[llvm-dev] LSR

[Jonas Paulsson via llvm-dev]

Hi,

I find that LSR is not helping enough on avoiding unfoldable offsets for 
SystemZ. When the loop has three stores with unfoldable offsets, LSR 
rewrites the IV in a good way. However, if adding another store with a 
foldable offset that fits already, LSR fails to rewrite the three stores.

And if I happen to add a too big *positive* offset (the first three were 
negative) instead of a foldable one, only the positive gets transformed.

* LSR is not rewriting the IV to have three foldable offsets rather than 
one.

* It would actually be preferred in this case to use a second address 
register for the offset that is too far away from the others.

Has anyone any idea on how to best handle this? Can LSR "split" an IV to 
use an extra register? Or would this need to be done in a target 
specific pass?

For a reduced test case for this problem, see

Thanks,

Jonas
