[llvm-dev] Help request about ReplaceNode in ISelDAGToDAG

[Nemanja Ivanovic via llvm-dev]

There isn't really enough information here to understand exactly what you
need, but it almost certainly won't require you to use ReplaceNode.
ISelDAGToDAG is a place where you do instruction selection and instruction
selection needs machine SD nodes by definition - you can't have target
independent nodes after selection. It really sounds like you are interested
in writing a DAGCombine transformation. Of course, it is possible that you
need a specific custom legalization which is a little different, but I will
assume you need a DAG combine as your question sounds the most like a DAG
combine.

The way you would accomplish this is to mark the input node as one for
which you have a DAG combine. You accomplish this using
setTargetDAGCombine(<node>). Looks like RISCV has a handful of nodes for
which they have combines. Then in RISCVTargetLowering::PerformDAGCombine(),
you will add your node to the switch and dispatch to the function that
performs your DAG combine. You can follow the example of ISD::AND in
RISCVISelLowering.cpp which gets combined in performANDCombine().

I hope this helps, but I realize that I may be completely off in terms of
what you are after.
