[LV][TTI] Calculate cost of extracting last index in a scalable vector (#144086) There are a couple of places in the loop vectoriser where we want to calculate the cost of extracting the last lane in a vector. However, we wrongly assume that asking for the cost of extracting lane (VF.getKnownMinValue() - 1) is an accurate representation of the cost of extracting the last lane. For SVE at least, this is non-trivial as it requires the use of whilelo and lastb instructions. To solve this problem I have added a new getReverseVectorInstrCost interface where the index is used in reverse from the end of the vector. Suppose a vector has a given ElementCount EC, the extracted/inserted lane would be EC - 1 - Index. For scalable vectors this index is unknown at compile time. I've added a AArch64 hook that better represents the cost, and also a RISCV hook that maintains compatibility with the behaviour prior to this PR. I've also taken the liberty of adding support in vplan for calculating the cost of VPInstruction::ExtractLastElement.
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.
