[AArch64] Tweak truncate costs for some scalable vector types (#119542) == We were previously returning an invalid cost when truncating anything to <vscale x 2 x i1>, which is incorrect since we can generate perfectly good code for this. == The costs for truncating legal or unpacked types to predicates seemed overly optimistic. For example, when truncating <vscale x 8 x i16> to <vscale x 8 x i1> we typically do something like and z0.h, z0.h, #0x1 cmpne p0.h, p0/z, z0.h, #0 I guess it might depend upon whether the input value is generated in the same block or not and if we can avoid the inreg zero-extend. However, it feels safe to take the more conservative cost here. == The costs for some truncates such as trunc <vscale x 2 x i32> %a to <vscale x 2 x i16> were 1, whereas in actual fact they are free and no instructions are required. == Also, for this trunc <vscale x 8 x i32> %a to <vscale x 8 x i16> it's just a single uzp1 instruction so I reduced the cost to 1. In general, I've added costs for all cases where the destination type is legal or unpacked. One unfortunate side effect of this is the costs for some fixed-width truncates when using SVE now look too optimistic.
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.

The LLVM project has adopted a code of conduct for participants to all modes of communication within the project.
