Currently isReallyTriviallyReMaterializableGeneric() implementation
prevents rematerialization on any virtual register use on the grounds
that is not a trivial rematerialization and that we do not want to
extend liveranges.
It appears that LRE logic does not attempt to extend a liverange of
a source register for rematerialization so that is not an issue.
That is checked in the LiveRangeEdit::allUsesAvailableAt().
The only non-trivial aspect of it is accounting for tied-defs which
normally represent a read-modify-write operation and not rematerializable.
The test for a tied-def situation already exists in the
/CodeGen/AMDGPU/remat-vop.mir,
test_no_remat_v_cvt_f32_i32_sdwa_dst_unused_preserve.
The change has affected ARM/Thumb, Mips, RISCV, and x86. For the targets
where I more or less understand the asm it seems to reduce spilling
(as expected) or be neutral. However, it needs a review by all targets'
specialists.
The comments looks reasonable to me. The use register's live range is extended if we rematerialize def register. Removing this code is not friendly to RA. Do you have any data to ensure there is no side effect but benefit by removing this code?
