[PATCH] Enable partial update depency breaking for A15

[Silviu Baranga]

Hi Renato,

I've modified the patch according to your comments. The tests should
now be much better documented.

Is it ok to commit?

Cheers,
Silviu

I should have added some comments to these tests (will do so tomorrow).
The generated code uses a vld1.32 instruction to write the lane 1 of a D register
containing the value of <2 x float> %B. Since the D register is defined, it would
be incorrect to fully write it (with a vmov.f64) before the vld1.32 instruction.
Test checks that a vmov.f64 was not generated.

Oh, I see. Makes sense. That as a comment would be great in the test. ;)


It could be anything that writes the D register, it doesn't matter. The
existing code uses a FCONSTD (vmov.f64) to write the D register before the
vld1.32 instruction (or other instructions that partially update D registers)
in order to break the existing dependencies on the D register.

That's what I though, ok. It'd be better to test for something a bit more generic, since it could be many other types of VMOVs on D regs.

Maybe:

; CHECK: vmov{{.*}}d{{[0-9]+}},

or something. It also makes it more explicit what you're expecting, leaving less need for a comment right before it.


Thanks!
