@craig.topper IIRC you were looking at ways to pull the X86InstrInfo.cpp folding tables into their own file and then later attempting to autogen the tables again - is that still the plan? These cost tables are likely to take a similar path.



================
Comment at: lib/Target/X86/X86TargetTransformInfo.cpp:658
+  static const SchedCostTblEntry AVX1CostTable[] = {
+    { ISD::FADD,  MVT::v4f64,   2, { X86::VADDPDYrr } },
+    { ISD::FADD,  MVT::v8f32,   2, { X86::VADDPSYrr } },

Update: I haven't found a way to avoid having to use SmallVector to create the code sequences, including if I move the tables into the global namespace - all approaches I've tried seem to have constexpr issues with initialization at compile time - mainly as the sequences appear as std::initializer_list - I'm open to suggestions........
