[llvm-dev] Expected constant simplification not happening

I took a quick look at this and relaxed the conditions under which we prevent immediate subsumption (specifically, optsize and instruction shape), and I managed to merge 2 of those immediates. I need to dig in a little more to see why it didn’t catch the third. I suspect a phase ordering issue.

I’ll take a closer look at this as soon as I get a chance. If you could please attach a testcase to the bug report, I’d appreciate it.

Thanks,
Zia.

We have this transform with -Os for some cases after:
http://reviews.llvm.org/rL244601
http://reviews.llvm.org/D11363
but something in this example is causing the transform to not trigger.

I filed a related bug here:
https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=24448
If you can file your test case(s) in a bug report, that would be the best way to track progress on solving it. Thanks!

Hi

the appended IR code does not optimize to my liking :)

this is the interesting part in x86_64, that got produced via clang -Os:
---
        movq    -16(%r12), %rax
        movl    -4(%rax), %ecx
        andl    $2298949, %ecx          ## imm = 0x231445
        cmpq    $2298949, (%rax,%rcx)   ## imm = 0x231445
        leaq    8(%rax,%rcx), %rax
        cmovneq %r15, %rax
        movl    $2298949, %esi          ## imm = 0x231445
        movq    %r12, %rdi
        movq    %r14, %rdx
        callq   *(%rax)
---


and clang -O3:
---
        movq    -16(%r12), %rax
        movl    -4(%rax), %ecx
        andl    $2298949, %ecx          ## imm = 0x231445
        cmpl    $2298949, (%rax,%rcx)   ## imm = 0x231445
        jne     LBB1_4
        leaq    8(%rax,%rcx), %rax
        jmp     LBB1_5
        .align  4, 0x90
LBB1_4:
        movq    %r15, %rax
LBB1_5:
        movl    $2298949, %esi          ## imm = 0x231445
        movq    %r12, %rdi
        movq    %r14, %rdx
        callq   *(%rax)
---

As you can see in both cases the constant $2298949 is replicated 3 times. I would have expected something like the following code at least for -Os:

---
        movq    -16(%r12), %rax
        movl    $2298949, %esi          ### **** move on up
        movl    -4(%rax), %ecx
        andl    %esi, %ecx              ###
        cmpl    %esi, (%rax,%rcx)       ###
        leaq    8(%rax,%rcx), %rax
        cmovneq %r15, %rax
        movq    %r12, %rdi
        movq    %r14, %rdx
        callq   *(%rax)
---

It is much shorter (33 bytes vs. 42 bytes) and I would assume at least the same speed or better. This is with llvm 3.7.0. And yes this pains me at the moment :)

Ciao
