[llvm-dev] Doubts

[Pedro Lopes via llvm-dev]

Thanks, indeed it was on the LegalizeDAG.cpp and the information proved
very useful.

I also realized that the customization, promotion or expansion will occur
whenever any operand, with the same type as the type specified on the
second argument (MVT) of setOperationAction function, appears. (Correct me
if I'm wrong).

The second doubt I have regards instruction matching.

When I define a pattern such as:
[(set i32:$dst, (add (mul i32:$src1, i32:$src2), i32:$src3))]>

What is the meaning of the word "set" or "store" which appear quite often?
>From what I can understand this pattern is only interest in an add node
with a mul node as one operator and an immediate as the other.
Does the "set" (keyword?) translates to an output of the add node, or just
another node?

Thanks,
Patosga
