[llvm-dev] Potential bug in SelectionDAGLegalize::ConvertNodeToLibcall()?

Fri Jan 4 09:00:49 PST 2019

Aside from the fact that you're checking for i64 specifically instead of generally checking for illegal types, how much of this is really PPC specific? Would this be a reasonable enhancement to the SDAG logic in general?

The changes seem fine to me. I don't think this is excessively intrusive and it accomplishes what is needed by targets whose call lowering can introduce illegal types.
Adding Justin Bogner as the owner of SDAG and Hal Finkel as the PPC back end owner for their opinions.

Hi Nemanja,

I'm attaching a patch that builds on D54583 and implements what we
discussed on IRC earlier today.  Particularly:

* Make LowerCallTo() a virtual function, so it can be wrapped by a
  subclass.
* Implement LowerCallTo() in PPCTargetLowering to wrap
  TargetLowering::LowerCallTo() and legalize the return node when
  targeting SPE.
* Augment PPCTargetLowering::LowerCall_32SVR4() to legalize MVT::f64
  arguments that have been pre-processed into
  EXTRACT_ELEMENT(i64 BITCAST f64, 0/1)

The purpose of this being to legalize intermediate illegal types
post-type legalization.

Is there a better approach?  Comments from anyone else?
