[LoongArch] Mark VPICK_ZEXT_ELT as zero-extending in computeKnownBits (#187177) Teach computeKnownBitsForTargetNode that VPICK_ZEXT_ELT produces a zero-extended result. VPICK_ZEXT_ELT extracts a narrower element (e.g. i16) and returns it in a larger integer type (e.g. i64) with the upper bits guaranteed to be zero. However, without KnownBits information, LLVM treats the upper bits as unknown, which inhibits optimizations. By marking all bits above the source element width as known zero, this enables DAG combine and other optimizations to eliminate redundant operations such as AND masks and SIGN_EXTEND_INREG. For example, this allows patterns like: (sign_extend_inreg (VPICK_ZEXT_ELT ...), i32) to be simplified when the sign bit is known to be zero.
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.
