[LLVMdev] MIPS 32bit code generation

[Akira Hatanaka]

Do you want to replace

lui $2, %hi(g1)
addiu $2, $2, %lo(g1)

with this?
la $2, g1

If that is the case, you can add this pattern.

def op_la : Operand<i32>;

def LA :
  FI<0x09, (outs CPURegs:$dst), (ins op_la:$addr0, op_la:$addr1),
     "la $dst, $addr0", [(set CPURegs:$dst,
                         (add (MipsHi tglobaladdr:$addr0), (MipsLo
tglobaladdr:$addr1)))], IIAlu>;

Note that you still need to find a way to print "g1" instead of "%hi(g1)".
