This patch adds a path to DAGCombiner::MergeConsecutiveStores() to combine multiple scalar stores when the store operands are extracted vector elements. This is a partial fix for PR21711 ( http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=21711 ).
For the new test case, codegen improves from:
vmovss %xmm0, (%rdi) vextractps $1, %xmm0, 4(%rdi) vextractps $2, %xmm0, 8(%rdi) vextractps $3, %xmm0, 12(%rdi) vextractf128 $1, %ymm0, %xmm0 vmovss %xmm0, 16(%rdi) vextractps $1, %xmm0, 20(%rdi) vextractps $2, %xmm0, 24(%rdi) vextractps $3, %xmm0, 28(%rdi) vzeroupper retq
To:
vmovups %ymm0, (%rdi) vzeroupper retq
Note that this patch depends on http://reviews.llvm.org/D6678 to avoid even worse codegen on SandyBridge. See http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=21711#c7 for more details.
