[llvm-dev] Duplicating node in SelectionDAG?

[Ryan Taylor via llvm-dev]

Matt,

 I guess this is my question. Even for code like this:

int a, b, c, d;

int main() {
   c =-a / b;
   d = a % b;
   return 0;
}

It still doesn't match to the pattern:

set dstReg:$dstD  (OpNode (srcAType (load addr32:$srcA)), (srcBType (load
addr32:$srcB)))

This one seems more obvious why, the d = a % b could be further down the
list and since the DAG is CSE'd it instead generates a copy to a register.

I'm not sure a ComplexPattern is going to solve this issue, I would think,
given the number of different chains possible. We might need some backend
propagation to propagate the memory load down into other instructions.

Has on one run into this issue before? This seems surprising.
