[llvm-dev] How to use the VLIW Packetizer

[陳韋任 via llvm-dev]

I have read the documentation, but it is not clear to me how can I use the
> LLVM VLIW Packetizer to generate packets (or bundles) of independent

> I use this feature? How can I specify the characteristics of the target
> VLIW architecture e.g. number of functional units available?

​I guess you already read the document [1]? The example I know of is test
case and source code itself.
Please read HexagonVLIWPacketizer.cpp [2], play with some test cases under
test/CodeGen/Hexagon,
say cext-valid-packet1.ll, to see how things go.
