Diff Detail Event TimelineComment Actions Let's have the feature be a positive feature that just happens to be on by default in a lot of places. +/-dont-use-movt seems weird. -eric Comment Actions Do you mean I should replace ARMSubtarget::DontUseMovt with ARMSubtarget::UseMovt which is true by default? That should work. Or do you mean we should use FeatureUseMovt : SubtargetFeature<"use-movt"> instead of FeatureDontUseMovt<"dont-use-movt">? If I understand correctly how subtarget features work, I think that would require clang (and other front-ends) to add feature "+use-movt" whenever we want to allow emitting movt/movw pairs as opposed to adding "+dont-use-movt" only when we want to disallow doing so. Assuming you would want to allow movt/movw pairs in the common case, wouldn't it be better to use a negative feature?
