[llvm-dev] Memory-to-memory .td example?

[Ryan Taylor via llvm-dev]

Here's an example of how we are doing this, in table gen, of a mem, mem,
mem operation:

def directStore : PatFrag<(ops node:$ptr, node:$val), (store node:$ptr,
node:$val), [{.... we have some conditions here, etc... }]>;

class SetABDIn<string asmstr, DAGOperand srcA, DAGOperand srcB, DAGOperand
dstD, list<dag pattern>
                   : A_B_D<(outs), (ins srcA:$srcA, srcB:$srcB, dstD:$dstD),
                   !strconcat(asmstr, "\t$srcA, $srcB, $dstD"), pattern,
IIAlu>
{
        let mayStore = 1;
        let mayLoad = 1;
      // whatever else here
}

multiclass ABD<string asmstr, SDPatternOperator OpNode, RegisterClass
srcAReg, RegisterClass srcBReg,
                          RegisterClass dstReg, ValueType srcAType,
ValueType srcBType, ValueType dstType,
                          Operand ImmOd, ImmLeaf imm_type>
{
       def MEM_MEM_MEM: SetABDIn<asmstr, memXX, memXX, memXX,
                          [{directStore (OpNode (srcAType (load
addr:$srcA)), (srcBType (load addr:$srcB)), addr:$dstD)]>;
      // there are other combinations here, etc...
}

You obviously won't be able to use this directly but I hope this gives you
an idea, I hope I understood your question correctly, apologies if I did
not.

Thanks,

ps. If your architecture can do mem-mem operations, you will run into
problems because common sub will always want to load the value into a
register if it's being used more than once, we're having to generate a
backend pass to reverse this, just fyi.
