[PATCH] D55444: AMDGPU: Fix DPP combiner

[Matt Arsenault via Phabricator via llvm-commits]

arsenm added inline comments.


================
Comment at: lib/Target/AMDGPU/GCNDPPCombine.cpp:476
       BB->insert(OrigMI, NewMI);
       if (TII->commuteInstruction(*NewMI)) {
         LLVM_DEBUG(dbgs() << "  commuted:  " << *NewMI);

If it succeeds, continue down the same path that is used for the `&Use == src0` case. You end up with only a single call to `createDPPInst` and less code duplication in general.

Can rollback be avoided?

I think the usual purpose of knowing something changed is to know if iterators are still valid, which probably isn't the case if anything was modified at any point
