[LLVMdev] [PATCH] RegScavenger::scavengeRegister

[Akira Hatanaka]

This patch adds parameter "EliminateFI" to RegScavenger::scavengeRegister,
which tells register scavenger not to eliminate frame index of the
emergency spill slot if set to false.

I have pseudo load, store and copy instructions which are generated during
register allocation and expanded post-RA but before the final stack size is
known. I use register scavenger to search for a temporary integer GPR that
is used during pseudo-expansion.

This is what happens during pseudo-expansion:

The following pseudo

LoadAC $acc, FI // Pseudo load instructions. Load from FI to accumulator
$acc.


is expanded into this sequence:

LW $reg, FI         // load from FI to temporary GPR $reg
MTLO $reg         // copy $reg to register LO
LW $reg, FI + 4   // load from FI+4 to GPR $reg
MTHI $reg          // copy $reg to register HI
