[AArch64][GlobalISel] Add codegen for simd fpcvt intrinsics (#157680) This patch is a first in a series of patches that add codegen support for fcvt instructions that keep the result in 32-bit or 64-bit SIMD&FP registers. For a long time, LLVM primarily generated fpcvt instructions, which store the result in GPRs, resulting in extra moves when the value was used by NEON instructions that operate on SIMD&FP registers. Although patterns existed for generating the SIMD variants, they relied on single-element vector types (such as v1i32 or v1i64) to decide whether the SIMD variant should be selected. This was not useful, because many NEON intrinsics and other LLVM IR operations use scalar types (i32/i64) even though they expect the result to be stored in SIMD&FP registers. This patch is part of a series that addresses this and also adds support for generating these instructions in GlobalISel. To fix this in SelectionDAG, bitcasts of the result to a floating-point type serve as a hint that the SIMD variant of the conversion should be used, rather than relying on single-element vector types. These bitcasts are not currently generated by LLVM, but the goal is to add explicit bitcasts to the inputs and outputs of NEON intrinsics operating on integers in follow-up patches. For GlobalISel, the register bank selection algorithm is used to determine which variant to generate
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.
