[LLVMdev] Does Mips resolve hazard in pre-ra-sched or post-ra-sched?

[Akira Hatanaka]

Mips invokes the post-RA scheduler only when OptLevel > Aggressive, so you
will have to compile with -O3.

You can also invoke the MI (pre-RA) scheduler with llc option
"-enable-misched". As you have pointed out, the post-isel scheduler is
mandatory, and therefore you don't have to give any command line options.

Currently, mips has only one generic scheduling itinerary model in
MipsSchedule.td that is not tailored to any specific core, so you might
have to tweak it to have the scheduler generate efficient code for your
target.
