[CodeGen] Fold load into LZCNT/TZCNT/POPCNT after compare elimination in peephole optimizer (#194662) When a loaded value feeds both a bit-count instruction (LZCNT/TZCNT/POPCNT) and an `icmp eq zero` / `select` sequence, ISel emits the register form (`rr`) because the loaded value has two uses at that point. The peephole optimizer later eliminates the redundant compare (recognizing that LZCNT/TZCNT/POPCNT already set the necessary EFLAGS), but failed to retry folding the load into the now single-use bit-count instruction — because that instruction had already been scanned. The fix pre-saves the compared register before `optimizeCmpInstr` erases the compare. After successful elimination, if the EFLAGS producer and its defining load are both already-scanned and now have a single use, fold immediately via `TII->optimizeLoadInstr`. Before: ``` movq (%rdi), %rax lzcntq %rax, %rax cmovbq %rsi, %rax ``` After: ``` lzcntq (%rdi), %rax cmovbq %rsi, %rax ``` Fixes #164782
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.
