80c4d4933; when trying to match a physreg hint, try to find a compatible physreg if there is a subregister copy. This has the slight difference of using getSubReg on the hint instead of getMatchingSuperReg (the other use should also use getSubReg instead, it's faster). At the moment this turns out to have very little effect. The adjacent code needs better handling of subregisters, so continue adding this piecemeal. The X86 test shows a net reduction in real instructions, plus a few new kills.
Welcome to the LLVM project!
This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.
The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called “LLVM”. This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.
C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.
Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
Consult the Getting Started with LLVM page for information on building and running LLVM.
