   Hello.
     I managed to fix the bug reported earlier here.
     An important reason it failed is that vectoraddr took 5 arguments instead of just 1 
(meaning the C++ helper method selectVectorAddr() took 5 reference parameters which are 
used as return values), and I was not setting these arguments to proper values before 
returning from the function. (Note also, that, although, in this email I don't talk about 
masked_scatter, we need to give in the constructor of TargetLowering to avoid errors: 
setOperationAction(ISD::MSCATTER, aType, Legal); ).

     Now, the correct TableGen spec for gather is:
     /* Because of the SDNPMemOperand attribute of masked_gather it seems
           we need to make the index operator a memory operand.
         It also seems we need to make it a scalar operand by using iPTR and use a C++
            method that returns a vector type. */
     // Gather mem operands
     def ScatterGatherMemOperand : Operand<iPTR> {
       let PrintMethod = "printScatterGatherMemOperand";
       let MIOperandInfo = (ops MSA128D);
     }

     /* 1 means selectVectorAddr() takes 1 extra argument, in this case reference
          int Index which we set with N->getIndex(). Otherwise, the 3rd parameter of
          masked_gather would receive the base pointer IIRC. */
     def vectoraddr : ComplexPattern<iPTR, 1, "selectVectorAddr", [], [SDNPWantParent]>;

     // Inspired from [REPO]/llvm/lib/Target/X86/X86InstrAVX512.td
     class LD_INDIRECT_DESC_BASE<
                                 RegisterOperand ROWD,
                                 RegisterOperand ROWSP = ROWD,
                                 InstrItinClass itin = NoItinerary> {
       dag OutOperandList = (outs ROWD:$wd, BoolMaskOpnd:$wdm);
       dag InOperandList = (ins ROWSP:$wsp, // passthru register
                             BoolMaskOpnd:$wsm, // mask register
                             ScatterGatherMemOperand:$wsi // index register
                           );
       string AsmString = "$wd = LS[$wsi]; // READ (gather)";
       list<dag> Pattern = [(set ROWD:$wd, BoolMaskOpnd:$wdm,
                 (masked_gather
                       ROWSP:$wsp, BoolMaskOpnd:$wsm, vectoraddr:$wsi)
                 )];
       InstrItinClass Itinerary = itin;
       string DecoderMethod = "DecodeMSA128Mem";
     }
     class LD_INDIRECT_D_DESC : LD_INDIRECT_DESC_BASE<MSA128DOpnd>;
     class LD_INDIRECT_D_ENC : MSA_3R_FMT<0b101001110>;
     def LD_INDIRECT_D: LD_INDIRECT_D_ENC, LD_INDIRECT_D_DESC;


     Note that at selection time, the ConnexDAGToDAGISel::selectVectorAddr() method is 
called. This method is responsible for taking both vector address (by calling getIndex()) 
and base-pointer (by calling getBasePtr()) parameters of the machine-independent SDNode 
and assembling them in one iPTR parameter, as required by the machine instruction 
ISD::MGATHER. Note that the parameters differ quite a bit between the machine-independent 
masked_gather and the machine instruction ISD::MGATHER, whose parameters are specified by 
the SDTMaskedGather TableGen record.

     Note that we need to pass a vector of pointers obtained with the LLVM IR instruction 
getelementptr to the gather instr - see 
http://llvm.org/docs/LangRef.html#llvm-masked-gather-intrinsics for list of arguments, etc.
     An example of LLVM IR program that llc is able to compile is:
         %myOnes = add <128 x i16> zeroinitializer, <i16 1,...>
         %B = inttoptr i16 51 to i16*
         %VectorGep = getelementptr i16, i16* %B, <128 x i16> %myOnes
         %gatherResMyOnes = call <128 x i16> @llvm.masked.gather.v128i16(<128 x i16*> 
%VectorGep, i32 4, <128 x i1> <i1 true,...>
         ...

   Wish you Merry Xmas!
     Alex
