[llvm-dev] Handling node through TargetLowering::LowerOperation vs TargetLowering::ReplaceNodeResults

[Craig Topper via llvm-dev]

ReplaceNodeResults is called by the type legalizer for custom legalizing
any of the results of a node that have an illegal type.

LowerOperation is called by the type legalizer to custom legalize node
inputs that have an illegal type. I believe technically it calls
LowerOperationWrapper, but that forwards to LowerOperation by default.

LowerOperation is also called for custom legalizing nodes with legal types
after type legalization by both the vector op legalizer and the DAG
legalizer. In those cases LowerOperation is called directly and does not
call LowerOperationWrapper.
