[NVPTX] Generalize and extend upsizing when lowering 8/16-bit-element vector loads/stores (#119622) This addresses the following issue I opened: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/118851. This change generalizes the Type Legalization mechanism that currently handles `v8[i/f/bf]16` upsizing to include loads _and_ stores of `v8i8` + `v16i8`, allowing all of the mentioned vectors to be lowered to ptx as vectors of `b32`. This extension also allows us to remove the DagCombine that only handled exactly `load v16i8`, thus centralizing all the upsizing logic into one place. Test changes include adding v8i8, v16i8, and v8i16 cases to load-store.ll, and updating the CHECKs for other tests to match the improved codegen.
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.
