[LLVMdev] ARM backend playing with alternative jump table implementations

[robert muth]

Hi list:

I have been trying to get my feet wet with the ARM backend.
As a warmup exercise I wanted to be able to move
jumptables especially large ones out of the code section.
Currently the idiom for jump tables loooks like this

//          .set PCRELV0, (.LJTI9_0_0-(.LPCRELL0+8))
//  .LPCRELL0:
//          add r3, pc, #PCRELV0
//          ldr pc, [r3, +r0, lsl #2]
//  .LJTI9_0_0:
//          .long    .LBB9_2
//          .long    .LBB9_5
//          .long    .LBB9_7
//          .long    .LBB9_4
//          .long    .LBB9_8

I would like to be able to change this to something like:

            ldr r3, .POOL_ADDR
            ldr pc, [r3, +r0, lsl #2

.POOL_ADDR:
           .text .LJTI9_0_0:

           .data
  .LJTI9_0_0:
          .long    .LBB9_2
          .long    .LBB9_5
          .long    .LBB9_7
          .long    .LBB9_4
          .long    .LBB9_8
           .text

The code for the lowering lives mostly in SDValue
ARMTargetLowering::LowerBR_JT
with some more heavy lifting done  by ARMISD::WrapperJT
My attempts at this are marked in the code below.
My problem is to come up with the right item/value to put into the constant
pool.

SDValue ARMTargetLowering::LowerBR_JT(SDValue Op, SelectionDAG &DAG) {
  SDValue Chain = Op.getOperand(0);
  SDValue Table = Op.getOperand(1);
  SDValue Index = Op.getOperand(2);
  DebugLoc dl = Op.getDebugLoc();

  MVT PTy = getPointerTy();
  JumpTableSDNode *JT = cast<JumpTableSDNode>(Table);
  ARMFunctionInfo *AFI =
DAG.getMachineFunction().getInfo<ARMFunctionInfo>();
  SDValue UId =  DAG.getConstant(AFI->createJumpTableUId(), PTy);
  SDValue JTI = DAG.getTargetJumpTable(JT->getIndex(), PTy);

#if 1
// @@ GET TABLE BASE: current code
  Table = DAG.getNode(ARMISD::WrapperJT, MVT::i32, JTI, UId);
#else
  // @ MY ATTEMPT AT MOVING THIS OUT
  ARMConstantPoolValue *CPV = new ARMConstantPoolValue("a_jump_table", 666);
  SDValue TableValue = DAG.getTargetConstantPool(CPV, PTy, 2);
  SDValue CPAddr = DAG.getNode(ARMISD::Wrapper, MVT::i32, TableValue);
  Table = DAG.getLoad(PTy, dl, DAG.getEntryNode(), CPAddr, NULL, 0);
#endif

  Index = DAG.getNode(ISD::MUL, dl, PTy, Index, DAG.getConstant(4, PTy));
  //Index = DAG.getNode(ISD::MUL, dl, PTy, TableAddress, DAG.getConstant(4,
PTy));
  SDValue Addr = DAG.getNode(ISD::ADD, dl, PTy, Index, Table);SDValue APTy,
Index, Table);



Any help would be greatly appreciated.
