[llvm-dev] backend define a register with multiple types

[Xiangyang Guo via llvm-dev]

Hi,

I want to define a register with multiple types for a particular backend. I
checked the RegisterInfo.td for ARM backend, which covers this case. I
tried to do the similar thing but I got errors when I build the backend.

I did this as following:

In the RegisterInfo.td, I define the register class like this:

*def GRRegs : RegisterClass<"FOO", [i32, f32], 32, (add R0, R1, R2, R3)>;*

In the InstrInfo.td, I define the instruction like this:

*def ADDINT: InstFOO<(outs GRRegs:$dst),*
*                   (ins GRRegs:$src1, GRRegs:$src2),*
*                   "add-int $dst, $src1, $src2",*
*                   [(set i32:$dst, (add i32:$src1, i32:$src2))]>;*

*def ADDFLOAT: InstFOO<(outs GRRegs:$dst),*
*                   (ins GRRegs:$src1, GRRegs:$src2),*
*                   "add-float $dst, $src1, $src2",*
*                   [(set f32:$dst, (add f32:$src1, f32:$src2))]>;*

Then when I build the backend, it gives me this error:
*error: In ADDFLOAT: Type inference contradiction found, merging 'i32' into
'f32'*

I appreciate if if anyone can point out my errors or give me any
suggestions to make a register with multiple types works?

Regards,

Xiangyang
