[TableGen] Support encoding and decoding per-HwMode
ClosedPublic

Authored by jmolloy on Sep 13 2019, 3:58 AM.

Details

Summary

Much like ValueTypeByHwMode/RegInfoByHwMode, this patch allows targets
to modify an instruction's encoding based on HwMode. When the
EncodingInfos field is non-empty the Inst and Size fields of the Instruction
are ignored and taken from EncodingInfos instead.

As part of this promote getHwMode() from TargetSubtargetInfo to MCSubtargetInfo.

This new feature is not used by any of the existing in-tree targets - new code
is generated only if targets use EncodingByHwMode.
That being said, there's basic test coverage in llvm/test/TableGen/HwModeEncodeDecode.td

Can you quote where https://llvm.org/docs/DeveloperPolicy.html#test-cases says it's okay to commit dead code with no test coverage?

Hi Roman,

What are you referring to?

(a) This diff has not been submitted, it is a patch for code review. If it doesn't have tests, that is something that can be mentioned in this review without being passive-aggressive.
(b) This diff has tests.

Cheers,

James

Hi Roman,

Yep!

If it doesn't have tests, that is something that can be mentioned in this review without being passive-aggressive.

For future reference, how those my two review comments are passive-aggressive?
From where i stand that remark is.

(b) This diff has tests.

Cool, let's make that more obvious :)
Usually in most other cases that wording "NFC for in-tree targets" means something different..

Cheers,

James

Your comment was (parsed by me as being) accusatory of submitting code without test coverage. The comment is written to be deliberately unanswerable as you well know the section you linked to says not to submit code without test coverage.

This use of rhetoric will come across as accusatory to some. In future, to avoid misinterpretation, perhaps phrase more lightly; something like "This doesn't look NFC to me, shouldn't it have tests?".

(b) This diff has tests.

I'm happy to reword the commit message. Note that "NFC for in-tree targets" implies it's not NFC for non-in-tree targets, but I'm very happy to add clarity to the commit message.

In future, to avoid misinterpretation, it might be a good idea to read the patch fully before accusing a submitter of not adding tests.

Cheers,

James

This is probably unnecessary with your change.

This is probably also unnecessary now.

Unfortunately it's still necessary, as TargetSubtargetInfo and MCSubtargetInfo are not related. We need HwModes in both (test failures bear this out).

Looks good to me.

llvm/utils/TableGen/SubtargetEmitter.cpp

TargetSubtargetInfo inherits from MCSubtargetInfo, but you're right---each target defines its own subclass of MCSubtargetInfo which is not a part of TargetSubtargetInfo, so both need to be modified.

Don't forget to generate diff with context

Thanks Simon! The patch was uploaded with -U999, but this one's with -U9999 just in case :)

Hi Simon,

Are you happy for me to go ahead and commit this?

Cheers,
