[LLVMdev] LLVM register number for MIPS DAGToDAG

[Daniel Sanders]

Hi,

You are currently printing LLVM's internal register numbers rather than the target register numbers. If you look at lib/Target/Mips/MipsGenRegisterInfo.inc (a generated file in your build directory), you should see that the numbers correspond to an enum value near the start of the file. In my build, MipsGenRegisterInfo.inc contains:
  namespace mips
  enum {
    ...
    V1 = 290,
    ...
    };
  }
V1 is another name for $3, so 290 is the correct register number for $3. You need to pass this number to MipsInstPrinter::getRegisterName() to get the name used in assembly but note that this is a many-to-one mapping. Both V0 and V0_64 will produce $3. Similarly F0, F0_HI, D0, and D0_64 will all produce $f0.

The internal register numbers are different from the target register numbers because it is important to keep track of how registers overlap with each other. For example, F0, F0_HI, D0, and D0_64 are all printed as $f0, but they have different uses:

·         F0 is a 32-bit floating point value.

·         D0 is a 64-bit floating point value that overlaps with F0 and F1. It's only used for 32-bit FPU's.

·         F0_HI the top 32-bits of a 64-bit floating point value. It's only used for 64-bit FPU's.

·         D0_64 is a 64-bit value that overlaps with F0, and F0_HI. It's only used for 64-bit FPU's.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for your reply Quentin. I do understand that the registers are allocated much later in the pipeline.
I am assuming that the physical registers are allocated before MipsAsmPrinter class.
I am doing something like
  if (MI->getOpcode() == Mips::OPCODE) {
        unsigned n = MI->getNumOperands();
        for(unsigned i=0 ; i < n ; i++) {
            const MachineOperand &MO = MI->getOperand(i);
            if (MO.isReg())
            {
                fprintf(stderr,"int i is %u and reg is %d\n",i, MO.getReg());
            }
        }
  }
but I am still getting wrong physical register number.
For eg when the allocated register is 3 in assembly the output given by MO.getReg() is 290.
Any clues why is this the case?
Thanks,
Ambuj

The registers are allocated much later in the pipeline. At this stage, these are virtual registers.

What are you trying to achieved?
